Mark XIII

[arrogantalloy]

 Well, I think I can say that was a great way to welcome back the term, don't you?

Because if nothing else, I know how to bring style.

And you know Thor, looks like your Christmas present actually works.

[He is of course referring to the Ravenclaw win.]

I have to say I'm interested to know how you're going to top that horrendously gaudy display in your next match.

[arrogantalloy]

Now, that's coming off a little jealous to me. Hey, it's not like only Ravenclaw's are allowed to come onto the field looking as spectacular as they feel, we're just the only one's who can pull it off right.

[rule_britannia]

Jealous? You can interpret it as jealousy if it feeds into your ego. Personally I prefer to go with style over tacky glitz. I would have thought the latter to be more a Gryffindor thing than something the House renowned for its intellectual prowess would lean towards.

[arrogantalloy]

Wait, opening theatrics aside, because that was for the audience and to annoy your side. In the actual game, we should nothing but style, while you were trying to keep up.

And it was all a well thought out plan that, let's face it, worked.

[rule_britannia]

You got lucky. It won't happen again.

[All good-natured ribbing, right? Right? Maybe.]

[arrogantalloy]

It's just the worlds way to apologize for marking up my face in the last game, I'm sure.

[rule_britannia]

I'm sure. It's all you have going for you after all.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, that and my genius, this is true.

[rule_britannia]

And your unwavering modesty, let's not forget about that.

[arrogantalloy]

Hey, I was being modest. Notice how there weren't any adjectives? Because then I wouldn't have been modest.

[rule_britannia]

Oh, of course. Do forgive me for my most grievous oversight.

[arrogantalloy]

Hey, it's cool. It happens to everyone at one time or another.

But tell me, would you be oh so droll about this if I hadn't done this to your team?

[rule_britannia]

Such a comedian.

That depends. If you'd done it to Gryffindor and won I might be a touch more supportive, but it was still gaudy showboating at best.

[arrogantalloy]

Well I try.

I'm American, if there's one thing we can do. It's showboat. And hey, even being gaudy has moments when it's needed.

[toocoolforthis]

Tricksy, tricksy, Stark.
You'd make a good Slytherin.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, that hat mentioned that. But I've never looked good in sliver or green.

Besides, someone has to make Ravenclaw look less bookish.

[toocoolforthis]

Of course it has nothing to do with the illustrious reputation of the house of snakes.

[arrogantalloy]

Actually it doesn't, I'm American and with the whole living there till I was eight, kind of made it hard for me to give much of a damn about some boarding school and it's housing system.

Realistically the had said I could do a lot of interesting things in Ravenclaw, or Slytherin, and looking at the colours I went with the one I liked.

Really, I look best in red and gold, but that wasn't on the table for me.

[toocoolforthis]

Congrats for turning one shallow reason aside for another. I'm fully convinced of the content of your character.

[arrogantalloy]

When I graduate, I'm going back to America and taking up the family business. So it doesn't really matter what house I'm in, I mean sure it could mean a hell of a lot for everyone else, but when you have your whole life set out in front of you, not a big deal.

[toocoolforthis]

Congratulations on being the heir to such a wonderful fortune.
How impressed I am only grows more and more.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, I'm really sure I get you so impressed. Want me to give you a minute to get it out of your system?

All I'm saying is that houses and what they stand for, don't really mean much to me.

[toocoolforthis]

No, I'm okay. No time necessary.

All right, granted. You're lucky that you can get away from that.

[arrogantalloy]

I'm glad you can compose yourself so quickly. Need a cuddle now?

Yeah, lucky. Let's go with that one.

[toocoolforthis]

And that's supposed to help me compose myself?

Lucky up until the point where it sucks, then.

[arrogantalloy]

They always help me keep composed.

Yeah, let's agree to that part then.

[toocoolforthis]

We can't all have your fortitude with cuddling.

[arrogantalloy]

It can only be improved with practice. And I practice most nights.

[toocoolforthis]

Such scandal.

[arrogantalloy]

Jealous?

[toocoolforthis]

Always, of course.

[arrogantalloy]

You wouldn't be the first. It happens to everyone.

What were we even talking about before?

[toocoolforthis]

The match.
And your wily ways.

[arrogantalloy]

Not really the coyote, but I'd like to think I was pretty up there.

[toocoolforthis]

As far as I remember, the coyote never really won, so you might have managed to get above him.

[arrogantalloy]

Well then, that's really better then when you think about it. But then again, I've never really fallen for a painted corridor, either.

[speterman]

That was well spectacular, marvelous and proper amazing!

[arrogantalloy]

You know, you looked really great in glitter. You should probably make a career out of it when you graduate. 'The twinkling photographer'. Really, the marketing on that is endless.

And you played a good game out there, kid.

[speterman]

As GREAT as that sounds, I think I'm going to have to pass, you know, the whole wearing glitter thing, not really my bag, y'know?

Thanks, so did you! I mean, you always do but... Yeah!

[arrogantalloy]

Looked like it was your bag from where I was standing. It could be your thing, you could be the Adam Lambert of Hogwarts.

[speterman]

Really, there are three things that will never become a part of my life:

Glitter.
Makeup.
Spandex.

Anyway if I glittered whoever I was taking pictures of wouldn't be able to focus.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

We were spectacular.

[arrogantalloy]

The most spectacular. I knew I could trust you to bring the best acting.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Thanks. Who knew watching movies during the holidays would pay off that well? I may have to consider a future in acting.

[arrogantalloy]

I probably have one or more Hollywood contacts if you ever feel like following through on that.

But now we've done that we're going to have to sake it up for our next match, so no one expects it.
