*while maybe lacking the fierce doggedness of a werewolf on the trail, let it be said that a vampire who is looking for someone will most likely find them. currently, one coffee-loving vampire is out searching for one fellow Borogravian soldier*

*the cat ears - which Oliver definitely has - twitch*

What are we celebrating?

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

*in contrast, Maladict's non-existent cat ears and tail give an invisible swivel that, were they actually there, might put one in mind of the movie The Exorcist*

Things of feline nature, it would appear. Though it's more of a cultural exchange, really. I don't know about you, but I feel enlightened.

[allofherperks.livejournal.com]

- er.

*pulling her jacket a little higher, just in case Mal's developing the ability to see over the tops of collars*

Have you happened to catch any of the oh-so-helpful announcements that have been made regarding this whole... *waves a hand* ...business?

[allofherperks.livejournal.com]

What oh-so-helpful announcements were those?

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

Ones explaining things like the cat ears and, you know, any words you might have appearing on your body.

This has happened here once before. Seems like basically the same thing.

[allofherperks.livejournal.com]

....so explain it to me?

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

The cat ears are the conditional part. Whether or not you have a pair of those depends on the status of your virginity. The correlation between cat ears and virginity, I fail to see, perhaps willfully so, but there's no need to dwell on that, is there?

Everyone who's been caught up in this, though, has a word. That's your team name. One other person has that same word on them. Apparently, there's some sort of fighting system from that world where people battle in pairs.

*fully aware of the blush creeping up the backs of her ears*

Oh.

......how do they ever get any fighting done?

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

Beats me.

*a pause, during which Mal seems entirely too comfortable. then a grin.*

So are you gonna spill what your name is?

[allofherperks.livejournal.com]

*composed. as. possible*

What makes you think I have one?

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

The ears are just a bit of a tip-off, Oz.

[allofherperks.livejournal.com]

You said they were a sign of-- inexperience.

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

But only people with Names are subjected to being cat-eared.

[allofherperks.livejournal.com]

Oh. Then it doesn't meant that you're--

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmmmm?

[allofherperks.livejournal.com]

*saying nothing because, idiot. of course Mal's experienced- Mal's a vampire*

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

*wandering over closer, looking around*

Nobody's been giving you any trouble, have they? I don't think the fights can start with just one person, at least...

[allofherperks.livejournal.com]

*...stops gripping her coat, squares her shoulders, and stands up*

I've been keeping out of trouble, Corp.

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

Doesn't mean that trouble won't be keeping an eye out for you. Staying out of the way is probably best.

*flumps down to sit on the ground, leaning against Oliver's tree stump. it's the coolest flumping the world has ever seen.*

[allofherperks.livejournal.com]

*so you can make a sulk attractive. brava*

Er... Are you staying out of the way?

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

*honestly, it would be easier to list the things I can't make attractive*

In a manner of speaking, I suppose. It's hardly the sort of thing you'd want to get caught up in, you know?

[allofherperks.livejournal.com]

I suppose not.

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

If it's anything like a normal event that happens here, it shouldn't last past the weekend, at least. Might 'bBe sort of nice to get away from the crowd for a little while, don't you think?

[allofherperks.livejournal.com]

...what makes you say a weekend? And obviously, since I'm doing it.
