Beats and Emi chatty chat

[NEW PRIVATE MAWALYFE THREAD]

🎶Beats Freestyle

Emi, Emi, I know you're there. Even though you left with flair.

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

What do you want? Are you here to call me Lady Cakefingers too? Or riffraff?

🎶Beats Freestyle

Riff-Raff has good tunes. Sad his name is used for goons. I am here to be a friend. To turn this table on its end.

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

You are?

How do you plan to do that?

🎶Beats Freestyle

Sure, on your face, cake may crumble, but if you handle it well, it shows you're humble.

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

I have a hard time seeing how this can be turned to a positive.

🎶Beats Freestyle

I respect that paper kid. For putting a name to what they did. But the messenger is often shot. One gets what one has wrought.

I can stop rhyming if it makes you comfortable, Emi.

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

I cannot say I agree. Putting your name on your work is nothing respectable if the work itself is not worthy of respect...

... Stopping the rhyming would be most appreciated. It feels less serious when put in rhymes like that.

🎶Beats Freestyle

None of you really understand the music, huh. But yeah, I'll stop.

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

I understand music perfectly fine. But I am not in the mood for song, at the moment.

🎶Beats Freestyle

Hm. Your family name was besmirched.

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

'Twas mostly my own, I suspect.

... I hope maman and dad won't be angry. They don't get angry with me, but... Lud love me. Slandered and called riffraff before my campaign truly starts!

🎶Beats Freestyle

You going to slander back, Emi?

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

I do not intend to just let my name be dragged like that, with no consequence... I can't. What sort of example would that set? That I can simply be stepped on and not fight back?

🎶Beats Freestyle

It depends. I like a good diss-off in rap battle format, but what are you going to get by yelling at the news?

Hermes has less to lose than you, Emi.

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

I am aware of that.

... Apologies for my curtness. I am... 'Tis hard to keep calm with the notifications at the top of the screen appearing all the time.

🎶Beats Freestyle

It's too late to 'pologizeeee.

You're fine, Emi.

Listen, people are going to say bad things when they're scared.

I was... taught that.

But you don't have to say bad things back. Sure, it's fun when you're on the mike... but eventually someone's going to go too far. And then they'll be the bad guy.

I want leaders who are upfront and willing to deal with the bad press with dignity.

And you did that. That's why I want to be your hypebat. That's why I want to be Basil's. You guys have dignity. And not too much dignity like North does.

I've got a point to prove. That the upper class Bunbats aren't just two-faced or morons or psycho-phants.

Sycophants!

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

... I will chose to not take that as an insult.

But... La, if you wish to help me, I shan't say no to your offer.

... But I must do something.

🎶Beats Freestyle

Why?

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

What I did may have saved my face at the table, but la, what good does it do me with the rest of our peers?

🎶Beats Freestyle

Seems like that's what Hermes wants. That's why you step on the stage. To fight.

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

How do you want me to fight? I am more than willing to hear your suggestions.

🎶Beats Freestyle

Well, you can own it! Spring off of it. Show that this doesn't even slow you down. Or build yourself up!

You can let North and Hermes fight each other, even.

Just keep making yourself look good and your flaws will shrink.

Unless your family's killed people or something... what is there to hide, Emi?

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

Own it? How do I "own" an article with an image like that?

Begad. My family? Kill people? Bah. My maman would never, and my dad would not know how to even if he wanted to. He'd not risk staining or ruffling up his suits.

🎶Beats Freestyle

Emi. We're a pride based bunch! That's why I know like 5000 words and can build a portable speaker system. What pride will you get in beating up those too insecure to HYPE THEMSELVES UP?

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

I do not want to hide. 'Tis cowardly to do so.

Mon dieu...

... You suggest I respond with a song? Or a poem?

🎶Beats Freestyle

...I'll write you a song if you want! That's what I do well.

5000 words and speakers and all.

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

Gad... It does not need to be 5000 words...

... If you do that... Write me a song or a poem for me to respond to this with... I would be most grateful. If you can turn this whole... Event, into something that does not make me unflattering, then...

...

... I will take that option, if you can give it to me.

🎶Beats Freestyle

I have one condition

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

But as you said yourself, I have much to lose. And doing nothing would be a defeat. It would be letting myself and my family name be trampled, and I cannot do that.

... Name your condition.

🎶Beats Freestyle

Will you be my friend?

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

That is your only condition?

...

Of course. I said it at the table, did I not? One can only have too few friends.

🎶Beats Freestyle

In my business, you need connections, Emi.

And the best connections is friends. Thank you.

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

You have been nothing but kind. Even in the face of... This. I would be a fool to turn you away.

🎶Beats Freestyle

I march to my own Beats, Emi. And you might be able to help the tempo!

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

I shall try. If you help me in return.

... Now, I must go. I still need to return to maman and dad. They are at the manor in LongHua, so I might still hope to reach them with this news before they find out on their own.

🎶Beats Freestyle

Yeah. Go to you family! I'll catch you later!

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

Indeed.

Farewell, Lady Freestyle.

🎶Beats Freestyle

Oh! I've never been called that before.

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

You have not? My apologies if it was inappropriate to call you that. Should I call you something else?

🎶Beats Freestyle

Oh no no no no. Just call me BEATS FREESTYLE if you want!

🏵️Emilienne Armande Scarletwing

Alright then. Beats Freestyle. Farewell.

🎶Beats Freestyle

AND BEATS IS OUT
