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.]

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."

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.

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.

"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."

"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?

"Don't really know her," Fjord admitted, scratching his chin thoughtfully. "She's the guidance counselor, huh?"

"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.

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.

. . . 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.

See, she'd argue that. And then she'd turn out to be his major moral compass when he was struggling with the possibility of becoming a horrible murder monster. So.

"Well, then in this one case, I'll take it on good faith that you're a good judge of guidance counselors," Fjord replied easily. "And call that good."

He would not. You were now a good judge of people, Beau. Sorry 'bout that.

That was your low wisdom stat talking again, Fjord. Or so the metagaming pigeon might argue in Beau's voice, at least.

"I mean, I might be a little biased," Beau said, oh so casually. "But my point stands."

Hey, hey, guess who was also going to be struggling with the possibility of becoming a horrible murder monster? Funny, that.

They could struggle together! With occasionally mixed results!

"You come by that bias honestly, at least?"

What did that even mean?

". . . well, that's a new one," Beau decided. Her being accused of coming by something honestly. Really now. "I'll take it."

[personal profile] built_fjord_tough 2019-03-29 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Really, though, it would be hard to come across a bias like that dishonestly anyway.

"Damn right you will," Fjord agreed. "Maybe before I chat with Keyleth I'll see what this friend of yours suggests. I'm trying to challenge these kids, but it's not supposed to stress them outside of class, too."

"Some people are going to take stuff with them outside of class no matter what you do," Beau told him. "I think it's some kind of, like, nerd thing?"

Not that she would personally know. Ahem.

"Is that what that is? And here I figured she was just working up a good solid grudge against rogues."

Sure, that'd stick.

"Could be that too," Beau conceded.

Hahaha nope. Though even Beau would probably be impressed by Keyleth's capacity to hold a grudge under certain circumstances.
