DCMemorial: -Sitting on the couch in the living room, eyes were glanced downward as they followed the words on the page of the book he was reading. Headphones were on his ears, the sounds slightly blaring from the speakers on his ears-
Faeriesandteaplz: *crossing behind the couch towards the stairs, he stopped, glancing down at DC* ........ *leaning on the back of the couch, he tapped him on the shoulder lightly, watching him with a slight frown*
DCMemorial: ...? -Picking up his mp3 player and turning off the music before taking off his headphones, he put the bookmark to mark the spot of his book and set it off to the side. Looking back at England, his head tilted to the side and pushed up his glasses- Taip senelis? Something wrong?
Faeriesandteaplz: I could ask you the same thing, kid. I've noticed a few things in the past couple months that you can probably tell me about. *walks around and sits down on the arm of the couch, crossing his arms*
DCMemorial: ...Ok...Shoot. -Looking more confused, his head slightly tilted to the side- Nothing's been going on over the past two months except for everything that's been going on with Russia, but...What makes you think that something's been going on with me?
Faeriesandteaplz: .....well, for starters, I haven't seen you with Aislinn in... a long time.
DCMemorial: ...Ok...And? What about her? >>
Faeriesandteaplz: I don't know. I haven't seen her since April, which is /really/ unusual. So what happened?
DCMemorial: ...She hasn't been seen since April?...It was her fault anyway. >>
Faeriesandteaplz: ....you're not answering the question.
DCMemorial: ...Why would I senelis when it's really only my business?
Faeriesandteaplz: Because I have to live next to her, and if something isn't done, she's going to be /impossible/ to handle when she decides to come out of hiding, so it's my business too. What happened?
DCMemorial: ...Alright, alright. We had a big fight after she flat-out insulted me, I finally got fed up with all of her crap...I just...Snapped. I don't know why I did but I...I couldn't help it. I still don't know why I put up with it for so long, but after the fight I told her I was through.
Faeriesandteaplz: *frowns slightly, staring at the floor* .....I'll keep my personal opinion on the matter to myself, but... what exactly did she say?
DCMemorial: ...Does that really matter senelis? -Letting out a quiet sigh, he took off his glasses for a second so his vision blurred-
Faeriesandteaplz: Seeing as I'm going to be the one sorting this mess out and I wasn't there, yes, it matters.
DCMemorial: ...To put it simply? She pretty much called me an idiot because I'm mixed blood, I can put up with a lot...But when she insults me because of what I am, that just crosses the line. Ar tu tikrai kaltas man vis taip piktas, kaip aš? I didn't mean to snap į ją, aš tik ... padarė. [ "Can you really blame me for getting as angry as I got? I didn't mean to snap at her, I just...Did." ]
Faeriesandteaplz: ...I'll be perfectly honest, I'm surprised you lasted as long as you did without snapping at her. But she's worse than I am with words..... I can't believe I'm about to say this, but have you considered the idea that... maybe... you misunderstood?
DCMemorial: I didn't misunderstand, she made it perfectly clear what she really thought. If that's what she really thinks, she should have said so sooner so I could've saved myself and her a lot of time and wasted effort. Ji gavo tai, ko atėjo, ji buvo ilgą laiką ateina ... [ "She got what was coming, it was a long time coming..." ]
Faeriesandteaplz: Si vous ne parlez pas anglais, Danny, je ne vous comprends pas. Inconvenient, isn't it? [ "If you don't speak English, Danny, I can't understand you." ]
DCMemorial: ...Taip senelis...I can't help it, I just do it without thinking.
Faeriesandteaplz: You need to start thinking, then. You've been doing that more and more lately.
DCMemorial: ......-glancing off to the side, he murmured more to himself- Aš, kai aš Sužadinimo ar neramu ... Ar buvo daugiau ir daugiau paskutiniu ... [ "I do when I'm flustered or worried...Have been more and more lately..." ]
Faeriesandteaplz: Anglais, Daniel, if you please.
DCMemorial: ...Alright senelis...I switch mainly when I get flustered or worried about stuff...Or...-mumbling- When I'm around people I don't like...>>;
Faeriesandteaplz: *nods thoughtfully* That's fair... Not very productive, though... What are you worried about, then?
