South Attic - Door's open but keep it down - Vala, come back later, please

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka heads back to her room to tidy up and put Lee's girly things away and hide the stuff she bought for Lee until he's ready to talk. Without looking to see whether he's in there, she closes the door to her bedroom, to give him and her some privacy. If he's there. He'll come out if and when he wants to talk. Or maybe he's already at class.

Janet'll be by at some point, and Cally, and who knows who else. Hopefully Callisto and 'yana won't mind all the company if they need to study.

She hangs a sign on the door that reads:

Door's Open But Keep it Down
Vala, please come back later



Possible smut in here farther down. You've been warned.

*DEATH walks in, wearing a red wig (if you can see) and a floral print robe. His scythe has colored streamers hanging from his that read: DEATH FOR HOMECOMING QUEEN. He seems to have become more flamboyant since his nomination for Homecoming Queen.*

(OOC: If we assume this happens before my conversations with Jack and Janet, I'm not busy. But I can't handle a three-parter right now. So, come on in and act like you don't see them.)


Hey there. Come on in. I don't have a lot of time, but now's as good a time as any.

*Holds up a copy of Seventeen, which materializes out of his robe. If you can't see him, the magazine just appears and seems to hover there. He seems slightly aggitated.*



*DEATH pauses, as if the word is unfamilar*

Beka stifles a laugh.

"Well. Courting is...complicated. It involves spending time with someone. Getting to know them. The things they like, the things they don't like.

You pay small courteous attentions to them, to let them know you're thinking of them. Pay compliments. And so on."

*The pages in Seventeen turn quickly*



*DEATH pauses again, unfamilar with the term*



*The aura of creepiness around DEATH seems vaugely energized, as though DEATH were figeting, if DEATH were to do those sorts of things.*

Hm. D's brother had a thing for silver roses. She may like roses too. They're usually a safe bet. And D's more of girl than me, so she probably likes flowers.

*smiles at the creepy irony of this entire conversation, Beka Valentine giving romance advice to anyone, let alone Death*

Relax, pal. I think D likes you. She's a bit on the odd side, and the Amberites all have a thing for primal forces. I'd say that's you. Why not try being yourself?

...

Just. Don't try to scare her. D doesn't scare easy. And she'll get mad. Remember when I laughed at you? She'll do worse.

It's all right. I didn't mind. It was just funny. *smiles*

Is there anything else I can answer?

*flips some more pages*

*watches Death with amusement*

I'd say go alone. Or double date with another couple. Don't bring your friends. It'll just make her feel less important.

*DEATH leaves the room, his streamers trailing behind him*

Beka shakes her head at the retreating figure. She probably should be creeped out that Death just asked for relationship advice, but then again, she's got a longstanding relationship with Death. So maybe it's not all that weird.

((OOC: *laughs* Well, you are giving advice to a giant skeleton doing his best to be fashionable. It may not be all your fault.))

((OOC: the thing about not bringing friends was probably halfway decent. *laughs*))
