And then he wonders why he's treated like a child half the time....
*Vlad sighs and shakes his head, then sits and begins reading* |
*artemis has been watching this entire time, having given up on trying to keep any sort of calmness in this place*
*moves over next to Vlad as he pulls out a book* Criminal Psychology again? |
Yes. *Vlad doesn't look up from his book, but instead continues "reading"* I've reached the part where some of us are ... misunderstood, hopeless souls who long for a second chance.
*raises an eyebrow and shakes his head* I believe they left out the part where some of us just want our observers to think that. |
*smirks as Vlad mentions only wanting observers to THINK he cares about a second chance* Ah I'd imagine you're part of that group. Misunderstood, hopeless souls. Hmph... sounds like bad poetry by a fifteen year old to me.
|
It is. *slight smile* You'd be surprised how well it works. Everyone's eager to make connections to those around them. If you look for something good, you're bound to find it ... even if it doesn't exist. Assumptions are made ....
*trailing off, Vlad set the book aside* And then they're left thinking they understand. I am not part of this category. *his slight smile returns* I obviously do not care what others think of me, particularly agents and doctors who pry into my thoughts. |
I know it works *smirks slightly back at Vlad* I've used it once or twice *thankful no one is paying attention to them*
*surprised Vlad actually set his book aside to talk to her. Progress* Yes you are right, people are always hoping to find something deeper, its what gives our lives meaning. *nods, knowing Vlad doesn't care for the opinions of others* I've noticed. Well you don't have to worry about me, I have no intention to pry into your thoughts unless you want me too. I think learning about people through conversation is much more satisfying. |
Blinks at Sycom being pulled away, he leans back casually on the couch. He slips the blade from his boot, once more occupying himself with messing with it.
|
Unless I want you to? *Vlad tilts his head at the comment, then smiles and shakes his head* It's strange to think that an agent has resorted to playing the victim to get her way.
*shifts attention to her more fully* Why bother coming here if the chaos bothers you? Weren't you told that there was no stopping us here? |
*gives Discord puppy dog eyes but it gladly stolen away by Vex* I'll forgive you on one condition... *he looks at Artemis and Vlad* You tell me if they've banged. I can't read dem sexual tensions whatsoever.
*eternal facepalming over Sycom* *looks over at Shadow* *winks* *resumes facepalming* |
And what is that? *she no sooner asked and he replied with a ridiculous question* You have got to be kidding… *sighs, rubbing her temples* Out of all the conditions you could give and you come up with something stupid. *mumbles a bit to herself, ‘sometimes I wonder what it is that I see in you.’* If I must answer your question I would guess no they haven’t, but it’s possibly in the future.
|
//squirms over to the couch and clambers into spot next to Discord, nudging him over to make room for himself
|
He looks to the squirmer next to him, "ello."
|
*shrugs at his inquiry about playing the victim* not necessarily here, per se, but I have done it in the past.
*thinks about his next question for a moment* the chaos might bother me, but the curiosity is stronger. Usually thats what makes me do things *carefully choosing what she says to Vlad so as not to give herself away too much* |
Lying isn't well thought of, agent.
*he smirks slightly at her words, his gaze intense* Your curiosity will be the death of you if you let it wander here. *there was a knowing look in his eyes as he reached for his book once again* Be careful who and what you pursue with your curiosity, woman. |
I'm not lying.... *trails off, realizing he's probably definitely playing with her*
I'm aware. *says simply, not to be intimidated by him* I'm also aware of needing to be careful, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to ask questions. I see no harm in discussing books with you. *notices he's starting to go back to his book, and not wanting to be seen as needing his attention, Artemis pulls out her own titled Human Nature: A View of Society Through the Lens of Past Mythologies, and opens to her marked page* |
I'm placing bets on Vlad and Artemis hooking up. I'll toss $500 into the pot.
Oh, oh! I wanna bet too! I'll match your guess. I'll also bet $500 toward a hookup. I'll be their lives that they don't hook up. *white as a ghost* Yeah, it states in the rule book that any agent caught with a criminal shall face death by the hands of the criminal. Thereafter, the criminal shall be killed. So glad I'm not an agent anymore. *clings to Shadow* |
*glances in Daliah's direction* Ah, the great one has deemed it worthy to come and visit.
*sets his book down again, this time looking annoyed* Foolish questions are to be ignored. That was none of your business, Sycom. *there's a sharp cold in his arm suddenly* It will never happen. Stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. |
*pokes the white Sycom*
*glances over at Daliah* What happens if the criminal refuses to kill the agent? |
I get to kill them! Because no f---s are given!
*looks at Reino then to Daliah* Sounds good to me. If the criminal can't do it, I'll have Reino do it. I look forward to killing Artemis and leaving poor Vlad helpless. *shudders* You are one scary man, Reino. You people *points at Sycom and Daliah* made me this way! *nods and crosses arms over chest* |
*dark glare at Reino* You'd like that, wouldn't you? Me. Helpless. It has yet to happen. And nothing you do will make it come around any sooner. *Vlad looks to Daliah sternly* It won't be happening.
|
He watches the other's little match, fiddling with his knife peacefully.
|
*rouses from her book once it finally hits her the conversation thats happening* umm excuse me... pretty sure i have a say in this too. I have no intention of sleeping with a criminal. or anyone here. *returns to book refusing to show how awkward she feels*
|
Rieno might be scary, but I think I'm starting to like him. *walks away from Sycom, pulling out one of her knives*
*leans back against a wall twirling the knife in her hand* *thinks to herself...finding love is a silly notion that will only bring about unwanted emotions. love isn't something you need to survive.* |
*gestures toward Artemis as she proves his point, and seems completely immune to the awkwardness of the situation*
*looks to Vex* He's fond of tasers. Just keep that in mind should you ever get to be friends with him. |
*glances at Vlad* Really now that is interesting to know. *grins slightly* So what you're trying to say is that Reino is a masochist?
