voicemail.

[Following the "record your voicemail at the beep" message--]

What? Who gave you the right to order me around? -- W-Wait, was that the beep?

I wasn't prepared--!! [a whispered hiss:] How do you get this thing to stop-?!

[Beep!

You know the drill! IC Inbox for voice/video/action threads for whatever occasion.]

[imagine if Souji did get headbutted by a robot in that second

Regardless she's just going to stare.]

So you want to sate your bloodthirst in my room?

[wtf]

[ wow sate and bloodthirst are trigger words for vampires??? ]

You make it sound bad when you put it that way.

[ because it's not like SOUJI made it SOUND SKETCHY or ANYTHING ]

[GUESS WHO HAS A STAB WOUND AND DOESN'T KNOW SHE'S TALKING TO A VAMPIRE

amazing]

Perhaps it's the actions themselves are bad. Why waste your time like this?

[ Souji shuffles on over to the door. is he leaving so that lili can finally have some peace and quiet??? ]

Whether it's a waste or not, it's too soon to tell.

[ apparently not, since all he does is lean on the side next to it, arms crossed. Settling in for the Wait. ]

You were attacked by a robot, weren't you? Is it dead?

[APPARENTLY NOT.

Lili's just going to frown at that. But also sigh and just move to rub her temples...]

If you're staying, sit down. Your shuffling is just annoying.

[As for his question:]

I presume it is by now.

[she was a little too preoccupied with blood loss to notice it jumping out the window but?? hopefully it's not still out there being a menace??]

[ Souji shuffles on over to a seat and takes his slow-ass time just to be annoying about it. ]

Hmm, is that so? [ His disappointment is Clear on his face. ] But there's still a chance, isn't there? You're not exactly the type of person I imagine has a lot of friends, but maybe there are a few robots out there who're still after you.

[Souji your existence is annoying.

Why are you disappointed??? What the fck. Lili's glaring a little bit, huffing in irritation.]

If all you're looking for is a chance to hunt robots, this isn't the place to do it, idiot.

[ ugh now he just looks amused!!! ]

We'll find out sooner or later if it is.

[ Souji hopes that it's soon. CHANTS DEATH DEATH DEATH jk he leans back in his chair a little, crossing his arms to give Lili a very blunt once-over. ]

So. How'd you get stabbed?

[ CHANTS STORY TIME ]

[Yeah that once-over is met by a glare. Why are you like this? Who raised you to be this way? Why are you so unbelievably awful?

It's a talent.]

Why should I tell you? You're not chivalrous enough to try to protect my honor.

[CALLED!! OUT!!!

like srsly tho sooj's threatened her honor before]

[ Maybe she'll find out during the memshare event, kawink. ]

I thought you didn't want people to protect your honor.

[ okay yes but sooj threatens everyone's honor??? ]

I don't.

[ . . . okay shit, he has a point.

There's just irritation as she shakes her head now.]

You avoided my question. It doesn't matter to you, so why ask? I don't even understand why you're still here.

[JUST TO ANNOY HER?]

I thought I explained that already.

[ JUST TO KILL, OKAY LILI. HE'S HERE TO KILL. He pulls his katana out of his obi belt and lays it across his knees like that's an answer. death ]

I want to know because I'm curious. That's why people usually ask questions.

[ get it lili. he cocks a brow at her. ]

Anyway, you made a big deal about training to protect yourself, after all. It might help if you thought about what you could have done differently.

[Well.

He sort of gets his answer because when she sees the katana, she's stiffening and leaning back immediately. She knows that Souji won't hurt her - well, she assumes - but seeing a sword again so soon frightens her a bit. She can't quite help herself as she inhales quickly but quietly.]

.... I -

I don't... want your lecture.

I know that I made mistakes.

[ Souji's sharp and he also has a sixth sense for discomfort, so it's a guarantee that he notices Lili's very subtle reaction. He tilts his head.

Normally, the given response here would be to slide the sword out of sight, or at least not comment on it. But Souji doesn't move. Instead, he rests his right hand on its hilt. ]

Hey. Are you afraid?

[ of the sword, of the incident. is this just a passing moment of shakiness? It better be, Souji thinks. It'd be better for her, in the long run. ]

[Souji won't hurt her.

But it still gets her pulse to pick up uncomfortably when he lays his hand on the hilt. Kashuu left some time ago, but there's no guarantee that he'll be back. Some part of her considers the logistics of her window plan one more time.

Then she steels herself, squares her shoulders, and looks Souji in the eye.]

Not of you.

[If this is a test - and perhaps it's easier for her to think of it as a test, as a challenge - then she intends to pass it.]
