Shaky voice test, but not even a little sorry

[tough_love]

You bought me room for all those icons? You shouldn't have!

[Of course, by "shouldn't" she really means "should." But hey, at least she shows gratitude...]

But enough about those pretty pictures! Are you really planning to exile me to a giant turtle, mundane? And without Daddy there with me?! I thought we were supposed to be friends, mundane!

...well, so long as I am provided with plenty of warriors to battle, I may be able to overlook such an offense. Oooh, and things to plunder! I am not familiar with these "gangs" you speak of, but if they are similar to the clans back on Khoros, this may become a good decision after all!

[...shit.

Don't make eye contact, Kevin. Just turn around and walk away. Maybe she won't notice you.]

[tough_love]

[Oho no, she totally notices you.

Fortunately for you though? You two have been broken up for a while now. So you're spared a terrible affectionate terribly affectionate fate.]

I see you are here as well, Kevin.

[She may still be a little bitter about the whole "I agreed to marry you for your daddy's money" thing. But whatever, she's over you anyway. Besides, it'd be too much of a hassle to try chasing you down to pummel you.]

Do you have much experience with these "games" they speak of?

[For your sake: it better be useful.]

[buffing]

[FREEZES. Tenses. Sloooowly turns around and forces a smile. No talk of being her "beloved"? That's a good sign.]

Heyyy, Looma. You're looking... uh. Buff.

Anyway, yeah. Mun's got me in two games right now as a little kid, and she's working on an app to a third one for a more recent me.

[The cuddle game. Not that he'd say so, because like heck he's giving his less-than-darling fiancée any bright ideas.]

[tough_love]

[excuse you she is quite darling you manipulative jerk]

What are they like? If I am to have any luck in conquering them, I must know what is in store!

[She still sounds far too happy, considering the topic.]

Oh, and Kevin, you do know that the mundane shares what is said where I cannot hear it, yes?

[adarkfallenstar]

Well, well.

So nice to see another Muse from my canon walking about that isn't a Tennyson.

The pleasure is all mine, Lovely.

[buffing]

[WELP. Kevin smiles broadly, then, to please this lovely young warrior princess before him to appease the Orwellian Thought Police that are the muns.]

They're nothing special. Small games for small societies. Totally not worth conquering.

[notbloodylikely]

Battle and plunder huh? Not just a pretty face but exciting too.

[tough_love]

Those are the best kind! So much easier to conquer--I wouldn't even need an army!

[bad strategy BAD STRATEGY]

Are there many? Because I would love to take over a few while this mundane considers a more appropriate destination.

[Hey! There is nothing wrong with the turtle place!]

[tough_love]

Is there a reason you speak ill of my former beloved?

[Darkstar, thin ice; thin ice, meet Darkstar.]

[tough_love]

[Who even are you, and why are you speaking to her like this, human? She will at least give you credit for being so bold--too bad you're still a complete runt.]

Who are you, human? And why do you speak to me in such a manner?

[Flirting is a little...different in her neck of the universe.]

[adarkfallenstar]

Did you separate amicably?

[Question dodge. He loves them.]

[notbloodylikely]

[He's just some jerk, basically. One who is used to being the biggest guy in the room most of the time, but you know- not really measuring up presently.]

Feda Gandamak- [And he just realised his usual stock introduction of 'professionally tall, dark and handsome' just won't cut it on this audience. Okay, what else has he got? ... Oh, he figures this one will go down well and it's not technically untrue either.Technically.] War Lord of Elphinstone.

[Have a bow.] And I speak to anyone however I like. Any particular part of my statement you object to?

[bringchillifries]

You will soon discover that Mundanes are no one's friends.

[tough_love]

A warlord? You?

[On the list of reactions he probably wasn't going for: hysterical laughter. But hey, she needed a good laugh anyway.]

[notbloodylikely]

[Oh. He really wasn't aiming for that at all. He does not like being laughed at... For things related to combat.]

If you like having four arms, you'll not laugh.

[tough_love]

But of course! The human girl Julie bested me in combat, and now they are betrothed.

[By her standards, anyway. Ben's actual opinion on this matters less than you might think. Julie's even less than Ben's.]

It was all so terribly tragic.

[Moral of the story: stay away from Tetramandian romance, it may very well be the death of you.]

[tough_love]

A bold threat.

Especially coming from a runt like you!

[Don't do it bro, her species basically evolved to be nightmares in combat]

[notbloodylikely]

[What a coincidence! Human subspecies basically bred for war. Magic powers helps.

Still. Doesn't mean it's a good idea to pick a fight with the four armed Viking.]

I beat bigger than you when I was a novice. I could give you a head start, I'd still grind you to dust!

[adarkfallenstar]

Oh?

That seems a little suspicious to me. I mean, a human besting you? Odd.



Tch, and I haven't even received an engagement announcement. How tacky.

[tough_love]

She did have help.

[From a lot of sources, really. Up to and including Tennyson himself, but obviously he didn't choose to be used against her yes he did and Ship who she totally beat, TAKE THAT, LIVING POWER ARMOR]

Why would you? I do not believe you and Ben Tennyson are at all related.

[And your reputation does not precede you.]

[adarkfallenstar]

No, but isn't it polite to make such announcements known?

I might just have to crash that particular party.
