[Leaning down and giving him a very professional and polite kiss on the cheek.]

Re: Mercury

[onetrippony]

[ Oh, this is familiar, Mercury easily returns the kiss on the opposite cheek in a polite manner of his own. ]

Re: Mercury

[firstworldproblem]

And thus our goals are both complete, efficiently and without embarrassment.

Re: Mercury

[onetrippony]

I admit I do like it when it's simple like this. Thanks for your help.

[Laughing because he can't help himself.]

If nothing else, it will stave off idleness with good company.

Re: Paloma

[marsascending]

A good marriage is one with equal parts joy and common purpose, after all.

Re: Paloma

[firstworldproblem]

Perhaps that is where I have gone wrong all these years. I only did adhere to the rule of common purpose.

Re: Paloma

[marsascending]

...mm. It's really easy to neglect the joy, when you're working hard.

A good time to get that sort of perspective, isn't it?

Re: Paloma

[firstworldproblem]

Among other complications.

[Giving her one last twirl out before letting her go with a bow.]

But will we ever enjoy the gossip.

Re: Paloma

[marsascending]

[ she gives him one perfect high society bow in return. ]

Here's to us.

Re: Paloma

[firstworldproblem]

To us.

I won't keep you any longer, my dear. Do enjoy the rest of this event.

You certainly have never been shy with your opinions. Though I must say, I haven't really spent the time trying to understand your goals and motives for being here. A task I should rectify.

Re: Ruby

[notadrop]

What goals and motives? It's not like - not like I chose to be here -

[ aaaand the facecracks start showing up, immediately proving that to be 100% untrue. ]

Re: Ruby

[firstworldproblem]

You'll need to put on a better facade in front of Miss Yvette. She'll see right through you and promptly begin her endless questions.

[Kneeling.]

Very well, chosen or not, you are not one to be wait for fortune. You must have thought what you would ask upon graduation.

Re: Ruby

[notadrop]

It's kind of hard when they stuck me with this stupid edgy facial mood ring.

[ sigh. ]

It's dumb and selfish. You don't wanna hear it.

Re: Ruby

[firstworldproblem]

They stuck you with what?

Re: Ruby

[notadrop]

The cracking thing my face does. It's like, some stupid thing that happens whenever I feel emotions I don't like or something stupid.

You can take a second. If you like.

Re: Persephone

[forgottenmercy]

Things like this should, ah, be savored.

Re: Persephone

[firstworldproblem]

[Simply shrugs and takes a seat somewhere.]

Re: Persephone

[forgottenmercy]

[finally slowly sips on the drink.


...hmmm.]

Re: Persephone

[firstworldproblem]

Was your trip elsewhere pleasant?

Re: Persephone

[forgottenmercy]

Gentler than what I, ah, missed here.

[just sharks.]

Re: Persephone

[firstworldproblem]

True. Though your must admit, your unit did seem to have the advantage.
