*rubs palms eagerly* Who needs sleep anyway...? I'm still reading through all the cs's, so this will just be replies to what I've read through so far.


@AlwaysYours


First impressions of Erik... I think Saul would be slightly annoyed at worst. I know we haven't all officially decided the genre of music for this band, but I'm beginning to suspect that it's a far cry from Saul's favorite. (He listens to some weird shit tbh.) So being as passionate about indie music as Erik was, a genre I feel like he may frequently detest, Erik would just serve as a constant, nagging reminder that Saul is stuck making music he doesn't particularly like. I think that it's kind of a general thing to assume that the lead singer is responsible for the genre of music, so Erik would get a lot of (silent) blame for that.


That being said... I'm not sure about prank wars. Any stunts that Saul ever pulls off are leaning on the malicious side of things. Even if Erik annoyed him for the aforementioned reasons, that wouldn't be enough to warrant Saul's wrath. His "pranks" aren't so much pranks as they are his version of attacks, since he can't exactly swing his ~120-130 pound weight around and in hopes of intimidating anyone. xD So it's important that whatever plot he hatches doesn't get traced back to him. Does that make sense?


On the flip side, I think Saul's kind of "devil may care" attitude about the well-being of the band, which he's surely let slip a couple of times over the past three years, would probably put a bad taste in Erik's mouth about him. So it's not like Saul's progressed into not caring about the music or anything, since he was already at that stage to begin with. xD Unless their relationship progresses past what I've said, since Erik has mellowed down, I feel like Saul probably just... forgets that he exists sometimes, except for in the impossible situations where he's forced to acknowledge Erik (oh, right, lead singer, that once guy, what's his name... Ethan? Yeah, Ethan). (Maybe a slight exaggeration but you get the gist of it.)


@Myrrh Scented


And finally... roomie time. I think I might snag that spot for the one character that truly hates Dante.


I think first impressions he would be okay with Dante, if a little jealous about him being able to be in that other band ("Well, they really suck, but at least they don't suck as much as we do"). There's also the fact that Dante is one of the two "titans" in the band (him and Ben) which would have amused him at first and probably still does... a little bit. From an objective, moral stand point, he approves of Dante's bad habits, maybe even a little please to find someone indulging in them as much as Dante does. However, I think with time, and especially since he's sharing a room with him, Saul will grown worn out with this, and suddenly those bad habits that made him at first like "okay this guy is cool" now seem completely obnoxious.


For one, his tendency to lash out at random (correct me if I'm wrong on this) would force Saul to tread very carefully around Dante. He might be one of the best at handling Dante when he's like this, since he's used to acting a certain way to get a certain reaction out of people, but because of the intensity and frequency of Dante's moods, it probably just leaves Saul exhausted and bitter for constantly having to play the "nice" guy. Those instances on top of the fact that he's constantly having to drag himself to the guest bedroom in the middle of the night (where his fantasies of sweet, sweet revenge eventually lull him to sleep) officially earns Dante the number one spot on Saul's shit list.


That being said, Saul is nothing if not polite to Dante. He'll probably avoid interacting with Dante as much as he can, but when he does have to deal with Dante, I think Saul's probably just smooth talking his way through it and just saying whatever he perceives that Dante would want to hear. Strangely enough, when it comes to dealing with the media, Saul is more complimentary of Dante than he is any of the other band members. The only jabs he'll ever allow himself to make are probably VERY passive-aggressive and littered with double entendres, mostly joking about Dante's height. If they're ever passing each other in a hallway, you may see Saul exaggeratedly swerve around Dante, or when Dante moves around a little too much, Saul will act very worried that Dante may just kind of... crash over. (This also applies to Ben, for future reference.)


Basically, unless Dante somehow cares enough to catch onto how EXTREMELY fake Saul is around him, I can't think of any reason Dante would hold anything against him. Saul probably cleans up the room without complaint, leaves respectfully to allow Dante to have some privacy with the ladies, and oh, he's only every concerned about Dante's well-being! Hehehe...


