==> FT: Give a shit.
Your name is GAIL MCBRIDE.
The sum total of shits you have given up until this point is two. That does not change because some snappy arrow command is up in your business dishing out orders. That arrow and its ilk can sit there 'till the end of time pointing off to the right and making an ass of itself. An ass that you have metaphysically kicked by not giving a shit about it. [/center] Gail had just finished a shift at her job, and was taking a moment to relax. To rest. It was weird, but it felt natural. Empty. Quiet. That was enough for now. She was leaning on at the edge of a pier, looking out over the sea. Or a lake. Whatever. She had never bothered keeping track of that sort of thing. It's all just bodies of water, and every body of water is just full of things killing things no matter how peaceful it looks. But it smells like salt and hell, it's kind of nice.
This is bullshit, Gail thought. She didn't have time to waste. She didn't have anything to waste but shit, there wasn't anything to do, either. So she just stood there. Leaning. Watching the water, listening to the seagulls. Shit living and dying and dropping like flies all around her. Everyone around her was a streak of bad luck away from leaping straight into the waiting pit of hell.
Everyone but her. She was fucking invincible. Because that shit?
She still wasn't giving it. Shits live and die on the edge of a sword.

==> FA: Make people give shenanigans.
Your name is CAEL BRANCO.
You give a whole bunch of shenanigans. You give so many shenanigans, in fact, that you hardly have any left for yourself! But that's okay because you don't really need shenanigans, but boy does it make you mad when people don't give shenanigans about ANYTHING. People need PASSION and FIRE in their lives, gosh darn it!
So you have made it your mission in life to make people PASSIONATE.
OH YEAH!!!!!! [/center] HAR! Work? What's that!? Cael didn't really work anymore. Lawyers made a lot of money, apparently, even when all they did was delegate. All she did was EXTREME ROLLERBLADE and sometimes just CASUALLY ROLLERBLADE IN A DYNAMIC FASHION just for the heck of it. Because dang, EXTREME ROLLERBLADING can be exhausting.
SO EXHAUSTING, in fact, that Cael's exhaustion almost made her crash into the railing overlooking the sea! Uh, lake. Or pond. Honestly, she didn't know what the fluff it was. She didn't pay attention to such SILLY THINGS. There were too many EXTREME THINGS to do and so many EMBARRASSING SITUATIONS to put Cash in.
Hoo boy, did she love embarrassing Cash.
And herself, apparently! Because Cael, after almost toppling into the water, felt the sudden urge to start a CONVERSATION. And she'd be danged if she let such a WONDERFUL URGE just slip away!
So she glanced around, saw a PRETTY AWESOME CHICK just standing there not doing anything, and decided that CONVERSATIONS JUST HAD TO BE STARTED.
CAEL: hey straaaaaanger hey listen
CAEL: im cael okay
CAEL: you should like
CAEL: talk with me sistah!!!!!!

==> React to shenanigans.
Jegus arrow get over it. This girl is about to take instructions from a goddamn arrow about as quickly as she's going to take off her sunglasses.
That is to say, SHE'S NOT GOING TO TAKE INSTRUCTIONS AT ALL. [/center] Years of honed reflexes in the fine art of forcing a ribbonlike resemblance on people warned Gail that someone was coming. Recklessly. At ramming speed. On rollerblades off all things. She kept staring at the ocean because that's what she came here to do dammit. If she'd wanted to take a few introductory lessons in "watching a pink-haired ditz crash into a pier railing" she'd have signed right the fuck on up for one of those but did she? No. That would be stupid. She leaned back from the rail as it shook when the ditz rammed into the rail and shook it, then leaned back again. The faintest frown creased Gail's face.
Then the ditz started talking.
God dammit.
gail: what
gail: no fuck off

==> FA: Take offense.
What no! That's just silly, why would you take offense? Okay, admittedly you aren't pleased with the lady's choice of language, but you know people swear and you guess you can be okay with it sometimes.
BESIDES, she is rejecting your FRIENDLY OVERTURES, so obviously the only solution is to be EVEN MORE FRIENDLY!!!!!! [/center] Cael slid over to the stranger girl, rolling on her SWEET BLADES like she was BORN TO DO IT. She pursed her lips and leaned towards the girl, her face pinching up like she was trying to figure out a REALLY HARD PUZZLE. In the meantime, she'd just be all over this chick's personal space like it was a REALLY AWESOME NEW PAIR OF SKATES.
CAEL: language missy!!!!!!
CAEL: but anyhoo!
CAEL: you could at least tell me your name sistah!
CAEL: i mean were gonna be such great buddies
CAEL: i gotta at least know your name!

