"What the Fuck, Lexi"

* ravishingRover has begun trolling strikingBelladonna!
[02:15] <ravishingRover> ☆|| alright here's the deal, Cully.
[02:16] <ravishingRover> ☆|| you and me are going to have some words.
[02:16] <strikingBelladonna> Cully? That's quite an interesting word to have, will the others be of the same quality?
[02:16] <ravishingRover> ☆|| ...i picked that one up from Hark. kinda trying it out.
[02:17] <ravishingRover> ☆|| anyway. the nature, tone, and volume of these words depends heavily on what in the living hell your intentions were pulling the things you did.
[02:18] <strikingBelladonna> You're the third person who's wanted to know that this morning.
[02:18] <ravishingRover> ☆|| do you realize what it is you did then?
[02:18] <strikingBelladonna> My apologies for not coyly dancing around the topic like I did for Harken, but yes, I do.
[02:19] <ravishingRover> ☆|| because i imagine the first two were Hark and Innana themselves and bless there hearts but they're pretty thick when it comes to this stuff.
[02:19] <ravishingRover> *their
[02:19] <strikingBelladonna> They were, though not in that order.

[02:20] <ravishingRover> ☆|| the order really doesn't matter to me. what matters is i caught your intended perforating walls this morning and you were indirectly the cause of this destructive urge.
[02:21] <strikingBelladonna> Well, I believe I was directly the cause of that urge.
[02:21] <strikingBelladonna> Unless he's been perforating other walls, in which case he and I will need to have a talk regarding fidelity.
[02:21] <ravishingRover> ☆|| you'll have to pardon me if i'm a little sour from cleaning up your mess, Lexi.
[02:22] <strikingBelladonna> Well, I hardly think you're that sour.
[02:22] <ravishingRover> ☆|| i know, i'm so charming it hardly shows.
[02:22] <strikingBelladonna> Well, that and, from what I've heard, you have quite the invitation.
[02:22] <ravishingRover> ☆|| invitation?
[02:23] <ravishingRover> ☆|| ignoring what might be a misdirect from my scolding, what've you heard?
[02:23] == Watching [[email protected]] has joined #RPGStuck_Orwell
[02:23] <strikingBelladonna> Well, a little huntress told me she was going to be offering you an invitation for some romance.
[02:24] <ravishingRover> ☆|| going to be? your news is a little out of date Lex.
[02:24] <ravishingRover> ☆|| i got straight up propositioned.
[02:25] <ravishingRover> ☆|| ...after watching the lady in question smooch your matesprit.
[02:25] <ravishingRover> ☆|| supposed matesprit.
[02:25] <strikingBelladonna> Well then, I can't imagine how you could be sour.
[02:25] <ravishingRover> ☆|| aside from Hark inadvertently getting dibs?
[02:26] <strikingBelladonna> I feel that if you truly believe her intentions behind that kiss were red, then you are even worse at troll romance than I.
[02:26] <ravishingRover> ☆|| nah, my beef might be something to do with a gal who claims she pities a man turning around and acting like she hates him.
[02:27] <ravishingRover> ☆|| so here's the big question, Cully. (liking this one. might keep it.)
[02:27] <ravishingRover> ☆|| do you know what a blasted matesprit even IS?
[02:27] <ravishingRover> ☆|| do you know what they do?
[02:28] <ravishingRover> ☆|| do you know what you're getting your adorably pale human head into?
[02:29] <strikingBelladonna> Well, I've never had it explicitly confirmed, but I've been able to deduce that they're a particularly delicious kind of dessert.
[02:31] <ravishingRover> ☆|| cheeky. normally that'd be cute and i'd play along, but right now all i'm feeling is 'you're never seeing these pictures of Hark i got before shit went down.'
[02:31] <strikingBelladonna> YOU WOULDN'T DARE!
[02:31] <ravishingRover> ☆|| missy i will shred them.
[02:31] <ravishingRover> ☆|| i took these on a digital camera, so that's mostly semantics.
[02:32] <ravishingRover> ☆|| but semantics they stand.
[02:32] <strikingBelladonna> WINONA, PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU, DON'T.
[02:32] <strikingBelladonna> Innana denied me pictures, you're my last opportunity.
[02:32] <ravishingRover> ☆|| what, aren't you enjoying your just desserts?
[02:33] <strikingBelladonna> ...
