Oh. Just the thought of that is enough to propel her toward the liquor cabinet in the front room, luggage left behind in the foyer. She shrugs, nonchalant as ever. “I wasn’t planning on it.” Which is code for Bart and I are on the outs. “I trust you can fill me in after. Speaking of—what else have I missed?” Whiskey poured into two crystal-cut lowball glasses; her way of inviting her daughter to come have a chat. It’s tradition, after all. 

Teen follows after the matriarch, still suffering from whiplash of the sudden arrival and lacking in the time to PROCESS IT so early in the morning. She wasn’t surprised about the rejected invite, but inner gossip needed to know all about the newest falling out before Chuck did. Daintily does she lift her glass, lifted up in homecoming welcome. ❝ Actually- what did I miss ?? Last I knew, you two were practically building a love nest in Florence or somewhere equally...romantic. What changed ?? ❞

            Dan chuckled.  The thing was it wasn’t HIS business at all, but Gossip Girl’s.  And he knew that the more Blair spilled the more he could write.  He knew plenty from people sending texts to him and emails and so many dirty things that he could easily write about, but it’s becoming more and more fun to write about the elite.  ❝ so your father is coming home?  is that for good?  i heard all about it through serena. ❞

      ❝Serena. ❞ Personal details of barely held together home life being passed from on-again-off-again BFF to her Brooklyn boy toy soiled pleasantries the slightest. Smile sours, sickly sweet as she tries not to let too much of blossoming irritation show. ❝  NO. He’s not home for good, just for the holidays. I’m sure you know all about that with your mother. I heard all about it through Serena. ❞

“i’m SORRY?” an eyebrow shot up on her forehead. she had always admired blair waldorf, so she jumped at the chance to help. maybe that was a mistake. “what do you need me to DO?”

        ❝ I need you to stay ALERT. ❞ Pile of discarded fabric is lifted and held out to girl before her, brows raised in impatience. ❝ Can’t have anything running behind, can we ?? Busy week of ahead of us, I have to know you can handle it. ❞

sorry for the absence, should be on tomorrow!

“…Change of plans.” Sunglasses removed and tossed into her bag, she knows she must look as drained as she feels—international flights will do that to you, no matter how many times you’ve played the game. “Don’t look so thrilled, Blair, really. It’s too much.” Sarcasm in spades, no less. 

        ❝ I’m just surprised, that’s all. ❞ All air of relaxation has been sucked out, teen entirely tense and uncomfortable as she makes her way down with newfound s m i l e. Curtain is lifted, show must go on, mother is home. ❝ I don’t suppose you’re coming to the Bass brunch today, then ?? ❞

  “ Wow, ya REALLY got me there sweetheart “ he says, feigning hurt. He knew this TYPE of feminine behavior far too well: the princess who thought she OWNED the world simply because she was able to afford the finer things in life. This one REEKED of arrogance and of a perfume that irritated his nose, a side-affect of having such heightened senses. “ I get it; y’rich and I ain’t. But that don’t mean I gotta listen to you SPEW SHIT about my appearance. Did yer mommy ever tell you ta’ be kind to strangers? because I might be an ANGEL in disguise “

        ❝ If God is sending angels down like this, the job isn’t worth it. ❞ As for MOMMY, the absentee  claim only works for voting, not so much for parenting. Even still, it’s almost a comic thought - Eleanor Waldorf at a dive bar in New Orleans with Serena off with some nameless ‘ local ’ or other. Lackluster cosmo is lifted to glossy lips, turning back toward counter in sudden loss of interest. ❝ For your information, I’d call out the hair even if you were the heir to Microsoft.. I don’t discriminate. ❞

@fionagoode didn’t ask for this but is getting it.

         ❝ MOM. ❞ Light touch practically hovers over railing of the stairwell, face full of less than welcoming warmth. Not to say she’s not happy her mother is home, but it was unexpected.  ❝ I thought you wouldn’t be home for another month. ❞

       ❝ OKAY, no. ❞ Trip to Lousyana might be was Serena figured was a good vacation, but Blair had been faced with one too many scraggly men to find any faction within herself to LOOSEN UP.  ❝ Nice face but the rest...Do you bathe in the swamp ?? ❞

          ❝ I know it’s OCTOBER, so people are super into you right now, but I don’t have time for this. ❞ Seating chart is object of temperamental teen’s focus, changing and rearranging depending on that day’s Gossip Girl’s blasts was a full time job.  ❝ Can this happen another time, do you think ?? ❞

        ❝ Naive ingenue is so 1954. ❞ Girls fell harder under Blair’s radar should they happen to be of a  particular cloth. The sickly sweet, the other worldly, the gratingly pretty. All of them got under her skin, she couldn’t help it.  ❝ Try looking a little less lost and actually give a hand. ❞

I portray Blair as Jewish, despite the source material setting her as Christian. Many of the “old money” families in New York are ancestors of German Jewish immigrants and Waldorf is a German last name. Her mother may be Christian, but Blair at least has a family history of Judaism.
