Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 9:17 PM
Eliot sits up with a yawn. he gets up tucking in Serif and stands deciding to sit at the edge of the pool staring at the water, glad his dream wasnt as bad as her last one
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 9:52 PM
Sans stirs a bit, groaning a bit in protest to himself as DT began to yell at him to wake up. With a small growl he opened his eyes, spotting Serif once again and becoming a flustered mess. Except.. he couldn't get away from Serif's snuggling.
Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 9:55 PM
Eliot was deep in thought, kinda humming to himself, not even noticing that charm just woke up from his slumber
Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:01 PM
Serif snuggled closer to Sans in her sleep. She was really comfy here and didn't seem ready to wake up yet.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 10:02 PM
Sans had to fight back a small whine of embarrassment... Or maybe happiness? He didn't know but DT began chanting an annoying song and he wanted it to stop before he appeared and he looked crazy. "It's too early for this.." he mumbled to the voice who responded immaturely with a raspberry.
Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:14 PM
Serif stirred a little when he talked, her hold on him loosened as she stretched lazily and resettled. She made a sleepy little whine that sounded almost like a squeak as she did so.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 10:16 PM
He melted a bit at the cute noise, looking over at her a little. She was so cute! This apparently caught DT off guard, angering him, and he yelled to get Sans' attention. This caused him to jump a bit, letting out a small yelp and quickly freezing as to hope he didn't wake Serif up.
Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:23 PM
Serif shifted again at the noise and sudden movement, making another little whine that sounded more annoyed. Her hand closed around some of the fabric of Sans' jacket. After a moment she sighed and reluctantly opened her eyes. She tilted her head that was still resting on his chest to stare blankly at Sans as she actually woke up. "heya...."
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 10:26 PM
He was flushed bright blue. "U-Uh, h-hey! Morning! S-S-Sorry to wake you up!" Haha! You woke up you're girlfriend! He bit back a growl at DT's teasing, his nervous smile falling briefly for a look of annoyance as he barely whispered angrily. "Shut the fuck up you twat!"
Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:31 PM
Serif squinted in confusion. Did she really hear that last part? Probably not, she was just still dreaming or something. "uh....it's fine. probably time for me to wake up anyway....did you sleep well?"
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 10:36 PM
"Uh.. Yeah!" Oh thank god she hadn't heard it. Ooo, risky move~ He forced back a growl, his smile only faltering a bit. "How 'bout you?"
Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:41 PM
She nodded sleepily, still resting her head on him. "mmhmm! you make a good pillow." She was half tempted to just fall back asleep again. "soooooo....how long have you been awake?"
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 10:46 PM
"Not all that long!" He beamed at her, grateful DT didn't make any snarky remark. "I can't believe I fell asleep again -- right after coffee too!" He chuckled a bit.
Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:49 PM
She laughed. "it was pretty funny! maybe i just bore you to sleep! or you just really want to sleep with me~" She added a lazy wink for effect.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 10:51 PM
His blush just got brighter. "Wh-What?" Looks like someone's got you figured out, Cripple~ "No! I don't like her like that!" He said a bit too loudly, his blush just getting brighter. Fuck.
Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 10:56 PM
Serif stared in confusion. "uhhh...did i fluster you so much you forgot how to use words?" She wasn't sure what to make of that....Well actually she did have one idea. If she didn't her face wouldn't be turning blue at the moment.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:00 PM
"Y-yes! Uh- Yeah. U-uhm, j-just don't know what I was s-saying." He laughed nervously, silently scolding DT that was currently laughing hysterically. "N-No idea.."
Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 11:09 PM
"y-yeah uh...." Gosh she was losing her words. "um....wanna go get some coffee? or something. oh uh...and i guess i should change..." She forgot that she was still in her swimsuit and was suddenly very embarrassed about that. Sure it wasn't a bikini but still.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:13 PM
Sans suddenly realized she was in a bathing suit and got even bluer. Oo, nice score, buddy. "Shut up." He muttered again, not processing a lot of this. "B-But u-uh, y-yea! sure! uhm, I-I-I'm up for s-some coffee! P-Promise I won't fall a-a-asleep this time!"
Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 11:24 PM
She was getting mixed signals now with his weird muttering. She was fairly sure she didn't imagine that...Oh well. "okay then." She rolled over and stood up, grabbing Elly's blanket at the same time and wrapping it around her so by the time she was on her feet it was around her waist like a skirt. "be back in a minute." and with that she hurried off to change.
Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 11:25 PM
Who knew Eliot could be so deep in thought, or is he sleeping? its hard to tell, though he is nodding off a little too close to the pool's edge
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:27 PM
He sat up, rubbing his skull as a familiar entity popped up in the neighboring chair. He growled, not even glancing over at DT. "If I could kill you, I would." Haha, no you wouldn't. You know I would be killing you. Not the other way around. "Fuck. You." *Hey, I'm not the one with the crush. "I don't have a crush!"
Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 11:31 PM
Charm's talking disrupted Eliots train of thought, He turns around only slightly annoyed [if your gonna argue with your imaginary friend, please whisper, im kinda in deep thought]
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:33 PM
They both looked at him in shock, Sans' blush reappearing. "Fuck.." Told you were crazy. "Yeah I fucking know that." He was whispering now, as requested. DT, not so much, yelled at full volume. Sans was the only one who could hear it though. How does it feel, Cripple? Enjoying my company? "Why don't you go bother Gaster or something?" He ain't fun. You respond with more then just glares. To that, Sans responds with a glare.
Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 11:37 PM
Eliot breaths in glad he's much quieter, he turns back to the pool relaxing once again, he really needed to relax anyway since he's still a little stressed out from his dream that was once again trying to make him believe things he didnt wanna hear "~xaler ot woN" he started humming to himself to calm his mind
Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 11:40 PM
Serif returned in a few minutes, glad to be back in her normal outfit. She set the blanket near Eliot before turning back to Sans. "ready?"
Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 11:41 PM
he grabbed the blanket thining it out and hooking it back onto the skull decoration, he missed his ribbon thing thats always around him
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:41 PM
He turned away from DT, his smile returning. "Yeah!" He said, accidentally a bit loudly. Yay! Date time! Without thinking he turns back to DT and growls. "Not. With. You."
Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 11:45 PM
Eliot rubs the sides of his foreheads repeating in his mind 'there is no one here but me, there it only silence'
Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 11:46 PM
Serif cocked her head in confusion. "uhhh....sans, you alright?"
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:47 PM
He realized what he just did and turned away from DT's smug face to look back at Serif with a bright blue face. "U-Uh, yep! J-Just thought I h-heard something." You bet you heard something.
Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 11:49 PM
"well...okay then." That was really odd. She tried to shrug it off. "hey eliot, we're gonna go get coffee, be back soon. oh, and you want anything?"
Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Yesterday at 11:50 PM
he turns to them and thinks "....food" he smiles a little not particualty realizing that he's making nearby shadows a little sharp from stress
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:53 PM
Dude, that dude is making some weird things happen with those shadows. Sans noticed them, but decided not to speak out on them. "Got it." He muttered, beginning to walk off with DT following.
Serif [SecondQuill]-Yesterday at 11:54 PM
Serif knew she should probably comment on the shadows....but it probably wasn't a big deal. and Sans was already walking off. "o-okay then. be back in a bit." She trotted to catch up with Sans.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Yesterday at 11:56 PM
Sans walked in, accompanied by DT and Serif
Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:02 AM
Serif trotted in with Sans, she'd expected to go to the indoor bar but this was better anyway. It was out in the open where she could see the sky. She stretched her arms and took a deep breath of fresh air. She thought she'd never get sick of being on the surface.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:04 AM
"So what so you want?" I certainly know what you want, Cripple. A barely taller glass of smoking hot- He was cut off as Sans suddenly stomped his foot to the side, directly on DT's foot. His smile never faltered.
Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:12 AM
"just a coffee is fine!" She thought for a moment. "and if they have any sugar free cookies that'd be nice too! gosh i wish i could eat sweets more. heh, actually, it was here, on my island of course, that i realized how bad of a sugar problem i have. hawke got me some icecream and uh....i kinda ended up running the whole length of the beach in under a minute?" That was actually one of the less embarrassing things she did. She wondered if Times had the same thing happen to him...
