"So this is TOTALLY business but I need a d--a plus one to get into this fancy ball to meet with a client so I decided that I'll let you come with me since you're the only one around that I know. Aren't I so generous?"

A d a t e , eh? 

 Xelloss stands facing Lina with that infuriatingly unchanging face of tepid cheer.  Staring, or presumably so, since his eyes have that vulpine squint that locks out any meaningful insight as to his thoughts, or his mood, or his motivations, or anything else.

The “stare,” as it were, lasts a good goddamn sixty seconds, uninterrupted.  Complete with that impassive, dimpled smile.

     “D’you want a corsage?” he taunts, at last, in a tone that feigns courtesy while also oozing nasal sarcasm.  The grin spreads, and bares inhumanly perfect straight white teeth.

You should just run up and kiss any boy you like.

*quickly glances at a certain sorcerer swordsman*

Really? And, boys don’t get upset?

//I can't pick one, since they all have their own flavor and as a Lina I am obligated to enjoy many flavors.

Dude that is me exactly. Moo for the nostagia factor, Ishida for the capacity to sound androgynous and velvety dark or sickly sweet or fluxing between both at the drop of a hat.  Siterniklaas miiiiight be my fave, because he captures a lot of ishida’s performance.  But by a slim margin.  

Sooooooooooo Megumi or Lisa for you? :}

//Oh dear GOD, at LAST.  I was afraid the fandom had totally died, lmao.  A LINAAAAAAAA. Awesome, shall we plot or just go for it?  Continuity/season? I set most of my stuff post-Evolution-R, but I’m up for whatever!  Apologies in advance too for cobwebs. I haven’t rped Slayers in a while :U

Hello, I happened to see your post about Xellos/Lina and wanted to say that the more common ship for him is, sadly, with Filia. Which makes even less sense than him being fascinated by Lina's chaotic ways.

I gotta admit, “What if the monster and the dragon who hates him banged” is even more on point re: fandom than “What if the chaotic wizard and the monster who thinks she’s interesting banged.” 

Which is to say 

nice, into it

Sadly it doesn’t. BUT it ends very nicely even so. :)

@wheretreasureglitters as much as i love slayers, ive never actually been able to finish it.  i’ve been looking for the light novels for years because i don’t want to just spoil it for myself. 

i’m glad it ends nicely tho!!!

Lina. When she's solo she's a lot more careful and cunning to watch her own back. She's untouchable when casting her biggest attacks, too, because of the rules of magic.

Yea, I found it kinda hard to see the enemy coming up to her and smacking her in the middle of casting. Though it would be hilarious

Anyway, Lina’s leading by two now.

The Sword of Light works on willpower, not magic. He just uses words to help him focus. Since he was able to say it in SOME language it worked. :)

That would make sense.  There’s a few places in the TV series where he activates it without saying anything at all, but I always wrote it off as something due to time constraints or trying not to bore the audience with repetition.