==> FT: all right, you win, do whatever.
More like it bitch. [/center] Gail glanced sideways at the pink-haired ditz named Cael. Of course the other girl wouldn't see that since Gail's shades obscured her eyes pretty well, which was exactly the way she liked it. Gail looked back at the ocean/lake/body of water/whatever again, leaning forward onto the railing and assuming a jutting posture, slightly angling her body away from the girl in such a fashion that HOPEFULLY conveyed the sheer degree of not wanting anything the fuck to do with this girl that she was feeling.
gail: my language is fine
gail: im gail
gail: were not buddies

==> FA: Get frustrated and leave.
HECK NO!!!!!! The BRANCO SISTAH NEVER GIVES UP! [/center] Oh pooie. The girl turned away. But hey, at least Cael got a name!
She skated over to Gail's other side and grinned a huge grin, patting the top of her BEHATTED HEAD.
CAEL: but foul language is so unbecoming of pretty ladies like yourself!
CAEL: oh gosh that was sexist of me wasnt it!
CAEL: HAR!!!!!!
CAEL: anyway miss gail, we are not great buddies just yet but we will be, just you wait!
CAEL: oh man this is soooooo great
CAEL: hey you should come over to my place
CAEL: i mean you got nothing else to do right
CAEL: and i proooooomise im not a creep or anything!!!!!!

==> FT: so what's the plan? ignore her?
Yeah probably. [/center] Despite all reason the girl shoved her face right up in Gail's again and patted her on the head. A single eyebrow raised over the brim of Gail's shades. If the girl knew Gail better she would understand just how enormous a reaction this is, but she doesn't, so she doesn't. Gail still didn't turn from the ocean, but did uncross her arms. She was a little overwhelmed by all the girl's talking--it was just nonstop jeez this is exactly why she never hung out with people so much in the first place. She almost felt threatened, but ... no, not really. Whatever this girl was, it definitely wasn't violent. At least, not right now.
gail: fuck fuck fuck
gail: hope that didnt shock you
gail: we wont be
gail: buddies that is
gail: fuck
gail: now im fucking blabbin

==> FA: Puff up and swear at her.
Puff up, yes. Your chest swells like some poor puffer fish just got the crud scared out of him, and your GENEROUS BOSOM certainly makes it look like you puffed up that much more.
But swear? Gosh no, that would be terrible! You really don't approve of such language. But you guess you can deal with it, especially since Gail has QUITE THE FOUL MOUTH. [/center] Cael sighed and shook her head, casually slinging an arm around Gail's shoulders. She really had to wonder about such standoffish people. It was sad, really! People were meant to be social and crash into things and start conversations with totally random people that they had absolutely no connections to! If only Cael could make her see...
CAEL: nope im not shocked at all because it looks like you are quite the foul chickadee!
CAEL: but thats okay babe
CAEL: even if you dont think were buddies
CAEL: i know that we are and thats enough for me!!!!!!
CAEL: and really sistah
CAEL: if thats babbling for you i have to wonder what youre normally like!
CAEL: or what youre like when you flip your lid!
CAEL: but aaaaaanyway, about coming to my place?
CAEL: you should so
CAEL: totally
CAEL: come!!!!!!

==> FT: be flustered
what no that's stupid.
you don't get flustered.
that just doesn't happen stop being stupid arrow. [/center] Gail stopped ignoring the girl after a while, because by that point ignoring her wound up involving more effort than just looking at the attention-starved pink-headed rollerblading generously endowed always talking girl. She looked at Cael, who had just wrapped her arm around Gail's shoulders. Gail honestly wanted to use it as an excuse to strife but that would've been stupid. She didn't like being around people but she wasn't some sort of cooped up idiot without a clue as to how to conduct herself. She just wasn't that interested in conducting herself around people.
At all.
gail: no
gail: none of those things
gail: ugh this is weird

==> FA: Pout.
No probs, arrow bud. You are the QUEEN of pouting. If you weren't, you would've been FIRED a long time ago! HAR!!!!!! [/center] Cael promptly obeyed the command and pouted, pulling her arm from around Gail's shoulders and folding them across her chest instead. She ignored her new buddy for a total of ten seconds before hooking her arm around Gail's, her smile bubbling up like it had never left. Hoo boy, was this going to be fun!
CAEL: weird? youre weird you big butt!!!!!!
CAEL: oh hey i didnt mean that okay!
CAEL: youre not a big butt in fact you dont even have a big butt!
CAEL: your butt is perfectly lovely!!!!!!
CAEL: anyway lets goooooo!
CAEL: you might as well walk me home right i mean youve kept me here for soooooo long with youre talking!
CAEL: really sistah its the polite thing to do!
And with that, Cael began dragging the poor LONE WOLF in the direction of the hotel.

