[misstactless]

Okay, so...what's the deal? You deliberately miss the deadline and expect me to want to cooperate?

Right, I get it. I want you to do me justice too, because there's nothing worse than a blasé Cordy. I might be just too much for you to handle!

But we really need to talk about reconsidering the destination. I mean, really? I grow up on the hellmouth and you want to send me to some twisted half-inbred cousin? I'm not really aiming to be a glutton for punishment and I don't think I'm asking too much here, either. Running water? Central heating? Clothes from this century?

Also, my paid's run out. You might wanna do something about that sooner rather than later.

It seems you're not the only one who missed it.

[misstactless]

I'm a fan of fashionably late, but not showing up at all kind of ruins the point of being invited to a party.

[hybridize]

[How very trivial, but he'll play. You look tasty.]

So this is a party now? Hmm. Guess my invite was lost altogether.

[misstactless]

Probably intentional.

[ She shrugs and offers a sympathetic look. ]

Don't worry, not being on the torture list is usually a good thing.




Man, these icons suck.

[hybridize]

Unless of course if you're on the giving end. [Or damn near invisible. Have a toothy grin.]

Mine are rather limited, but there doesn't seem to be all that many. Or at least my mundane says I don't express much. [Aside from evil glee or being pissed off at being foiled.]

--Which I take offense to. I can smile. See?

[Nope. Evil grin icon.]

[misstactless]

So...

[ Give her a minute to look him up and down then raise a brow. ]

Your range is basically creepy leer and creepier leer?

[hybridize]

Oh, I'm capable of so much more.

[misstactless]

You know, I hear that all the time.

[hybridize]

A girl like you? I'm not surprised. But I don't need validation in it. I know what I am, what I've done.

[putuporshutup]

Ha. Consider yourself lucky. Missing the deadline is better than being thrown into it when they don't even actually have time for you.

[misstactless]

Thaaaaaat's...not going to happen to me. I'm an all or nothing kind of girl. Full commitment or go home.

[putuporshutup]

Keep telling yourself that, gorgeous.

[misstactless]

Well, yeah. It's the truth.

[putuporshutup]

Ah, you're one of those, aren't you? Gotta be number one all the time? Center of attention?

[misstactless]

Got to be? Not really. It just kind of happens.

[ She's a natural, okay. ]

It's like the natural order of things.

[putuporshutup]

I getcha. I prefer to lay low. Can't for the life of me figure out why I keep getting dragged into things like risking my own ass to save other people. It's getting ridiculous.

[misstactless]

Hey, saving people is a pretty important job.

[clawstrophobic]

There's worse places you could end up. If you keep your head down and fight with the right people, you'll... survive.

[But he's not so sure about this girl. He does know he smirked a bit at 'half-inbred cousin' so that's something. A good sense of humor's a valuable trait.]

[misstactless]

In my experience keeping your head down doesn't do much. And as far as I can see the right people aren't even there.

[ Which clearly means her crew. ]

[clawstrophobic]

The right people are people you can trust.

[People who do the right thing. That used to be more variable for Isaac, but he's learning to veer on the side of the less-morally-ambiguous.]

And there's some there.

[misstactless]

Am I supposed to assume that one of those people is you?

[clawstrophobic]

Uh-- yeah. I wouldn't hurt you.

[Intentionally.

On days that aren't the full moon.

Unless she hurt him first.

Um.

Anyway, he was talking about his bros, but sure. Isaac could help her out.]

[misstactless]

And how do I know you're not just a closet creep?

[ It's a fair question. ]

[clawstrophobic]

I don't know. What does your gut say?

[misstactless]

...

[ Give her a good long moment to stare him down. However awkward that makes him, well...not her problem, right? ]

The shoes say creep and the shirt says cheap, but mostly harmless.