So, I think three years may be enough time for Saul to hatch a few of his plans to get payback on Dante. Sounds like it'll be akin to Klara's snide comments towards Dante, except actually being put into affect and being used well. I'm thinking for now that Saul hasn't figured out how he's going to completely wreck Dante without it reflecting back on himself (or maybe the plans are still in the works), but I imagine he's bided his time with a few, tiny slices of revenge. I'll need time to think about it, but all I can think of off the top of my head is maybe sneaking in some bad ingredients into Dante's meals that give him food poisoning (I'll have to do some research) and using a couple of various methods to cockblock Dante's "fun nights." I'm actually toying with the idea right now that maybe, after some PARTICULARLY annoying encounter Saul had with Dante, Saul may have even weaseled his way into stealing one of Dante's girls for a night. Then after the fact, when Dante inevitably (?) finds out and confronts him, Saul's reaction would be along the lines of "Oh, I'm so sorry, I had no idea! If I had known, I would have never slept with her. I'm so sorry. " a.k.a. total bullshit.

 

[Polaris.]

So I got lazy and moved onto Kade's relationship with everyone. It'll be short and sweet since he's such an NPC. Lol, hopefully I don't get too attached to him.


But basically:


Kade and Klara: Kade and Klara have mutual respect for each other for they tend to be the one cleaning up the band's image after a scandal breaks out. They both know how the press works and thus Kade uses Klara to do all the branding for the band. Klara doesn't like him very much since she thinks he's too irresponsible and manipulative. She also doesn't like doing work and he keeps giving her more interviews.


Kade and Ben: @AlwaysYours Kade believes Erik is an old jaded soul who happened to be possessing a young body. He likes to sit the guy down and tells him to cry his heart out though it probably doesn't go the right way. Once again, as long as Erik isn't causing problems, Kade is rather indifferent towards him.


Kade and Zadie: @GiannaCoco Kade thinks she's super small and likes to crouch down to talk to her (this could be irritating?). He also tends to pat her on the head and believes she's like a child of the group. He often reminds her that she's done growing and there's no way she'll get taller.


Kade and Ylenia: @Trace Kade is actually wary around Ylenia since she doesn't talk much. He tries to get her to open up by showing her his bachelors degree in Psychology (may or may not work, I doubt it did). However, Kade is mainly indifferent towards her for now as long as she doesn't cause any scandals. Kade also likes her work ethics and how dedicated she seems towards the band.

 

[Pine]

Heheh, I'm very okay with that, Pola.


Real quick before I force myself to go to bed. Sorry Trace, I'll have to read over yours tomorrow. x___x


@GiannaCoco


I think Cassandra and Saul's relationship may be a little dependent on what Cass thinks of him. The first impression Saul would have for her is her short stature. He's incredibly thankful that she's there to take people's attention away from how his height measures up to the two titans, and he expresses his appreciation in the most optimal way that he can: bad puns. At whatever opportunity he gets, I feel like he would throw them around with her. "Don't get short with me." "Who knew Cassandra could be so short-tempered." etc. etc. which... unless she knows that he's just making friendly jests, I feel like she wouldn't like that too much haha. Otherwise for him, since she's so quiet, even if he ends up not really liking her (for not appreciating his shitty jokes?) it wouldn't be enough for her to REALLY irk him.


@Sasil


I read your CS yesterday, and I probably just need to read over it again, but I haven't really gotten too many ideas yet. I think Saul would try to crack jokes about his height at first, but I don't know how well Benjamin would receive this? If it ends up angering him TOO much, then Saul will just stick to his non-verbal theatrics of swerving around him to pass him by and/or acting overly concerned about the collateral damage of if he were to fall over. I think their relationship would be rocky at best. It looks like both of our boys can really hold a grudge, so one wrong move and they'll hate each others's guts. I don't know, what are your thoughts?

 

[Novus]

Oh...geez....This is a group I can put on my big boy pants around. I'll try to be clear about how Erik feel about everyone.


