week 4; handcuffed to roxy

[tevinteriscoming]

[Shortly after the commotion with the AI clears up, the only thing for it is to get themselves away from all of the drama and try to adapt. Dorian has spoken to Roxy a few times, mostly during trials, but he doesn't know much about her. She's another teenage girl on a ship full of teenagers, and he would very much prefer not to be handcuffed to her - if he has to be handcuffed to anyone at all, he'd at least choose someone making jokes about it towards doesn't feel vaguely inappropriate. It makes him feel so old.

But the best way to deal with this will be to get along, perhaps even get each other's "approval" up, whatever that means.

The parlor is as good a place as any to sit down and actually have a conversation.]

Well, then. I suppose we'll be getting to know one another.

[ dorian may think the ship is full of teenagers, but to roxy it feels full of adults. do you know how many people she's had to cross off as "too old" to date dave in her quest for that nonsense? so many. everyone is so old. she is not used to adults being an actual thing, like at all.

roxy would also love to make jokes about this (who wouldn't want to be handcuffed to a handsome man ok) but even she knows there's an awkward line between appropriate and kinda not. she'll even be nice and avoid saying anything flirty despite the temptation, you're welcome dorian. this could be so much worse for them both.

obviously "approval" is like. uh. friendship stats? like in a shitty sim game. alice has turned murderspace into a shitty sim game. ]

I mean, unless you wanna ignore each other casually for days, but that might be kinda tough. [ JUST MAYBE ] Uuuuh, we could play Rapid Fire Question Time? Or, idk, two lies and a truth? Strip poker? Ok that one was a joke.

[Oh, she can flirt, he's perfectly harmless in that regard. He would also prefer to be handcuffed to a handsome man. He even laughs a little at the strip poker joke; it's okay if she said it first.]

I'm an utter novice at poker, you'd have me at a disadvantage. And I never bet when I'm at a disadvantage.

I have my orders to get to know you, so you can ask me whatever you like. I may cheat and peek at the tablet, mind.

[ at least he isn't a stodgey old man, then. ]

No? But then how would you ever learn?

Ok, uh. What's up with the mustache? It's very Monsieur Villain, don'tcha think?

[tevinteriscoming]

Monsieur Villain? [Feigning shock.] Accuse me of villainy if you must, but heaven forbid I be an Orlesian villain.

You know, I have it on good authority that many think my mustache is rather dashing. It draws the eye to my exquisite cheekbones. Now, I'd like to know. Why wizards?
