Online Video Q and A with Tamara Seward

[scalpedsociety]

[As the video stream begins Tamara appears in a fairly casual dress with a shawl (granted her hair is still done well and her makeup is flawless on camera) she's casual, but not 'appear without makeup with her notoriously crazy hair loose' casual. Her laptop is parked near the piano in the penthouse and her mood is relaxed and generous to her fans. After all the craziness of the past couple weeks with Pride and the recent firings, she felt she owed the fans (and herself) something calming. She takes a sip out her cup of tea and begins, regal and warm as royalty and a mother should be.]

Hello there members and servants of the Court of Thorns and old fans of mine, welcome to my Q and A session. If you're curious about what tea I'm drinking today, it's rooibos and citrus green.

I know many of you are curious about behind the scene things with Crown of Thorns and possibly what I do off the keys. So shoot. There are almost no stupid questions.

[ "thornylover2042" could fill the whole chat with exclamation points if given the chance. ]

ommmmmmmmmg ok ive always wanted to ask u!!!!!

my hair is like a super mess i h8 it but i luv urs!!how do u make urs look like ist on purpose?!

[scalpedsociety]

[Aramat gives a patient smile at this.]

thornylover2042, I can honestly tell you that it's not. The updo and various means I use to conceal my hair when it gets crazy, that's on purpose. Granted, I have good days for my hair too.

The point is I'm trying to make is unless you have a flatiron, lots of time on your hands and a surefire way to make your hair survive that, don't try and fight your curls and waves. Instead, work with it. Find hairstyles you like, condition often, and hats are your friend when you go out for errands.

[panspermia]

do u ever have trouble with things getting stuck in it??? i once used a beret 2 hold it bakc and i never found it again o_O;;;;

[ they're probably exaggerating but they're excited ]

[scalpedsociety]

Oh it happens. Lint, hairpins I forget for a week, even some food. You have to be thorough when washing it.

[panspermia]

bluhhhhh it takes so long :-(
do u have like servants n stuf 2 do it now that ur supr rich?

screened to Tamara

[variaboss]

So, when we gonna bang?

screened----> private

[scalpedsociety]

[It's very telling that the message is only to her and not shown to anyone else. Also... anonymous. She ignores the message until the Q and A session is done. Soon an offer for private video chat goes to Xanxus' email.

It's no longer exclusively video on Tamara's side anymore, giving Xanxus the option to turn on his own webcam.

Tamara appears again, this time in her room... with the door closed.]

You should be ashamed of yourself, you know. You could ask me that without having to come online.

[Again her tone is clearly not angry, but still teasing.]

Re: screened----> private Webcam

[variaboss]

[ Webcam turns on and look at that amazing sixpack. Guess who's only in some jeans. He's playing dirty. ]

Should I be? That would mean I did something to be ashamed of. I see nothing scandalous about being attracted to a beautiful woman. As for asking you, I'm sure you didn't want me showing up at your door during your Q and A session.

[scalpedsociety]

[R U D E. Like he's already asking for some webcam playtime.]

Flatterer. And who knows, imagine all the articles and twitter mentions at Xanxus appearing on camera with me. You like attention, correct?

But I like this, us all alone on screen...

[What things they can get up to...]

[sponsorigami]

[ User "murderofcrows25" has been very proper during chat and has worked up the courage to ask a question. ]

I am looking to learn music. What do you suggest I do?

[scalpedsociety]

murderofcrows25, which is a great username by the way... You could take lessons, like I did. You could get an instrument and learn on your own with people on the web or copy videos on youtube until you get it right or hell, get a garbage can and start banging away on the street until the noises feel right and on rhythm.

But don't let anyone tell you what is the 'wrong' or 'right' way to play or learn your music. Not even me. Do what feels right for you.

[sponsorigami]

Thank you. I like my username too.

I do not know what instrument to try. My school does not have a band class anymore, and I do not think a garbage can will be for me.

[scalpedsociety]

What kind of sounds do you like? What instruments do you feel yourself drawn to when you hear them or see them? You should ask yourself these questions.

[iitrebel]

[On the screen, Tamara might notice her troublemaking troll son slip into the background casually, on his phone.]

[She will then notice a username of "jackofthorns" signing into the chat.]

Who is your favorite bandmate?

[scalpedsociety]

[Tamara doesn't even address the username. Because everyone on chat knows who it is.]

That's hard and rude question, you know. Why would you ask a mother that?

[She's at once offended and amused.]

[iitrebel]

[Oh yeah, everyone knows who it is, and there's already fans attempting to mob him in the chat too now that he's made an appearance. He's blatantly ignoring everyone, his grin obvious in the camera as he types up another reply.]

I'm a nosy shit, what else would you expect? Curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back.

[agains]

unseeliebark: is it true you're
unseeliebark: you know
unseeliebark: that your magic comes from That Place??

[ self-proclaimed fae-kin trying to keep "their" "secret identities" as members of faerie courts under wraps, at your service. probably literally

tamara do you want a stalker who just wants to lick your boots and learn your ~special fairy glamours~? ]

[scalpedsociety]

[She doesn't like stalkers, but she sure likes keeping her boots clean. So she'll humor the faerie girl. Her voice gets musical... which is a played up commanding, yet ethereal tone.]

It comes from many places darling...

[Leave her to stew over that.]

[agains]

unseeliebark: as a humble servant of your court, thank you for listening to my question
unseeliebark: are you attending any conventions or doing signings any time soon??
unseeliebark: if i may be so bold as to ask

[scalpedsociety]

I'm not too sure, a fan of mine got hurt during one of these conventions. I wouldn't want to risk anyone getting hurt.

Sorry this is so late! RANDOM GRUMPY ONLINE NPC (NOT ROY)

[snapcrackleburn]

[ No open Q & A online is complete without some random jerk dropping in determined to make someone feel bad. Sorry Tamara. It's that time. ]

2Quewel: I heard you're banging half the guys at Pride.
2Quewel: What was the last time you were tested for STDs?

NAH, THIS IS GREAT

[scalpedsociety]

[Keep in mind, saying shit like this around Tamara's fans is like walking into a biker bar and saying 'I don't like bikes.' Several fans flame the HELL out the rude newcomer and insults are thrown.

Tamara just calmly sips her tea before addressing that person.]

One, you're rude and don't know the first thing about talking to a lady.

Two, don't ask people if they have been tested for STDS unless you're about to sleep with them.

Three, you seem very invested in my number of sexual partners. Are you secretly jealous or are you one of those stupid people that wouldn't care if a man did the same but it threatens you? Or are you just mad because your favorites might be in that hypothetical pile?

Oh and for the record, right now I'm banging only one man in Pride. So sorry for getting your hopes up.

OH SNAP! (Roy is facepalming because his account is being used by an idiot NPC)

[snapcrackleburn]

[ This foolish anon tries to blow off anything said by the fans and calls them losers for "worshiping the she-demon" this conversation revolves around. ]

2Quewel: Oh right! So not Pride. You must sleep around at those events at Virgo.
2Quewel: I'm concerned about your sex life because I don't see how the likes of you has one.
2Quewel: But then again guys just love an easy woman. A slut is a slut no matter how much the media pays her.

[scalpedsociety]

No. I don't. [She's too busy trying not to be paranoid. She laughs at that, honestly amused.]

'The likes of me'... I need you to explain that for me. No really I'm curious about you, '2Quewel' and the way you think.

[Meanwhile the chat is set ABLAZE with the recent revelation and are throwing various names out to Tamara]

there are some things u can't say to italians' mommas

[sharktrash]

suckmydickimashark: you don't just fucking say that
suckmydickimashark: 1v1 me irl asshole
