TALLY-HO

[inoperative]

Character: Crow
Fandom: Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
Player Name: January

[A) ooh shiny things]

[Somewhere, sometime, some innocent local is eating outside. With a fork.

This might not seem like much, except Crow happens to be cartwheeling by when he suddenly stops by the local.]

Hey, that's a pretty nice thing you have there. I'll be taking that, thanks! [Yoink.] Tally-ho!

[... Yes, Crow just stole the fork out of the local's hand because a clean and shiny fork is not common in his world, okay. Moving to jump to the roof of a nearby building now, much to the poor local's dismay—]

[B) why you should lock your windows]

[Are you enjoying the privacy of your apartment? NOT ANYMORE, YOU'RE NOT.

Because one (1) Crow is now perched on your window and entering the room. Hey, it doesn't matter how high up you are—heights are nothing to him.]

... Wait. You already live here? Man, it's gonna take some time to get used to this...

[... Not that this stops him from moving to wander around the room and examine everything.]

Comments

[votively]

I fully acknowledge that my initial reaction was perhaps not the best. However, I don't believe that warrants dirtying furniture.

[inoperative]

Oh come on, it's not like I'm getting it that dirty. You're overreacting.

[votively]

Even if that may be the case . . . I will ask only once: please, step down onto the floor.

[There's a firm edge to his words. He's not budging until Crow gets down.]

[inoperative]

What will you do if I don't, huh?

[votively]

[Stab you.]

One way or another, you will.

[inoperative]

[Extreme much?

Crow stares at him for a few moments, before sighing dramatically and flipping off the table, because hey, might as well add some flair to this.]

Man, you're no fun. You should loosen up.

[votively]

[Satisfied, some of the tension leaves Calcedny, though he's far from being content with the situation.]

You, who has trespassed into this unit, are not in the position to state such a demand.

In the first place, why are you checking the apartments? You can easily see which residencies are available with your personal device.

[inoperative]

[He actually didn't know that, whoops.]

Sure, but nothing beats like checking them yourself. It's part of the experience! Gotta be sure about these things and all.

[votively]

. . . I see. I commend your hard work in pursuing that goal.

[But. There is always a but—]

Next time, I advise using the doors.

Now, if that's all you came in for, do you plan to move onto the next unit?

[inoperative]

Nope. You're funny.

[Leaaaaaning into your personal space.]

Way too uptight, though.

[votively]

[ . . . funny!?

That intrusion, though unacceptable, will be taken as a challenge.]

What are you doing so close, all of a sudden?

[inoperative]

[... wow this guy. Crow leans back, before suddenly moving to behind Calcedny.]

Geez, calm down. You're acting like I'm attacking you or something.

[votively]

[His personal bubble was attacked, that's what.

"Funny" as he may be, Calcedny is quick to turn on his feet to face Crow. It doesn't escape him that this entire event is damaging to first impressions and his upstanding position, but then again, no one has been this insolent in Vatheon so far, much less in his abode of choice.]

Your actions have given me little reason to trust what you'll do next.

[inoperative]

Hey, I'm harmless. [...] For the most part, at least.

[votively]

Is that a threat?

[inoperative]

Wow, you really are paranoid, aren't you?

[He places his hands on his hips.]

Well, you can take what I said whichever way you want to. Of course, that doesn't mean it's the right way, but it ain't my fault if you read that wrong.
