In It to Win It

"Ulrik," Gert greeted, glad to recognize another person who was participating in this weird activity. "Hey."

Re: Round 4: Gertrude Yorkes / Ulrik of Denmark nomelancholy February 17 2013, 02:48:23 UTC

"Gert," Ulrik returned the- well. It was more of an acknowledgement than a greeting, really. "You look as if you're enjoying yourself immensely."

Re: Round 4: Gertrude Yorkes / Ulrik of Denmark arsenicmauls February 17 2013, 02:52:45 UTC

"In the sense that it's gross, sure," Gert said dryly. "What about you?"

Round 4: Jeremy Darling / Zee solo_sword February 16 2013, 04:43:50 UTC

Re: Round 4: Jeremy Darling / Zee 3girls_1core February 16 2013, 17:04:45 UTC

Okay, back to a guy. Zee offered Jeremy a quick smile and tried to find a decent opening line. "Hi," she offered.

Wait, no, that was terrible.

"I'm Zee."

Still terrible.

"And I think I suck at small talk."

[SP for a few hours as I drive home!]

Re: Round 4: Jeremy Darling / Zee stars_and_money February 16 2013, 21:35:08 UTC

"Aww, you're totally doing fine," Jeremy assured her, smiling. "See, you said hi and you introduced yourself, that totally works. Also, hi, I'm Jeremy. Nice to meet you, Zee, how's your evening going?"

Re: Round 4: Jeremy Darling / Zee 3girls_1core February 16 2013, 22:22:27 UTC

Zee actually considered that before answering. "Pretty well, I think," she said. "It's not as weird as I thought it would be. And people don't seem to mind that I, you know, suck at small talk."

*And now ask him how his evening is going,* Zhahar prompted. Because Zeela really was bad at this.

"Right!" Zee snapped her fingers. Which probably made her look totally normal, really. "How's yours?"

Re: Round 4: Jeremy Darling / Zee stars_and_money February 16 2013, 22:38:29 UTC

Jeremy had an amazing ability to be oblivious to weird things, so that didn't really register as much but a vaguely quirky thing to do. "Maximum, thanks for asking," he said, his smile wide and easy. "Met a bunch of pretty people, present company very much included, and I'm just... generally having fun."

Re: Round 4: Jeremy Darling / Zee 3girls_1core February 16 2013, 22:51:13 UTC

=Maximum?= Zeela asked her sisters. =Is that a thing?=

::Hush you,:: Sholeh retorted. ::He seems really sweet!::

=Yeah, well...okay.= It was grudging agreement, but it was agreement.

"I'm having fun, too," she said aloud. Trying not to sound too surprised by that.

*Now say 'thank you.'* Zhahar instructed.

=Why?=

*He called you pretty!* Sholeh and Zhahar answered at once.

"You called me pretty? Uh, thanks?" And then sank into her seat, because damn she was bad at this, and searched for something she could say back. "You have great dimples."

Re: Round 4: Jeremy Darling / Zee stars_and_money February 16 2013, 23:17:04 UTC

Okay, that was a little... more quirky, but Jeremy still smiled. Hey, couldn't deprive her of those dimples. "Thanks," he replied, with a chuckle. "And yeah, I did call you pretty. 'Cause, you know, you are. I make a point of telling people that."

Re: Round 4: Jeremy Darling / Zee 3girls_1core February 16 2013, 23:30:18 UTC

"Thanks," Zee said again. "Usually it's my big sister that's the pretty one. I'm still trying to figure out if it's nice to hear or kinda weird. Or both! Probably both."

Jeremy was possibly getting the notion that Zee didn't do this much. Because she didn't.

"In a tiny village like ours, you kind of got assigned stuff like that as kids," she added, trying to explain a little better so she didn't sound like a complete idiot. "Our older sister's the pretty one, I'm the rowdy one, our little sister's the smart, quiet one. You know?"

Re: Round 4: Jeremy Darling / Zee stars_and_money February 16 2013, 23:40:23 UTC

"That's weird." He didn't mean it in a bad way, just... it just seemed strange to him. "I have four siblings, and we don't really have anything like that."

He paused, and reconsidered. "Well, okay... Patrick's the politician, and Bryan's religious, and Karen does girl stuff... But I don't know where that puts me and Jules. That's my twin, by the way. Juliet."

Re: Round 4: Jeremy Darling / Zee 3girls_1core February 16 2013, 23:45:06 UTC

"The Juliet from the play?" she asked, right before the gong sounded. "Aww, no more time."

On the one hand, Jeremy seemed really was easy to talk to. On the other, maybe now she could stop sounding like an idiot.

"Good talking to you."

Re: Round 4: Jeremy Darling / Zee stars_and_money February 17 2013, 00:21:15 UTC

Jeremy was easy to talk to, because he was easy. In every sense of the word.

"Yes, that Juliet," Jeremy confirmed, before nodding. "You too! I'll see you around."
