Anything you say, Mrs. Lovett.

ooc: OMG! YAY! XD

Wouldn't it be wonderful, love?

OOC: Totally your fault, just so you know. Spent all last night and this morning wavering between "Do I make a Mrs. Lovett muse" or "Do I not".

Now if only the DVD were out so I could make better icons..

*waves a hand dismissively* Yes, yes. Of course.

ooc: I'm more than happy to take full responsibilty, lol. Ooh, don't. I can't wait for the DVD to come out XD.

Shouldn't take long, I should think, what with business as it is.

OOC: Listening to the soundtrack clenched it, haha. And yes, DVD coming out will be good. It's so hard to find pictures of her as Lovett. Oh well! I managed with enough.

*to himself, completely ignoring her* Have to get to the Judge ... but how?

ooc: Haha, I'm listening to it at the moment! Well, the Broadway version of it anyway.

*calmly* Don't fret about it, my love. It simply requires a little patience. He'll come back.

OOC: Still need to buy that. Probably will be getting it sometime this week!

He won't. Not now. That opportunity is lost.

Hush now. Just bide your time, love, and he'll come back. You'll have him, you will.

I don't think the seaside is nearly as pretty as people imagine, really.

It all depends on the company, dear.

Governesses are hardly good company, I'll concede.

But for a nice couple and a little boy.. Well, the seaside would be quite wonderful!

Certainly brighter than London, I imagine.

Oh yes. It should be perfectly wonderful.

*raises an eyebrow and snorts just a little, going back to his work*

ooc: whoo! this is musical!todd

*doesn't seem to notice the disinterest and continues her daydreaming*

OOC: Which I will see as soon as it comes to a theatre near me. But do any of the good theatres show it? Nooo.

*bustles around, making sure everything is in it's proper place*

Do you think we'll get anymore today?

ooc: it's awesome. it's doing a tour at the moment, I'm not sure where you live or such.

It is still early, Mr. Todd. I shouldn't be surprised if we had one or two more customers today.

OOC: Middle of the US. In one of those "things don't tend to come here" areas. Oh well. It will eventually.

*nods, distracted* Still time for the Judge.

Yes, love, of course.

Too little time...too long to wait. *mutters underneath his breath, still not really paying attention to her* Fifteen years too long.

There's still plenty of time, Mr. T. You'll see.

I've never been to the sea, sir.

OOC: I couldn't resist either. lol

Oh! A customer!

Are you here to see Mr. Todd for a shave? Or may I interest you in a meat pie and ale, sir?

Seems very overwhelmed. I am Todd, sir.

*goes into full 'hostess' mode*

Well! Isn't that charming? I have a boarder, lives upstairs and keeps a barber shop y'see, named Todd as well.

Welcome, welcome. What can I get for you, sir? A pint of ale? Or perhaps some gin?

Pauses, unsure if he understood half of what she was talking about. I want to see the sea.

*pauses for a moment but presses on*

Well, it is absolutely lovely. Not that I've been myself, never quite had the money, you see? But if Mr. T's business and mine keeps like it is, well!

You could go to the sea, you know. On holiday, with your friends and family. *gets a cup of ale* Are you sure you wouldn't like something to drink, sir?

Soldiers don't have friends.

Looks at the cup. I have never had ale or gin. What is it?

Don't have.. *pauses, continues more sweetly* Well! Surely you have family! Someone to miss you if you were gone. Everyone needs that.. *eyes him carefully*

You've never.. Bless my soul! Wonderful drink, ale. Washes down a meat pie perfectly. Shouldn't drink too much of it, of course, but one cup never hurt a soul.

Soldiers have no families. Todd paused for a moment thinking again. Sandra would not have anyone to help her build if I left.

I would try it.

*tries not to be disappointed* See? I knew there was someone!

Here, here. *sets the glass in front of him* And shall I get you a meat pie as well? Best in all of London!

I defend her colony.

Todd takes the glass and not knowing any better drinks the whole glass down. Yes, sir.

Oh, well, yes. Naturally she and her whole colony would miss you.. Does she know you're in London, sir?

*smiles sweetly* You can call me Mrs. Lovett, dear.

No.

Todd nodded and committed her name to memory. He didn't think he would forget her.

*perks up slightly* So! Are you all alone here in London, sir?

Yes, Mrs. Lovett, sir.

You poor thing!

I'll tell you what. How about you go on upstairs and call on Mr. Todd? Tell him that I sent you up for one of his finest shaves. He'll give you an excellent price on it, my dear sir!

I don't shave sir.

You don't have shave, sir? How very odd. I have never met a gentleman who does not shave..

Soldiers are breed so we don't need to shave.

How.. very odd.

Doesn't know what to say and so busies himself inspecting the shop from where he is standing.

*keeps smiling, supposing she can't win them all*

You eat your fill, dear!

I would like to eat the pies.