==> FT: strife
okay that's cute and all arrow trying to figure out what's gonna happen.
but the truth is there's no way you're gonna start strifing over something so stupid.
though you're starting to fucking consider it. [/center] Gail actually looked in surprise at Cael, which was all but unprecedented. This was definitely weird. She'd never met anyone who was just so goddamn pushy. Most people get the message if you fucking turn your back on them and shove a sword in their face. Except she hadn't shoved a sword in Cael's face yet, for reasons absolutely unknown to her which she had no intention of trying to figure out. Instead she just sort of.
Twisted and.
Flashstep'd her way out of the other girl's arm. She considered pulling out her sword again. Instead she just sort of lazily crossed her arms, staring at the other girl through her glasses.
gail: look
gail: this isnt my scene k
gail: i dont walk with people
gail: im just watching the water
gail: so go

==> FA: Strife.
What no! Why on earth would you strife this girl over something so silly?
Though honestly she's starting to irk you a little bit. Gosh, you never met anyone so darn stubborn! [/center] But hey, flashstepping! Two could play at that game, Cael thought, and she grinned and just kind of.
Turned and.
Flashstepped right in front of her, close enough for their noses to almost touch. Personal space? What's that!? CAEL NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING!
She placed her hands on Gail's shoulders and stared into the impassive pointy shades like she had been the coolkid's best friend for all eternity.
CAEL: okay so i like you even if you are a big lame bubblebutt and wont walk with me
CAEL: so if you dont wanna come over then how bout i take you to lunch or something!
CAEL: i just reeeeeeally wanna spend time with you cause you seem like such a cool sistah kay! even if you dont really talk much but thats okay cause i can do the talking for you, haha!
CAEL: so cmoooooon ill pay for you and everything
CAEL: itll be like a straight-up date sistah!!!!!!

==> FT: shove your sword in her face
that's just stupid. you've already decided not to shove your sword in the girl's face there's no way you're going to do it now unless she tries to strife or something. [/center] Gail stared at the pink-haired girl. If it was possible for a blank stare hidden behind awesomecool shades to be exasperated, then Gail's would've been. She just couldn't believe that this girl was so freaking ... insistent. Gail's normally perfectly blank facial expression was threatened by the slightest beginning of something resembling a frown or wait was that maybe kind of a smile or smirk who knows. A slight twitch at the corner of a lip can mean next to anything.
gail: youll pay
gail: alright fine

==> FA: Squeal like a six-year-old and start doling out EXUBERANT HUGS.
Wow these arrows have the best ideas. You promptly begin doing so. [/center] Cael was just so completely overwhelmed with GIDDINESS and JOY that she squealed like a six-year-old and flung her arms around her NEW BEST FRIEND, flashstepping into it to preempt any POTENTIAL DODGING. Ha, like anyone would even WANT to dodge one of her gleeful glomps!
This was exciting. This was just so completely exciting and yeah, so Cael didn't have much of a social life. She had tried things like this before, but it usually ended in people running away or calling the fuzz or something, and that was just lame, lame, lame. Most of her time was spent EXTREME ROLLERBLADING or EMBARRASSING CASH, and the rest of her time was spent sleeping or playing her N64.
Gosh she needed friends.
And now she had one! Yay!
CAEL: eeeeee this is so aaaaaawesome i knew youd come around eventually!
CAEL: so free food is what it takes to get you out, huh? ill have to keep that in mind for next time in case you decide to be a lamebutt again!
CAEL: but aaaaaanyway where dyou wanna go?
CAEL: theres this super awesome chinese place a few blocks down if you want
CAEL: do you like chinese? chinese food is the best!!!!!!

==> FT: rip off your shirt and shove your tongue down her throat
very funny, arrow. [/center] Gail just sort of stood there as the other girl embraced her, not even bothering to throw her elbow up in her face or bash the girl's knee out with a well-placed kick. That was just the kind of fun-loving person that Gail was. She even almost considered raising an arm and kind of reaching up and patting the other girl on the back. Her left hand twitched.
Nope not happening.
This free meal was starting to seem like it had way too many provisos attached.
gail: yeah free foodll do it
gail: chinese is alright
