Will you or won't you

[attheclocktower]

Characters: Anybody and everybody
Setting: Floor 1, before noon
Summary: Riki's offered a way to help keep the Tower powered a little longer. Obviously this is going to cause a lot of discussion and debate so let's CONSOLIDATE
Warnings: Nothing as of yet. Possibly eventually, so keep an eye on subject lines and I 'll try to change to reflect any developments

[No doubt Riki's announcement would be polarizing, but the instructions themselves were clear: Floor 1 at noon if you want to help out. And if you want to meet people, try to talk them in or out of it? Or hell, maybe even just talk about the revelation on who is behind those explosions? Well, this is as good a place as any for that too.

Just remember to be careful near the staircase]

[midgarhorizon]

[That effectively shut Reno up, looking away.]

I get it.

[fionnuisce]

...Sorry. That might have been harsher than I wanted it to sound.

[midgarhorizon]

Don't worry about it. I've handled it before.

[And there he goes, retreating into his mask.]

If it makes you happy, who am I to argue?

[fionnuisce]

I'm certainly not stupid enough to be happy about this.

[midgarhorizon]

...That's not what I meant.

[fionnuisce]

I know that's not what you meant, but since you seem to have taken the route of being short and slightly infuriating I thought I might as well.

[actual twelve year old waver velvet.]

[midgarhorizon]

[Reno looks up at Waver, because seriously, Reno's not a short guy but this is silly.]

What, did I shrink?

[fionnuisce]

Verbally short, imbecile. An indication of either annoyance, concern, or wanting to tell the person you're speaking to to fuck off.

[midgarhorizon]

[That manages to get Reno to crack a half smile.]

I don't need words to tell someone to fuck off.

[fionnuisce]

So it's one of the other options, then? Be careful, I might start to think you were worried about me.

[midgarhorizon]

Tch, whatever gave you that idea?

[fionnuisce]

I'm a fucking genius.

[Obviously.]

[midgarhorizon]

You? No! Never would'a guessed.

[Don't take that badly, Waver, he's only teasing.]

[fionnuisce]

I know, I know. I'm too pretty to be smart, right? Try to restrain yourself.

[The sarcasm is tangible.]

[midgarhorizon]

You're lucky I'm married.

[Snort.]

[fionnuisce]

You're lucky Diarmuid would give me that ridiculous 'sad and rejected puppy' look.

[midgarhorizon]

More appropriate when he's got the ears to go with it.

[fionnuisce]

[Waver actually laughed at that--more accurately, he stifled a laugh behind his hand.]

I have to admit, that was incredibly amusing while it lasted.

[midgarhorizon]

Remind me to take him back up to the mushroom ring floor. Maybe I can work out a deal with the faeries to give him the tongue to go with it. He'd match that giant slobber machine of his.

[fionnuisce]

I'm obligated as the sensible one to say 'don't push your luck'.

...But see if you can get him a more fluffy tail.

[midgarhorizon]

Y'mean like one of those puffy rat terriers?

[fionnuisce]

God no. I was thinking something more along the lines of a husky.

[midgarhorizon]

So a poodle wouldn't work either?

[fionnuisce]

...Well, that would be hilarious.

[midgarhorizon]

And y'know he'd just pull one of those long suffering faces and sigh.