@GiannaCoco- Cassandra: She comes off a bit zany, but for the most part she is alright in Erik's book. The few problems he does have with her is the fact that she is seemingly weak willed. Music is essentially motivation for all things. It's kinda working backwards to keep people pumped if you're feeling like a turd all the time. But, this isn't always the case with her as it is with Saul, so it's forgivable. Everyone has their days.


The fact that Cass tries to mediate everyone in the band is both intrusive and mother-y--which hits a string in Erik, because no one can replace his mother. Not all things can be fixed right away, if at all. And, if she were to push the issue after a very horrid fight, Erik might be inclined to say a few things about her. Especially the fact that she is easily lost in the trance that is stardom.


@Banana Panda- Zadie: Of all of the other members, Erik feels like she'd be the one to barely change at all. She like a firecracker and that kind of personality explodes on the stage. From her clothes to her attitude, she really pops off the screen and I really want to see her put someone in their place--even if it's the Disenchanted Prince, himself.


@Sasil- Ben: I can't, for the life of me, place how my character feels about yours. And we genuinely think he's cool as school. Since we are roommies, I guess we'll have to play it by ear...


[edit] I do, however, think that Erik would take him 100% serious, regardless of his height.


[Part One of Two]

 

[Pine]

@AlwaysYours


*excites* OH


OOOOOOOH


I'm liking this right now. xD Just to clarify, Saul isn't the sort to outwardly complain. He tries to avoid it because reasons (unless explicitly asked for it), but maybe after a while with Saul's general body language and a few roundabout comments, Erik would catch onto Saul's indifference/[sAT vocabulary word that means looking down on something] towards the band. I think a hilarious situation would be that, at some point in their early days of their bands rehearsal, Erik just openly asked everyone like "Alright mystery gang, how did that feel?" and then Saul just unloads a long-winded rant that ends up insulting everyone in some way or another (except Klara, which wouldn't necessarily be an insult if he said he didn't think the band needed two bassists for such a sound, nor would he say anything against Dante, because that would ruin Saul's plans for him). I guess it would be during that rant that he may have IMPLIED a little too much that he blames Erik for the band having such a soft/weak/whatever sound. If Erik were to ever end up actually asking him that, Saul would just shrug and smile, just to see if he could irritate him.


So I think on that note, since Erik annoys Saul the way that he does, Saul probably switched his way to handling Erik over time to intentionally pushing his buttons however he could. As long as Erik proves to not be the physically confrontational type (Erik isn't quite as intimidating as the two Titans are), I can see him provoking Erik from time to time for his own amusement (and somewhat as a method of coping/carefully regulating his distaste for Erik). Hell, I could see Erik trying to get Saul kicked out of the band, but because plot devices exist, obviously this doesn't work. xD


Since Erik started losing his kind of "try-hard attitude," as Saul would so kindly put it, I think he would finally start to back off from trying to irritate the poor guy. I guess for them they would have a mutual dislike, then, but Erik hates Saul a lot more than Saul hates him.

 

[Myrrh Scented]

@FirePolaris


Dante doesn't really have a strong opinion towards anyone in the band, he's just there for himself at this point. So I'm pretty sure he'll treat her with the same level of indifference as the rest of the band members, save Erik, who he would actually take a punch for, though he wouldn't admit it.


Unless you want to try and plot something else out?


 
@Pine


Ohohoho, 'plans for Dante', hmm? I like where this is going.

 

[Myrrh Scented]

@FirePolaris


LOL, @ all the STDs. If it helps, he's an avid fan of safe sex so he's probably only had crabs, like, four times in the last four years and that's "a fucking record or something, man."


Give me a second to fill out a skeleton with Dante's relationships and what not.

 

[Myrrh Scented]

Dante and Erik (@AlwaysYours):




Erik and Dante have the kind of history where he would take a punch for Erik, though his pride would never let him admit it/show it. They have a history of being very good friends before they were swallowed by the paparazzi and limelight. I think Dante can pick up on the fact that Erik is very disappointed in him in one way or another, and for some reason that really affects him. Cue bringing home more girls and taking more drugs. Honestly, it almost rips him apart inside, but he won't show it.