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:18 AM
He couldn't help but laugh a bit. "I'll see what I can find!" He walked behind the bar, searching. Meanwhile, DT was sitting on stool, rubbing his foot. He decided to "talk" to Serif. Y'know, toots, Cripple really enjoys sugar! He'll take all the sugar from ya. "Hey Serif, how about you have a seat there?" he suggested, gesturing to the one DT was sitting in.
Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:22 AM
"sure!" She trotted over and flopped in the seat. Completely oblivious to DT. "so uh, what's your favorite place on the island? besides the hot springs of course~"
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:25 AM
DT was pushed off, landing on the ground with discontent. He grumbled as he got up and sat on the next still over. Asshole. "Stop talking about yourself like that, it's not good for self-esteem." he mumbled, hopefully not audible to Serif. He turned back, sliding her a mug before turning to look for cookies. "Uh.. I don't know. There was a carnival and that was pretty great, but I don't think I've explored all that much."
Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:31 AM
She thought she heard him mutter something but couldn't make it out. She shrugged it off and gladly took the mug. "there was a carnival here too? me and charmy went there in my world. it uh....didn't end exactly the best...but it was fun! too bad they don't have the carnival here the whole time." She sipped at her coffee happily. "i really like the gardens, but that was probably obvious."
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:35 AM
"Yeah... The food was really good." Unfortunately you never got to taste what you really wanted. Sans walked over, his own mug in hand. He leaned over the counter, tilting the freshly brewed coffee over the rim to fall onto the stool. DT hissed in pain, wiping off the liquid. Sans, once again kept his smile up. "It probably helps that you read so much about it. If I could read then maybe I could have more of a passion for something like that." he sipped at his coffee, not noticing his slip. DT did though, smirking a bit.
Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:41 AM
Serif was looking at the stool that Sans had just seemingly poured coffee on for no reason. She would have said it was an accident but it really didn't look like it. "uh....yeah...maybe when you learn more about it then you'll...be more interested...?" She kept looking from the stool to Sans for some sort of explanation.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:44 AM
DT huffed a bit that Serif didn't notice, letting his chin fall onto the bar. Sans just kept smiling at Serif as if everything was normal. "Definitely. I have a feeling you'll help a ton with that."
Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:48 AM
"um..y-yeah! i'm sure that will be great! i have lots of books to pick from too!" She kept looking at the stool wondering why he did that. Maybe she should just ask. "so uh...is there a reason you dumped coffee on that stool? because there are better ways of getting a hot ass."
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:51 AM
He laughed a bit at her joke, even DT snickering a bit, getting a bit blue. "Nah, that was just an accident." Accident my apparently hot ass. Sans once again poured coffee out of his cup, this time right onto the bar and onto DT's skull. He growled. Same thing twice, huh? and begun wiping away at it. Sans, at a delayed reaction looked down at the spot where coffee was. "That... That was an accident too."
Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 12:57 AM
Serif laughed, assuming that it was a joke of some sort. "looks like you need to put a lid on those accidents." She pointed to a coffee mug with a lid on it. "unless you wanna spill the truth and tell me why ya really did that." Her tone was joking, she didn't think there was anything else to it. At most she guessed he did it to make her laugh.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Today at 12:59 AM
He laughed a bit nervously at her second joke, thinking she knew something was up. Yeah, tell her the truth, Cripple. "Actually, I think I might skip out on coffee today." He proceeded to throw the rest of the contents into the air and all over DT who actually fell out of the chair.
Serif [SecondQuill]-Today at 1:02 AM
Serif just laughed all the harder, actually snorting from how hard she was laughing. "o-oh my gosh s-sans! y-you could at least pour it on a plant or something!" She was trying and failing to stop laughing.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
Sans couldn't help but smile at her laughter, unable to stop little heart's forming as his eye lights. "I think the ground enjoyed it more."
Serif [SecondQuill]
Serif finally managed to calm down, embarrassed at her outburst. She tried to take a drink of her own drink but the image of Sans throwing his coffee made her laugh again and she accidentally did a spit take on him and fell off her seat laughing. How graceful.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He was taken off guard by the coffee, standing there with a "wtf" face as DT burst into laughter as well. How does it feel Cripple? Not so nice, huh! He slumped a bit, glaring at DT before grabbing some napkins and drying himself off.
