WillScarlett> I started fighting when I was a kid. Mostly fist fighting, since where we lived, commoners weren't allowed swords.
Hannah> Fighting? Like, other kids?
* Altalita ARRIVES. And it's Yuukolita! Oh lawd, y'all are in for it now. TODAY, she is wearing a kimono with butterfly designs~
WillScarlett> Sometimes other kids. Mostly Robyn.
* @`Merisiel glances over at Alta.
* Altalita (Which is tame. Except for, well. Cleavage)
WillScarlett> I didn't start learning swords until I was... *is highly highly distracted*
* Hannah looks over, too. Ooh, pretty kimono. "...you were?"
* WillScarlett is quite possibly drooling.
* @`Merisiel 's right hand also goes reflexively to run across the sheath of the rapier at her back.
* Altalita blinks at Merisiel's response to her arrival.
* Hannah rolls her eyes.
WillScarlett> Huh?
Hannah> Nothing.
Altalita> Now, now. Sweet. You wouldn't strike an unarmed woman with those blades, would you?
* Altalita's copious bosom does not count as an armement.
@`Merisiel> What?
* @`Merisiel 's thing with the rapier there wasn't in response to Alta at all, actually.
WillScarlett> She's unarmed. Put those away.
* Altalita shrugs
Altalita> Misinterpreted ^_^
* Hannah drinks her hot chocolate.
* Altalita claims a seat nearby, settling in it like, well, she fucking owns the place, to be utterly honest. A prinny waiter--with a disturbing speed and reaction time, brings her her drink. Before she orders. Must be a regular!
* Hannah is not impressed at all. B|
* WillScarlett goes over to her, takes her hand and kisses it. "May I have the pleasure of your name, milady?"
* @`Merisiel didn't draw weapons or anything.
* Altalita cares not for your not-impressions! Oh hoh, hello there.
Altalita> Hello there, dear. ♥ Altalita Bastion~
WillScarlett> Charmed. William Scarlett, of Sherwood, Arcadia.
* Altalita ... eyebrow, "That wouldn't happen to be next to, say..."
Altalita> A forest of similar name?
WillScarlett> There is a Sherwood Forest. I live in it at the moment.
* Altalita knows who you are, dear boy. Whether this is good or bad, is yet to say
* Hannah glares at Altalita, though she hides it very well. She's versed in this.
WillScarlett> Can I buy you a drink? The mead is quite good. *yoinks his half empty mug from the table he'd been sitting at with Hannah and grabs a seat near Alta.
Altalita> Although abandoning your date for me is just a might bit rude. *Beeps his nose. She's nice and NOT nice at the same time. She has skillz, baby.*
* Hannah facepalms.
* @`Merisiel looks over at Hannah with a 'pfah, boys' expression.
* WillScarlett takes the nosebeep in good grace, looking shamefaced at his mug. "Not technically a date, Lady. Merely a good friend."
Altalita> Still, just a taaaaad rude, dear. ^_^ It would've been smarter, perhaps, to invite me to the table.
* Hannah 's face falls, but only for a second. Altalita and Merisiel might have seen, but surely Will didn't. She just drinks her milk.
* Altalita Sees All. Including You. And What You Did Thar.
* Altalitais Ceiling Ylita. WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW? Why, oh why, is that still funny?
WillScarlett> I couldn't possibly do justice to Hannah with you around. I think she'll understand. *totally lying*
* @Merisiel 's weird forehead-gem has a minor bit of protective magic, incidentally.
Altalita> Mmm, really?
* Altalita leaaans over to make eye contact with Hannah, "And do you understand, sweet?"
* Hannah still says nothing. She glares at Will and drinks, again hiding the look well.
WillScarlett> Would I lie to someone of your beauty? *Yes, yes he would*
Hannah> ...yeah, I think I do.
Altalita> Mmmm.
* @Merisiel sips at her ale and half-watches Hannah.
* Hannah 's voice is ice cold.
Altalita> Are you sure she understands, dear William? She sure doesn't sound happy with this development. ^_^
* WillScarlett winces, almost imperceptibly. "We're merely friends. She may have misunderstood my intentions."
* Altalita is, as stated, not a nice person. And while she appreciates the attention.... Well.To put it simply, it's only one of them giving her that sort of attention, if it was both, she'd be more encouraging. But abandoning her like that, well... B|
* @Merisiel looks between Hannah and Will, fidgeting on her seat a little.
