Merilchat: Write to Meril and She Will Answer On Camera!

[nibelungvalesti]

[The video stream begins as Meril sits back down in her chair and folds her hand in her lap. As much as this is supposed to be an 'informal hello from the keyboardist to her fans', the woman is clearly dressed up for the camera in a stylish skirt and an unnecessary shoulder wrap. The area behind her has been carefully sanitized, showing only the view out the penthouse window behind her, but the attentive can catch a glimpse of her desk in the very corner of the screen.]

Good afternoon, everyone, and hello to all my fans out there. I see a lot of you in chat today, so I'm looking forward to answering your questions or even just talking to you. I cannot get to everyone, but I will do my best, so don't get discouraged.

[She doesn't sound particularly thrilled to be doing this, but then again, that's her image, isn't it?]

Yes, Greg is a pleasure to work with.

[And the very faintest of smiles might just creep through there.]

[panspermia]

[ Greg doesn't yell out again, for the sake of her professionalism if not his own. But he heard that. You're the best, Meril. ]

[ merilmerilmeril has her eyes practically glued to the screen ]

is that a smile from our ice queen!?!?!1

[ Did she just glimpse history being made? Please someone else say they saw that too! Better yet, screenshots! ]

[nibelungvalesti]

Even I cannot help but be a little amused when I find a happy-face sticker stuck to my bathroom mirror in the morning.

Of course, I think he was just looking for a hiding spot.

[sponsorigami]

i would murder if someone stuck stickers to my mirror
but you're so beautiful you probably wake up like that

[nibelungvalesti]

Thank you for the compliment. That is very kind of you. [Meril inclines her head slightly, now every bit the proper Ice Queen once again.]

[sponsorigami]

[ Oh well. The glimpse couldn't last forever. And now merilmerilmeril seems to have gotten into a heated argument with another fan about realistic it would be for their Ice Queen to have a stylist and make up artist there while she wakes, and merilmerilmeril seems personally insulted that anyone would doubt their queen. She doesn't need any of that! She's perfect!

She has also apparently forgotten her earlier question about Meril being professional 24/7... ]

[nibelungvalesti]

If I can answer one question, I am blessed with very low-maintenance hair. Relatively speaking, of course, because at this length it takes a great deal of time to properly brush and braid. But it is very resilient and does not take too much extra care to tend to.

[sponsorigami]

but you have servants to do that

[ She's a loyal fan, but her ideas are a little misguided. ]

[nibelungvalesti]

I would not want servants if I had them. My privacy and personal life are valuable to me. I would dislike anyone wandering into my bedroom or taking care of such personal tasks for me.

[sponsorigami]

[ Oh no! She's upset the queen. Off with her head! Now she's at a complete loss of what to do. ]

oh

[nibelungvalesti]

[Meril relaxes slightly, which is as close to a kindly smile as she generally comes.] Servants seem like a wonderful thing, but if you actually think about it, aren't they a little strange?

[sponsorigami]

how? i'd be honored to serve you

[ Other people in the chat are calling her a suck up and desperate, and there is someone constantly adding "if you know what i mean" after just about every comment. ]

[nibelungvalesti]

[Yes, yes, chat rooms are vicious.]

But you would not be allowed to enjoy it. You would have to be professional, and businesslike. It certainly would not be a fun day with a keyboardist.

[sponsorigami]

[ Does she have to be professional? ]

i guess your right...
