(yup, it's another quote from nicc)
"So, what do you think, Tori?" I asked after I finished talking about my recent realization. "Let me think.. Well, there's this composer, whose name was a variant of Louis .. and your sixth great-grandfather lived in the early 19th century, like him, so maybe he likes his music and idolized him or something? Idk, just.. my thoughts as a musician," Tori said.
"Well, that's actually a pretty neat theory. Nice, Tori." She smiled. I suddenly remembered about my conversation with my sibling last night. "Tori, babe, you remember Claude, right?"
"Your older sibling? Yeah, I remember them. Why?"
I took a deep breath. "Well, they just directed an adaptation of our sixth great-grandfather's play, and the protagonist's name is Alois.."
"Interesting. I'll search that play up, I promise." Tori and I did the pinky promise. "Anyways, my parents probably wants me to go home already, so, sorry, and bye, darling!" She gave me one last hug, and I waved at her as she left my room.

New short story go yeet–
23rd of April, 1920
Louisette was busy with her work. She rereads her handwritten script and crossed some parts here and there.
"Ah, dear lord! Why on earth I made so many mistakes in just one paragraph?! And I hadn't started on describing the clothes.. where can I found something, or anything about late 1820s men's fashion?!"
As someone who was a history major, Louisette based a lot of her novels on history. Her work in progress, When Sunflowers change to Green Carnations, is a novel about a widower who fell in love with his confidant, set in the late 1820s, 1829 to be exact.
And it was hard to find information about the fashion of that time; she only knew that the early 19th century fashion was different from the other decades. She heard some false information about how ladies of that time didn't wore their stays anymore, for the waistline of dresses is right under the bust, and that was it.
Louisette decided that she'll rest for a while, and called Cosette.
"Hello, may I talk to Madame Pellerin–"
"Louisette! Oh my goodness, do you know what day is today?"
"What day is it?" Louisette asked, puzzled.
"It's Aurelie's 5th birthday! Come here, Aurelie, talk to Madame Guillaume!"
Aurelie spoke to the phone. "Hello, Madame Guillaume."
"Hello, Aurelie. Happy birthday to you."
"And what do we say, sweetie?"
"Merci beaucoup!"
"Good. Now, can you go to another room for a while, Aurelie? I want to talk to my friend."
Louisette was curious. Why did she asked Aurelie to leave her alone? Is she going to tell her something?
"So, Louisette, how you're doing?"
"Good."
"How's your novel going?"
"Still stuck on a paragraph. Don't know what men in the late 1820s wore."
"A friend of mine has some fashion plates from late 18th century to 1910s. I'll ask his permission for you to borrow them."
"Thank you–"
"But on one condition," said Cosette. "I'm invited to someone's wedding next Friday, I think his name's Henry something.. He told me to bring a date, and I don't know who to bring, so.. Will you go with me? As a friend?"
Louisette thinks about it for a while. "I.. guess?"
Cosette giggled. "Alright, then. Would you like to stay here for some time before the day?"
"I think I'm going to go to your house on Monday."
"See you later!"
it’s so funny to me that throughout the books, movies, AND tv show that everyone still walks around calling hannibal “DOCTOR lecter”. like. none of yall thought to revoke this man’s medical license when he went to jail for MURDER????
