PSA: Rogue Broom on the Loose. Watch your head.

[raggedywizard]

Well... This is a bit embarrassing.

If anyone catches sight of a rogue broom on the loose in the city, please contact Sirius or myself so we can put it out of commission before someone gets hurt.

[What?! No shock and awe? Yeah you Sir just became a whole lot more interesting... then again, this conversation started about a rogue flying broom so...]

Pshh. I'm working a line here. You're sup-posed to play along!

[alwaysimpure]

[Well, he's actually quite curious about the exact species there and if the friend is here and what kind of magic this is exactly, but right now it seems cooler to play unimpressed.]

You should have given me a heads up! I'm not used to lines that get my eye colour wrong.

[morethanasidekick]

[Well played Sir. It certainly won you cool points in Kenzi-land.]

Well it was that or they bring out the color in your skin but ya know... Jaundice isn't a look most people can pull off.

[alwaysimpure]

[Achievement unlocked!]

Would probably look awful, truth to be told, I'm way too pale.

[morethanasidekick]

[**Bonus Round**]

Hello! Me? [No really have you seen her lately.]

I invented pale. Just add glitter and I could totally pass as the seventh Cullen.

[alwaysimpure]

You can't have invented pale, my family made pale part of the inheritance.

No, seriously, I was never allowed to play in direct sunlight. I told my brother it was because we're vampires and he believed me.

[morethanasidekick]

Yeah? Well... Maybe your family invented pale but I totally trademarked it!

Wait, really? That's - So - English. Though it could be worse. You could be a ginge. They burn faster than a witch in Salem.

[alwaysimpure]

We'll have to compare paleness, now there's no other choice. Not sure whether the more or less pale wins though.

I'm quite English, so that must be why. Not to worry, though, no ginger in my line of the family.

[morethanasidekick]

Clearly! Loser buys drinks... or winner. Depending on... things.

[Things being whether Kenzi wins or loses.]

Really? I would never have guessed. [All the grinning.] I too come from a thankfully ginger free ancestry. Though I do think I'd look cute with freckles.

[alwaysimpure]

Meaning I buy the drinks no matter what?

[At least he sees through her ruse!]

I've seen some gorgeous gingers in my day, so I'm not knocking it. Or freckles, for that matter.

[morethanasidekick]

Possibly. Maybe. Alright, yes! But to my credit? It was a little bit genius, dontcha think?

[You will learn that along with being crafty Kenzi is also the most modest - ever.]

Hey, no arguments here. I've been ginger once or twice myself. The curtains just never matched the drapes.

[alwaysimpure]

I'll admit that I've witnessed worse attempts. Though that's more an insult to others than a compliment to you.

I feel like I already know you.

[morethanasidekick]

Hey. You'd be surprised how often people fall for that.

Really? I'm at least going to pretend that's meant to be a compliment and move along before you can take it back.

[alwaysimpure]

Drunk people?

Just wait until I pay you a real compliment.

[morethanasidekick]

Hrmm... yeah pretty much.

Oh really? Gotta say... Flattery will get you everywhere.

[alwaysimpure]

I generally use a combination of that, reputation and looking really good.

[morethanasidekick]

Oh is that so? Does this mean you come with references?

[alwaysimpure]

I could probably get some, at least.

[morethanasidekick]

But will they be good ones? That's not a prerequisite for anything I just really wanna know.

[alwaysimpure]

Probably wildly varying, really...

[morethanasidekick]

My first grade teacher said that about my ability to concentrate.

[alwaysimpure]

We have a lot in common.

[morethanasidekick]

Well then. Clearly you must be awesome and we're just destined to be friends.

[...]

So does this mean you'll maybe help me wrangle the rogue broom?

[alwaysimpure]

No, but it means if I ever manage to build a not rogue broom, you can try to ride it.

[morethanasidekick]

Hrmm... I accept these terms.

Now, if ya don't mind. I have a rogue broom to catch!
