The Club Fair - Gym - Friday Afternoon 9/24/10

[hotmugofstfu.livejournal.com]

To be perfectly honest, Blackagar wasn't sure how he ended up being in the gym this afternoon. Let alone being one of the first people there.

But that was just how life worked sometimes.

Plus, it gave him a chance to look over the new clubs first! Score for him.

[Please wait for the scary OCD is up!]

Karla marched right over to the table. And glared. Arms set firmly over her chest, she just eyed Zack as if she'd just caught him kicking puppies and impatiently tapped her foot.

See Zack. See Zack blink. Blink, Zack, blink.

"Hi, Karla?"

He'd never kick puppies! But he'd probably chocobo stomp them if he had orders to. Mmm, touch-and-go moral values.

"I hope," Karla announced frostily, "you turn out to be much more forward-thinking than your predecessor."

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[puppy_fair]

That got a blink out of Zack. Predecessor? Arthur?

"How much more forward thinking?"

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[glacial_queen]

"I want to sign up for the frat," Karla declared.

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[puppy_fair]

Pardon Zack while he stared, incomprehension thick in the air around his head, here.

"But you're a girl."

He was forward thinking, but it was a sort of slow-motion forward. Frame-by-frame, if you will.

Almost anyone else would have gotten a scornful comment about their powers of observation for that one, but this was still Zack. It was hard enough to keep up the glare.

So she went with precedent instead. Illyria was a girl!"

One who could grow a penis at will. Details.

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[puppy_fair]

"Illyria was the person with the blue hair who thought babies were edible, wasn't she?"

There had been some interesting times, right there.

... She-he-it also had pretty neat swords.

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[glacial_queen]

Karla had a sword! And various other weapons, too!

"I had short hair for awhile," Karla offered. "It was spiky."

She and Zack could have been spike twins!

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[puppy_fair]

"But you don't eat babies," Zack checked.

You couldn't be too sure, nowadays.

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[glacial_queen]

"Is that a prerequisite for joining now?" Karla asked, brow arched.

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[puppy_fair]

"No, but if you're going to use Illyria as a precedent, you kind of have to keep in consideration who you're talking about," Zack noted, putting his hands on his hips and frowning. "Fandom had a sorority, you know. Why don't you start that up again?"

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[glacial_queen]

"I don't think her baby-eating practices came up at any of the meetings," Karla pointed out. "Why should we have gendered clubs for just hanging out?"

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[puppy_fair]

Zack was now giving Karla the look.

It was not to be confused with The Look, which far more practised individuals in the ways of snark and badassery had mastered far more thoroughly than he had. But it was a fair approximation, from a puppy.

"You're saying this as the person who organizes girls-only sleepovers."

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[glacial_queen]

"So far, I have a 100% inclusion rate for any male who asks," Karla pointed out smugly.

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[puppy_fair]

"Provided they humiliate themselves with a dress and make-up," Zack pointed out, in turn. "And I didn't actually go. And it took me three days to get the eyeliner off."

Zack didn't really do smug, either. But there was sort of like an approximation of that going on here, as well.

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[glacial_queen]

"Humiliate yourself?" Karla scoffed. "Please. Like you couldn't have pulled that look off if you really wanted to. And if you think wearing makeup is hard for one night, imagine how hard it must be when you're expected to wear it all the time."

Not that Karla did. She was a strict 'formals and parties' kind of girl.

"But if you wish to insist I only wear male's clothing when I attend the meeting, I can agree to that."

She had a boyfriend with a closet full of shirts that didn't really fit right, still. Surely he wouldn't be opposed to donating some of them to a good cause!

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[puppy_fair]

"That's not... really my point, Karla. The frat is about guys just sitting around and doing... obnoxious guy things. Farting contests and stuff."

At least, that was Zack's understanding of it. He was a member of SOLDIER. That on its own was a bit of a sausage-fest, too.

"So why not start a club about how difficult it is being a girl? Because I don't doubt it is a pain, but we're... sort of not it."

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[glacial_queen]

"I don't want to start a club about how difficult it is to be a female sometimes," Karla retorted. "Thank you, I have my moontime as all the reminder I really need. Maybe I was to join your frat for the same reason you wanted to attend my slumber parties."

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[puppy_fair]

Give Zack a moment to parse that one, please.

...

"You want to see girls in pyjamas hitting one another with pillows?"

Zack was nothing, if not honest.

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[glacial_queen]

Karla was also going to need a moment to process that.

"...That was the whole reason you wanted to crash the slumber party? Pillow-fights?! I thought you were trying to make a statement about unfair discrimination in friendships!"

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[puppy_fair]

"... I'm a guy," Zack pointed out. As if this explained everything.

Ever.

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[glacial_queen]

"Interested in pillow fights?"

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[puppy_fair]

"Interested in girls?"

In pyjamas! Jumping around! Hitting one another! With pillows!

It was the promised land!

Re: Talk to the Representative - Kappa Kappa Gremlin

[glacial_queen]

"So, the whole time you were talking about it being unfair for males to be excluded, it was because you wanted to see pillow fights."

Karla...really shouldn't be sounding this shocked.
