MHA #6, Thursday Evening - PARTY!

Liam and Verity had decided to celebrate the whole 'officially moving in together' with a housewarming of sorts. Never mind that even before the rest of his stuff had made it over there, Liam had basically been living at the apartment in practice if not in name. Look, they wanted to throw a party, they were throwing a party. 'Housewarming' was just a convenient excuse.

The weapons that usually were strewn about the apartment had all been stashed in the bedroom, and there was a good selection of food and drinks (both alcoholic and non) laid out on the kitchen table. They might be in debt to the various restaurants in Fandom for providing the spread, but no one wanted to nosh on Verity's "leftover Chinese food fajita specials." The mice had even been bribed with a selection of the appetizers to stay away from the table of food. (They had not, however, been expressly forbidden from trying to convince anyone to give them food once it had left the table, so... fair warning.)

Coats go in the spare room and please don't touch the Barbie Dream House. Unless invited to by the mice, of course.

[ooc: up early for SP because things like timezones and work get in the way. open to all friends, neighbours, ex-housemates, coworkers, friends-of-friends, etc. basically, if you're an adult you got an invite.]

"I mean, it'd be kind of sad if you didn't know what you were doing with your tools, just saying," Beau said. So very innocently.

"Yeah, I kn--" Wait for it. "Beau!"

Little slow on the uptake today, Fjordie.

"Ha," Beau crowed, with a shit-eating grin to match. "I'm disappointed, man. Step your game up."

"Workin' on it," Fjord mumbled.

Really, it was a wonder his ears were not actually, literally on fire.

He coughed.

"I guess now's about two beats too late to say I know what I'm doin' with my tools just fine, huh?"

Lil' bit, chum.

"I mean . . ." Beau made a show of sighing and very visibly considering the question. "I could maybe be convinced to give you the benefit of the doubt? Just this once though."

"All I need is once," Fjord decided, grinning at her.

Buddy.

". . . yeah, that's kind of sad, man."

You were getting the most pitying look, Fjord.

And Fjord... was right back to being puzzled.

Well, he'd tried. And now he was clearing his throat a little.

"You, uh, you missed accidental pirates in my class on Tuesday," he said, going for the complete topic-swap and unwittingly touching on what was basically the story of their life going forward. Oops.

"Fjord. That kind of thing doesn't, like, happen by accident," Beau told him like a know-it-all 22 year old.

With no sense of irony, apparently.

"Wait, was this a Danger Shop thing? Because that would be the only exception."

Not really, no. The as yet unassembled collective chaotic energy of the Mighty Nein would be the other exception.

"It was a Danger Shop thing," Fjord replied. "Accidental piracy isn't a fuckin' thing unless the shop decides the fuckin' cargo ship is now a pirate ship, and singing's got to happen."

Nope. Sorry guys.

"You can't accidentally raid a ship."

Well.

"I mean . . ." Beau reached up to fiddle with one of her earrings. "The singing part's at least logical, right? That's like a sailor thing?"
built_fjord_tough: (Determined)

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] built_fjord_tough 2019-03-29 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Fjord looked mildly pained.

"Maybe not quite like this." A pause. "There was choreography, Beau."
notallbluemonks: (Yikes)

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] notallbluemonks 2019-03-29 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
". . . why." Was Beau staring in horror? Just a bit. "How'd the kids handle it?"

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] built_fjord_tough 2019-03-29 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't fuckin' know," Fjord complained. "I think mostly they were confused."

Well. The ones who had been in class that day, anyway.

"Keyleth did her level best to convince them that piracy just wasn't the way."

What a good kid.

Beau snorted lightly. "That kid's going to give herself a stress breakdown someday from trying to do the right thing all the time," she said, "but she's okay, I guess. I kinda cornered her after class and made her go talk to the guidance counselor, by the way, it's why I didn't drop by. Shit, this is what I get for trying to do something nice, I miss the singing pirates."

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] built_fjord_tough 2019-03-29 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
"You miss the singing pirate," Fjord agreed, amused. And then paused. "The guidance counselor? Somethin' the matter she needed help with?"

Low WIS strikes again.

[personal profile] notallbluemonks 2019-03-29 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Beau shrugged. "I could tell she's been stressing out over this class, I'm not above providing my own motivations, and anyway Kar's kind of frustrated that the kids don't, you know, go and talk to her on their own initiative. Kinda works out for everyone that way."
built_fjord_tough: (Side-eye)

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] built_fjord_tough 2019-03-29 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Fjord's brow furrowed a little.

"The class is stressing her out? She say why? Or is that somethin' I should talk to her about myself?"

It wasn't difficult to see that she was fretting, but he'd kind of figured it was the same low-level 'wtf Jatila' stress that he had when trying to account for kobold murder and the like from week to week.

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] notallbluemonks 2019-03-29 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Beau shrugged. "I didn't really ask for details, 'cause I don't actually care that much, but I know someone taking shit way too seriously when I see them. Rogues are gonna rogue, we know that, but I get the feeling she sees it as like a personal failure. Might be worth talking to her about, and that's way more your department than mine."

Please, Beauregard, you cared more than you were letting on.

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] built_fjord_tough 2019-03-29 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Might be," Fjord allowed, not about to press Beau into admitting that she cared. For all that his wisdom stat sucked on a good day, Beau was one of the few people he generally did get. "Maybe I'll ask her about it next week. See if she wants to get some of it off her chest."

[personal profile] notallbluemonks 2019-03-29 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Keep an eye on that," Beau agreed. "But who knows, she might be okay after talking to Kar. She's pretty great."

Just find an excuse to brag there, Beau, why don't you? Because you can't express yourself emotionally in a healthy way?
built_fjord_tough: (Side-eye)

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] built_fjord_tough 2019-03-29 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Don't really know her," Fjord admitted, scratching his chin thoughtfully. "She's the guidance counselor, huh?"
notallbluemonks: (Arms Crossed)

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] notallbluemonks 2019-03-29 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, that's her." Beau's nonchalant tone was mostly convincing, at least to anyone who didn't know her well enough. "I'm, uh, not sure anyone should actually be allowed to be that cute, but, y'know. Like I think she might actually be made of sunshine."

Kind of like Jester, really.
built_fjord_tough: (Smile)

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] built_fjord_tough 2019-03-29 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Jester was basically some kind of skippy blue sunflower, it was true.

Maybe with a slightly more prevalent fixation on dicks, mind.

"It's the cute ones you gotta look out for," Fjord replied, grinning faintly. "But, hell, if you like her, she must be good people."

He had so much faith in you, Beau. So much.
notallbluemonks: (Smug)

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[personal profile] notallbluemonks 2019-03-29 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
. . . yeah, that would definitely be a point of difference between them.

"You say that like I'm some kind of good judge of character," Beau said, snorting. Mmm, deflection. "I'm not, but you're also not wrong about that."

She'd argue that was misplaced faith, Fjord.
