hadriel | video; give or take a half hour after rhys' post

Heya, cavebros!

[A little wave! Hadrielites new and old, you're treated to a tattooed, more-enthusiastic-than-she-should-be redhead. She looks somewhat casual today, apart from the shotgun resting innocently across her lap, and is seated on her apartment's couch as if they weren't all facing imminent zombie-related terrors.]

Ignore Hyperion just now. Obviously, someone's been hitting whatever gross bathtub stash he and his weirdo roommate keep stocked: he's not aware that we're in the middle of a friggin' zombie apocalypse.

[hoo. anyway. Lilith huffs, rolling her eyes, and cocks her shotgun.]

I have a couple things I wanna propose to you guys, since nobody's gonna beat my Ms. Pac-Man score. Ever. [Yes, that IS a challenge.] I'm in my spire and getting bored of window-sniping zombies, so is anybody down for a rousing game of... I'unno, tabletop? I remember the rules well enough that we can use the boards and dice I salvaged from the stupid board games that the gods dropped all over the place. Either that or we can have a zombie-shooting party on the roof! It'll be fine. We can light some of 'em up-- that'll be sweet, right?

[Suddenly, there's an ominous groaning and shuffling from the other side of the room: Lilith, swearing under her breath, fires her gun at something off-camera that crumples with a resounding thump. She makes a little sound of disgust before setting her gun back down.]

Ugh. I wanted to keep that one, too... Maybe wait to come over 'till I throw this guy out the window.

[The camera briefly pans to a now-truly-dead undead she'd....kept tied up????? in the???? corner???? lilith wtf.... before she cuts the feed.]

and ur so cute when you drag ppl ;)

[GAGS DONT PDA ALL OVER HER HORRIBLE LOSS]

Newton, delete that comment!

[ not for her sake but because it's a PUBLIC NETWORK POST ]

[and of course, Newt's just going to start cackling]

No way! [he grins] It's true, anyway. [waggling his eyebrows like a little shit and nudging Hermann's ankle under the table with his toes--before his grin widens once he notices Lilith's selfie]

We totally gotta send her a selfie back.

We do not.

[ Pointedly moving his ankle out of reach. Though he's still disproportionately pleased (he's competitive with Newton, of course, but it likely wouldn't have gotten this bad with someone else if not for her attitude), he's more than capable of the stuffy veneer, the reflexive disapproval of that comment.

Pause.

Aha. ]

...However, if you delete that comment, I'll allow it.

[a considering pause. Newt hums idly for half a moment, eyeing Hermann across the table. After some thought--]

Fine. But only if I get to put my arms around your shoulders in the picture. [:>]

[ Hermann frowns.

A selfie photo of such a nature would be just as bad, or worse, than the comment. ]

One arm.

Deal! [and, quite pleased with the prize won, Newt is going to practically jump to his feet to scoot around the table, already talking] You should definitely pull up your score on your phone because that needs to be in there.

She's already seen it.

[ Rolling his eyes. It would be more amusing if he could instead hold up a still higher score, but he would need more time than Newton's immediate selfie initiative would allow. ]

[ROLLING HIS EYES ALSO NOW] I know, but it's a great rejoinder, Hermann, come on! You know it would piss her off and it's the perfect response to her flipping us the bird.

[ That does the job. Bitch he had been willing to accept, though crude, rude, and wholly improper, as lashing out in that embarrassment he'd warned her of.

The gesture crossed the threshold. Hermann taps at his phone, pulling up the display. He'd also probably pose absurdly like THE CURRENT ICON if Newton doesn't stop him skfmsdlf

Though born in '89, Ms. Pac-Man had been a determined, illicit part of his childhood.

Selfies he had never gotten into (or approved of). ]

[Newt is absolutely not going to let him pose like that are you kidding. MORE EYE ROLLING even as he flips the camera on his phone and holds it out in front of them, leaning down so his cheek is near Hermann's temple, the other arm going around his shoulders and neck a bit from behind.]

Oh, come on, Hermann. You're allowed to look as smug as I know you are about kicking her ass.

I protest smug, as she invited it.

[ As if reciprocation somehow cancelled his own attitude out.

Perhaps realizing the absurdity of that argument, he does relax, leaning a touch into Newton's arm as he does. He does not, however, smile, so much as raise his eyebrows and look entirely unimpressed. ]

[much better. Newt can't help but grin as Hermann relaxes a bit back into him, and ends up looking a bit like a smiling maniac next to Hermann's unimpressed eyebrow in the picture but--

really

it's perfect.]

Thanks, schatz! [and, of course, before Hermann can move, Newt's going to press a quick kiss to his cheek and snap one more picture, before darting out of the way so Hermann can't snatch his phone 8)))))]

Wh--

[ Sometimes, when they are truly only two, he permits certain of the diminutives without fuss. He would here, but that kiss and snap, thus beginning his protest.

He lunges, too slowly, then jerks to his feet, grabbing the table to accelerate it. ]

You cannot send that one!

[Newt fully cackles again, darting around the table, ducking away from him] I won't, I won't! I'll send the first one. [still grinning widely, though it softens a little bit]

That second one's for me.

Edited 2016-09-22 05:51 (UTC)

[ Pause. ]

...Fine.

[ His tone, too, softer. Only just. Hermann sinks back into the chair, ducking his head toward his phone, the tips of his ears pink, his lips thinning, pulled against his teeth, suppressing something. ]

[Newt isn't going to suppress anything. Which is why he's grinning stupidly, sappily at Hermann as he sits back down before--right yeah, ttly sending Lilith that first selfie now.

....And deleting that comment.]
