✿3 [Action]

[redstringed]

*It's late dusk, and there is a certain young-looking gothic lolita sitting at a table outside of Building 6, slowly sipping a cup of tea and flipping through a book.

If you pass by, you may get the very distinct sense that she is horribly judging you.*

(ooc: Geez, lots of people! And they probably all hate Rachel now. I'm going to bed, will resume tagging tomorrow!)

[He'll see your scathing glare of judgment and raise you a distinctly unflappable air of confidence. The kind where even if you proved it mathematically impossible for him to be half as awesome as he acts like he is, he'd still disagree. And maybe even be right. Have a flirtatious smile and a wink too. Yeah she looks younger than he claims to like's em- but that's not gonna stop him with messing with someone with that sort of look on their face.]

[redstringed]

*Your flirtatious smile, Michel? Is met by this.*

Enjoying the evening~?

[redstringed]

I had been.

[He seats himself at a nearby table, kicking his feet up onto it as he lets out a sigh of relief.]

A young girl such as yourself should cheer up, you know. You'll ruin your pretty face before it ever has a chance to mature.

[redstringed]

I very much doubt that.

And it would be easier without having to spurn mangy dogs with my heel every few steps.

[sapphire-sniper.livejournal.com]

Not exactly a positive thinker, are you? You'd be surprised how much more pleasant interactions with people are when you're not looking down your nose at them.

[redstringed]

A lady of my stature has no business fraternizing with rabble, no matter what you might say.

[sapphire-sniper.livejournal.com]

That's all well and good, but how certain are you of the weight your... stature [Yes, he went there.] has here? At least as far as the ones orchestrating this little experiment are concerned, I doubt our differences mean much more than a few notes on our record.

[redstringed]

*Yes, she sees what you did there, Michel, and she does not like it.* If our would-be deities will not recognize my house, then I have all the more reason to do so myself in order to honor its name.

[sapphire-sniper.livejournal.com]

I suppose you have a point.

[He pauses, looking thoughtful for a moment]

Maybe you could help me figure something out though. Exactly when did a concept like "honor" stop implying integrity and fairness, and start demanding you refuse those courtesies to those below your station?

[God he loves trolling people with over-inflated egos. After all, he's the only one allowed to have one.]

[redstringed]

When did I ever give the impression that I was honoring those below me? I honor my family name by not bending to the foolish fancies of low-life scum.

[sapphire-sniper.livejournal.com]

That's exactly what I'm confused about. When did it become a noble act to mistreat or ignore others~?

[redstringed]

Would you step on a cockroach, or swat a troublesome fly?

This is no different.

[sapphire-sniper.livejournal.com]

Well, at least you're modest~

[redstringed]

Of course I am~ And I doubt you would suggest otherwise.

[sapphire-sniper.livejournal.com]

I couldn't imagine it. I have to assume something positive came of your privileged upbringing.

[redstringed]

"Something" indeed.

You're the type who likes to believe he has a quick tongue, aren't you?

[sapphire-sniper.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, that's not the type of smile one usually gives a girl that -looks- as old as Rachel.]

I've had a few... people tell me as much too, at least.

[redstringed]

*Pervert! Lolicon!* Then perhaps you ought to consider their words.

[sapphire-sniper.livejournal.com]

Most of them seemed to agree I have quite a skillful tongue. The ones who say otherwise about my wit usually just find the truth stings a bit too much for their liking~

The Princess always seemed to be at the head of that camp.

[redstringed]

I suppose it is sharp enough for someone who hasn't ever encountered better.

[sapphire-sniper.livejournal.com]

Considering I've yet to hear of better on Frontier or here...