Dante and Klara (@GiannaCoco):

Dante probably can't stand the fact that there's a second guitarist in the band, he's such a stuck-up bastard that he probably competes with her to be center-stage, trying to show her up with bigger solos and a crazier stage performance. Sometimes he can get carried away from with it and annoy the shit out of the other band members with these antics while they're performing. I think he may just dislike her a little more than any other members of the band for just being the rhythm guitarist, regardless of her personality.

Dante and Benjamin (@Sasil):

"Ben Romanovich? Who's that again? The Russian dude? Oh, okay."

Dante can't be bothered to even remember that Benjamin's in the band, because he just doesn't even care about him.




Dante and Ylenia (@Trace):

Dante thinks Yen is fucking hot, and he isn't afraid to come up to her and try to get into her pants at every possible opportunity. He has the mindset that whatever he wants, he gets, and he won't take no for an answer. He gets very pissy whenever he gets rejected by her. He's tried just about every tactic with her at this point. But that's about as far as his relationship with her goes.




Dante and Zadie (@Banana Panda):

Dante thinks Zee is very cute, not exactly smokin' hot like Yen in his mind, but very cute. He doesn't really care for rap but he does find it amusing whenever she raps nonsense like MC Hammer. He doesn't make blatant moves at her though unlike some of the other girls in the band. Otherwise, he generally regards her with indifference.




Dante and Saul (@Pine):

"DUDE, you're in the biggest band in the world and yet here you are not going out and getting laid like any decent rockstar should. That girl's waitin' for you man!"

Dante likes to try and be a bad role model to Saul just for kicks, and this behavior is even worse because of the fact that they are roomed together. Sometimes whenever he's laying someone, he'll stop mid-lay and look over to Sauls' side of the room and just say, "There's still room if you wanna join."

Mostly it's all just a joke, there's a certain shock factor there that he gets off on.

And that pretty much describes the extent of their relationship.​

Dante and Kade (

@FirePolaris):

Dante knows Kade doesn't like him and wants him out of the band, but Dante doesn't hold that against him. If he were Kade, he'd kick him out of the band, too. He doesn't trust going to Kade with his issues, and thus he lets all his pent-up anger and stress boil over onto everyone else. Dante does his best to try and respect Kade's word as a manager.

Dante might end up actually sitting on Saul once he finds out he stole one of his girls LOL

lmfaO


I'm trying to figure out which Saul would be feeling more: pleasure for angering Dante or frustration that sitting on him is yet ANOTHER thing he would have to have his revenge on. I think he would mostly just be in pain... xD


@Trace


Alright alright, last one! SO I think just at a glance (appearance only), Yen seemed to carry the bitchy demeanor that a popular girl would carry (high school flashbacks are the worst). Soon after, though, I think he would see her in enough situations to realize she is ACTUALLY self-conscious, then maybe grow to pity her? Pity derives first from how he feels like she's wasting her time by caring so much, then again for her having to deal with Dante's incessant flirting. So I think he's pretty neutral when it comes to her. Her strong opinions will undoubtedly annoy him if they aren't aligned with his own view of things (most likely scenario in almost all cases), but them he would revert back to feeling sorry for her. xD I don't think they would talk tooooooo much, although maybe their sense of humor is pretty similar? Except maybe no so much when he starts to get a little morbid.


@FirePolaris one more thing I forgot to mention (I think?) of why Saul like 60% approves of Kade. He appreciates Kade's agenda of not wanting relationships between band members. :U

 

[Trace]

Mmykay, so slowly starting to make my way through the CS’s again. I’ll start with the characters who already have something about Ylenia and then work my way past that.


Also just noticed that Ylenia is the tallest of the ladies!