DCMemorial: ...Seriously senelis? You're really asking me something like that? -Grumbling quietly and putting his glasses back on, his gaze shifted more to the side-
Faeriesandteaplz: Yes, I'm really asking you something like that. You're worse about keeping things that bother you to yourself than I ever was, and /I/ never did well with it. Now start talking. *shifts to actually sit on the couch, legs crossed as he leaned into the corner, facing him*
DCMemorial: ......-He remained quiet for a couple of minutes, gaze still shifted off to the side- With everything happening all at once, you really think I'd really keep my composer very well? First the fight and break-up with Ais, and now this whole thing with Russia? With mama and dad having to be heading up the main group to get everyone out, I've been having to pick up the slack even though I'm here to keep an ear open for whatever news I can get...It's really starting to feel like WWII again...And that I've been trying to just forget, but it's coming back again with all of this happening...
Faeriesandteaplz: ....that was a thousand times worse, and a thousand times larger. You probably know that. But I know what you mean. As for the deal with Russia... *sighs, rubbing his forehead with one hand* I try not to think about it. If you can't do anything about it immediately, you're just killing yourself with worry, to no end. When the time comes that you /can/ do something, start thinking about it. Until then, just do what you can, where you can.
DCMemorial: ...I guess so...I really can't help that though... Man visada buvo tas, kuris jaudina ... [ "I've always been a worrier..." ]
Faeriesandteaplz: Can't help what, exactly?
DCMemorial: ...Nothing, forget about it senelis. -He murmured, leaning back against the couch- I'm just being an idiot and worrying over nothing...That's all.
Faeriesandteaplz: You've never worried over 'nothing.' It's not 'nothing,' by any stretch of the imagination. What it /is/ a matter of is recognizing that you can't do anything right now. *gives a very slight smile* Not a particularly good situation to be in, I know, but... well, what can you do?
DCMemorial: ........I know...I know...I really do...I...I think to much, don't I?
Faeriesandteaplz: Yes, you do... Side effect of intelligence, I suppose. Well... in your case, at least.
DCMemorial: ...A side effect? What do you mean?
Faeriesandteaplz: People that think are either smart, or have too much time on their hands. You *points at him* are a prime example of the former.
DCMemorial: ...-small smile- Not really, I'm just a bookworm. That's all I really am.
Faeriesandteaplz: ...you can't really think that.
DCMemorial: ...That's really what I am though, I've always been that way.
Faeriesandteaplz: But that isn't /all/ you are. Don't even try to downplay yourself, especially not to me.
DCMemorial: I'm not though, just being honest. -shrug-
Faeriesandteaplz: ......Daniel Conner Jones, you're smart enough that, if you were anyone else, I would be terrified.
DCMemorial: -brow raise- Terrified? Why?
Faeriesandteaplz: *rubs the back of his head, looking down at his lap with a slight smirk* Because intelligent people do big things, and that's not always a good thing.
DCMemorial: ...Like I said senelis, I'm really not all that intelligent. Besides, a kid really can't do that much anyway.
Faeriesandteaplz: ..... *glances up at him through his bangs, smirking* You're full of shit. Especially if you expect me to believe that you actually think that. You're not just any kid, and you know it.
DCMemorial: ......-his lips slowly curled into a small smirk, shrugging- Maybe, maybe not senelis. If you're really that confident on your theory...How about we test it?
Faeriesandteaplz: ..... *looks up at him properly, raising an eyebrow* I'm not sure I like that idea... Test it how?
DCMemorial: I don't see why you wouldn't senelis, after all you /are/ a lot older than I am. How about a game of chess? That is, you do know how to play right?
Faeriesandteaplz: .... *sighing slightly, almost resignedly, he stands and crosses to the bookcase, picking up the chess set there and coming back, placing it on the coffee table unfolding it, setting the pieces out* Black or white?
DCMemorial: Hmm...I'll let you go first, so I'll take black. -giving a small grin, he pushed his glasses back up the bridge of his nose and tucking his bangs behind his ears-
Faeriesandteaplz: ... *sighs again and mutters, moving his first knight out* Comme si ça va faire une différence ... [ "As though it'll make a difference..." ]
DCMemorial: Jūs iš tiesų manote, kad bus dirbti man senelis? -lips curling, he moved his own knight out- [ "You really think that will work on me grandpa?" ]
Faeriesandteaplz: *glances up with a very slight, almost wry smirk, sliding his pawn forward* Cela ne rend pas pour la conversation très bonne, non? [ "This doesn't make for very good conversation, does it?" ]
DCMemorial: Fine, we'll level the playing field. -moves his own piece forward- English from now on, at least during the game.
Faeriesandteaplz: Oh, but I was having such fun... *stares at the board for a long moment before moving again*
DCMemorial: Yeah, so was I but it would make things much more...nuobodus. -shrugging as he looked at the board for a second before moving- ["boring" ]
Faeriesandteaplz: You just broke your own rule. Anglais, oui? *moves the bishop out and forward*
DCMemorial: -Gives another shrug, lips curling as he looked at the board for a second before moving again- Sure sure, we'll stick with English. I don't get why you don't speak French more honestly.