Serif [SecondQuill]
Serif was flopped on the ground failing to stop her laughter. She grabbed onto the counter and half dragged herself up, resting her head on it. The sight of Sans just made her laugh more. Her face bright blue. "a-are y-you o-okay?!"
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He smiled a bit at her. "I'm fine." he chuckled, wiping at his shirt. "Probably deserved it anyway." Yeah ya did.
Serif [SecondQuill]
"d-deserved it? w-PFFTTT- wh-why? y-you're a-already h-hot enough!"
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He got blue at that sinking into his coffee stained jacket. "I-I don't know about that.." If you're hot then I am literally on fire.
Serif [SecondQuill]
She took a few deep breaths to calm her laughter to giggles. "o-oh gosh! i stained your jacket! uh i might be able to get that out later." She pulled herself back on her seat, her giggles dying down as she started to feel sheepish. "s-so..w-what were we even talking about? i forgot. h-hah..."
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
"Its fine, don't worry." he reassured, leaning against the bar again towards her with a soft smile. DT seemed to be getting either bored or tired but was slowly fading away, much to Sans' pleasure. "I don't even know."
Serif [SecondQuill]
Her mood lightened a bit when he didn't seem mad. "uh....was it....books? yeah. books. a-and reading! excited for that!...so uh....what's some things you like to do?"
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
"Well.. I like to cook and make music." he starts out. "That's about the extent of my normal life outside the multiverse." he chuckles, DT all the way gone.
Serif [SecondQuill]
"oh! i like to cook too! although my skill is about as good as times' sooo...yeah. i'm lucky if i don't burn the house down." She laughed awkwardly. "uh, maybe you could teach me! i read to you and you teach me to cook!"
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He smiles brightly at the idea. "I would love to teach you! We would just stay away from sugar stuffs." He gave a friendly little wink.
Serif [SecondQuill]
Serif beamed, chuckling a bit at the wink. "yeaaah no sugar for me. unless you want a crazy swap bouncing around." She thought about taking a drink of what coffee was left in her mug but she didn't trust herself not to laugh. "you mentioned music? i didn't know you made music! what instruments do you play?"
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He chuckled a bit, about to comment on that when she mentioned music. No one usually asked about that. "O-oh, I play guitar, piano, and drums but I mostly sing."
Serif [SecondQuill]
Serif's eyelight sparkled. " wowie! you're like a whole band! i bet you're a wonderful singer! especially since you're charmy's alternate. i wish i could sing. charmy tried to help once but uh...it never really went anywhere. at least i don't need a good voice to play piano and violin. oh! do you have a favorite type of music?"
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He kinda took a moment to stare at her, his face melting again into one of awe and love. He was too far gone. "I guess I like anything that has a meaning. Anything that can move a crowd to tears, motivate someone not to give up hope, just telling a story is enough for me." he told her, his eye lights taking the shape of little hearts. "I would love to perform with you some time, if you'd like."
Serif [SecondQuill]
His words sounded wonderful! Like a poet! She loved songs with meaning. Things that had emotion were just perfect- She paused in her thought process as she noticed the shape of his eyelights...were those? Hearts? Oh shoot did she somehow charm the charming prince? Times was going to be furious- oh wait. Duh. He was probably just really passionate for music! Hah. Yep. "thats exactly what i love in music! and i'd be more than happy to preform with you sometime! we could have our own little two person band!"
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
His smile never left, his posture sinking more and more as he leaned on the bar, simply finding joy in listening to her speak. It took him a moment to realize she had stopped. "That sounds awesome! We will have to fit it in between all the other plans we're making." he chuckled, a little blue blush appearing. He didn't know what he was feeling but he wasn't complaining.
Serif [SecondQuill]
Serif laughed. "think we're planning more than we can handle! that's okay though! we'll just have to split it up into more get togethers!" She decided to try drinking her coffee again, managing to finish it off without laughing. "have you listened to much human music? i'm not sure how it is in your world but it can be a little hard to come by in mine. most of the time i get lucky and find something in the dump. like mcr stuff! don't know why anyone would throw that out though."(edited)
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
"I'm up for seeing ya more." he smiled, "I have heard some human music -- Arial is good at finding it. She gave me a sound track to a musical about American history recently and from what I've listened to it's badass."