Kade (@GiannaCoco) Ylenia is above average in height so next to her, Cass is going to look tiny (though I suppose that’d be the same for anyone in the band next to Cass)! Cassandra is quiet, though in a way that doesn’t seem to be as forceful as Ylenia's intensity. I think her lack of motivation and her laziness might be the one thing Ylenia might have a problem with, though I don’t think it’ll be a huge issue nor will it carry outside of the rehearsal room. In regards to her being enamored with stardom? Well, Ylenia can understand that, even if she doesn't prescribe to it. I don’t think Ylenia has any actual problems with Cassandra and I think that Ylenia will be friendly towards her. However, I do think their relationship will be largely dictated on how she treats Ylenia.


Saul (@Pine) They’re both such strongly opinionated people that I think they’re definitely going to clash—mostly during rehearsal. Ylenia isn’t going to be the squeaky wheel all the time, but if he says something she doesn’t agree with then she’s going to voice her objection (though Ylenia rarely yells and I doubt she will shout at Saul or anyone else in general). And if he attacks her personally for it, well, she’ll keep going but she’ll definitely feel hurt. I think she considers him a bundle of contradictions and has difficulty reconciling or understanding him. He values logic but engages in reckless behavior. His lapses into depression most likely remind Ylenia vaguely of herself (though she has a strong support system in her older brother) and, as such, she most likely will dislike it if he’s excessive about it. His morbid humor won’t bother her. She’ll blink slowly, unfazed, and then deadpan something at him. Also, Ylenia is only two inches short of him. I’m pointing this out for no reason at all.


Dante (@Myrrh Scented) Hoo' boy, so Ylenia's perspective on things: I think Ylenia likes the side of him that can string together an insightful train of words and thoughts. Unfortunately, he spends so much of his time flirting shamelessly with her that that appeal has pretty much withered—and she’s not so keen to be a part of the revolving door that is his bed. When he flirts with her she alternates between shutting him down hard and, when she’s feeling particularly facetious, giving him ridiculous stipulations that he can’t possibly meet or, well, shutting him down hard in Romani. In general, she’s not afraid to tell him exactly what is on her mind, and I think she’s a bit tougher on him than anyone else (besides herself). Oh, and btw, she hates the smell of cigarettes, so if he ever wants to annoy her he can blow smoke in her face.

 

[Myrrh Scented]

@Trace


I feel like Dante is going to be blowing smoke in her face a lot then LOL


I apologize in advance for his sense of entitlement.

 

[Trace]

-Wheezes- Okay, another!


Ben (@Sasil) Romania isn’t a true Slavic culture, but it certainly has its influences. Angry aura or not, I think Ylenia identifies with him a little bit (regardless of how he feels on the matter, haha) solely because of the fact that he is from Russia and, well, there were plenty of people who spoke Russian in Romania. In that regards, she probably started off more at ease around him than anyone else in the band despite the fact that he can be an, uh, rage monster (but, I mean, there's so many rage monsters in the band I feel like that's a moot point to her by now). However, Ylenia isn’t fluent in Russian and only has a very basic understanding (though I am certain she will understand the majority of his swears), so I doubt she’ll ever try to speak with him in that language (she feels somewhat embarrassed by that fact; her older brother is fluent and he didn’t even spend most of his life in Romania!). I don’t think Ylenia has ever made him angry (though correct me if I’m wrong). Though Ben doesn’t show anyone his songs, I’ll just mention that Ylenia enjoys arranging and mixing music so, in a way, they have that in common. Again, Ylenia’s not a fan of smoking.


@Myrrh Scented Sorry to Ylenia. Definitely not sorry in general. Also not sorry if Ylenia ever tries to snatch his cig out of his hand when he does that (Dante better keep a tight grip on it).

 

[Pine]

@Trace


HmmmmMMmMhMHMhMHMHHHMhmhM. In rehearsals (as with most things) he won't voice his opinions unless someone asks him specifically for it or in those rare moments where something may just kind of... slip out of his mouth (aside from he and Klara tormenting each other). During rehearsals, he's kind of at maximum for how critical he can be, but his criticism isn't exactly constructive. It may look like he cares enough by always having something bad to say, but at the same time, since he isn't exactly trying to help anyone out ("We're going to sound bad either way") maybe that would be what she finds most frustrating...? And maybe when he gets show-offy, which probably happens at least once a rehearsal lol. Once he's past flat out insulting everyone and if she were to actually try to debate with him, I feel like he would refrain from making personal attacks, just because he would be making a fool of himself if he couldn't come up with an intelligible reply. So I dunno'.


