Student Art Show, Community Center, Saturday Evening

[not_a_moonie]

A meeting room at the community center had been nicely appointed for an evening show of students' work, with pieces hung on the walls and a small stage set aside for monologues and musical performances. The food wasn'tquite as abundant as it had been the day before, but there was still plenty of cheese, crackers, crudités and non-alcoholic

Do what you do best.

April and Mal were so ready to appreciate some art. After a day outside exploring the island, it was good to be indoors and surrounded by free food.

"Do you think they'd give me wine if I asked?" Mal wondered.

"Sure," April said easily. "Tell them you're my big sister."

Sure. Perfectly plausible.

Dante was just here for the free food; what few things he'd made in art class that he hadn't paved over or otherwise destroyed were tucked in a drawer somewhere in his room, hopefully never to be found by anyone.

Still, he turned up. Looking faintly disappointed about the food.

"Dante!" Kathy hissed, coming up behind him at the sad little refreshments table. "What the heck did you tell Sarah about me?!"

Re: Arrive & Mingle [10/03]

[rebelseekspizza]

'What the heck'. Really, Kathy?

Dante gave that a one-shouldered shrug. "She said you couldn't possibly know how to flirt," he said.

Look, he already knew she needed to work on her cussing. He should be glad she hadn't thrown in a 'darn' as well.

"You could have let her go on thinking that!" she protested. "It wouldn't have hurt anything! And it definitely wouldn't have made her curious about Ezra. Or you!"

Both of which Kathy could have cheerfully lived without Sarah knowing about ever.

"I made you sound less lame than she thinks you are," Dante retorted. He bit down on some cheese. Damn, this spread was disappointing. "That's a good thing."

Re: Arrive & Mingle [10/03]

"Nononono, Dante, she's my little sister," Kathy explained, as if her arguments actually made any sense. "She's not supposed to think of me as--flirting or anything else. I'm supposed to be her good, boring big sister who leads by example!"

Dante gave her a modified version of the WTF even? look he'd given Anders the other day.

"She's clearly not following," he pointed out. "Might as well give up."

Re: Arrive & Mingle [10/03]

[spin_kick_snap]

Hey, Anders had earned that look far more than Kathy had. She'd have given him one of those had she been there, too.

"Yes, but--but--I mean--like, you know!"

No, Kathy, he didn't.

"She's my little sister!"

Re: Arrive & Mingle [10/03]

[rebelseekspizza]

That's why it was modified. Like a softer version of the same sentiment.

"And you really want her to turn into you two years ago?" Dante said. Dubiously.

The narrative would like to say he'd understand her better once he remembered his own slightly littler brother, but no.

In fairness, Vergil might have been a less douchey person if Dante had managed to get him laid.

"I...no," Kathy admitted softly. "But--it just feels weird. She doesn't need to know any of what I get up to on rooftops!"

And in alleyways.

Re: Arrive & Mingle [10/03]

[rebelseekspizza]

Right? Right?

"Well, I didn't tell her that," Dante said. "Just that you knew how to flirt, and Ezra taught you how."

Re: Arrive & Mingle [10/03]

[spin_kick_snap]

"That little--" And now Kathy was turning a fulminating glare onto Sarah. "The way she made it sound--! I'm going to wring her scrawny neck, just watch me."
