[So, this week is shaping up to be a barrel of laughs, isn't it? And Axel intends to take full advantage of it.

Never mind that this could come around full circle to bite him in the ass later. With the SFC turned on he shows up, grinning with his head rested in his hand.

Hello, Vatheon.]

Let's play a game. A bonding exercise, if you will. I figure it'll lift everyone's spirits a little.

On a scale from 1 to 10, let's tell each other how attractive we think we are. Then we'll take turns explaining why. Sound good?

(( ooc: Threadjacking is totally cool, btw ))

Everyone seems to dig the hair.

[Said as he reaches up to tug at one of the spikes on his head.]

Let's call it an 8 and a half, then. Sound fair?

Well, if you've got nice hair, anyone will dig it. 8 and a half? Sounds fair enough to me!

Soooo is it just the hair that you like?

I can't really judge on personality, since we've only just met, but you seem like a pretty nice guy. Physically, though ... hmm. You're not bad-looking at all ~

[A laugh]

Aw, shucks. I would say you're just saying that, but you're actually telling the truth.

I don't believe we've met yet.

Got a bit of an ego on you, hm?

Nope, I don't believe we have! I'm Yuri. And you are?

Eh, I guess you could say that. As much as I like evading the truth, sometimes being brutally honest is just more fun.

The name's Axel.

[He taps his temple with a finger.]

Got it memorized?

Eh, I don't see the point to not being honest. I've got nothing to hide.

Nice to meet you though, Axel! And yeah, I think I can handle remembering that.

[ She's mimicking his temple tap with one of her own. ]

[Good. He likes your attitude.]

So you're usually this honest, then?

Yeah. Like I said, I don't see the point in not telling the truth. It's better then getting all caught up in some web of lies and all, right?

Well, a little white lie here and there can be a barrel of laughs, actually.

What kinds of white lies? Got an example?

Imagine you're playing one of those games where you have to direct a person to go somewhere while they're wearing a blindfold, all right?

It's no fun if you just help them properly the entire time, is it? You've gotta trick 'em into running into a couple stairs or pile of boxes first.

[Axel, what are you. 5?]

I don't know, that sounds kind of mean.

And someone could get seriously hurt like that.

[ Yuri please. ]

It's just a game. If you do it right, they might not even get hurt at all.

Harmless fun, y'know?

Huh. Well, okay, I guess it makes sense. I know a few people who do things for the sake of harmless fun.

... And some who do things for the sake of not-as-harmless fun.

Lemme guess. You're not friends with those people.

I'm not one to judge, really. State my honest opinion, yeah, but judge, no. So yeah, I'm friends with some people like that.

Actually, I'm married to that kind of person.

... You're married?

Yeah, I guess we could say that. It's kind of complicated.

I'm also dead back home, by the way! Just getting that out there.

Oh, hey, whaddaya know? Technically I am too.

[Or something like that.]

Oh, hey. Well, I'm sorry for your loss. We should form the dead peoples' club here in Vatheon or something.

There might be something to that. But I'm hoping it won't involve a lot of talking and pouring each other's feelings all over the place, know what I mean?

I don't think we'd have to, unless we had a reason for it. But even then, only if we want to.
