What the hell was all of that about? I get off work and come back to a whole bunch of nonsense on my journal! My younger sisters were just about to read that ridiculous entry; I just managed to grab it out of their hands. Are you lot trying to get me in trouble with my mum and dad!?

Bloody hell, learn some common sense!

Don't encourage them. I've got to babysit them every evening while my parents are out working.

Nothing wrong with a little elbow grease, and you get paid. Don't see why not.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, because I really see you letting me anywhere near your family.

Well as long as you enjoy it really, and money is always fun, I'll give you that too.

[di_intraining]

I don't want them reading this journal and seeing someone actually compliment them on rule-breaking.

Work's alright. Nothing exciting.

Have you been following the Olympics?

[arrogantalloy]

I'd call it rule bending.

I didn't know working was meant to be exciting.

I saw the swimming, diving, gymnastics. There are a lot of flexible women this year.

[di_intraining]

More like blatant rule-breaking! You can't get anymore specific than "Don't touch this book, it's off-limits to everyone but me."

It can be, depending on the job.

I saw football, it was damn painful to watch.

[arrogantalloy]

Really have a thing about rule breaking there, don't you? They're sisters, not citizens of Lestradia. Even I know siblings exists just to annoy their old siblings.

I wouldn't know, I've never had a job, just obligations.

Wait, I did see the soccer. Well, America's wining match against Japan. That wasn't all that painful for me to watch.

[di_intraining]

Rules are there for a reason; they keep things in order. I don't want my sisters growing up to be troublemakers.

What kind of obligations? Showing up for press photos?

Fuc You done showing off? Sometimes I have to wonder which side of the pond you're on, Stark.

[arrogantalloy]

Not every rule that's in place is a rule that should be obeyed.

Anything that has the heir to the throne looking like he's still interested in the family business. It's a good image for Stark Industries. Makes us family friendly.

Showing pride in my country isn't showing off. And I'm on the side of the pond with the better magical education. I might live here but I'm still American and proud.

[di_intraining]

And that's why we have people in the lock-up, thinking they're above the law and doing as they bloody well please.

Must be nice to get paid for smiling at the cameras.

No, but rubbing it in my face is.

[arrogantalloy]

And how many are in there for jay walking? Or maybe the whole television licensing? And the whole thing with the swans.

I don't get paid for that. It's all a part of being a Stark. I only see actual profit if I take over the company.

That wasn't rubbing it in your face, I was just pointing out the American women's team won. And that it was a good match, rubbing it in your face would have been if I mentioned that the English team hasn't even placed so far. But you know, I haven't.

Delayed strike, Tony can probably read what he wrote.

[di_intraining]

There's a reason jay walking's on that list. You can cause accidents on busy roads. Property damage, traffic jams, injuries, casualties.

You don't own the company?

Fine. Maybe you weren't. But I wouldn't put it beside you to

[arrogantalloy]

And what about the thing with the swans? That it's illegal to eat them.

What 14 year old owns a company? It's held in trust for me till I'm 21.

Have you seen the medal tally? I don't have to rub anything anywhere.

[di_intraining]

It's illegal to kill the birds, that's why you can't eat them.

So you don't have to do anything with it until you're 21?

And exactly how big is the US and China compared to the UK? I reckon if we were the same size, we'd be topping that score board. If anything, I think we're doing better than the lot of you.

[arrogantalloy]

Why is it illegal? It's not like they're endangered, I see them everywhere. Which is my point, it's a law, and it's dumb.

Other than photo ops, or really important benefits. No, I don't have anything to do with it. I'm not even allowed to submit any of my plans either.

Well, you're third on the tally. So clearly you're better than other big countries. Maybe We just want it more than you. Because back home, second place isn't an option.
