[ As the one responsible for this whole situation, he answers the door. Unawares. Bring it. ]

Oh! Hello, Basch.

[ This is not unusual because Basch visits all the time. Sometimes to eat pancakes.... ]

armorumvigiles October 14 2011, 21:03:42 UTC

[NO NOT THE PANCAKES BASCH IS NOT THAT MASOCHISTIC

also why Basch would come to this room knowing that Larsa lives here is a complete and total mystery.

or, you know, he's come to complain. Gasp! Basch, complain? Pigs may fly.]

Your Excellency.

[But as always, he starts out formal, never forgetting to greet someone of higher standing than him.]

A word, if I may?

halcyonism October 14 2011, 21:56:40 UTC

[ ACTUALLY LARSA MOVED RECENTLY. Maybe this is Basch's first time visiting the new bachelor pad. Maybe Basch is feeling vindictive. A mystery indeed. ]

Yes...?

[ Officially giving up on convincing Basch to be less formal, he steps out into the hall. ]

armorumvigiles October 14 2011, 23:40:54 UTC

[He clears his throat, already perfectly-formed lineface turning even more intense in its austerity.]

You have selected my job poorly for this month, m'lord.

[ Opens the door, cigarette hanging from his mouth like a badass. Or something like that. ]

Yeah, what is it?

armorumvigiles October 14 2011, 21:06:07 UTC

[Alright. He's here. He has a job.

Now, what do.]

Good afternoon.

[NO BASCH NO THAT IS NOT AN INSULT. He stares for a moment, brows furrowed as he ponders what to say.

GIVE HIM A SEC]

speechacts October 14 2011, 21:14:03 UTC

[ PUFF. PUFF. ]

...You need something?

[ No. No good afternoon back. HE'S BUSY. ]

armorumvigiles October 14 2011, 21:24:01 UTC

[hdu Dojima, WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS!!

but okay, Basch has given this some thought now, so:]

...Smoking is detrimental to your health.

[He reaches out and takes the cigarette from Dojima.]

I am doing this as an excuse to use this icon 11ady October 14 2011, 21:12:38 UTC

[she slips on her way out of the shower; hurriedly putting her dripping her hair up in a towel and throwing a bathrobe on]

[damn, she just got off another sixteen hour shift and taking a shower in not-vodka is something she really appreciates after along day, bro; what gives?]

[also, do you not know how to use a doorbell? 8|]

This better be good.

[that's not a politically happy face opening the door; nope]

lmfao what is Basch's life armorumvigiles October 14 2011, 21:22:26 UTC

[AS IF THIS JOB COULD BE ANY MORE EMBARRASSING

He knocked!! He knocked, okay!!! The usually-stoic knight freezes up for just a moment upon seeing Une come out in a bathrobe, takes a step back (as if distancing is the polite thing to do), and says a hasty:]

I did not expect you to answer the door in such a state-- I apologize.

[wow so much for insulting]

idek dude /pats 11ady October 14 2011, 21:32:38 UTC

[you're talking to someone who doesn't really view modesty as an issue so she's just standing there, water dripping from her hair under the towel, hands on her hips as the bathrobe hangs loosely around her baring a little cleavage]

Is there an emergency, Mr. Basch?

armorumvigiles October 14 2011, 21:37:26 UTC

[He politely averts his gaze from her and gives himself more room, caring more about the fact that he intruded upon her time than the fact that he does, in fact, need to insult her.]

Nay, it was intended to be a part of my monthly job.

...But it seems I have chosen an inappropriate time.

[ Shiro answers the door promptly. Perhaps he was on the way out? ]

... How may I help you?

armorumvigiles October 14 2011, 23:49:39 UTC

[There's a pause as Basch regards the other man carefully.]

...A moment of your time, if I may.

fujimoto_shiro October 15 2011, 04:17:22 UTC

I'm all ears.

armorumvigiles October 15 2011, 20:18:32 UTC

[He can't think of an insult right off the bat, so he consults his employer list of insults.]

...

"I never forget a face, but for you, I'll make an exception."

[Rhyme opens the door in a moment dressed up as a little vampire. She was about to head to work]

Oh, hello. Can I help you sir?

armorumvigiles October 14 2011, 23:51:01 UTC

[Oh god, this is terrible-- does he really have to insult a little girl that he's just met?

He looks at her, and then at his Guide, where he's pulled up a list of insults from his employer ('Insults.com').]

...

"A sharp tongue does not mean you have a keen mind."

lookingforabeat October 14 2011, 23:56:00 UTC

[Sharp tongue? Huh? She doesn't know why you're here, mister, but she nods.]

No, I suppose it doesn't. Though, if you have a sharp tongue, you should be careful what you say. You could end up hurting someone's feelings on accident.

armorumvigiles October 15 2011, 20:27:43 UTC

[He supposes that that was less of an insult and more of a saying... Oh well.]

That is true enough.

...I am glad to see that I did not unwittingly hurt your feelings.
