helicon, the lounge. Hilde has raided the cupboards for pocky and is sitting nibbling it, while Duo reads fanfic with occasional mutters of 'i'm not a girl, and if i was i'd have the sense to use contrafuckingception'. Xu and Nuriko are playing chess. Nuriko: Hilde, if you eat it all now there won't be any left for the week-estranged-from-computer-and-anime that's coming up. Hilde: *pokupoku* we can always *poku* buy more *pokupoku*, can't we? *pokupokupoku* Duo: We're having a week estranged from the computer? Nuriko: Yes. Do you never listen? Duo: Not when I can help it, no. Xu: *bites her lip and moves a bishop* Check. Nuriko: Bitch! *hurriedly moves her (yes, /her/. got a problem with that?) king* Noin: *wanders in* Hey, when did we get a dojo? voice: When we moved in. Cue synchronous looking up by resident muses, as Kiryuu Touma and Saionji Kyouichi swan in, looking pleased with themselves, and settle down on the couch. Sizing up on both sides ensues, and a wary silence descends, broken by Seifer passing through on his way to the kitchen. Xu: Check. And mate. Duo: Hey, Seifer! An indistinguishable sound comes from within. Duo: Says here you got some! Noin: No wonder he's been so happy with himself recently. Hilde: *moves into the kitchen, speaks reproachfully* You never tell us /anything/... Seifer: There's a reason for that. She follows Seifer out of the kitchen, crossing her arms and leaning against the doorframe as he makes to leave. Hilde: Where are you going? Seifer: *turns* Why should I tell you? Hilde: Common courtesy, maybe? Seifer: Thing about common courtesy is, it's common. Nuriko: *gets up and walks over* Sorry to spoil the moment you've got going on here, but I need to get into the kitchen. Seifer and Hilde move apart: Seifer turns on his heel and starts to walk out. Hilde: Well? Seifer: I'm talking to someone. In my room. Hilde: Who? cbSquall's in the infirmary with a headache. And you /never/ talk to the origfic muses. Seifer: That's for me to know, and you to find out. *leaves* Duo: You know, Reno called him a dick, and he doesn't even /live/ here. Xu: And if even /Reno/ can tell... *turns to face new arrivals* Sorry, who /are/ you?
