[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 ))

[flared]

Yes way.

I can't lie, remember?

[ex_knowledge575]

...really? Wow, that's... actually kinda cool.

[flared]

You wouldn't be the first to say it.

Does that win me more points, then?

[ex_knowledge575]

Hrm...

Well, you are being nice to Leo. And the hair is real. Maybe I'll give you a seven.

[ ...Annabeth this is worse than the time with the lotus flowers. ]

[flared]

[He snaps his fingers at that.]

All right. I'll take that.

[Yes. Feed my ego. Feed it.]

Thanks, sweetheart.

[ex_knowledge575]

[ Annabeth grumbles and crosses her arms. Just what she needs, a guy with an ego during a curse like this. ]

Just-- it's just the curse so take it while you can get it. Ugh.

[ She totally needs to turn off her SFC for the rest of this. Except then she'd miss important stuff. ;w; ]

[flared]

Don't get so flustered.

Even if it is hilariously adorable.

[That was the whole point of asking this question, after all.]

[ex_knowledge575]

Wh-- I am not adorable!

[ You're really flustering her now Axel. ]

[flared]

What is it with girls and calling them adorable that gets 'em all puffed up like birds?

1/2

[ex_knowledge575]

Because it's condescending! Mr too big for his boots.

[ She's not going to admit she liked it not going to admit she liked it ]

[ex_knowledge575]

Even if I did like it--

[flared]

[Slooooowly he grins]

Aha. I see.

[ex_knowledge575]

Shut up! [ She needs to stop getting on the network for the rest of the week REALLY she does. ]

[flared]

[Aw. So touchy. Axel just laughs, still smirking wickedly. Ok. He won't say anything~

But she didn't say anything about being a smug bastard.]

[ex_knowledge575]

[ Annabeth knows that smug bastard look. She's seen something close to it on her own face enough time.

And then something weird happens.

Annabeth actually smiles at him. A proper, genuine smile. ]

Bastard.

[flared]

[With that he winks at her then folds his hands behind his head. Yeah, he's a bastard, he knows it, and he's not afraid to show it.]

I'll take that as a compliment.

[ex_knowledge575]

You would. [ You should. It's exactly how she means it and she doesn't bother to insult people unless they actually catch her notice. ]

You know, mister seven, I don't think we've ever formally introduced ourselves.

[coolerthansora]

He means it like a compliment.

And if you do it right, he gets a little flustered when you call him cute, too.

[ex_knowledge575]

[ She's reeeeeally bad at taking compliments Roxas, as she's never had that many. So her ears will just be turning red at that first part. ]

Really? He's... you can actually fluster him?

[coolerthansora]

Yeah. I've done it before.

[ex_knowledge575]

I didn't think it was possible.

[ She doesn't want to pry but the curse is still in full force. ]

So, you two are... [ dating? ]

[coolerthansora]

Best friends.

[Thankfully he doesn't see where she's going with that sentence or this would be awkward.]

I'm Roxas.

[ex_knowledge575]

Ah, of course. [ She's really glad she didn't continue that train of thought. It just seemed... natural? ]

Wait, you call your best friend cute?

I'm Annabeth. Good to meet you Roxas.

[coolerthansora]

[If only a certain someone thought so.]

Why not? He can be sometimes.

[ex_knowledge575]

You have a good point. [ She nods, wondering if she's picking up more than 'just friends' vibes from Roxas. One of her demigodly talents is reading people, but another is wisdom and she keeps silent about it. ]

How long have you been here for?
