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.

"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.

[madannoshashu]

Touchy, touchy.

[ And yet he grins. ]

I think we know where I stand.

[xaldin]

I am not disappointed, then.

And the company?

[madannoshashu]

Oh, you know, trucking along as usual.

Hit a little bump last month, but nothing too lasting.

[ Except for that rare, barely noticeable undercurrent of ire in his tone that says it wasn't just a small thing. As for the members: ]

The secretary got the boot.

[xaldin]

[ xaldin catches that, but first — ]

Continue.

[pullsheavendown]

Oh, yeah. It'd be real fun.

[madannoshashu]

Funny thing about dogs, sometimes.

[ You know who he means. ]

They get a little bolder than taking off a hand.

after working

[xaldin]

[ completely. ]

That dog, then, must be disciplined — or else, it must die.

[madannoshashu]

Already done, dude.

[ But it shouldn't have happened at all. ]

[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'.

[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.

[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.]

[pullsheavendown]

Barely is still too much.

[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?

[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?

[madannoshashu]

All a matter of perspective, tiger.

You'd miss it.

[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.]

[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?

[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.