Serif [SecondQuill]
"oh! my arial gave me a dvd for a recording of that! she told me to watch it with charmy and i keep meaning to ask her but of course something always gets in the way. i bet times has a dvd of it too! you might ask to watch it with him. it sounds like it will be awesome!" She half looked over the counter. "oh yeah, did you manage to find any cookies?"
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He would have to keep that in mind. Arial did say something like that to him about it. He stood a bit taller when she mentioned the cookies. "Oh right! Sorry, I forgot." He chuckled nervously before quickly turning away to try and find them. After a few minutes, and a few taste tests, he was able to find the sugar free ones. He made a small platter of different kinds, spinning as he set it done in front of her with some flair. "There we are!"
Serif [SecondQuill]
Serif waited patiently, just kicking her legs softly and looking around at the area. She switched her attention back to Sans as he spun. Her smile just growing at how dramatic it was. "thank you, oh master cookie finder!" She bowed her head in gratitude. She gladly took a cookie and shoved the whole thing in her mouth. “gosh i love sweet things! maybe thats why i like you so much~” Her words might have a little more effect if she wasn’t talking with her mouth full.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He smiled brighter at her, grabbing a cookie himself to munch on while he returned to his slouched position. His blush returned, a wide bright blue line visible across his face. It didn't seem to matter if her mouth was full or not. He looked over to the side, trying to keep his blush under control as he chuckled nervously. He glanced over at her and all that seemed to do was make it worse.
Serif [SecondQuill]
She had to resist laughing as to not choke on her cookie. Gosh he flustered easily! Even more than Charmy it seemed. "ya got a fever or somethin? your face is looking pretty blue~ or did i just burn you with that coffee?"
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He chuckled again, rubbing the back of his skull as he still avoided Serif's gaze. "N-nah. You should know I don't handle that type of stuff good." Especially not with her. When it came from her.. It was different. He just felt his soul get tighter and his ribcage twist... In a good way.
Serif [SecondQuill]
She'd half expected some sort of witty comeback. Must have really flustered him. "yeah, sorry about that. you probably get flustered enough by your 'brave knight.'" She picked up another cookie and shoved it in her mouth. "so how's times doing anyway? haven't seen him since...uh..." They filed divorce papers after the night they got drunk and ended up married somehow. "haven't seen him in a while."
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He finally mustered the courage to look at her again, his blush staying control at the change of topic. "He's good." He said simply. "It's been a bit since I've last seen him too.. But that'll change soon. I'm gonna need his help with something. I can say hi for you if you want."
Serif [SecondQuill]
She laughed nervously and shoved another cookie in her mouth. "uhhh best not. we don't get along very well. he's gonna be pissed as is that i've been talking to you. plus after recent events between us- um...." Her face turned bright blue remembering their stupid antics. "i'm pretty sure h-he's trying to avoid me."
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He can't help but smile a bit, leaning on the counter a bit more towards her. "Well, now I'm curious. What happened?"
Serif [SecondQuill]
Her blush got even worse and she tugged her bandanna half up her face. "n-nothing! j-just s-swaps being swaps! HAHAHAHA...."
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He couldn't help but smile a bit wider, mischief crawling into it and into his voice. "Aw, come on. It can't be that bad."
Serif [SecondQuill]
"w-well considering that w-we c-crashed a car, left seb to die, almost g-got arrested, and jumped in a river, i'd say it was that bad." She shoved another cookie in her mouth. "andmeandtimessortagotmarried." She hoped he couldn't understand that last part.(edited)
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
Any other person would laugh at that. Any other would find that oddly frustrating. His blush grew and his smile fell. "O-oh."
Serif [SecondQuill]
"y-yeah...." She coughed awkwardly. "it was a pretty wild night. a-anyway, things are pretty much fixed! seb is fine, albeit furious with us. we found the person who owned the car and paid them back. and uh....me and times got things worked out. kinda. it's still really awkward but hey, we were drunk off our asses so at least we have an excuse." She sunk into her bandanna. "I guess it was our fault we ended up drunk in the first place though..."
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He would have to lecture Swap later. He shrinks a bit himself, deciding to try and quickly change the subject. "U-uh- who's Seb?"
