[And reporting live from level fifteen, we have Neil Dylandy as he runs a hand through his hair like a comb before leaning back against the wall and grinning lazily at his sphere.]I think we've got a bit of time to kill before the commander contacts us again. Is there any lovely lady on board who'd be willing to pass it by with me, perhaps over a

If you've got the time to play around, maybe you should spend that time putting your brain to better use!

[The goddess is not impressed at all with these shenanigans.]

[mr_dynames]

I'm not trying to play around, I swear! [But damn it Ammy, his adopted personality is pinged. >: He'll apologize later, honest.]

Though I'm not all that book-smart compared to at least half the others on the ship. [laughs a bit sheepishly] Hey, I've got an idea. What say you and me find some place to think about... well, anything, really.

[celestial_okami]

[Try it when you're nearby, she'll punch you. Unless her new found need for attention is going to kick in. Either way, she's still not looking impressed, and her stare over those sunglasses is rather intense.]

That depends on what you want to think about. I have a few suggestions, and they start with surviving black holes and getting off this damn ship.

[mr_dynames]

[Where some might wither under such a look, he merely offers her a bright smile. The word 'no' is not in his vocabulary.]

I think I can handle that. Maybe we can try to think of ways to get down to the bridge too.

[codenamefire]

[Have a giggle from Noin.]

[mr_dynames]

You think it's funny, do you? [laughs a bit himself as he channels Patrick some more]

[codenamefire]

Yes, I do.

[mr_dynames]

Well, I haven't a clue why I said all that. [his own personality sneaks back for the time being]

[by_my_will]

Enjoying yourself?

[mr_dynames]

[Something about Tieria doesn't seem quite right, but he pushes it aside for the time being.]

Yeah, a bit. How about you?

[by_my_will]

Plenty~. I can't wait to see how Orion intends to play things out this time.

[mr_dynames]

[The gears in his mind come to a screeching halt. That manner of speech grates against him, just as it had any other time he had the misfortune of speaking with the original owner. And he really doesn't like it.]

...Tieria, why are you talking like that Regene guy?

[nosehemorrhage]

[Kanako's bff-worst-enemy! She knows that attitude] .... Sour cola man.

[mr_dynames]

Sour... cola man?

[He pauses, genuinely confused for a moment before going back to being a mix of his charming self and Patrick's flirtatious self.]

Are you sure you're not confusing me for someone else, my dear young lady?

[nosehemorrhage]

That's exactly who you sound like, DO NOT GO BACK TO YOUR DARKER DAYS AS THE ENEMY OF ---

[she stops midsentence to channel her some AU!Axel, smirking smugly at him instead]

Sure you want to be addressing me like that?

[mr_dynames]

Okay, but exactly who is this sour cola man anyway?

[And a bit more of Patrick steps in...]

Why not? I was being honest in my perception.

[redfandango]

It all depends, who's paying.

[Wait...what? Why is he smirking and actually amused at a man's come on's. Little did he know Anko was such a flirt.]

[mr_dynames]

Ah... I'll pay for a woman, but I don't make a habit of going out to drinks unless it's my brother or a friend.

[Patrick's personality recoils at the thought of another man, slowly sinking back into the depths of Neil's mind.]

[redfandango]

[Oh believe me, Itachi is actually covering himself up. No bare chest for you, unlike Anko's regular attire.]

Ignore me. This was not what I meant.
