I'm going to have to meet this Archer one day. He sounds like a good time.

[graveflowers]

Usually is, when he's sans hookers. [ a beat, before words just spill out of her mouth, apologetically like she doesn't want to be putting this on felicity but she can't stop herself. ] God, it's such a mess here. Everything sucks. Everyone is on edge or depressed or just fucking batshit. It's like a swirling pool of chaos and it blows. I want to come home, I hate everything. But I don't want to be near people because it is so hard pretending to be okay for other people's sakes so I don't make them feel bad because I can't summon a fuck to give about anything. I adore Rafael, but I don't give a shit one way or another if he goes to jail right now, I just want it to be over.

[allmydreams]

[Felicity sighs softly, a look of sympathy on her face because she gets it.]

Where are you, in the trial? Has the defense started yet?

[graveflowers]

I don't... I don't even know. [ she shakes her head helplessly. ] I pay attention for like a minute and then I escape to sit in the hall. I just can't give a fuck.

[allmydreams]

[She sighs softly before nodding.]

Okay, well, it can't be much longer. And before you know it you will be back home and here and we can watch stupidly cheesy movies and eat popcorn and the world can go screw itself.

[graveflowers]

That sounds perfect. [ and she can't help the tears that well up in her eyes because all she wants is just that. she wants home and to hide in the castle and not have to think about anything else except caddyshack. and maybe what toppings she should put on her popcorn. ] I miss you.

[allmydreams]

I miss you too.

[It feels weird, not having her around, and she just wants them to be on the same continent again, is that too much to ask?]

And tell your elf boyfriend who I haven't actually met that he better be taking good care of you.

[graveflowers]

Oh he is. Look. [ she twists the screen on her tablet to show felicity the massive explosion of hundreds of flowers in the room. literally, hundreds of flowers, most of them white, with bursts of purple and orange and a little red because there are some poppies because a lot of her favorite flowers are poisonous, oops. it looks like a florists blew up in the hotel. she slowly turns the screen back to herself, smiling softly. so in love it's gross. but this was definitely a good subject change because violet has visibly relaxed. ] Did you know it's Valentine's Day? Because I sure was not aware when I woke up this morning and then surprise, all the flowers in Chicago are now in my room. I smell so good right now.

[allmydreams]

[She smiles widely at that. She did know it was Valentine's Day, and she's glad to see that at least the elf was on top of it.]

You're right. He is a keeper.

[graveflowers]

Isn't he though? The only part of this that doesn't suck. And room service -- room service on the daily does not suck at all.

[allmydreams]

I hope you are ordering like ... five hundred dollar cheeseburgers, just to say you did.

[Those totally exist, she saw it on TV.]

[graveflowers]

Definitely. They have this massive ice cream monstrosity that Myri and I plowed through the other day, it was both magical and disgusting.

[allmydreams]

Ugh, ice cream. Now you're speaking my language.

[graveflowers]

I'll find a restaurant near the castle that does the same thing and we'll have a date.

[allmydreams]

Oooh, a date. I'll definitely get dressed up next time.

[graveflowers]

Right? I mean not that you aren't hella fly on the regular, babe, I'm only sexified because Luthir is taking me out. [ she shrugs like sorry, boo, this minidress is for that gorgeous motherfucker's benefit. ] But I will definitely get my ass looking stellar for our romantic ice cream tryst. We will be so pretty the men and women of London will fall at our feet. Maybe even some royalty.

[ INSERTS PRINCE HARRY INTO EVERYTHING IDEC. ]

[allmydreams]

[Well, Prince Harry is awesome, so there.]

I am all for the royalty option. I'll even settle for several steps from the throne. I think "duchess" or "countess" has a nice ring to it.

[graveflowers]

Ooh, Duchess Felicity Braddock does have that... something. I'd tap that. [ of course you would, vi. ]

[allmydreams]

[Duh.]

Promise you'll love me for more than my title?

[graveflowers]

I'll... try. [ sniiiiiiiiicker. ] Really hard, I'll try really hard.

[allmydreams]

[She laughs.]

Trying is all I ask.

[graveflowers]

[ she glances behind her at something. ] Alas, my lovely love. I must flee. [ a beat. ] Finnick has cake. I need cake, so... I'll call you later?

[allmydreams]

[Felicity nods, blowing her a quick kiss through the screen.]

Have fun. I'll see you soon.

[And with that, she disconnects.]