Serif [SecondQuill]
"s-seb is another a-alternate of ours. we thought he was j-just a normal one b-but it turns out he's half human! isn't that weird? n-not in a bad way! just, i never thought that possible." She tugged at her gloves. "we kinda found that out a-after he got shot. it's a little hard to h-hide when he w-was bleeding so much...." She still felt bad about that. Especially because in her drunken state she'd said some pretty nasty things about him. And then left him to die.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
"Geez." He fell silent as he thought about that. A half-human alternate of Swap? That held many questions. But he was curious. Maybe he could help that guy out -- if only being there as an understanding supporter. "Maybe I can meet him one day." He couldn't help but smile a bit. "I could probably help him out if he needed it."
Serif [SecondQuill]
"he's actually been wanting to meet you for quite a while! ever since times started talking about you at the meetings. i think you'd get along great! and uh...maybe you could throw in a good word or two for me?" She tugged at her gloves. "i said some pretty nasty things to him and he hasn't even let me apologize...i d-didn't mean them! i just...i dunno, i was drunk and panicking and..." She sunk more into her bandanna. "he didn't deserve to be called such things. or to be left behind. heck, he coulda died there. more likely than not."
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
His gaze wonders off. "Yeah, I know that feeling." He muttered. Seems like they could get along better then he originally thought. He managed to look back to her and give a reassuring smile. "I'll try!"
Serif [SecondQuill]
She managed a smile. "thanks sans, you're the best!" If he wasn't on the other side of the counter she'd hug him. She thought for a moment. "not sure you'd get along with many of the other swaps. red is more of an asshole than me and times and he's doesn't have a charm. you might get along with clover and fluffle but you better be prepared to hear absolutely EVERYTHING about their families. they are huge talkers. whisper doesn't talk much, he didn't even make his own nickname, we picked it out for him. lavender if nice, but you have to deal with the wrenne side as well as the swap side. sparky is nice but he's always so nervous and he never talks about his world. and tiny is an asshat, we all hate him. but who doesn't hate their younger selves?" She realized that probably everything she said didn't make sense. "oh gosh! sorry about that! i rambled again didn't i? hah...there are a lot of us if you couldn't tell."
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He listened with interest -- they all sounded better than his alternates. Far less scary, at least. He kept smiling at Serif, it falling from reassurance to a lovestruck grin once again. Her rambling was so cute. "It's fine." He chuckled. "They all sound so interesting. I'd love to meet them, really."
Serif [SecondQuill]
"maybe you could come to a meeting sometime! next meeting is actually coming up pretty soon. although i should probably clear it with the others first. I'm sure they'd love to have you though!" She took another cookie. "just be warned, they are clingy as heck and you'll probably be bombarded with hugs."
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He couldn't help but laugh at that. "For some reason that doesn't surprise me in the least." he took another cookie himself, breaking one in half and munch on it. "But I'd think it would be interesting to see ten other Swaps in one room."
Serif [SecondQuill]
"heh, interesting is one way to put it. more chaotic to be honest. if it wasn't for lavender we'd never get anything done. i don't know who's 'smart' idea it was to cram a buncha alternates that hate eachother in a room and try to get them to talk to eachother, but eh. i mean some good comes of it, like getting to meet you."
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
His blush returns and his smile grows a bit more, his little eye lights forming hearts again, little to his knowledge. "Well, from the sounds of it if Wrenne is apart of him somehow that makes a lot of sense."
Serif [SecondQuill]
"oh yeah! i forgot to explain that. apparently somehow wrenne died? and so her swap absorbed her soul so they are this sorta fusion. he doesn't look much different except his eyelights are the color of wrenne's soul, lavender! and he got a little taller. wrenne can take control to talk through him and she tends to do it a lot. i feel bad for the guy, he can't do anything by himself anymore. i mean, sure he's with someone he cares about but i wouldn't want to be fused with my mom, er, dad i guess." Oh shoot she was talking too much again wasn't she? "a-anyway they are like the leader of the group." She shoved another cookie in her mouth to 'hide' her embaressment.

He shudders a bit at the thought of absorbing a human soul. But he still couldn't help but smile at her rambling. "Poor guy. Having someone in your head is... well, it can be suffocating." He knows from experience. "But at least they can keep everyone under control."

