on looking for certain castmates @ sirenspull

[madannoshashu]

Pining again, are we?

I come on here, ramble vaguely about how nice it would be to have the "old guard" together again, and you sit there, all a-quiver, with anticipation -- you know it doesn't really work like that, right?

Numbers III, IV, V, and VI -- you'd have better luck pulling an ingrown toenail then getting us all together.

I do have to hand it to ya, though, kiddo: it is a very nice thought.

[xaldin]

"Nice."

[madannoshashu]

Warm, fuzzy, and delightfully sacchine?

You know how it goes!

[xaldin]

Absolutely.

Therefore, I must decline the invitation.

[madannoshashu]

You're breaking her heart here, dude.

[ Not his, obviously. ]

Have you no sense of decency?

[xaldin]

I'd hope you wouldn't mistake me for someone that cares to mend another's delicately.

Especially when they beg.

[pullsheavendown]

Oh, yeah. It'd be real fun.

[madannoshashu]

Why so blue, kiddo?

You'd barely even notice us.

[pullsheavendown]

I wouldn't if you'd stop trolling me.

[madannoshashu]

Them's fightin' words, kiddo.

I did say 'barely'.

[pullsheavendown]

Barely is still too much.

[the_earths_salt]

Tone notwithstanding, it's rather kind of you to indulge her like this. People do learn best from their own mistakes, after all.

[madannoshashu]

[ ...oh, Lexaeus. 'Kind' isn't something Xigbar does. He'll let it slide, though.

A shrug. ]

Eh, it's been a while.

If she wants to make a fool of herself, it's no skin off my nose.

How's things?

[the_earths_salt]

[Oh, he knows. Doesn't mean he can't think it's fitting that Xigbar obliges her by being snarky about it, though.]

I can certainly imagine..... I'm doing well, as far as my circumstances typically go--very little has changed. And yourself?

[madannoshashu]

Oh, you know. Just play referee for the rest of the kids.

[ So put it lightly. ]

It's been busier than usual.

[the_earths_salt]

I'll admit, I've never considered you in the role of referee, much less willingly.....

[All the eyebrow raising, such an attentive look. Whatever this story is, it's got to be good.]

I'm all ears.

[wefallinsilence]

[Well, Ienzo's no sixth - not yet - but he can't help but be curious all the same. He's not going actually speak up to address any point made thus far though. It's not like he knows much about the 'old guard' in question.]

[madannoshashu]

[ Well, well. That's a face he hasn't seen in a while.

He leans over a bit and smiles. ]

Lookin' for someone, little boy blue?

[wefallinsilence]

[There's a slight moment of silence, and then the shakes his head. Looking, yes, but not so much looking for. He's rarely looking for anything in particular when he sets to wandering. What he finds is just as interesting as how he gets to wherever is.]

[madannoshashu]

[ Ah, yes. Still in that rather ponderous stage of existence, little Ienzo. ]

Seeing what the eyes can see, eh?

Notice anything interesting?

[illicitresearch]

Well it's nice that someone else is able to be sentimental about our founding membership.

Because goodness knows I certainly hear no end to that, simpering in my ear while we deal with what's left.

Though I may take partial responsibility for setting off a chain reaction.

[madannoshashu]

[ That actually earns a laugh. ]

Not too much, Mr. Zexion.

I think it's that puppetmaster of yours that's more to blame than you are.

Not that mind wouldn't pine, anyway -- she always gets wistful around "app time".

[illicitresearch]

The puppetmaster who seems more content to play with Vexen's dolls, yes. It's a sad truth, and so I won't be caught bending the rules, even if there's no question I'd be steering clear of that replica.

Seasonal excitement is quickly overrun by the laundry list of chores, over here.

[doestheickyjobs]

What, just two through six? I'm hurt, Xigbar. Really.

What are we, chopped liver?

[madannoshashu]

Well, I can't very well ask for doubles, now can I?

Unless you're offering shots with that chopped liver, I think I'll stick with sushi.

[doestheickyjobs]

I guess I can understand the sentiment. Also? Find your own booze.

[He smirks, flicking a hand out.] Having any luck with your little recruitment drive?