I'm also not so sure about how much of that aforementioned reckless behavior she would know about. I can't think of anything that he would ever kind of openly express to his bandmates... except maybe suddenly getting really excited about the prospect of jumping a fence or... ostrich racing. xD I think maybe the most obvious thing would be his inconsistency with how he acts around each person. Constantly doing or saying things to piss Erik off, then turning around and being SUPER friendly with Dante (and I feel like the prospect of Saul actually liking Dante would confuse anyone who thought about it enough... which, lucky for him, Dante isn't one of those people lol).


As far as his lapses of depression, I think that's mostly just sitting/laying in the same place for several hours and refusing to move. He wouldn't whine about it, but he wouldn't exactly acknowledge anyone either. Does that count as excessive? xD


And the two inch different is vry vry important don't u kno.


*whines and crawls back to class*

 

[Pine]

Real quick tho.


@FirePolaris


I just had a thought. How did the forming of the band work out, exactly? Did they audition, were they rounded up by Kade, or...?

 

[Trace]

Another one. One more to go!


Zadie (@Banana Panda) Roomies! Okay, so I think that Ylenia really admires Zadie’s passion. Considering Ylenia can’t rap for her life (though, nor has she tried), I think she has a healthy respect for what she does. Personally, I think that Ylenia thinks Zadie is cool and is at ease around her more so than any other band member because of the fact that she seems to be pretty much the most compassionate of the lot. She doesn’t have to be worried about getting a huge verbal smackdown at the drop of a hat. Yeah. So pretty much on Ylenia’s end…she thinks Zadie is chill and has no problems with her. I can see Ylenia being friendlier to her than anyone else in the group.


@Pine Thanks for clarifying! I'll amend my thoughts. If she disagrees with his opinions, then she will voice it. The fact that he doesn’t resort to personal attacks? That pushes him up into more likeable territory in Ylenia’s mind. However, if he says something like “we’re going to sound bad either way”, then she’s probably going to push him on that thought to try and get something more out of him than just sheer negativity without any construction.


And okay! Even if he isn’t acting openly reckless, I think his inconsistencies are going to confuse her. And I think Ylenia generally associates not moving for hours and looking pensive or vacant is going to make Ylenia jump to the association of: worried about something (though she wouldn’t think to label that as depression). Because, well, Ylenia worries a lot.

 

[Sasil]

Here are Ben’s relationships with this crazy group of people.


Klara (@GiannaCoco) and Ben: Ben thinks she is petite and delicate. That one wrong move could cause her to either have some kind of mental break down or he could break her bones with just taking her arm in the wrong way. He even has had nightmares of him stepping on her—which in the long wrong wouldn’t happen but he still worries that it could happen. Even with saying that I could see the two of them being at least on talking terms perhaps even friends.


Could be more. Maybe your thoughts?


Yen (@AlwaysYours) and Ben: To be honest I couldn’t think of a lot for these two to go off of either. Perhaps the two of them just live in as harmonic friends? They respect the other and don’t tend to bother them too much. Ben my ask to be taught how to crochet or something.


That would be a little funny actually.


Saul (@Pine) and Ben: I think Ben would just shrug off the jokes about his height—probably having to deal with it all his life. Though if he made a good zinger he would most definitely laugh at it. While I think he would appreciate the fact Saul can be so passionate about something, but if he ever did that to Ben he may get annoyed. Holding grudges between the two for sure specially if they argued about something Ben was passionate about.


I am unsure of what else. I’m sorry Dx


Okay. I don’t think I missed anyone if I have I greatly apologise D: I apologise if it is everywhere….I hope that it makes sense.

 

[Polaris.]

Alright no more procrastination and kdramas for me until I finish these relationships. I will have them done soon.


