Games are infantile trivia.

[proud_malfoy]

Did you really....think I would volunteer for one of these so called games? If you really think that, then you are a lost cause. Not that there is much that can be done for you already. A pity really. Your ideas of entertainment are far from what I would call a reality. You are misguided and I will not become a pawn in your ever changing ideas for...fun.

The Lord save me from this utter trivia. I have much more important things to be doing with my time. Games are not one of them. It really amuses me how little you know about me and also saddens me at the same time. Then again, you know little of anything really.

Nobody volunteers. It's an unfortunate truth, and a difficult one to work with.

[proud_malfoy]

[He raised an eyebrow at the young woman.] Oh? You seem to know something about these so called games.

[asthedrivensnow]

[He doesn't recognise her? She knows exactly who he is.] I've some experience, but it's hardly definitive.

[oncebitten]

Generally speaking, Lucius, you don't get to choose.

_{[ and your money won't help you here, son. ]}

[proud_malfoy]

[ooc: are you a young Narcissa from the Marauder era or an older Narcissa and his wife?]

Perhaps you would care to explain your experiences to me.

[proud_malfoy]

Lupin. [He would refrain from the wolf insults for now.]

I am coming to understand that now, unfortunately. Everyone has a choice in their life and no one pushes me around. [The Dark Lord. He was different.]

[asthedrivensnow]

[She's still a Black.]

You might as well ask me to explain the stars.

It comes down to choice, and you don't get one. If your mundane is set on somewhere, nothing you can say, do, or threaten will stop them from attempting to send you there.

[proud_malfoy]

A worthy quest indeed. There are many stars and probably an equal amount of answers to go with them. [He gazed at the young woman and saw that she bore a resemblance to someone he knew. Someone close.]

Will you not stand up against your mundane? Show them that you are not a pawn to be played with. [No one dare use himself as a pawn, as they would end up dead. Probably.]

[oncebitten]

_{[ he may be a wolf, but it wasn't through his own will. what's your excuse? ]}

Being pushed around will be the least of your worries.

[proud_malfoy]

[He doesn't need an excuse to be a peacock.]

Oh? Tell me, what delights wait in store for us regarding these games?

[oncebitten]

It all depends on what your mun intends to do.

_{[ because there are the sex games, and then there are the memory loss games and don't forget that one game where people have strange balls with animals in them. he still doesn't understand how that one works. ]}

[proud_malfoy]

Is that so? [He was having none of it.]

[Sex games? Dear Lord. He would not be going into one of those. That was for sure.]

Are you in a game, Lupin?

[oncebitten]

No, not at the moment. She keeps looking, though.

_{[ unfortunately he's not the 'usual' Remus Lupin people expect to see. being 20+ years old tends to put a dampener on the whole best friends thing. ]}

[proud_malfoy]

I have no idea what plans mine has for me. Yet, they can be assured that I will not be going into any odd scenarios. I have heard of so called games involving ships, is it? Also, sex. How disgusting. [Lucius, you prude.]

[oncebitten]

_{[ ... and lupin laughs. merlin, this is one of the most surreal conversations he's ever had over here. ]}

Ships are everywhere, not just in games. As far as I can tell, it's short for 'relationships' so shipping means relationshipping.

<sub>[ which isn't a word, but... well, it's the best description from what he's managed to figure out.

and hey, sex isn't disgusting, unless it's forced. then it's diabolical. ]</sub>

There's a lot of places to keep you interested, if nothing else.

_{[ at first, anyway. ]}

[proud_malfoy]

[Was the wolf actually laughing at him or with him? He wasn't sure.]

The word is useless and irrelevant, as I am already in a happy marriage with my wife and son. [Pffft. Happy marriage? Get your head screwed on, Lucius.]

Perhaps. Yet, I do not understand why some of these mundanes choose to...place us with other men. Wizards dating one another. What rot. [He won't mention the crush on Severus he had when he was younger.]

[oncebitten]

_{[ oh, always with you, lucius. some of us aren't that needlessly cruel. ]}

Happiness is relative though, isn't it? <sub>[ Lupin chooses to live in the muggle world much more readily than he chooses to live in the world of wizards - if only because it's so much easier to walk among them as opposed to walking below them.

at least the muggles don't believe him when he makes a joke about being a werewolf, and at least he's able to hold a job or two down at once.

sure, he might have to ... disappear on certain nights, but when people ask questions, it's time to move on. it's a nice little life he's gotten himself, and it'd be perfect if he could just ignore the loneliness that comes with lying all the time. ]</sub>

Being gay is hardly the end of the world, Malfoy.

_{[ he's seen worse crimes committed. or he's heard of worse crimes committed, anyway. ]}

[proud_malfoy]

Perhaps. [He didn't know what to say on the subject. Talking with Remus was something he hardly ever did in his lifetime. Remus was a half-blood and a werewolf. Something Malfoy didn't really favour much.]

You are rather open in your views, aren't you, Lupin? [Was Remus gay? It wouldn't surprise him, as Lucius knew how much time he spent with Potter and Black. Lucius cleared his throat and did not want to come across as weak in front of this wolf.]

[aphoenixsong]

I do not believe the Lord - any lord, really - could save you from this plight.

[proud_malfoy]

Dumbledore. Have you had any experience in dealing with matters such as these?
