[slaps]

[Someone doesn't look happy. She's dressed up in this dress, and her hair is cut short to this.]

If anyone minds telling who decided to cut my hair and change my whole wardrobe, I'd be very happy.

[She doesn't. Look happy at all. Actually, the only time that she looks this angry is when she's talking to Zelos, but since this (probably) isn't his fault for once--]

I know some others have been having this happening to them lately, but this needs to stop. Now.

Someone clearly hasn't been around very long. If you want it to stop, you'd best go back home, darling.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Do you think I'd be here if I could go back home?

[alphaophiuchi]

Having been here as long as I have, I can say that I don't claim to know exactly how everyone thinks. I'm not a bloody mind-reader, you know.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Mind-reader or not, I'd say most of us don't want to be here.

[alphaophiuchi]

Like I hadn't gathered that. [he rolls his eyes.] Darling, I do suggest doing something about it if you're so opposed. Complaining publicly about it is just a hint on the pathetic side, and gets you nowhere.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

[What's with all these people. B|]

Of course I'm not just going to complain about it. [She scowls.] Now if you didn't want to listen to me complain, it would've been just as easy to ignore me.

[alphaophiuchi]

You would think, hm? Tragically, this place is far too boring for me to ignore everyone. No, I think my time is far better spent like this.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Complaining about me complaining? Yeah, you must be pretty bored.

[alphaophiuchi]

Au contraire, darling. Merely sussing out if you actually have a plan for this plot of yours. Boredom hardly plays into that.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

It's not really any of your business, anyway.

[alphaophiuchi]

Doesn't matter. You brought it up.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

I was venting.

[alphaophiuchi]

Most people don't vent to an open network call.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

You know what, if you're just going to sit there and make smart remarks, you can just hang up.

[alphaophiuchi]

An offer that's duly noted, darling. But I think I'll pass, if you don't mind.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

I do mind, actually.

[alphaophiuchi]

Oh, don't be like that.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Like what, exactly?

[alphaophiuchi]

Snappish. It's hardly becoming of a lovely lady such as yourself.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

[...well that was quite a change. She blinks once, twice, before replying:]

And you're thinking you're going to get on my good side, now?

[alphaophiuchi]

[oh, he was always like that, you just didn't notice. And yes, he is trying to get you to not kill him in his sleep.]

Perhaps. Is it working?

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Not really.

[She's not that easy.]

[alphaophiuchi]

Dammit. [long pause.] I'll just have to try harder then, won't I?

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

I guess you will.

[alphaophiuchi]

Oh well. Until the next time you decide you vent to an open network, then. I'll come up with something by then.

However, if you felt like doing something instead of complaining, as I suggested earlier, perhaps the conversation would go a bit better.
