On the last meme he participated in - Canon is What's Your Number

[freelicks]

You know what? I never thought I'd say it, but it's official. I like you.

I can't make any guarantees one way or the other. But as long as you promise not to be too much of a pig (because clearly not being one at all is just out of the question) then I'll see what I can do.

(it's for the best. whether she likes him or not, even she has to admit this particular look works)

[freelicks]

[He smiles, big and earnest.] Well, that I can do. You've got yourself a deal. I don't need a name, I'll remember a pretty face like yours. Unless you want to give it, that is, then by all means.

[He might forget your name tomorrow anyway. Although, for some reason... he does better remembering the names of those he hasn't slept with than those he has. Weird.]

[ambitious]

(Her own is far weaker, a faint quirking of the lips, but it's there nonetheless. It's a lot harder not to like him when he finally seems to be at least somewhat genuine) At this point, you must have an entire mental Rolodex of girls you need to remember. (But oh, what the hell? It's not like she cares if he remembers it or not) It's Quinn.

(Possibly because those are the girls he's still trying to sleep with, and forgetting a girl's name does not generally incite lust? that's her guess, anyway)

[freelicks]

[He laughs.] Something like that.

[He tips his head, then half-bows.] Pleasure to meet you, Quinn. Name's Colin. You know, if you care.

[And it's fine if you don't! But you can have it anyway.]

[ambitious]

(See, he can claim to be a good guy as much as he wants, but it's only when he does something other than hit on her that she can even remotely see it)

(Her smile widening, still tentative but a bit less forced, more at the bow than his introduction, she lowers into a curtsy. Learned from ballet class and a childhood spent envying those damn Disney princesses) Well, it hasn't been completely awful meeting you either. (What? There was totally a compliment in there somewhere)

(His generosity really is a wonder to behold)

[freelicks]

[You'll learn quickly that he's a good guy while also hitting on you. Because while he may hit on you, physical passes are rare, unless you actually offer a hug. Then squeezing your ass is totally legit, for those lucky souls who saw the extended version of the dvd.]

[Aww, see? Now that really is cute.] Well I'm glad to hear that. Completely awful would be bad for my reputation. Marginally awful is still in the okay zone.

[Isn't it though.]

[ambitious]

(Then this must be Quinn's lucky day, because her mun is physically incapable of buying the regular dvd if there's a special edition/extended version out there. just for the record, try that on her and she can't, with any confidence, say she won't hit you. Not hard of course, but still...)

(See? She's not so bad either once she warms up to somebody. It just takes a while) Do you have some kind of feedback chart I can fill out? You know, just for any future improvements you might need to make. Purely to help you grow, of course.

[freelicks]

[Quinn really is lucky, Colin's mun doesn't even have a dvd at all. His life is very sad when his mundane doesn't even have his debut dvd. Also: It would be worth the hit. Always.]

Grow. Right. [He chuckles.] Next time we chat I'll have one ready for you, how 'bout that. I wasn't aware I was going to be surveyed so closely with this particular post, but I'll be prepared next time.

[ambitious]

(Careful there, Colin. You're getting dangerously close to glaring territory once again)

I'm just trying to help. All the future women that you try to sleep with in public places may just thank me for helping to improve your social skills.

[freelicks]

[Nothing new, really, right?]

Aww, look at you, being all considerate to my future one night stands. You've got a heart of gold, I can see it deep down in there, right beneath all the stinging jabs to my self-esteem.

[ambitious]

(Just when you were getting to the edge of that hole, you slide back in)

Hey, the women you trick into your bed (or bathroom, or whatever) deserve to know what they're getting themselves into. I'm just doing my part.

[freelicks]

[It's an art.]

Hey now, there's no 'tricking' involved, honest. They all go completely willing.

[ambitious]

(One he has clearly effected)

Have you ever lied to get someone in bed?

[freelicks]

[What kind of a question is that.]

Nnnnno. Not to get in bed. Getting out is another story entirely.

[ambitious]

(A justified one?)

You realize that isn't any better, right?

[freelicks]

I'm just answering your question truthfully, chika.

[He didn't ask for your judgment, but he's sure you'll give it anyway.]

[ambitious]

(Look at that, he's learning!)

It's still gross. You could always make sure they know that it's not going to go anywhere before you sleep with them. That way they can wake up and do the walk of shame without any added embarassment.

[freelicks]

I could-

[He makes it look like he's thinking about it deeply. He inhales, holds it, then exhales and lets his head roll to one side.]

- but then I could wake up with that unimpressed, disapproving stare behind my eyelids every morning.

[ambitious]

(Of course it's too much to think that she's actually gotten through to him. What are the odds that would ever happen)

And now you can wake up knowing that, whether you see it or not, somewhere it's going to be directed at you.

[freelicks]

[Takes more than one conversation for him to take that to heart. He hasn't even met Ally yet.]

Aren't I special.

[ambitious]

(Quinn always has had issues with timing)

If that's what you want to believe.

[freelicks]

[Someone is going to have to wipe that little knowing grin off your face sometime, sweetheart.]

Maybe it is. You're a peach.

[ambitious]

(If you think you're up for the job, then by all means, but better (and meaner) people than you have tried and it always manages to find its way back)

I've honestly never really understood that saying.

[freelicks]

[He's definitely not mean or malicious, he just has a very set routine that works for him. Altering by force just won't work. That's like telling someone they will be not smoking anymore because you said so.]

Well, peaches are sweet and fuzzy, if you want to go with that description.

[ambitious]

(Then she automatically likes him more than Santana, just by default. She might be Quinn's best friend, but she's also quite possibly the most vicious person in Lima, whether she's provoked or not)

......I'm fuzzy?

(How's that hole going, Colin?)
