Video; Backdated to the 11th

[Written in his cell phone, Arthur broke his period of silence as innocently as one ever could. He was seated on a big cushy chair in front of his cell, which was leaned on a table in front of him.]

I'm between job applications and my hand's crampin' up as a result. Anyone want to hang out, tonight? I managed to pass for 21 at the package store last night, so, y'know--

[He stared dumbly at the screen, realizing he said this aloud and where folks could seriously hear him and remember.]

We got a bunch of stuff. Er, y'know... Dependin' on what anybody'd like to play, right? Emi's house is mostly empty so it wouldn't be a big deal if we were a little loud, y'know?

(OOC: This is a prompt prep for an IC gamenight! Details will be provided if your muse is interested!)

[She giggles, and simply decides to relax in his arms...]

Perhaps they're busy with a few things and will be here eventually...? Still, you always have me.

[Action]

[knights_king]

I do, but you and Dani keep kicking my ass at every game we touch.

[He might have sounded just a little drained--]

I need to see if I'm just that bad or if you're just way too good at these.

Re: [Action]

[scarlet_devil]

Well... [She pouts a little.]

Dani kind of beats me at games a lot too...

[Action]

[knights_king]

[He added, jokingly--]

I bet she cheats.

[Action]

[scarlet_devil]

[The vampire's wings flutter a little against him.]

Sounds like someone's been stomped one too many times...

[A teasing tone, of course.]

[Action]

[knights_king]

Hnnn. [Losing wasn't fun, doubly so when you used to think you were good at it--]

Well, she's really good. Maybe she could make a career outta it or somethin' when she's older.

Re: [Action]

[scarlet_devil]

[He just has to practice, maybe. Though Emi didn't get completely squashed by Dani, at least...]

I'm not sure I'd go that far...

[Action]

[knights_king]

I dunno. They do all kindsa video game things on youtube, now. People make money off of that after they get a certain number of views, right?

[One would have to admit that a Let's Play with a vampire would probably be a hit--]

Re: [Action]

[scarlet_devil]

Hmm, I suppose that might work. Sounds like a 'job' that she would enjoy.

[It probably would, she imagined.]

[Action]

[knights_king]

I'd do that if I could get people to watch it. I don't got anythin' funny to say, y'know?

[Little did Arthur know that there was in fact a market for that--]

[Action]

[scarlet_devil]

[Emi is kind of familiar with this sort of thing, she is known to watch Let's Plays.]

Well, sometimes you do without meaning to.

[Action]

[knights_king]

Oh. Uhmmmm...

[That wasn't Arthur blowing Emi off. That was him staring at her, trying to think of something funny to reply to her with--

Y'know, to prove her right.]

Re: [Action]

[scarlet_devil]

What?

[Emi rather deliberately, and coquettishly, flutters her eyelashes at him.]

Got something to say, love?

[Action]

[knights_king]

Wh--[Crap, you were supposed to be witty fast, right? Not slow?]

I can't think of anything. [He was honest at the very least.]

Re: [Action]

[scarlet_devil]

Oh Arthur...

[She'll kiss the big dope lightly.]

Maybe you she just... let to come naturally. Or leave it to me.

[Action]

[knights_king]

See, I told'ja.

[He just sort of slumped a little. He was the birthday boy, though. He was allowed to claim stupidity.]

[Action]

[scarlet_devil]

Ah, but even so, you have still managed to claim my heart.

[It's not just his birthday, it's a mark that he is a year older now. She hopes that his echoes will include a halt in his ageing.]

[Action]

[knights_king]

[Arthur frowned at Emi, though not at all because he was disappointed or sad. It was because it was his 'go to' gesture for most things.]

You're really good with words, Emi. You do all the talkin'.

[He hugged her, because he really did like doing it.]

[Action]

[scarlet_devil]

Very well then, I shall.

[It was definitely something she liked, among certain other forms of physical affection.]

[Action]

[knights_king]

So, I need you to speak for me at my next job interview.

Re: [Action]

[scarlet_devil]

I would be happy to. So, what job are you going for?

[The vampire smiled, sitting comfortably on his lap, taking a hand in hers.]

[Action]

[knights_king]

Modeling. [He was joking, but Emi had said once long ago(a minute) that he was funny--]

Re: [Action]

[scarlet_devil]

...Modeling? [And here is a giggling vampire.]

[Action]

[knights_king]

W-Well, you didn't need to find it that funny...

Re: [Action]

[scarlet_devil]

It doesn't exactly strike me as being your style.
