[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 ))

Try a bit lower, Axel~

_{[The eyes!]}

Though your hair does compliment them rather nicely.

[flared]

... Lower?

[Looks down at himself.]

Like how much lower?

Re: video;

[fulmination]

...Your eyes, Axel.

video;

[flared]

Oh. Right.

[Chuckle! He knew that.]

They are pretty cool, aren't they?

video;

[fulmination]

I assure you I'm not interested in that way. I'm happily taken.

_{[Gosh Axel.]}

They're certainly bright.

[flared]

Whatever you say, dude.

[He stares directly into the camera and grins.]

You know... I'd give you a five.

Re: video;

[fulmination]

Oh? Just a five?

_[Axellllll.]

[flared]

It would be more.

But your choice of outfits makes me laugh.

[fulmination]

What's wrong with a nice suit?

_{[He's a little old fashioned, okay.]}

[flared]

Well, it's not like every day is a fancy party, you know. Can't you just put on a t-shirt and pants and call it good?

video;

[fulmination]

It's not that uncommon where I come from. Besides, I'm not much of a fan of low-collared shirts for personal reasons.

video;

[flared]

Why? Afraid to show a little skin?

video;

[fulmination]

No, I'm not. I'd just prefer to not let people see what caused my death back in my world.

[flared]

How did you die?

Re: video;

[fulmination]

...Let's just say I died serving my country.

video;

[flared]

Were you decapitated? Hung?

video;

[fulmination]

No, and no. Honestly, those are rather gruesome ways to go to begin with...

video;

[flared]

Did someone rip your heart out?

video;

[fulmination]

Heavens no! What on earth would give you that idea?

video;

[flared]

I dunno. But it sounds pretty deadly, doesn't it?

Did someone... shoot you?

[What is this, 20 Questions?]

video;

[fulmination]

I've seen worse, honestly.

No. But they tried.

_{[Pretty much! And he's being honest! No lies there!]}

video;

[flared]

So what did they do exactly, then?

[Bats his lashes!]

video;

[fulmination]

Someone else tried to assassinate me, but they weren't the ones who caused my death.

_{[BAT MORE.]}

The shooting in question occurred around the winter near the town I grew up in. I wasn't a political figure by any means, but I did make quite a name for myself in the war seven years prior to that but I'd rather not go into those details right now. The point being, the soldiers giving me an escort wanted me dead. I must commend them on their attempt but I didn't survive that long just to be killed by a sniper of all things.

video;

[flared]

Well, well. You set up quite a reputation for yourself, didn't you? I guess I can commend you for that.

[BAT BAT BAT]

[fulmination]

It's funny what some people will do just because they don't like the things you've done in your past.

_{[NOT BATTING HARD ENOUGH.]}

Surely you've done similar?
