✿3 [Action]

*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!)

Have we not already established that there is much you don't see? You must be as dull-witted as you are blind.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about you. After all, the only one dull-witted here is you.

[redstringed]

Do try to keep up with the conversation, difficult though it might be. I am flawless and your superior in every way. Not that this is particularly difficult, mind you.

You haven't a clue as to whom you're speaking in such an insolent manner, do you?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

Obviously, you are so accustomed to lying through your teeth that you're starting to believe what you're saying. I am perfection, while you are just a mere child whose only hope is to aspire to grow half as beautiful as me.

No, I don't, and I can't say I really care to find out.

[redstringed]

Child? A child? If that is what you think, then I have all the proof I need of your myopia.

Willful ignorance is still ignorance, girl.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

I know nothing of you. What else can I base my observations on but your appearance? You talk as if I have age-detector.

[redstringed]

Have you no sense? If all you rely on is your vision, then you do yourself a disservice.

Only one of us here is a child.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I do not care enough to actually gather information about you.

Believe me, I am not a child.

[redstringed]

Then you are dim-witted and unwise.

Are not all things relative? Even the eldest in a village is but an infant to the most aged oak.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

It's not unwise to care nothing about a stranger who keeps insulting me.

You are implying that you're older than me? [She does not sound so surprised. After all, mere infants have been turned in her world.]

[redstringed]

But it is unwise to care to learn nothing about another in this world who might be a potential threat. Or, in your case, an amusement.

Am I? I see no reason to confirm or deny that statement either way.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

The dead cannot be threatened.

I have mentioned that I don't really care, haven't I?

[redstringed]

Oh? I thought I smelled a corpse.

Perhaps, perhaps not. Arrogance and hubris go hand in hand.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[She ignores that jab.] What you smell is stone.

They've never let me down before.

[redstringed]

Is there not a first time for everything?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, but this is not that time.

[redstringed]

We seldom recognize the time when it is upon us.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs.] They will still do no harm to someone who is dead.

[redstringed]

You are remarkably lively for a carcass.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

Ever heard of the term "undead?"

[redstringed]

Certainly. My point stands.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

It doesn't. I'm not a carcass.

[redstringed]

You yourself claim to be dead. Whether you are animated or no, it still renders you naught but a spry corpse.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[Fine, if she wants to get into the semantics of the matter-] A carcass is inanimate. You would be better off calling me a vampire, which is the proper term, really.

[redstringed]

*A flat look.* ...really.
