ORIENTATION ♔ shall we stumble through the dark together

[badexample]

WHO || Andrew Gatewood and Brantley River [open for people to run into them!]
WHAT || Orientation
WHERE || starting in the computer lab
WHEN || Sept 7th
HOW || actionspam

[Andrew should have contacted his squire sooner. He actually meant to contact the guy the day after the party, but he... forgot. Late in the evening while he's updating a few of the computers in the lab, he remembers and grabs for his phone. Shooting off a quick text, he's extremely informal in his last minute invitation for a run down on the way this whole thing works.

God, he's going to be bad at this. He tries to tell himself otherwise, but he knows, deep down. In order to avoid thinking about it, he busies himself with various updates on the machines. Unfortunately, he gets pretty into his work fairly quickly. So he probably won't notice when the man does arrive.]

I... Why would you... No! It's nothing like that. I'm just meant to... help you! Like a big brother or something.

...Unless you and your brother are..? Then nothing like a big brother.

[While this happens, Brantley's brain decides to take a break, resulting in weird interpretation of Andrew's word and bizarre choice of words from Brantley.(wis 7)]

I don't see what's wrong in that! Sure some people says our relationships are more than close, but what's wrong with having partner[in crimes]-like relationship with your own brother!? And I would also appreciate it if we keep our relationship casual [platonic], like with my real brother!

[And he says all that with a bit of angry tone.]

[badexample]

I... This is a joke, right? It has to be a joke. Did Zero put you up to this?!

[fixyourproblem]

What...? Zero...? What the hell are you saying!? Did you just say my relationship with my brother is a joke!?

[Uh..Oh..The overly attached little brother, Brantley, really doesn't like when someone insult his big bro (or his bromance with his brother, in this case). Luckily, due to his cool-headed brain - which is still taking a break(wis 9, will nat 20), he doesn't punch Andrew in the face.]

[badexample]

So you mean... You mean to tell me you have sex with your brother?!

[This is going so, so well....]

[fixyourproblem]

Wha... What!

[He pauses for a moment - confused, and shocked. Although Brantley would probably like it if that happens. No! Brantley didn't, don't and won't have sex with his brother.]

DO you have sex with your brother!?

[badexample]

NO! Of course I don't! You said you- [He sputters to explain, because THIS IS NOT HIS FAULT OKAY. Why is the universe doing this to him??]

[fixyourproblem]

[Thankfully Brantley's processing unit is starting to reboot.(wis 17)]

Listen! Whatever you think you heard, forget about it! My relationship with my brother is purely platonic, and I would prefer if we also start ours the same way.

[Unfortunately, Rebooting doesn't necessarily mean ready to work.]

If you want more, I'll be gladly to work it out, but let's start with just friends, okay?

[badexample]

I don't want more! I don't want anything! I just want to show you how to be a Knight and that's it.

[fixyourproblem]

Then that's the only thing I'll be expecting from you!

...

I'm going to return to my room. Thanks for... the lesson...

[Brantley hastily leaves the lab with 'What the fuck just happened!?' written all over his face.]
