HOW || Actionspam

 

[Earlier in the week all DRAKENET devices received a message announcing Francesca's birthday party, courtesy of Sir Bancroft, to be held the evening of July 11. No RSVP needed. It's especially good timing now that many mission groups have returned to the castle, at least for the time being.

As the guests make their way in, it's clear the party's been well stocked with food and drink. There's plenty of room for mingling and some music in the background. Gifts are completely optional, but welcome. Come in and get comfortable.]

[asap]

Me too! Sometimes I'm way too hungry to worry about things like eating lint, right?

[necessaryevil]

... You eat lint regularly?

[asap]

...well, not on purpose or anything!

[necessaryevil]

Just checking.

[asap]

But it's one of those dangers of pocket food! So you should watch out.

[necessaryevil]

Big on doling out advice to strangers, are you?

[asap]

[She shrugs, then sticks out a hand.]

I'm Andie.

[necessaryevil]

[ he stares at the hand a moment, as if it might bite him. but finally relents, and thrusts one of his into hers. his palm is warm, but not sweaty as he gives it a firm shake. ]

Max.

Let me guess: now we're not strangers.

[asap]

Eeeexactly. [She beams.] So I can lecture you on lint in food forever. [A beat.] But I won't. That'd get boring really fast.

[necessaryevil]

Forever's a really long time.

[asap]

Yeah. [And Andie's probably going to see the better part of it.] So, are you here for dancing or just stealing food?

[necessaryevil]

Do I really look like a big dancer to you?

[asap]

Never to late to start!

[necessaryevil]

It's too late. Believe me.

[asap]

[She shakes her head firmly.] Nope! Never too late.

[necessaryevil]

No offense but, [ he pops a nut into his mouth off the table, glancing at her skeptically ] you don't know anything about me. Beyond my name.

[asap]

[She shrugs.] I kind of move fast. [...not like that.]

[necessaryevil]

[ R U SURE ] Oh yeah?

[asap]

[YEAH SHE'S SURE. And suddenly on the other end of the table, giggling.] Pretty sure.

[necessaryevil]

[ he looks suitably impressed, but like he's trying to act casual about it ] ... No shit. How'd you do that?

[asap]

[She shrugs and reappears with a mini quiche in her hand.]

It's my thing. It's way easier than staying normal paced.

[necessaryevil]

Must come in handy. You could probably rob someone blind before they looked twice.

[asap]

[She gives him a judgy look.]

Or pull a baby out of the way of a oncoming train, since I like using my powers for good.

[necessaryevil]

... Well, maybe you were robbing a bad guy. I don't remember specifying.

[asap]

Yeah, cause that's the first thing people mean when they say stealing.
