he hasn't been wearing his monocle yet but i love ray so he's wearing it today! the comment just makes him laugh, from where he's sitting in the kitchen, eating some sort of noodle dish - he reaches up and adjusts the monocle, squinting his other eye shut. ]
Oh? Is it only half? Let me try the other side. [ and he just
Actually, it's just cosmetic. [ gu yun laughs, taking the liuli glass off and pocketing it. he's just got a perfectly normal face, with two perfectly working eyes, though now the red mole underneath one is a bit more obvious. ]
Indulging in fashion accessories is really my style. [ he says this very sarcastically, grinning a bit. ] You're - Megara, right?
what a little shit. anyway. gu yun has no idea who theia is, nor half the food on this plate - it all looks very western - but he doesn't show it any, propping his chin in his hand where he's settled. ]
Really, though, I think it's rude not to learn names when someone's so kindly done the research for us. [ kindly(?) ] Nice to meet you. It seems rude to ask your sin on the first chat, but I guess that's why we're all here, right? I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
[ he lifts his hand to give it a wiggle; a glowing gold crown is on the back of his hand. ]
[ it’s fine. her lip twitches in amusement. so forward, ooooh. ]
I’ll let it slide, just this once.
[ and she flicks her hand around to show off… whatever is going on in the despair icon? it kind of looks like a crying sword? i don’t know. IT’S DESPAIR that’s all that matters moving on. ]
You'd think, but it seems like all of us missed a bit of the fine print. And besides how they did it, why bother? We all knew what we were supposed to be here for, so why shoehorn us all into one thing or another? Seems counterproductive, if you ask me.
[ i'm gonna say that meg is just hanging out in the kitchen. she's not moving much, with her feet and all. when she sees gu yun, she gives him a humorless smile. ]
None whatsoever. [ she says, flatly. ] So, now what? We're supposed to just accept that Wondergirl gets punished for something she apparently didn't do?
Well, I don't know about you, but I wanted to see what would happen before throwing anyone to the proverbial wolves. They weren't exactly forthcoming about what their form of "justice" meant.
[ she leans an elbow on the counter with a sigh. ]
...Seems obvious, doesn't it? All this, after drawing us here by dangling [ waves a hand through the air ] whatever we all want? If that isn't the very definition of manipulation, I don't know what is.
[ considering their incredibly wrong choice. that... wasn't wrong at all. ]
The entire thing was a farce - Beauregard was just as much a victim as Tamaki was. The question is, who set it up that way? Why frame someone for murder, and then have us perform like iron puppets for entertainment?
Well, I suppose we didn't get any fine print at all. Just a chance to agree.
[ gu yun shrugs. he doesn't seem that bothered by it - or if he is, it's not very obvious. ] From what I heard, we were aligned with our sins based on the types of indulgences we'd create. Variety is the spice of life, and all of that.
[ when gu yun enters the tea room, he'll find meg already here, delicately taking a sip from her cup. smiling, she offers him a simple wave in greeting. ]
[ despite how goofy and playful gu yun always is, he never lacks in manners for a beautiful woman. gu yun dips his head, politely, and makes his way over to the table, curious. ] I thought I'd have a cup of tea - to think, someone had the same idea.
gu yun watches meg pour the tea as he comes to settle down across from her, settling down in a puff of dark silk. the thought process moves quickly, and as always, gu yun is too clever by half - he waits until she's finished to ask. ]
[ not a game! he lifts his hand, and moves his fingertip to her palm, then writes, in slow, easy strokes, saying the words out loud as he spells them out in her hand.
[ gu yun watches this dog breathe fire, hands tucked into his belt, and just looks. vaguely delighted? honestly?
he glances over at meg for a second, and then back at the dog. ] You know, animals tend not to like me. I'm starting to think the casualties in this case might be worse than what I'm used to.

You know, I think your specs might be better suited to a cyclops.

this is a joke. ]
no subject
but yea she's watching this happen and just. snorts. maybe it isn't the smartest of jokes, but at least it's better than hades! the bar is so low. ]
Is that how it works? Well, lucky for you, it doesn't take depth perception to indulge.

[ what
well, whatever. she's got some cheese, bread, olives and such things on a plate, so she'll just slide on into a free chair. ]

They gave me the fun one.

anyway. he grimaces, sympathetically. ] You don't seem particularly despairing to me.
no subject
Should I take that as a compliment? We don't all wear our tragic backstories on our sleeves, you know.

Are you suggesting that I do? [ gasp! ]

week 0, saturday.
So? What are we thinking about fairness now?
no subject
a bit idly; ] Fairness, is that what I said?
It wasn't so much about that. [ he doesn't sound particularly bothered. ] Though, there certainly wasn't much to that situation.
no subject
no subject
[ truthfully, he doesn't! and that's the worst! ] I suppose the blame for it falls on those who voted. We could have abstained.
The entire thing feels manipulative, doesn't it?

Would you mind the company?
no subject
[ scoff. ]
Honestly, it’s not that surprising. It’s like the Romans with their Colosseum - death for entertainment is all the rage out there.

[ meg hates it! let her judge! ]
It doesn’t make me feel particularly inclined to actually do it.

Have you lost your ability to talk?
no subject
she won’t make for much of a conversationalist today, probably, so she just grabs a tea cookie to munch on. ]
no subject
Happened to me earlier. [ it was terrible. ] Here. Put your hand like this for a moment.
[ gu yun sets his hands out on the table, palms up, raising his eyebrows. ]
no subject
but she does as he asks. what now, specs? ]

There are ways to talk without your voice.

no subject
clever, aren’t we? ]
week 4, tuesday.
Of course it had to be more demonic little canines. They’re even worse than Cerby.
smooches
he glances over at meg for a second, and then back at the dog. ] You know, animals tend not to like me. I'm starting to think the casualties in this case might be worse than what I'm used to.

So if we find a charred body later this week, it’s you. Got it.
