we will play it very cool

[reflectivedawn.livejournal.com]

On which one of us looks better? Sure you want to embarrass yourself like that?

[population-ctrl.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.]

Reverse what?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

but there's a lot

didn't give you anything either

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

and lots of teeth

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

we hope you enjoy yourself

[population-ctrl.livejournal.com]

Fine.

[Staying silent. Just looking at you, eyes narrowed.]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

I don't think I have anything to be embarrassed about. [Oh Gaia, did he just hairflip? Yes, he did. He's never living this week down.] What about you?

[knight_to_king]

I took care of magical creatures for two years. Reckon I can do it.

[reflectivedawn.livejournal.com]

Considering the fact that you just flipped your hair at me, I'd say you already have more than enough to be embarrassed.

[population-ctrl.livejournal.com]

Oh? Then give me another clue.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

I think I can manage that.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

[Yes, but not until midnight next Saturday.] I'm expressing myself, and you're changing the subject. Come on, 'ku. If nothing else, it could be amusing.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

what chirps like a bird

[reflectivedawn.livejournal.com]

[Oh, motherfucker you did not.]

It's Riku. Not 'ku. Not Ri. Riku.

Say it with me, R-I-K-U. Riku.

[population-ctrl.livejournal.com]

... never mind. If it's hard to spot, it's probably some form of mind altering. [The most resigned smile.] You are too fond of that.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

[He's rolling his eyes at you, little brother. You overreact to oranges, you overreact to nicknames, what's next?]

Ri~ku~ [Those are tildes of humoring you.] I don't care if you call me Seph.

[reflectivedawn.livejournal.com]

Fine, Seph. I happen to care if you call me 'ku. So don't do it. Ever. Again.

Got it?

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

Fine. [Small sulky huff.] There's no need to get so worked up about it.

[expunger]

Do I even want to know what you did to us?

[haspaceteeth.livejournal.com]

Reverse? Oh no, I hate to be too.. mm.. picky, but...

It seems more like up is down and down is up. Everything always changes, now doesn't it?

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

What makes you think the 'other direction' will be less boring?

[nomorefeathers.livejournal.com]

[Very, very cautiously]

You are the lords of this place?

[And yes, she is rummaging through her bag, just off camera, looking for her knife]
