[ Hey, look, it's a wild York. He's grinning like a fucking dweeb, adjusting this godawful, godawful tiara on top of his head, looking like it started out metal and plain but somehow sparkles and sequins had been hastily glued to it, and when he reaches a hand up to adjust it, his hand is sparkly, too. ]

Gooood evening, beautiful people. It's another uneventful day here, and as I'm the poor loser of a bet gone horribly wrong, "God"-- or Kara, for those of you less religiously inclined, has decided since she wiped the floor with me in cards, that I gotta make good on my end of the bet.

Let it never be said I don't hold up my end of the bargain, but also, she's a friggin' shark, so I wouldn't recommend playing against her unless you like losin' all your money, or, y'know. Tiaras. In which case I got one right here for you.

But anyway. As the floor-wiping did happen, I gotta say that yours truly likes long walks on the turtle's edge, cuddly puppies, and the color pink. In more serious news, I'm also a pretty big fan of burgers and fries, football, Grifball, guns, and pizza, just to kind of try and save some of my masculinity here, since Kara-- uh, "God" has decided I'm not really able to keep it right now.

I feel like it's worth askin'- do we even have a sports team here? Does anyone play football or anything, or would anyone be up for it? 

[ And with that same doofy grin, he waves, and shuts the whole thing off, because, welp, HE FULFILLED HIS END OF THE BARGAIN, kara. 8( ]

[Don't mind the blond over here choking on her own spit. Kara is sitting off camera laughing SO HARD it's not even funny. No -- seriously she's about to start wheezing.]

Oh my frakkin' Gods--

[Okay, okay. Get it together.]

You know, you just issued another challenge for me to win? [Still grinning.]

Ever play Pyramid?

[agentdork]

You are a horrible person. I just want that known.

[ He doesn't look bothered in the slightest, grinning and adjusting his stupid thing on his head so it doesn't fall into his face. ]

Horrible, you know that? And nope, but if you wanna teach me, I will totally learn. No bets though.

Re: action forever

[knowsmadness]

Yeah, but you knew that already.

[Smug. Smug smug smug.]

No bets? Where's the fun in that?

[agentdork]

You're lucky I like horrible people or somethin'.

[ he leans back in the chair, and snakes a hand around to grab his drink, rolling his eyes ]

Are you kiddin' me? I know better!

The color pink, hm? I'll have to make you something special, I think. Perhaps something to match that lovely tiara you're wearing.

[agentdork]

Oh, Christ, no, 'Elle, please for the love of God and all that is holy and ain't, don't.

[ LMFAO PLEASE DON'T TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY OH LAWD. ]

video; XD

[flawedgoods]

Oh come now, don't deny your personal taste. There's nothing wrong at all with a man who's secure enough in his masculinity to admit he favors such a bold color, and you wouldn't be so ungentlemanly as to refuse a gift, would you?

[It's clear from her smile she's not taking him seriously at all but she cannot resist the urge to poke fun at him all the same.]

[agentdork]

[ OH GOD. York drags both hands down his face, just giving her this amused, resigned look. ]

You're killin' me, sweetheart. 'course I'd never dream of being anything other than gentlemanly.

[PEERING OVER HIS SHOULDER.]

Do you? Think it'd fit him?

[ SHOVING HER BACK SFLKHGJKJFS and hissing, ]

Don't encourage her!

[GLEEE.]

Oh, come on-! You'd look great in pink.

[flawedgoods]

Oh yes, of course.

[AND WHO WOULD DISPUTE HER EXPERT OPINION.]

You should bring it over.

[STOP HAVING FUN. >:(((

CT's just. Staring. In complete and utter disbelief. Not that she really should be, maybe - she knows how utterly ridiculous York is, how he has no sense of shame and how much of an utter goof he can be - but York on the network wearing a tiara is still something she never would have expected to see.

It's exasperating and annoying, because York, apparently, had never bothered to grow up, had, to all accounts, come out completely unaffected by everything that had happened in Freelancer, eye injury aside. He's older, there are a few more laugh lines on his face, but he's here, laughing and teasing and probably flirting on the side, and wasting everyone's time in the process. All that potential heartbreak, all that had gone wrong or been about to go wrong, all the reasons she'd decided to leave - and York is just the same as he'd always been.

(he's learned nothing)

And it hurts, too, because she remembers this York - it had only been a couple of weeks since she'd been training alongside him, after all. She remembers the York who had flirted with Carolina and joked with Wash and slipped CT herself extra desserts, the one who always had a kind word for everyone and who always knew when anyone was having a bad day and what to say to cheer them up, and she knows beyond a doubt that she can't have that anymore. He doesn't know who she is now, and he can't know, because she'd betrayed him.

He'd probably shoot her on sight, if he did know, and she couldn't even blame him for it.

And so it's with a mixture of contempt and deep bitterness that she responds, voice low and vicious.]

Are you fucking kidding me.

[agentdork]

[ whoa, buddy. It's that same voice from earlier.

The smile slips off his face, and he blinks at the screen. ]

Uh, nope. Shhhhould I be?

audio

[tuskenlancer]

[She snorts, the sound clearly audible, and just shakes her head. Pathetic. Clueless. He doesn't even know.]

Don't you have anything better to do than this?

[Because, clearly, she's the one who should be dictating how York spends his free time.]

[agentdork]

[ YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME ]

...Not. Really? Listen, man, it was mostly a joke. I don't get what the issue is.

It brings out your eyes.

[The tiara.

Steph is a jerk]

[agentdork]

[ He snorts at that. ]

What, the good one, or the one that's all jacked up?

[controlledvariable]

[a shrug] Tiaras make a good compliment for scars, I've found.

[in her extensive experience.]

[ex_capt410]

Lookin' good, good lookin'. My hat's off to Kara.

[agentdork]

[ He raises his glass up to the screen, a lopsided smirk on his face. ]

She's kinda evil, but it's the endearing kind.

[skort]

... There's someone else here named Kara?

voice;

[agentdork]

Yep! Blonde hair, kinda a badass with a horrible sense of humor?

voice;

[skort]

... Huh. I don't know why, but I wasn't really expecting that to happen.