His wording seemed odd. It wasn't like he'd had to deal with that personally had he? "yeah, i can hardly deal with myself. having to deal with someone else in my head? i think i'd go crazy! lav seems to be doing okay though. a bit on the secretive side but he can't really keep many secrets to himself anymore. i don't know why but we swaps just like keeping secrets. even from ourselves. been told i'm more open then the others though. times teased me saying it's because i'm a 'chatty girl.' i swear, we got along much better when he thought i was a guy....i do talk too much though..."

"I don't mind." He told her, smiling brightly at her with the returning heart eye lights. "I think your rambling is rather, uhm.." He caught himself, growing a bit blue. "Uhm.., uh," Shit. What could he say? Maybe just take a leap of faith? Yeah. Screw it. "Cute?" He tried, his voice raising a bit.

Serif stared at him for a long moment as things finally clicked. The heart eyelights, the dreamy smiles, the blushing. Her face turned bright blue and little sparks of magic zapped around her. "o-oh." She sunk more into her bandanna. She felt a mesh of feelings. Like the light feeling of drinking alcohol and the energy of a sugar rush all at once. "i-i u-uhhhhhhhhh i-i'm-" She just sorta tilted off her chair and flopped on the floor ungracefully. This was bad! No wait, it was good? No it was bad! Really bad! Right? She made a high pitched sound that sounded like a mix between a muffled scream and a squee.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
Oh no. That wasn't good. "Serif?" He leaned onto the counter more, almost climbing on it as he looked down at her. Crap. He broke her. He fell down from the counter, going around to look down at her with a worried and apologetic expression. "S-Sorry. I wasn't expecting you to shut down on me."
Serif [SecondQuill]
Serif just got more flustered when he came over, stuttering the starts of a billion sentences that never went anywhere. Did he actually like her?! HER? Blue sparks buzzed around as she looked up at him. She took a deep breath to calm herself but it wasn't really helping. What was she even suppose to say? "I-I'M FINE!" She shouted at full volume, her eyelights flipping shapes. Okay okay calm down and think....HOW WAS SHE SUPPOSE TO THINK? THIS GUY LIKE LIKED HER! HOLY SHIT- TIMES WAS GOING TO BE SO MAD AND SHE WASN'T EVEN SURE SHE CARED WHAT HE THOUGHT BECAUSE FUCK THE CHARMING PRINCE LIKED HER. BUT SHE DIDN'T LIKE ALTERNATES LIKE THAT, RIGHT? She had no idea to be honest.

He took a step back, a few bits of dust flaking off as his worry for her grew. He really messed up hadn't he. Great. Just great. His hands fiddled with each other, his eyes darting everywhere. He didn't know what to do so he just stood there awkwardly. He didn't even know what he was feeling or what he was supposed to make of this reaction. He just mumbled another apology, staring down at the ground and his shuffling feet.
Serif [SecondQuill]
Oh shoot was he upset? She didn't mean to upset him! She awkwardly flopped back to her feet and gave him a rather stiff hug. "IT'S P-PEREFECTLY F-FINE! HAHAHAHA! U-UH Y-YOU'RE G-GREAT!" Fuck that sounded really stupid. "J-JUST SWELL!" She was making it worse. "G-GRAND-" Her voice was getting higher and higher with every word she said. She pretended to be looking at her watch not that it mattered because he couldn't see what she was doing from that angle. "OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE TIME I TOTALLY FORGOT I HAD TRAINING I BETTER GO BEFORE ALPHYS GETS MAD AT ME HAVEANICEDAYTHANKYOUFORTHECOOKIESSEEYOULATER!" She bolted at sonic speed through a portal back to her world, before it closed a surprised yelp and a splash could be heard. Probably should have been more careful about portal placement.
Charm - [aglitchandagrump]
He wasn't expecting the hug, and when she did she trapped his arms. Her words were off and he didn't know what to make of them. Eventually when she left he was left standing there, staring at where the portal had been before he more or less just slumped. Mentally and physically. He ran a hand down his face. "Sans you fucking idiot." he sighed, walking over to the stool and laying his head on the counter. He didn't understand anything of what just happened, nor how he felt, but he could tell he really messed up. Just great.
