Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

The weather was still lovely, of course. And there were all these neat tables of moddable snackies to help break those awkward silences that were so common with teenage get-togethers.

So... yeah.

Enjoy!

Telekinetic.

That sounded too much like ghosts and similar stories for her. Rosalind just shook her head. "And they give demonstrations?"

Surely they were fake.

He rolled his eyes. "If you ask nice enough, I suppose. I've fought with one during the invasion. It's impressive."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

Real enough to fight with, then.

"What do you fight with?" she asked, changing the subject slightly.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

He shrugged his shoulders and held up his hands. Which would be true if he was human-shaped when he fought. "Just these," he said easily. They were at least big enough, strong enough.

"Martial arts? Or just street fighting?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Nothing really," he said easily, stuffing his hands in his pockets. "I never said I'm good at fighting."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

Oh. So he was nothing but muscle?

"Skill can take out strength." Pointedly.

Jake smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "Haven't lost yet."

The fight with Rose and Dimitri didn't count. There were two of them and the alley hadn't been the best fighting grounds. Shhhh.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

She shook her head.

"You sound like someone I know." It was not, precisely, a compliment.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Yeah? Are they as cute as me?" he teased.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

She glanced at him, to all eyes absolutely disinterested and unimpressed.

"You're cute?"

He was, but she wasn't going to tell him that when he kept treading the line between 'amusing' and 'annoying'.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Jacob was good treading that line. Actually, he practically lived on that line. It was part of his charm. Or something.

He laughed and shrugged his shoulders easily, not looking hurt by the question. "You tell me."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

"I really don't think so," she said primly. Almost a hint of a smile at the corners of her lips. "Fishing for compliments isn't appealing."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

He laughed at her response. "I know. It's not my usual style, but you had me curious," he shook his head in amusement. "You're cruel."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

Something flickered across her face at that.

"You're surprising," she said abruptly.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

He was? Because he hadn't seen that comment coming at all.

"How so?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

"None of your business," she said, hiding the fact she was flustered behind the quick response.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Awwwwww, come on. You can't say one thing and then leave me hanging like that," he tried to give her the closest thing he had to a sad puppy look.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

"Are you always this childish?"

So, no, puppy faces didn't work that well on her.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Couldn't find out if he didn't try. "Sure, sure," he nodded. "I could go all serious, but that'd be boring."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

"There's nothing wrong with being serious," she objected.

Guess who was a serious person, Jacob?

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

He grinned. "There's nothing wrong with goofing off."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

"It's unprofessional."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"I'm sixteen," he told her. Though he didn't look it exactly. "I've got nothing to be professional about."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

"I'm sixteen," she said, a touch of scorn in her voice. "And I'm professional."
