shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

[He smiles wider, then sips at his (still very fizzy) drink. It is apparently endless and everfillng.]

 

Yes. What have you got there, and will you share?

 

Yes... it all seems very upsetting. Um. Am I bothering you?

 

You know, I haven't the slightest idea?

[He stares at his glass, then shrugs and manifests a new one for Libre.]

Not at all, darling. I would like to ask though, is all Camien makeup religiously significant, or is it secular in use now?

 

There is secular makeup! Religious makeup is red and has specific patterns.

 

Good to know. Do you have the patterns on hand so I know which ones to avoid?

 

Historical patterns, too?

-She touches her own lip markings.-

 

If you like. I'm mostly interested in avoiding a confrontation with that idiot peacock whenever possible.

 

-Accepts it and sniffs- Well it sure is something, Thanks. And the wrath of Nichrome has been called down upon our hackers, so no need to worry.

 

-She actually laughs.-

Oh, she's not one to talk! Um. So I've heard.

 

I appreciate the reassurance. I have nothing but faith in the comms staff.

[He smiles again.] Well then, isn't that interesting? Still, what little advantage over her I can gain, I will take.

 

I am so very hurt, sweetspark. How could you. I am trying! So hard! To be the bigger mech here!
[.... that may be hard, Eyefeather because you are comparatively very tiny in built. It's not said maliciously, she's just a dumbfuck, as usual.]

 

Here, let me comm over the patterns.

 

-Archive shrinks into herself.-

 

Not that hard, clearly. I thought you knew how this place worked?

[Bland stare. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiip.]

Thank you, my dear.

 

I don't mind pulling down disproportionate pay for all the work I don't do, but...

! Only red, or red is for specific figures?

 

-Archive.exe has stopped responding! She just looks vaguely worried instead.-

 

[He casually sidles over to her, and gives off the air of someone who fully intends to take a bullet if necessary, even though she is much larger than he is.]

These really are fascinating patterns.

 

Wh- hold on, rusty oldtimer, I'll be right with you.

I-... was it the tone I used? I was joking! I'm not that much of a glitch.
[She looks like she knows that the answer to that is "well, actually."]

 

Yes, um, they're developed from, from...

Er... I'm fine!