Faeriesandteaplz: *glances up at him, brows furrowed, before moving another piece* And why's that?
DCMemorial: ...-His smirk continued to grow, moving his piece forward after thinking for a few seconds- Because you're going to be speaking it a lot more now.
Faeriesandteaplz: .... *moves a piece quickly* How do you figure?
DCMemorial: Because it is very obvious that you are, besides...It'd make things more...Interesting. -tapping at his chin, he moved his piece after a minute-
Faeriesandteaplz: *regards the board thoughtfully* ...you're one of two people that even know I know French... *moves his next piece*
DCMemorial: ...Wait...No one else knows? -Blinking with a tilted head, he looked toward Iggy before making his own piece a second later-
Faeriesandteaplz: Hm-mm... *stares at the board for a long moment before moving his piece* It's been a long time since I felt the need to speak anything but English...
DCMemorial: Still...It would make things a lot more...Interesting. It would help you more in the long run...^^ -moves his piece after a minute of looking at the board-
Faeriesandteaplz: I'm not entirely sure how. *scowls as he looks at the board before moving*
DCMemorial: Well then, I don't see why I would even bother to try and explain the actual benefits of it now, would I? Especially since you always do manage to move your foot down your throat so far that I'm surprised you haven't choked on it yet. -glances up toward England with a small smirk before moving his own-
Faeriesandteaplz: *rolls his eyes, smirking slightly before moving his next piece, trying to close the opening just there* Wonderful. Now I can choke on my ankle in two different languages.
DCMemorial: I dunno senelis...-shrugging, he moved his own to open up the opening even more- I've always found it to be very...Useful.
Faeriesandteaplz: *scowls and slides a piece automatically to block the black piece's approach* Are you going to tell me how it's been useful?
DCMemorial: I don't see why I would, after all...-smiles, moving his own piece- Jūs ką tik perkelti tiesiai man į spąstus. [ "You have just moved right into my trap." ]
Faeriesandteaplz: .....J'ai un sentiment qui n'a rien à voir avec les langues. *scowls and slides another piece, taking a rook but feeling distinctly as though that was a bad idea* You're not making a very persuasive argument, though. [ "I have a feeling that had nothing to do with languages." ]
DCMemorial: Not making a persuasive argument maybe...However senelis...I did distract you long enough...-He gave an innocent smile, moving his knight forward- And I do believe that is a checkmate.
Faeriesandteaplz: ....merde. *tips his king over with one finger, looking up at Danny* It wasn't about being distracted, though.
DCMemorial: That may be so, I do think that it's all a matter of perspective. Lack of focus, wasn't it senelis? How else could it possibly be that I beat you? Or was it maybe just a fluke? ^^
Faeriesandteaplz: *scowls* .....
DCMemorial: Hmm? Got nothing to say? -small smile, tilting his head cutely to the side- I am still surprised I was able to beat you, after all...You are older, more experienced, and more intelligent than I am.
Faeriesandteaplz: Older, yes. More experienced, definitely. More intelligent? Hardly. >> And you can drop the facade. At this point the cute-innocent act is just annoying, from you. I know you better than that.
DCMemorial: I don't know what you're talking about. -headtilt-
Faeriesandteaplz: That's complete and utter bullocks.
DCMemorial: -Gives a shrug, grinning in a calm manner- Maybe you're just paranoid?
Faeriesandteaplz: Not this time, I'm sure. >>;;;
DCMemorial: Ok...Then tell me senelis, what makes you so sure?
Faeriesandteaplz: The fact that you rarely speak up, for starters. Second, right now, specifically, I just know that expression. On you, it speaks volumes.
DCMemorial: Oh, and if you don't give anything substantial to try and prove your theory...Then, your theory can be proven invalid on the basis that you gave no evidence or no explanation as to why you are so sure.
Faeriesandteaplz: And you've been careful not to give me anything concrete, haven't you?
DCMemorial: Alright...And what makes you think that then? You haven't given me anything concrete either.
Faeriesandteaplz: .....you're asking me to give you specific examples of your behavior that supports my theory that you never don't know what you're doing. You.... *breaks off, looking at him thoughtfully* .....
DCMemorial: I...What? -His smirk only continued to grow, headtilting to the side-
Faeriesandteaplz: ....you've very carefully made it completely impossible to ever prove anything against you.
DCMemorial: So...You have nothing to prove your so-called theory senelis?
