Second Cycle: [Video/Action] This isn't funny

[nowput_itback]

[Schuyler is actually delighted to see all the Christmas decorations. Cordelia never went overboard this way and when she and Oliver were on the run, they weren't in one place long enough to have a real Christmas. That is, she's delighted until she accidentally brushes up against some of the silver tinsel. Now she's just annoyed and also sparkling

[He's just standing back, leaning against the wall and eyeing her with an arched WTF brow. Cause seriously... wtf?]

[sigh and Schuyler tugging at the tattered hem of her sweater]

Yeah...it's the tinsel. Don't touch it. I don't usually sparkle. Promise.

Re: [Action]

[bloodcakedarmor]

[He's been seeing too many things made of weird and he isn't really sure how to react to any of it or what to think about it.]

Does it hurt?

[At least his priorities are in line, asking if she hurts before making any snarky comments.]

Re: [Action]

[nowput_itback]

The sparkling? No.

[That was kind of him.]

It's just annoying. It'll probably go away here in a little while as long as I don't touch anything else.

Re: [Action]

[bloodcakedarmor]

[He nods, looking to the tinsel.]

Yeah, I'm staying away from touching anything I don't have to until I figure out a way out of here.

Re: [Action]

[nowput_itback]

Let me know if you figure it out. I'd love to be able to go back home.

Are you new here?

[She pulls the sleeves of her sweater over her hands and wraps her arms around herself]

Re: [Action]

[bloodcakedarmor]

Yeah. New. It's only a momentary thing though. People here seem pretty resigned to it all. That's just not in me. Not a grin and take it kind of guy.

I'm... name's Derek. Derek Morgan.

Re: [Action]

[nowput_itback]

Me too.

[She pauses.]

I can't stay. I've got to find a way home and soon.

[Like within two weeks soon. She extends her hand to him.]

Schuyler Van Alen.

Re: [Action]

[bloodcakedarmor]

[He shakes her hand and that sparkle seeps into his own skin. He rolls his eyes and then dips his head around a smirk.]

Great.

Re: [Action]

[nowput_itback]

[Schuyler can't help but laugh.]

Sorry about that but I've got to say, sparkle looks good on you.

Re: [Action]

[bloodcakedarmor]

[If his skin were a shade lighter, you might be able to see him blush.]

Well thanks but this is crazy.

Re: [Action]

[nowput_itback]

[Schuyler shrugs a bit in response.]

Just a little but it sort of has been since I stepped out of a cab and ended up here.

In other words, I think crazy is par for the course here.

Re: [Action]

[bloodcakedarmor]

Yeah, I guess the question is whether you're used to crazy or not. I mean I'm one with the crazy but not this kind of crazy.

Re: [Action]

[nowput_itback]

Used to it? Not so much.

[She crosses her arms over her chest as they start to walk slowly down the hall. Her sparkle is beginning to dim a bit. Thank Goodness]

Sure, a different kind of crazy at home. New York Society Crazy, New Years Eve crazy, backstage at a runway show crazy but...not this kind of crazy.

[Of course there's also running for her life and being attacked by supernatural monsters crazy but she's not ready to confess that right now. And the society she's talking about? Not exactly your garden variety high society either.]

Re: [Action]

[bloodcakedarmor]

Sounds like you've got the good kind of crazy.

[He smirks]

Mines more the serial killer, pyromaniac, and torture kind of crazy.

Re: [Action]

[nowput_itback]

[Sky arched an eyebrow at him and returned the smirk]

Mine has it's high points. Sometimes.

What do you do? Because--that sounds like I should be backing away slowly.
