LIVE

[neigh_sayer]

Who: C and whoever
Where: The lobby/dining room/kitchen
When: Day 36, Early Morning

[GOOOOOOOD MORNING PEOPLE are you coming down for breakfast? Morning exercises? Getting some fresh air?

Well have fun slipping on the ridiculous amounts of ice and water covering the floor. Who's letting the ice machine just continue to run? It's C, that's who.

He's put like, a few pillows here and there so maybe you won't fall on your ass on the hard floor, maybe. C himself is lounging in the kitchen on a chair, idly playing on his phone next to the freezer until he feels like the Live has gone on long enough.]

[Maki looks at him on the floor for several long seconds as a flashback plays in her mind]

...Oh no, are you alright?

[her voice does not actually sound concerned, and in fact she may be smiling a little]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[AlcheMe's prediction powers are truly terrifying

CHOOSING TO STAY ON THE GROUND]

Don't mock me.

[rollplayinghouse]

Fine, I won't.

[so she doesn't say anything else.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He'll show her!!! Stands up---


Nope.

Falling again]

[rollplayinghouse]

[On the bright side Maki's subdued personality means she's not actually laughing at him.

On the other hand, her silence and her expression probably says enough anyway.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Fine.

[Holds out his hand]

[rollplayinghouse]

[She takes his hand firmly.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[AND HE TRIES TO DRAG HER DOWN WITH HIM]

[rollplayinghouse]

[Once she realizes what's happening she tries to brace herself, but she is a little late, and her feet slide out from under her.]

Wha—?!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Well she can try to land on him or the ice/water mess that is the floor.

Her choice really]

[rollplayinghouse]

[How about half and half. She twists as she slips and knocks against him even as she half-soaks herself in ice water.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh no. Are you alright?

[rollplayinghouse]

[releases his hand to punch him in the arm]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just laughing as he sits up after taking the punch, ice water dripping everywhere]

Rude. You're forgetting how delicate I am again.

[rollplayinghouse]

I think you can take that much.

[She also sits up in the water.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Reaches over to place his ice-cold fingertips against her neck]

I'm cold. Warm me up.

[rollplayinghouse]

[She flushes a little, but then she grabs his wrist and pulls his hand away]

...Actually, there's something I wanted to talk to you about.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[. . .?]

What?

[rollplayinghouse]

...

[it takes her a moment]

Boss, A and I are going to be exclusive for a while.

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Ah.

Pulls his hand out of her grip completely, expression going blank until:]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So you're forfeiting. That means I win by default.

[rollplayinghouse]

[well. she expected him to be mad at her pulling out of the game. probably she should have expected him to declare it his victory too]

I'm not forfeiting. It's just... on hold.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Didn’t I just tell you that I don’t like having to move at another person’s pace? I don’t wait for people. Either keep up or get left behind.

[rollplayinghouse]

...What exactly does getting left behind mean, in this scenario? It sounds more like you're worried about being left behind.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Wait. What now? What did you just say?!]

Funny. That would require me to be invested in you all in the first place!