* Hannah finishes up her drink quickly, not paying any attention to burning her throat. "Really? What was all that on the couch, putting your arm around--actually, you know what? Never mind." She's not in the mood for any of this. She has too much going on, as can be seen by the writing on her arm (New Hannah Code of Conduct: DO NOT MESS WITH THE GENERAL), on top of accidentally murdering a classmate back home.
* Altalita eyebrow, my, she wasn't expecting that, now was she?OR WAS SHE?
WillScarlett> Can you blame me for wanting to comfort someone I look to as a younger sister?
Hannah> No, I guess I can't. *She pauses.* You know, I have brothers. Two of them. Sometimes it can get pretty violent between siblings, you know?
* Altalita leaaaaans back in her seat, now, watching this.
WillScarlett> I know. I have an older sister. She's the one who taught me to fight. But she also was the one who beat up whoever was bothering me when I was too weak to defend myself.
WillScarlett> So there's violence, yes. But also protection and love.
Hannah> That's cute.
* @Merisiel is sitting on the edge of her stool, thinking about moving closer to Hannah.
* @Merisiel finally decides, and shifts a few seats over in Hannah's direction, bringing her ale and meat pie along.
WillScarlett> So you see, it's nothing against you as a person.
* Altalita continues to watch this all play out.
WillScarlett> And I'm still happy to pay for your hot chocolate.
Hannah> That's good. I have no cash on me. So since you're finished with me *she says as she puts her empty glass on the table in front of him* why don't you just go ahead and pay? I won't be getting anything else.
WillScarlett> *examines the glass, then puts it down* Did I say we were finished? I told you, you're like a younger sister. We were never anything in the first place.
Hannah> That's not what I mean; don't flatter yourself. *She turns around and sits back down at her own table, facing Merisiel.*
WillScarlett> *to Alta* Y'see, that's the problem with children. They assume things and then lie about it later.
* Hannah turns around in her seat. "Do not call me a child."
Altalita> Which is precisely a lot of problems men have, too.
* @Merisiel smiles just a little at Hannah, and then in Will's direction- "If she w's like your younger sister, you wouldn't leave'r for somebody else."
* Altalita sweetly, "Isn't that just telling?" ^__^
WillScarlett> I'm not leaving her. It's not my fault if she thought I liked her romantically. *to Alta* I have never, in my life, lied to someone I cared about.
* Altalita snorks into her drink and just LAUGHS
WillScarlett> ... You wound me.
* Hannah turns away and decides to ignore Will. FOREVER.
* Altalita apparently wounds him deep, because she's laughing pretty damn hard.
@Merisiel> There musn't be many y'care about.
Altalita> Ohgod
* WillScarlett makes sad puppy eyes. He's much better at that than he is at glaring.
Altalita> ican'tbreathe
Altalita> Ohgod.
* Hannah begins to laugh, too, despite herself.
WillScarlett> Quite the opposite. I care for many people.
* Altalita ..just loses it again.
* WillScarlett has some more mead. "What's so funny?"
@Merisiel> You.
* Altalita is still giggling, you need to give her a minute.
* Hannah snorts while laughing, glad she's done her drink.
* WillScarlett waits patiently for them to stop, looking as wounded and innocent as he can.
* Hannah calms herself down.
Altalita> Oh god..
Merisiel> That look isn't helping you.
Altalita> I don't think I've laughed that hard in a while
WillScarlett> May I ask why?
Altalita> People always lie to those they care about.
Altalita> Whether to protect them, or whatever.
Altalita> And!
Altalita> You've lied to me several times tonight. *Oh SHI--*
WillScarlett> When did I lie to you.
* WillScarlett says this as a challenge, not a question.
Altalita> 'Would you lie to someone of my beauty', as well as our dear friend's understanding *Gestures to Hannah* ^_^
Altalita> When I know your type. You'd lie your nose off just to get into my pants. ♥
Altalita> ..Or lack thereof, as the case may be, since I'm wearing a Kimono tonight.
* @Merisiel murmurs, "Ki-mono..."
WillScarlett> I fail to see how you could see these as lies.
* Hannah just sits there, holding her head in her hands. It's really pounding now.
* Altalita is not the chick you want to play in poker. She'll have you broke and stripped in three hands.
* WillScarlett is busted and he knows it. He's just carrying on out of habit.
Altalita> Takes a liar to know one, sweet. ^__^
* @Merisiel looks over at Hannah half-concernedly.
WillScarlett> How do I know that you're not lying about me lying? *sly grin*
* Hannah doesn't really look up. She rubs her eyes. "ugh..."
@Merisiel> Y'all right?
Altalita> Oh, don't play the recursive loop game with me. ^_^ You're caught, and you know it.
WillScarlett> You admit that you're a liar. And insist that I am one as well. There's a major hole in your story.