[02:33] <strikingBelladonna> Fine, I'll answer your questions if you'll just promise to give me those pictures.
[02:34] <ravishingRover> ☆|| you really all that desperate for what amounts to grubleague blackmail material?
[02:34] <strikingBelladonna> I'm mostly doing this out of respect for the just desserts comment.
[02:35] <ravishingRover> ☆|| ...and i can respect that respect.
[02:35] <strikingBelladonna> I hardly need embarrassing pictures of Harken to control with him, anyways.
[02:35] <strikingBelladonna> (control him with*)
[02:35] <ravishingRover> ☆|| ..yeah this is just telling me volumes Lex.
[02:36] <strikingBelladonna> I specialize in being informative and concise.
[02:36] <ravishingRover> ☆|| you specialize in stirring the pot. and the pot you've been stirring is one i'm growing quite fond of.
[02:37] <ravishingRover> ☆|| so sit down, little miss Lexi.
[02:37] <strikingBelladonna> You cannot expect me to believe you are not at least somewhat entertained by what I've brought to the surface with my meddling.
[02:38] <strikingBelladonna> But, very well, you may consider me sitting in an uncomfortable chair before your intimidating principle's desk.
[02:38] <ravishingRover> ☆|| entertained that Innana came in the middle of the day to attempt to straight up cull your matesprit out of misguided hatred?
[02:39] <strikingBelladonna> She had no intention of culling, I saw to that.
[02:39] <strikingBelladonna> And her hatred was not at all misguided from where I sit.
[02:40] <ravishingRover> ☆|| entertained that i had to listen to some absolutely rubbish shade being thrown from both parties when he woke up before i could soothe the beast?
[02:40] <ravishingRover> ☆|| she wasn't ready Lex.
[02:40] <ravishingRover> ☆|| this wasn't how it had to go.
[02:40] <ravishingRover> ☆|| hell, he wasn't ready either. not sure if he will be now, even if i see the potential in him.
[02:41] <strikingBelladonna> ... Are you upset that you were not the one who pulled the trigger?
[02:41] <ravishingRover> ☆|| you're missing the point here.
[02:41] <strikingBelladonna> You're jealous.
[02:41] <ravishingRover> ☆|| i'm miffed.
[02:42] <ravishingRover> ☆|| you manipulated a man you claimed to pity.
[02:42] <strikingBelladonna> Well, I did not intend to step on your toes, perhaps next time we can collaborate.
[02:42] <ravishingRover> ☆|| ....aaaand getting further miffed by the second, so help me Condescence.
[02:43] <ravishingRover> ☆|| do you really not care at all?
[02:43] <ravishingRover> ☆|| do you even pity him? or is that something your species just ain't equipped for?
[02:45] <strikingBelladonna> Ugh, that's such an excellent opportunity... But we are quite equipped for pity, though I believe we call it love.
[02:46] <ravishingRover> ☆|| ...love's a funny thing. and if you've only got one word for a concept we subdivide into two camps, i'm seeing part of the problem.
[02:46] <strikingBelladonna> I don't believe you do.
[02:47] <ravishingRover> ☆|| you'd better hope i'm seeing the damn light Lexi.
[02:47] <ravishingRover> ☆|| make me believe you're misguided. ignorant.
[02:47] <ravishingRover> ☆|| because you do NOT want me falling the other way on this judgement of character.
[02:48] <strikingBelladonna> I was fully aware of what I was doing, Harken did a surprisingly adequate job explaining what exactly black romance is.
[02:48] <ravishingRover> ☆|| then you're toying with him.
[02:48] <strikingBelladonna> I was.
[02:49] <ravishingRover> ☆|| Lexi. chase his black affections all you like.
[02:49] <ravishingRover> ☆|| hell, you're talented at it. a natural, even.
[02:49] <ravishingRover> ☆|| but you leave his pity alone.
[02:50] <strikingBelladonna> Oh, for goodness' sake, I don't want his black affections.
[02:51] <strikingBelladonna> I'm not even certain if humans are capable of experiencing those, at least in the same way a troll might.
[02:51] <ravishingRover> ☆|| you don't twist the emotions of a man that shows you his insecurities.
[02:51] <ravishingRover> ☆|| you just.. don't.
[02:52] <ravishingRover> ☆|| i really don't have a clever turn of phrase for this, even. it's that basic.
