We~ell, I've never not been a twin, so I don't really have anything to compare with. But I guess I often found myself wondering how people survive with only one of them. Silly, huh?

[That gets a small titter.] Oh, it is. A pluses all the way, that's my brother.

[That is followed by the vocal equivalent of a shrug.] She's a princess, I think she could buy an entire mall if she wanted to, so I don't feel to bad wasting what is petty cash to her.

[sonofhulk]

[He's relieved to know she's not one of the people in charge.]

I'm gonna be a student too.

[likethestars]

I Would Expect You Wouldnt
And I Do Not Think It The Least Bit Silly
It Makes Plenty Of Sense to Wonder How Others Get Along Without Such A Close Sibling If Youre Used To Having Such

He Sounds Like A Truly Remarkable Person

I See
That Does Explain A Few Things
And Yet I Would Still Feel Incredibly Uncomfortable

let's try this again C:

[penaltykicktothehead]

[Soccer practice had ended early for some reason or another and Charlie was left to wander for a bit-- any plans she'd made for the rest of the afternoon weren't for a while yet, and so she'd decided a walk around the grounds would do some good. She's lost in thought until she catches the familiar sound of a violin, and that song-- she'd only heard it a couple times before, but... no way. It couldn't be! ...Could it?

It's not difficult to track down the source, so when Marie finishes playing, she'll find (a quite surprised and slightly awed) Charlie standing nearby.]

[comparative_insanity]

Well, I guess it makes sense, hm? In a way, no matter how lonely I've been, I've always had someone. [On the flip side, he almost went crazy when they were separated.] And he's definitely a remarkable person. He's the genius of the family, I'm really just along for the ride.

[He laughs.] I know she'll want to join, but... I shall try to make her enthusiasm.

I don't see why we've got to suffer for your clumsiness, princess. [Says the teacher with wings, albeit quite small ones]

[likethestars]

Yes It Make Plenty Of Sense
I Do Not Think You Give Yourself Enough Credit
I May Not Know You But I Am Certain You Are a Genius Of Sorts In Your Own Way
Perhaps Not Academically But Im Sure There Are Things You Are Great At Where Your Brother May Not Be

The Saying The More The Merrier Applies To The Club
If She Wishes To Join I will Be Glad To Have Her

[markedviolin]

[Marie lowers the violin when she's done playing, and her expression brightens once she notices the detective.] Charlie!

[Quickly, she puts her violin and bow back in the case and closes it before she stands up and jogs over to Charlie.]

[jolie_aile]

[Nevermind Flandre's strange quasi-flailing hand gestures.]

How was that supposed to work?

[And she stopped just as suddenly, and blinked a few times.]

Oh. Hello. I'm Flandre.

[ohcaptainmycaptain]

Excuse me? Where did I say I ran into them?

Maybe you should get your ears checked, flutters.

[penaltykicktothehead]

[Charlie smiles back a bit awkwardly as Marie approaches. Why was she here? Charlie could only guess it was because something had happened back home, but decides to keep the speculation quiet, for now.]

I must admit, I was not expecting to see you here, mademoiselle. Your playing is as impressive as ever...

[niepokonany]

yeah it pretty much ttly kicks ass ;D

i can show u on something else if u want, i just cant do it on my clothes right nwo

[Action]

[gotthescent]

Yeah, it is. Food tastes better when you have to work for it too.

[Civilization is overrated.]

[comparative_insanity]

Mmm, I have a flair for science and I'm good with a needle and thread, but... well, I really don't mind being more modest in my aspirations. I was always the loud kid, so he kind of deserves the attention now.

And I shall tell her, of course. I think we can make quite a club, actually.

[likethestars]

I Would Very Much Love To See It On Something Else

[markedviolin]

Ah, thank you. I'm happy to see a familiar face so quickly after getting here.

[She is so happy she could hug Charlie, but she won't because she's pretty sure Charlie wouldn't appreciate that--]

[likethestars]

You Sound Like A Very Sweet Brother

Judging From The Interest Gathered Here It May Take Off Better Than A Botany Club

[penaltykicktothehead]

[Yeahhh hugging's not really her thing most of the time, but the detective offers a smile all the same.]

You have just arrived, then? [That clears up who had moved into the newly occupied room...]

Re: [Action]

[sonofhulk]

You appreciate it more when you have to work for it.

[It is....except for milkshakes.]

[comparative_insanity]

When I'm not broadcasting him almost naked on the internet, yes.

[What, don't all brothers do that?]

And well, I don't know, I think Pam would be up for it, and probably some others too. Me, I'm kind of known as The Scourge of All Potted Plants and shouldn't be trusted with any plantlife.

[likethestars]

Oh
Thats An Undeniably Different Way Of Treating A Sibling

Perhaps
But This Fashion Club Idea Seems To Garner More Interest

[comparative_insanity]

I wanted to get him a date for the ball! I thought that was the most effective way.

[See, logic!]

And well, you won't hear any complaints from me, I'm all for a club that's all about making fabulous clothes. [Because clearly what this boy needs is more fabulosity.]

[likethestars]

Did It Work
Because That Is Certainly A Direct Way To Go About It

Im Sure This Type Of Club Will Bring Up Many Different Views On What We All Consider Fabulous

[comparative_insanity]

It did! Altho~ough I might also have pretended to be him and asked the girl sort of for him, but she totally didn't mind! He did, a little, but he got over it.

[He's the best twin brother, really.]

And I bet it will~. Oh, I'll ask Feli too. I'm not sure if he would be a genius at sewing or accidentally maim himself if someone gave him a needle, but I guess we can just keep an eye on him.

[likethestars]

That Is Certainly One Way To Go About Things
Although It May Be Considered Quite Extreme By Most

Yes I Would Like To Avoid Any Grievous Injuries In Relation To Club Activities
