Frog caught sight of Angel and grinned. He hopped to his feet and bounded over the bed, then bounced neatly to the other bed and sprawled on top of Angel.
"We heard you were having a party," Frog announced. "We figured you'd meant to invite us and had just forgotten."

"What Frog means to say," Angel continued, "is that we were hoping to hang out with some of our classmates. Sorry about the dramatic entrance."
He wrapped his arms loosely around Frog's waist. "I hope we're not taking up too much of the bed."

Rhys had the distinct feeling of his tail flicking back and forth in irritation, despite there not being one attached to him at the moment.
He looked down at Blaise for some hint of how to respond.

"I was under the impression was to knock before entering someone's living quarters, or is that some sort of strange European custom that isn't held up here?" Blaise looked from Angel to Frog. "Though I suppose he did knock, even if it wasn't on the door."
He gave Rhys an uneasy look. He wasn't entirely sure what the proper etiquette was for dealing with magical intruders who apparently wanted to watch a movie with you, and he wasn't sure how he felt about these two in particular.
"I don't think I've even met you before, so I'm not quite sure what you could want with us in particular. Or are you just dropping in to rooms at random and just happened to pick ours?"

"Personally, I try to do my part to negate stereotypes." Angel smiled.
He inclined his head towards Alex. "We're acquainted. Besides, O Lord of Ennui, you might appreciate being on our good side, given how we could make it up to you."

"Oh, we're acquainted," Alex mimicked softly, leaning back and a little away from Angel. "Or rather, I think you and Hitoshi spent some time getting to know each other."
He was trying very hard to watch the movie over all this nonsense, and failing.

Blaise pursed his lips, trying to focus on the individual people and emotions in the room. He wasn't used to having this many people in such close proximity to him, and as enclosed as the room was, it was beginning to make his head spin.
There was something almost...dusty, but not quite, about the two intruders. Being around them made his nose tickle, like was about to sneeze. He couldn't quite find Alex's scent underneath it, much as he looked for the clean minty smell that seemed to hang around him. Rhys was at least a little easier since he was right behind him, but even finding the soft woodsy smell of his roommate was like trying to see through fog. He couldn't remember being around any single person that through off his senses so severely, and that unnerved him.
"Je doute que tu aies n'importe quoi que je voudrais," he murmured, his words rolling off his tongue so poetically that his near-perfect English seemed clumsy by comparison. "Mais...je vous écouterai."

Angel smirked, dredging up knowledge he hadn't thought of in years.
"I'm so glad to see we can work this out like gentlemen," he replied in French. "Would you require the details worked out immediately, or shall we save it for later?"

"I said I would listen, not that I agreed," he replied evenly. "I'd like to know what your offer is before I make any decisions."
Blaise was no idiot. He may have been used to having things handed to him, but he knew everything came with a cost, particularly offers this suspicious. He didn't even know who this person was until tonight.

Angel looked surprised; he glanced at Frog.
"For letting me watch a movie with you? Uh..." He looked Blaise over, then the room, then Rhys. He sighed deeply. "What-the-fuck-ever, I'm feeling generous. You want your greatest desire? Room full of candy, date with a princess? Think I'm going to fuck you over, I could get you into the Sorbonne once you graduate or something boring. Flying castle, maybe?"
He gave Blaise a flat look. "Name something."

Blaise looked at him incredulously. "Name something. You really expect me to believe that you can grant me any abstract demand I make, like you're some sort of mystical genie dropped on my doorstep, no disclaimers or anything?"
His gaze slid up to Alex, then back to Rhys. There was no way in hell this guy was serious. "And what happens if whatever you promise me doesn't come true?"

"No, I'm expecting you'll realize how fucking stupid this entire conversation is," he growled. "Are you that ruffled about having more guests or not? We honestly just want to hang out."
"You want to make this some kind of mystical fucking demand, or a request to get chips and drinks, or you just want to stand there like some kind of piss-addled village idiot who's never seen magic before, it's up to you."