[02:52] <ravishingRover> ☆|| if that's what you think love is, then i'll just have to assume you all ride kismessitude style where you come from.
[02:53] <strikingBelladonna> I've been playing with Harken since the very moment he first contacted me unwarrantedly, and what he chooses to divulge to me is upon his own head for being too much of an enormous doof to see it.
[02:53] <ravishingRover> ☆|| well i'll give you one thing, he's an enormous doof.
[02:54] <ravishingRover> ☆|| but he's my enormous doof. and i won't see his pusher batted around like a purrbeast with a squeakbeast.
[02:56] <strikingBelladonna> Winona, if you could stop trying to be such a righteous defender of Harken's ever so delicate heart for a moment, I would be greatly appreciative.
[02:56] <ravishingRover> ☆|| you've got two minutes. i was about ready to do a dramatic signout here.
[02:59] <strikingBelladonna> I had every intention of leading Harken and the rest of you along behind me through a myriad of manipulation and playing, engaging with all of you in some perverse battle of wits which I would always win because you did not even realize you were fighting.
[02:59] <strikingBelladonna> But, he ruined it.
[02:59] <ravishingRover> ☆|| how'd he manage that?
[03:00] <ravishingRover> ☆|| (ignoring the part where you assume i'm too dim to have ever figured out you were the lynchpin in this)
[03:00] <strikingBelladonna> I was feeding him some half truth about this being my first real relationship, I don't know, just to see how he'd respond to it I suppose, whether he'd be flustered, or believe it was a lie, or something.
[03:01] <ravishingRover> ☆|| half truth?
[03:01] <strikingBelladonna> I'll explain that some other time.
[03:01] <strikingBelladonna> The bastard bought it, hook, line, and sinker.
[03:01] <strikingBelladonna> And then, he was sweet to me.
[03:01] <ravishingRover> ☆|| yeah big shocker there darling.
[03:02] <ravishingRover> ☆|| he's your fucking matesprit.
[03:02] <ravishingRover> ☆|| assuming he's not jerking your chain under false pretenses, that's what the job entails.
[03:03] <ravishingRover> ☆|| Empress help me, he actually pities you.
[03:03] <strikingBelladonna> Apparently so, frankly, I had thought it was obvious, even to him, that I had not actually agreed to be his matesprit yet.
[03:04] <ravishingRover> ☆|| yeah, well.
[03:05] <ravishingRover> ☆|| the heart does dumb things to the mind when it wants something.
[03:06] <ravishingRover> ☆|| darn shame what he wants is a demon.
[03:06] <strikingBelladonna> We can't have had more than six conversations, between a girl in the middle of nowhere France and an alien criminal.
[03:07] <strikingBelladonna> How he even reached a point where a relationship between the two of us was more than a dream I cannot understand.
[03:07] <ravishingRover> ☆|| i'm not saying he's smart. i'm saying if you damn well no better, your actions are your responsibility.
[03:07] <ravishingRover> *know
[03:09] <strikingBelladonna> In point of fact, I do not actually know better.
[03:10] <strikingBelladonna> I have consistently, over a great deal of conversations with the collection of you, been shocked when what I believed was an obvious falsehood was then believed.
[03:10] <ravishingRover> ☆|| i think i'll get back up on my high hoofbeast, take up my shield, and get back to defending the fair damsel now, if that's alright by you.
[03:11] <strikingBelladonna> Very well, have at me, oh valkyrie of criminal hearts.
[03:12] <ravishingRover> ☆|| you fucked with him. swallowed crock of lies and all, you gave him hope of some kind, and that was enough for him i guess.
[03:12] <ravishingRover> ☆|| i get he's trusting. i've seen it.
[03:14] <ravishingRover> ☆|| the difference between you and me is that i'm going to be the big girl here and follow through.
[03:14] <ravishingRover> ☆|| do what you will, Lexi.
[03:14] <strikingBelladonna> Oh, finally decided that you want him enough to have him?
[03:15] <ravishingRover> ☆|| just know there is an obstacle in your way, should you continue down the path you have chosen, alright?
[03:15] <strikingBelladonna> How kind of you to deign to mend his broken heart after I have so cruelly shattered it with falsehoods, truly, yours is a magnanimous love.
[03:15] <ravishingRover> ☆|| you're damn right it is.
[03:16] <ravishingRover> ☆|| high hoofbeast out.
