[That, instead, makes him giggle and lower his eyelashes demurely.]

Well, actually he's my identical twin. And I feel a little bit dirty for telling you that, can you imagine?

[mllemaupin]

Only if you were thinking what I'm thinking now when you said it.

[ Delivered with a shamelessly saucy grin. ]

[comparative_insanity]

I mi~ight be. A little. I am only human, after all. [He grins back, because how can you help loving someone like this?] We are terrible and we should feel terrible, you know.

[mllemaupin]

If I'm not doing something it's probably not worth doing, and I'm not feeling terrible so I wouldn't bother with it if I were you.

[ Some would say she's more annoying than lovable, actually, but she's on Fai's side in this. ]

[comparative_insanity]

...you know what, you're perfectly right. I'm feeling great right now. And you look like someone who it would be a crime not to treat to chocolate croissants, am I right?

[See, he can do the logical jumps in conversation thing too.]

[mllemaupin]

[ Clearly they are destined to get along famously! ]

You are, in fact, entirely correct. It would be a crime, and one I would have to punish you for rather severely should you commit it.

[comparative_insanity]

...is it bad that you saying that almost makes me want to commit such a crime, huh?

[He makes a gesture as if he's going to offer her his arm, then thinks better of it, and instead extends his hand in an expectation of her offering her arm.]

Shall we?

[mllemaupin]

[ And said arm is indeed offered. ]

I do think we shall, and don't worry, I wouldn't like you if you weren't the type to misbehave so I'm sure I'll find something else to punish you for without it costing me a croissant.

[comparative_insanity]

[And daintily accepted, and he'll just very subtly lead the way.]

Now that sounds like something I could get behind, if you pardon the oh-so-sordid expression. [He giggles, because he's terrible like that.]

[mllemaupin]

You must, of course, tell me all about what other things you get behind, darling.

[ And yes, she meant that exactly the way it came off as. ]

[comparative_insanity]

Oh, I think I could do that, although admittedly some of those things are only in the planning stage. Rome wasn't built and so on, and so forth.

[He waves a limp wrist hand distractedly, smirking.]

[mllemaupin]

The planning can be fun as well, though I will admit to being rather impatient.

[comparative_insanity]

You are going to be a terrible influence, I can already tell. My patience didn't need more "im" than it already has, you know, my dear~.

[mllemaupin]

It's the only influence I'm any good at being, but on the other hand I really am very good at it.

Alexander Whit | OC

[ctrlaltshift]

Alex tended to be glued to his laptop more than the average seventeen year old. He didn't seem to care that walking with his eyes glue to the screen might be dangerous. In fact, the way he side-stepped the foot meant to trip him should have indicated he was more aware of his surroundings than he seemed to be.

But if there was anything his hunched posture and rapt attention hadn't indicated, his grumbling growls should have filled in the blanks.

Those numbers flashing down the screen of his laptop? They were not good news. At all.

[ctrlaltshift]

[Alex had barely glanced from his position in the far corner of the cafeteria when she...he?... the person started to sing. It did catch him off guard but this code wasn't going to straighten itself out and his laptop was going to burn into a useless heap of wires and plastic if he didn't get ahead of it.

So it's not until he finally gets his own virus into the system that he actually bothers to say something.]

Tha's a new one. Don' think I've heard that'un before.

[mllemaupin]

No? It's been around for a couple of centuries or so.

[ Well hello there, handsome stranger.

Julie steps down from the table and gives him a wide, charming smile, sitting down across from him as if she's been invited. ]

Did you like it?

[ She could probably speak with less of an accent, but she personally likes the way it sounds. ]

[ctrlaltshift]

[He couldn't. He could try not to have an accent. It would end horribly. He was always terrible with voices. Good thing it wasn't people he could change his shape to. He would really be useless then.]

I did, yeah. Was a nice 'nough sound. You've pretty good vocal chords on you.

[He smiled back, hitting a few keys on the keyboard without tearing his eyes away from her yet. When he finished the fingers of his left hand drummed the beat to the song against the case of his laptop.]

Never been much of the knowledgeable sort when it comes to music.

[He could play a keyboard of just about any type but if you asked him who sang a song or the words to it, the poor guy wouldn't have a clue.]

[mllemaupin]

It's true.

[ Julie isn't one for false modesty. ]

What's your name?

[ctrlaltshift]

[Alex wouldn't know where to begin with trying that himself. He's always been a terrible liar in person. If he ever gets caught, he's screwed.]

Alex. Alexander. Lex. Pick your fancy. E'ryone else always does.

[mllemaupin]

[ Julie is a rather splendid liar, but still often gets caught. Mostly because she considers it to be part of the fun. ]

I'm Julie.

Celestia Ludenberg | Dangan Ronpa

[trumped_card]

[Network]

[You may notice the image of a pale young woman on the screen today. Noting her clothing choices, she sure does have a thing for black. Kind of ironic, considering that bright smile on her face...]

Hee hee, hello there. To those of you who may be new here, welcome! My name is Celestia Ludenberg, though you may call me Celes if that's your preference. It's a pleasure having you here, rest assured.

At any rate, I've noticed that things have been getting a little...dull around here. As such, I thought it could be fun to play a little game. Anyone here good at cards?

[ctrlaltshift]

It's nice to meet you then, Julie.

[His smile remained and he flipped the lid of the laptop shut, offering her a hand. Because handshakes were the polite thing weren't they? He was pretty sure they were, though he was left wondering what her powers might be.

Of the many schools he had attended, this was the oddest, by far.]

[mllemaupin]

[ She takes his hand without hesitation, shaking it with warmth. ]

It's very nice to meet you as well, Alex.

So, what can you do?

[ why beat around the bush when she's curious? ]

[mllemaupin]

Julie didn't move like this was her first day in a new school. It was partly because she always seemed supremely confident wherever she went, and partly because a future self had dropped by to give her a run down of where everything was.

Alex caught her ear more than he did her eye with his grumpy growling, and she gave him an amused look, which turned appreciative once he registered on her radar as 'cute'.

"Who pissed in your cereal this morning, cutie?"