"You appear out of bloody nowhere on my roommate's bed and start making cryptic offers to give me whatever the hell I can think of, and you're acting like I'm the insane one?" he snapped. "If you can give me anything I can think of..."
The warm, woodsy scent of his roommate wafted up from behind him, and for just a moment it seemed stronger than the dusty scent of intruders. Several different options ran through his mind.
"It's Rhys' room as well. You should ask what he wants."

Angel snorted and looked over to Rhys.
"Fine," he continued in English. "What do you want?"

Rhys watched his roommate argue with the random fucking purple-haired guy in French for a while. Alex seemed to be sitting there trying to ignore everything, and the blond one at the window seemed perfectly content to sit in the purple-haired guy's lap and cuddle. The only thing keeping him from getting up and leaving was that they were all on his bed, and he had no idea where else he could go.
He gaped at Angel for a moment, then sat down on Blaise's bed.
"I have no goddamn clue what either of you are on about. Can we just... go back to watching the movie? I was kinda having fun with this douchebag suddenly being nice to me."

Angel smirked and nudged Frog's forehead with his nose.
"What do you think we should do, snake?" he said softly, in a strange old language.

Frog tumbled forward into the floor and knelt at the edge of Blaise's bed, his chin resting on the mattress. He smiled sweetly.
"What funny people, to not know what they want," he mused. "Since they don't know what they want, I think it would be good for them to learn."
Frog hopped onto Blaise's bed and pressed one thumb to Blaise's forehead and one to Rhys'. He pulled back after a few moments, his thumbs leaving a warm tingling feeling in their wake.

Blaise tensed slightly under the blond boy's touch, backing unconsciously toward his roommate. Even after he backed away, the spot between his brows seemed to tickle. Blaise shivered slightly; he wasn't sure what had happened, and he couldn't help but wonder if it might have been smarter to just have asked for a Coke instead.
He looked nervously at his roommate and wondered if he had any more idea what the hell just happened than Blaise did.

Rhys jerked away from Frog, but not so far that Frog didn't just move a little closer. He rubbed his forehead and suppressed a snarl, glancing back at Blaise when the other boy looked at him.
This was freakish even by his lax standards.
"Are we done yet?"

Post by Angel Kapur on May 23, 2010 3:15:49 GMT -5
"Sure," Angel said plainly.
He shrugged and flomped backwards on Rhys' bed to watch the movie, idly reaching one arm out in a vain attempt to collect his snake.

Frog returned to the bed, curling up beside Angel and snuggling into his side. He would certainly be keeping an eye on these two. In theory, the charm would begin working tonight...

Blaise scooted back against the soft pillows on his bed, staring at his roommate for a long while and wondering what the hell had just happened.
After a few minutes, he grinned back at his roommate mischievously. "I can't help but notice how eager you were to jump into my bed," he commented.

Rhys flopped forward as Blaise scooted back, laying on his stomach and watching the movie. He had no idea what the hell was going on anymore, but it was far too easy to just watch, to slip down past expecting a pattern somewhere and just watch images of scentless twitching creatures move across the screen.
Blaise spoke, and it took a moment to shift his gears back up. He turned his head back and raised an eyebrow. Seriously? Could he not shut up with the fake flirting for five whole minutes?
"There is something wrong with you," he answered, and turned his head back around.

Alex was worried. He couldn't see anything in particular that Frog had done to them, but whether that meant there was nothing there or he just couldn't see it, he had no idea.
He kept one eye on Frog and Angel, not really knowing what to think. Frog seemed sweet enough, especially laying there curled up- he hadn't really understood until now that the two must have been dating or something, not just associated in some way- but he was a sort of sweet that Alex found extremely familiar.
Something similar to what he saw in Hitoshi, but far less... of something.
(Angel caught Alex's eye as the boy looked over his snake, and gave him a small smile before turning back to the TV.)

Blaise sighed. "You're just not being any fun today."
He looked over at Alex and grinned. "You're welcome to join us over here if you want," he said, patting the spot next to him on the bed. "Rhys isn't being very good company."
