[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.

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.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Are you trying to tell me what I should and shouldn't talk about?

Here I was, thinking you were trying to get on my good side.

[alphaophiuchi]

Merely a suggestion, darling - no demands made. I'm sure you'd do what you liked anyway, hm?

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Finally getting on the right track, at least. Of course I'd do whatever I wanted.

[alphaophiuchi]

Exactly. So it doesn't much matter what I say. If you liked, you'd ignore every word that came out of my mouth. I think the fact that you haven't hung up on me yet proves that I'm already on my way to your good side.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

And if I hung up on you now, what would that tell you?

[alphaophiuchi]

It would tell me...perhaps that you're a touch embarrassed that I've gone and figured it out. I won't judge either way, however.

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Well you'd be wrong on that point. Maybe I just find you annoying.

[alphaophiuchi]

Maybe. But I suppose I'll have to see the next time we run into each other, hm?

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

I guess so.

[alphaophiuchi]

Until then, in that case. [he smirks.]