@Pine


Kade was probably interviewing some of them but not all. Just to make it easier there were announcements made and you know how things travel fast over media. Auditions were hosted and after three interviews, you either get accepted or rejected.


So for the people he chose:


1. Klara


2. Ylenia


3. Ben


4. Saul


To be honest here, Kade probably favors the half of the bandmates he chose and doesn't really care about the other half. LOL But since he's managing them all now, he makes sure they aren't messing around and does whatever he can to increase their reputation. He's probably in this for the money and fame rather than the music. This is also another clash between him and the bandmates. They are his money making machine and he really doesn't care about the music they play but what stage will get them the most audience.


The ban on relationships is done during their first year together because he wants the whole atmosphere to be 'professional'. So I'm assuming there's no romantic relationship so far and everyone is on shaky or neutral grounds with one another. Except for Dante and Saul LOL.

 

[Myrrh Scented]

@Trace


She's lucky Dante doesn't hit females because if any of the guys did that he would totally break their noses.


So he'll probably just light up another one in front of her TBH.

 

[Trace]

Last but not least!


Erik (@AlwaysYours) I think Ylenia respects Erik and, provided she knows he plays the cello, I think she really enjoys that particular skill of his. While she loves the insert whatever style of music the bland plays here lol music that Fake Beauty is known for, her first musical love was classical music and acoustic instruments--she still loves what she considers the "real feel" of an actual piano keyboard--not the fake plastic ones that don't have any weight. I think she believes that Erik's disenchanted state of mind is worrisome--because, well, what if he's right? Ylenia's such a dweller that I really think that his own doubts will start to become her own at some point. I also have a feeling that she is somewhat envious of his position as lead singer, considering the fact that she wanted to be one when she was very young. That's a private thought she keeps to herself, however, and she definitely doesn't have eyes on his position or resents him at all.


@Sasil I like the idea of them having a mutual understanding. And, well, she will notice and appreciate if he doesn't smoke around her. If he says a particularly terrible swear in Russian, she probably will start to laugh and then will quickly try to choke it down. While she'd be interested in learning Russian, she wouldn't ask by herself so I feel like that would be a no go unless she could do something for him in exchange--she's a little self-conscious about it, after all.


@Myrrh Scented Lol disproportionate retribution there. Dante doesn't like that? Too bad. If he can't take it, then he shouldn't dish it.

 

[Myrrh Scented]

@Trace


Oh man, they are gonna hate each others' guts so bad LOL.

 

[Polaris.]

@Trace


If asked enough, Kade will bend and get her favors. It really depends on how insistent she is since he's very good at ignoring people. She doesn't seem to be the insistent type so I guess the piano in the apartment depends on her now.


Okay lol, time to type up a storm.

 

[LeSoraAmari]

Thread stalking is still going strong lol hey everyone

 

[Trace]

@Myrrh Scented Welllllllll, Ylenia doesn't like cigarette smoke, especially if it's being blown into her face--if he isn't, then he can smoke all he wants. She's certainly not going to try and snatch it every time but even she has her limits if it becomes routine (lol, oh god). Think of it like a cat. He has only so many times that he can do it without retaliation before something happens. And then it resets and the cycle continues anew~ No hate on her end, though. Mostly 'you should know how this eventually going to end if you keep doing that /sigh' Pftttttttt.


@FirePolaris I feel like when it comes to the piano, she'd probably be pushier about it than most things, haha. Probably didn't go "I NEEDDDDDD IT" to him and pout about it but, uh, she does have strong opinions (and her piano and wanting one to practice and keep up her dexterity on falls under that jurisdiction) and would ask periodically, especially after something successful happened in regards to the band. I feel like she'd figure that that would be her best chance. "Good job = reward"and all that.


 
Also, going to throw this out there, but I think Ylenia's brother totally has a playful celebrity crush on at least one of the members of the band (haven't decided yet because this just popped into my head). He's probably going to be reminding her of it a lot and is going to badger her to let him talk to them or something like that, much to her chagrin.
