"My locket got stolen by an imp. I'll get back to you when I catch it."

"That's nice. I'm sure it'll look lovely on you." Yep, she was being purposefully obtuse here.

[all7seas]

"Or there's this red one." It looked like something the bride of Dracula would wear. Shiny, shiny satin and lace and a terrifying bodice. "I don't know what ladies of your time and place wear."

[isitapony]

"Not that. Our dresses generally only require the wearer to put it on. I think I'd need fifteen people to get me into that." Jack... what're you doing, Jack?

[all7seas]

"I can do it by me lonesome. Get you into it, I mean."

[isitapony]

"Hah, no you can't. What's with the dress fetish, Jack? Suddenly my jeans aren't good enough for you?"

[all7seas]

"Because you're going to dance with me at the party and you cannot dance at a grand party in jeans." Don't get him wrong, though; he loved the jeans.

[isitapony]

"... What makes you think I'm going to the party?"

[all7seas]

"Because you're my date." It was a modern word that he'd picked up from some of the more advanced residents of Caer Scima. He didn't ENTIRELY understand the concept yet but it would probably come with time.

[isitapony]

"This might be a new concept to you, pirate, but you generally have to ask someone if they'll be your date. And they have to accept."

[all7seas]

"Oh.






Be my date?"

[isitapony]

"Shouldn't you be asking Chloe?"

[all7seas]

"Why should I be asking Chloe?" ...Did she know something Jack didn't know?

[isitapony]

"Didn't you say you went and had a bath with her? Doesn't that make you guys..." She did a sort of motion with her hands. Come on, Jack. Figure it out.

[all7seas]

"...Bath-friends?"

[isitapony]

"Mm, a bit more than that." Jack. Jack.

[all7seas]

And he'd gone on a date with Buffy Summers, too. And asked Willow out for drinks. "Veronica, don't be jealous. All she did was scrub the hard-to-reach places. You can still be my date for the party! We'll have a great deal of fun, you and I."

[isitapony]

Yeah, she snorted at that. "I'm not jealous, Jack. Jealousy implies that I want what they have." Look how much she doesn't want it, Jack. She's standing there in a bubble of not-wanting.

[all7seas]

"So that's a yes, then?"

[isitapony]

"Why the hell do you want to go to a party with me? Aren't you sick of me yet? Or afraid for your life?"

[all7seas]

"Because. No. Yes."

[isitapony]

He'd answered in progression and... okay. She grinned. He was an odd little man with odd little habits, but he somehow managed to make her smile. "And what if I don't want to go to some party?"

[all7seas]

"But all ladies love parties! They love putting on frilly things and dancing about!" Stop contradicting everything he knows about ladies, Veronica. "Well then, I suppose...you shall say no to me. Again."

[isitapony]

"Not all ladies like parties." Especially not this lady. "Where did you learn about women? Porn?"

[all7seas]

"You don't like parties?" Wait wait wait....what? "Why?"

[isitapony]

"Long story. Let's just say that bad things happen at parties. So, why would I want to go to one in a place where the moon can get stolen from the sky?"