Altalita> Oh, really?
Hannah> No, I'm not. Everything's falling apart.
WillScarlett> I have not admitted to being a liar. This gives me at least some semblance of credibility.
* @Merisiel frowns a little at what Hannah said.
Hannah> Here, in the Nexus, everything's going to pieces, and back home, too. I killed someone, I think the police are on my trail, the gang of the vampires I slayed is coming after me...
Altalita> Ah, but that's the thing about liars, you always /expect/ them to lie. ^_^ When you've got people claiming to have credibility, you lose, sweet. Now shoo. *Makes shooing motions with both hands* Go find some little serving bimbo to charm the pants off of, I'm out of your league, sport, and ballpark, sweet.
* WillScarlett scowls and glances over at Hannah.
* @Merisiel takes no shock at any of it, except the word 'police' (she's not entirely sure what it means.).
* @Merisiel 's eyebrows furrow a bit.
Hannah> Then yesterday some psycho shoots me with tranquilizers, writes on me and dumps me in a room. Everyone hates me because I lost control and said something stupid this one time, and there's nothing I can do.
* WillScarlett downs the rest of his mead and goes over to Hannah and Merisiel. "I could fight them for you if you like."
Altalita> Oh, the big brave man.
* Hannah scoffs. "There's nothing you could do. You'd die."
@Merisiel> Tranqui... *no idea what that word means, either*
WillScarlett> How do you know I wouldn't come back?
* Altalita for Merisiel, "Knock-out darts."
Altalita> How do you know you would?
Hannah> I don't. But you'd just die again.
Altalita> Death has a nasty tendency of being permanent.
WillScarlett> Not where I'm from. Lots of people die more than once.1
Altalita> 'Lots of people', you say.
@Merisiel> Knock-out... oh, poison.
WillScarlett> My mother, for one. The local Sheriff, for another.
@Merisiel> The only way to get rid of hate is to become better'n the people using it.
* @Merisiel actually means this in a very pointy-stabby-things sense, but she might be misinterpreted!
Altalita> Or start nasty rumors about them.
Altalita> That's always fun.
Hannah> And how do I do that? I don't really have any reason to hate them. Except the guy who did this to me, and the people who watched and did nothing.
* Altalita is obviously kidding, to note
WillScarlett> I didn't do nothing...
@Merisiel> I didn't say you have to hate them.
Altalita> She's not talking about you, you knucklehead. *flicks Will's forehead*
WillScarlett> She's making generalizations.
Hannah> No, I'm not. *To Mariseil:* Oh. Well then what should I do?
@Merisiel> Well, 've killed plenty've people I never hated...
Hannah> ...you think I should kill them?
Altalita> That's just a tad extreme there.
Hannah> No kidding.
* @Merisiel shrugs. She obviously doesn't think it is.
* Altalita is, like, totally against killing, and stuff. Because, like, it totally weighs down the soul. For sure.2
WillScarlett> Especially since I doubt that they'll come back.
Hannah> No, I won't. I don't kill people. I only kill monsters.
@Merisiel> So what's a 'monster'?
* @Merisiel 's expression has instantly shifted into kind of an open-lipped frown. (That may have hit a bit close to home.)
Hannah> Soulless things that do evil stuff. Like vampires and demons.
@Merisiel> How d'you know they're soulless?
* @Merisiel is still frowning.
Hannah> I don't know. They just are. I can sense it, kinda. I don't know how it works.
* Altalita .. is probably one hell of a bizarre ping, all things considered. ( http://im2sexy4mysnark.livejournal.com/profile/ )
* @Merisiel 's frown intensifies.
@Merisiel> Y'sound like the priest who just -knew- I was'n abomimation. *yes, she pronounced that wrong*
* Hannah is getting pings, but she gets pings from most people in the Nexus. Her ability's extended from just soulless monsters to sensing the supernatural in general. "Um, no, because I don't believe in a god."
WillScarlett> .. I wouldn't have thought.
Altalita> Yes, because clearly you think with the brighter of the two heads.
@Merisiel> S'not a god, it's assumin' y'can judge people.
WillScarlett> Gods, I meant. I don't think I've ever met someone who didn't believe in the gods.
Hannah> I don't assume I can judge people. I don't even judge people. I was chosen to kill monsters, it;s not something I just up and decided to do one day.
@Merisiel> What if you're wrong and one of the monsters is a person?
Hannah> That's not really possible.
@Merisiel> How do you know?
Hannah> Well, other than were-things, I don't know how I could make that mistake. Demons and vampires are totally distinguishable from people.
