[The video switches back to reality with Waver looking pale and a little sick. He immediately cuts off the D-Terminal as Palmon can be heard asking him if he's going to faint.]

[ She doesn't miss the connection and grins slowly before raising both hands in surrender, winking one brilliant green eye. ]

Angry embarrassment is better than sad nostalgia, ain't it? [ She asks slyly. Always pissing people off for the greater good. ]

Waver is still a sexy name, so I'll concede and call you Wa~ver. I'm Roze. Like the flower. Red roses and red velvet cake. Sounds like destiny. [ Brow waggle. Just ignore the flat-eyed jelly Kotemon. ]

[FROWNING. i am sorry roze his one love is academics]

Is that supposed to be cute?

[fullofthorns]

Only if you want it to be. I just say what I'm thinking when I think it. If a person can't be honest, any other qualities they have are overshadowed, regardless of how good they may be at something. Gets me in trouble all the time, but you learn a lot about people pretty fast.

Dishonest people tend to get scared when faced with someone that ain't afraid to just throw their heart out there. I ain't confessin' love, pumpkin. Just statin' my amusement and doin' my usual of makin' myself a target to distract from the bigger picture.

*sniff*

Important part is you don't look like a sheet anymore. You can hate me all day, but I feel better for you now.

[velveteenmage]

[Even though he kept right on looking disapproving, Waver had to admit that was a pretty good way of looking at things.]

...Thanks, I guess.

[fullofthorns]

Nah, no worries, kid. Its my natural manner. Instantly irritating. I leave a long-standing impression. Chances are good, before you know it, you'll be head-over-heels in love. I'm simply irresistible. [ Blowin' kiss man, blowin' kisses. ]

I grow on people. I'm like a cordyceps. All up in your head, and before you know it, you're a sla~ve to my charms. Except my love is usually non-lethal. So maybe not so much like a cordyceps. Oxytocin then? Hm...too subtle.

[ Guess who paid attention in school! Though academics is not her one love. That'd be fighting. Then flirting. With food and booze being a close third.]

[velveteenmage]

Somehow I seriously doubt you're all that dangerous to me in that respect. And if I were you, I wouldn't leap to make horrible viral comparisons to myself.

[fullofthorns]

I could have made a real mess of things and said Syphilis. [ But you just did Roze... ]

And honestly, you're probably right. I don't have a type, per se, and while I like a feisty guy, secondary prerequisite is that you can beat me in a fight. You're absolutely a delight to look at, and you're definitely feisty, but I'm willing to bet in a knock-out, drag-out fight, I win.

No offense to you, its just what I do.

[velveteenmage]

[Waver sighed, exasperated.]

Even if I could win against you, I'm not really interested.

[fullofthorns]

What, in fighting? Or me? Don't go out of your way to wound this fragile heart, kid. Its not nice. I'm just another teenage girl lookin' for love in all the wrong places.

Girls just wanna have fu~n. [ Name that tune, Velvet Cake. ]

[velveteenmage]

Both, for your information.

[why do women cause him nothing but trouble here...]

[fullofthorns]

Oh, man Velvet Cake. You can be pretty cold... *puppy eyes* ...I know I don't come from a noble family and I'm just another girl to you, but I thought we really had something! How could you forsake our love?

[velveteenmage]

...Can we not talk about noble families and all that, please. [Magi had Things about nobility.] And it's Waver.

[fullofthorns]

[ She arches a brow, regarding him thoughtfully before nodding once. ]

I'll stop talking about that, but Velvet Cake stays. You can't fight it, man. I'm willing to bet my sword you'd be the best dessert I've ever had.

Aside from that, look at me. Right here. Stop with the shifty eyes and look right here. *taptap*

Give me a smile and I might consider dropping the nickname. Promise. No fingers crossed.

[velveteenmage]

Wh--do you think I'm a little kid or something?! I'm not just going to smile on command or anything like that!

[fullofthorns]

[ There's that toothy grin, fierce and shark-like. ]

Sorry. [ No she's not. ] I just like that little thrill and shiver I get when you snap like that. [ That's honest, though. ] One of these days you're gonna be some sexy, super-authoritative guy in a ridiculously expensive suit. I'm totally jealous of whatever chick or dude you end up with.

[velveteenmage]

[roze you have noooooo idea]

I'm not interested in that kind of thing at all! And it's nobody's business even if I was!

[fullofthorns]

Into what kind of thing? [ Innocent face. Come on Waver. Deets. CLEARLY you're too young and innocent to kn~ow. ]

[velveteenmage]

...You're having fun with this, aren't you?

[fullofthorns]

[ Lazy smile and shrug. ]

I am all but transparent to you.

[ She scratches the side of her nose. ]

You seem like the bookish type. Should I try a little harder?

[velveteenmage]

I'd rather you didn't try at all, please.

[fullofthorns]

Come on, bear with me. Give me a chance. *playful pout*

It just has to be a little more high brow. Right?

Knock Knock.

[ She's serious, Velvet Cake. ]

[velveteenmage]

[do you hear the long-suffering anguish in this sigh do you]

Who's there?

[fullofthorns]

[ Hey, could be worse. Could be making impassioned cries loud enough to get his roomies' attention. ]

To.

[velveteenmage]

[>:T]

To who?

[fullofthorns]

To whom.

[ 8D CLEVER RIGHT OMG? ]
