Ugh...

[Guy groans as he stares in horror at the large ship in the distance. He knows he'll have to get back on that damned boat soon, and the thought of it makes his stomach turn. Which is a pity, of course, since he's spent the past few days lying in bed, trying to calm his poor, seasick tummy down.]

It figures that the moment I started feeling

[...Well, Archer's a little pissy after losing in the casino for a long while, and comes onto the beach spotting a kid.]

Hey, kid. I bet I can build a bigger castle than you.

[duchess_archer]

[Archer is shoveling large clods at a time, relying on his greater arm strength to, hey, not look like an idiot like that kid-dude, hah hah. Well, actually, he looks a little like an idiot too.

When said kid pauses, though, he senses an opening and starts digging even harder. Only after a few seconds does he register that there were words. He doesn't stop, though, while saying:]

Oh.

Yeah, I don't either.

[ooc: no problem!]

[sir_stabby]

[Guy shrugs his shoulders.]

Eh, fuck it then. [He says, smirking. Eight months in the castle, and the only modern thing he's truly mastered is the profanity. He then looks over at Archer and snickers as a wonderfully evil idea floats through his mind.

Perhaps a little distraction will aid my efforts? He thinks.

He looks over into the distance and stares at the empty beach, pretending to be as interested as he possibly can. He had to sound believable, after all...]

Wow. She's hot! Tell me Archer: do women here normally swim in the nude? Or is that naked woman over there just a whore?

[ooc: Whew! Thanks! :D]

[duchess_archer]

[Well, that one will work pretty well. It's slightly diminished by his child-like voice, which is actually slightly creepy to hear saying that. And Archer is at least ten percent aware that this might be a trick... But he doesn't pay much attention to that.

He turns around mid-shovel and scans the horizon for a long second before turning back and digging again.]

Tricky, asshole, but you're opening a door here you'll regret.

[sir_stabby]

[While Archer's turned around and looking for the naked woman that isn't there, Guy's shoveling as much sand onto his "castle," laughing his ass off all the while. It's not just the fact that trick actually worked for once, it was how horrible - and yet hysterical - that line sounded coming from his squeaky little voice. The shock value alone is a wonderful distraction, he thinks...]

Whatever you say, mate. [He says, catching his breath for a moment before bursting out in laughter again.]

[ooc: Feel free to prank or cheat Guy in retaliation! *evil mun is evil* >;D]

[duchess_archer]

[Archer takes a moment while the brat is laughing to size up the situation, and then at the crest of one of those hysterical laughs, he casually extends a leg and viciously kicks Guy's mound of sand, then turns right around nonchalantly and goes back to digging his own castle, whistling cheerfully.]