@Merisiel> If all y'think about is "killing monsters", eventu'ly you'll decide other things are, too. *hmph*
@Merisiel> I kill people, but they're people. Even the funny-looking ones.
Hannah> My job description is pretty clear. Only vampires, demons and the forces of darkness.
* @Merisiel hmphs and sulks.
* Altalita slips out, as her mun is totally crashing out.
Footnotes:
Because some things don't make sense without them, or aren't as funny without the OOC references.
1. In the play that our dear Will hails from, multiple deaths are apparently common. From his mun, in OOC:
WillScarlett> I'm basing it on the script for Faire, actually. Arcadia, in the Mayfaire sense, is somewhere between the land of fae and the land of dreams.
@Merisiel> ooh. :o
* Altalita nods
Altalita> Ylita is probably aware of this, but is taking pretty much any opportunity to snipe at him.
* WillScarlett nods.
2. i think i killed brain cells typing that.
That was fun, I don't get enough of a chance for her to be mean as hell like that.
Hannah> Fighting? Like, other kids?
* Altalita ARRIVES. And it's Yuukolita! Oh lawd, y'all are in for it now. TODAY, she is wearing a kimono with butterfly designs~
WillScarlett> Sometimes other kids. Mostly Robyn.
* @`Merisiel glances over at Alta.
* Altalita (Which is tame. Except for, well. Cleavage)
WillScarlett> I didn't start learning swords until I was... *is highly highly distracted*
* Hannah looks over, too. Ooh, pretty kimono. "...you were?"
* WillScarlett is quite possibly drooling.
* @`Merisiel 's right hand also goes reflexively to run across the sheath of the rapier at her back.
* Altalita blinks at Merisiel's response to her arrival.
* Hannah rolls her eyes.
WillScarlett> Huh?
Hannah> Nothing.
Altalita> Now, now. Sweet. You wouldn't strike an unarmed woman with those blades, would you?
* Altalita
@`Merisiel> What?
* @`Merisiel 's thing with the rapier there wasn't in response to Alta at all, actually.
WillScarlett> She's unarmed. Put those away.
* Altalita shrugs
Altalita> Misinterpreted ^_^
* Hannah drinks her hot chocolate.
* Altalita claims a seat nearby, settling in it like, well, she fucking owns the place, to be utterly honest. A prinny waiter--with a disturbing speed and reaction time, brings her her drink. Before she orders. Must be a regular!
* Hannah is not impressed at all. B|
* WillScarlett goes over to her, takes her hand and kisses it. "May I have the pleasure of your name, milady?"
* @`Merisiel didn't draw weapons or anything.
* Altalita cares not for your not-impressions! Oh hoh, hello there.
Altalita> Hello there, dear. ♥ Altalita Bastion~

* WillScarlett takes the nosebeep in good grace, looking shamefaced at his mug. "Not technically a date, Lady. Merely a good friend."
Altalita> Still, just a taaaaad rude, dear. ^_^ It would've been smarter, perhaps, to invite me to the table.
* Hannah 's face falls, but only for a second. Altalita and Merisiel might have seen, but surely Will didn't. She just drinks her milk.

WillScarlett> Gods, I meant. I don't think I've ever met someone who didn't believe in the gods.
Hannah> I don't assume I can judge people. I don't even judge people. I was chosen to kill monsters, it;s not something I just up and decided to do one day.
@Merisiel> What if you're wrong and one of the monsters is a person?
Hannah> That's not really possible.
@Merisiel> How do you know?
Hannah> Well, other than were-things, I don't know how I could make that mistake. Demons and vampires are totally distinguishable from people.
@Merisiel> If all y'think about is "killing monsters", eventu'ly you'll decide other things are, too. *hmph*
@Merisiel> I kill people, but they're people. Even the funny-looking ones.
Hannah> My job description is pretty clear. Only vampires, demons and the forces of darkness.
* @Merisiel hmphs and sulks.
* Altalita slips out, as her mun is totally crashing out.
Footnotes:
Because some things don't make sense without them, or aren't as funny without the OOC references.
1. In the play that our dear Will hails from, multiple deaths are apparently common. From his mun, in OOC:
WillScarlett> I'm basing it on the script for Faire, actually. Arcadia, in the Mayfaire sense, is somewhere between the land of fae and the land of dreams.
@Merisiel> ooh. :o
* Altalita nods
Altalita> Ylita is probably aware of this, but is taking pretty much any opportunity to snipe at him.
* WillScarlett nods.
2. i think i killed brain cells typing that.
That was fun, I don't get enough of a chance for her to be mean as hell like that.