Faeriesandteaplz: Check the definition of 'theory,' Danny. But no... I have nothing to support it... Vous avez fait en sorte que rien ne pourra jamais revenir à vous. Absolument pas désœuvré. [ "You've made sure that nothing can ever go back to you. Absolutely no loose ends." ]
DCMemorial: -A slight trace of a cheeky grin curled on his lips, shrugging as he got up and picked up his book and mp3 player- That's what I thought, if you have nothing to prove it then we shouldn't be having this discussion.
Faeriesandteaplz: ....if you say so. *picks up the chess set, putting the pieces away before standing and going to put it away, muttering under his breath*
DCMemorial: Hm? What was that senelis? -Looks back at him with a small smirk, walking toward the hallway with a small yawn-
Faeriesandteaplz: *glances back at him* Shakespeare, Daniel. I'm sure you've read it.
DCMemorial: Of course I have...What passage was it?
Faeriesandteaplz: Hamlet. Spoken by Claudius, if I remember correctly... *goes back to pick up the box he had been taking to the attic before getting sidetracked*
DCMemorial: Oh, so are you now comparing me to Hamlet senelis? -turns so that his back was to his grandfather, his smirk only broadening- If you were quoting Claudius, you might want to watch your back then...Hope that no one puts poison in your ear like Claudius did to his brother in order to take the crown. G'night senelis, sleep well. -Disappearing down the hallway and into the room he was staying in, he closed the door behind him as he gave a quiet chuckle to himself- Palyginti su Hamletas ... Laimei, jo ir visi kiti aš neturiu į apsimesti beprotybė, siekiant paslėpti tai, ką aš tikrai manau. [ "Compared to Hamlet...Lucky for him and everyone else I don't have to feign madness in order to hide what I truly think." ]
Faeriesandteaplz: .......goodnight, Danny... *sighs and shakes his head slightly, heading back up the stairs*
Faeriesandteaplz: *crossing behind the couch towards the stairs, he stopped, glancing down at DC* ........ *leaning on the back of the couch, he tapped him on the shoulder lightly, watching him with a slight frown*
DCMemorial: ...? -Picking up his mp3 player and turning off the music before taking off his headphones, he put the bookmark to mark the spot of his book and set it off to the side. Looking back at England, his head tilted to the side and pushed up his glasses- Taip senelis? Something wrong?
Faeriesandteaplz: I could ask you the same thing, kid. I've noticed a few things in the past couple months that you can probably tell me about. *walks around and sits down on the arm of the couch, crossing his arms*
DCMemorial: ...Ok...Shoot. -Looking more confused, his head slightly tilted to the side- Nothing's been going on over the past two months except for everything that's been going on with Russia, but...What makes you think that something's been going on with me?
Faeriesandteaplz: .....well, for starters, I haven't seen you with Aislinn in... a long time.
DCMemorial: ...Ok...And? What about her? >>
Faeriesandteaplz: I don't know. I haven't seen her since April, which is /really/ unusual. So what happened?
DCMemorial: ...She hasn't been seen since April?...It was her fault anyway. >>
Faeriesandteaplz: ....you're not answering the question.

Faeriesandteaplz: Seeing as I'm going to be the one sorting this mess out and I wasn't there, yes, it matters.
DCMemorial: ...To put it simply? She pretty much called me an idiot because I'm mixed blood, I can put up with a lot...But when she insults me because of what I am, that just crosses the line. Ar tu tikrai kaltas man vis taip piktas, kaip aš? I didn't mean to snap į ją, aš tik ... padarė. [ "Can you really blame me for getting as angry as I got?

Faeriesandteaplz: *glances up at him, brows furrowed, before moving another piece* And why's that?

Faeriesandteaplz: *scowls* .....
DCMemorial: Hmm? Got nothing to say? -small smile, tilting his head cutely to the side- I am still surprised I was able to beat you, after all...You are older, more experienced, and more intelligent than I am.
Faeriesandteaplz: Older, yes. More experienced, definitely. More intelligent? Hardly. >> And you can drop the facade. At this point the cute-innocent act is just annoying, from you. I know you better than that.

Faeriesandteaplz: The fact that you rarely speak up, for starters. Second, right now, specifically, I just know that expression. On you, it speaks volumes.
DCMemorial: Oh, and if you don't give anything substantial to try and prove your theory...Then, your theory can be proven invalid on the basis that you gave no evidence or no explanation as to why you are so sure.
Faeriesandteaplz: And you've been careful not to give me anything concrete, haven't you?
DCMemorial: Alright...And what makes you think that then? You haven't given me anything concrete either.
Faeriesandteaplz: .....you're asking me to give you specific examples of your behavior that supports my theory that you never don't know what you're doing. You.... *breaks off, looking at him thoughtfully* .....
DCMemorial: I...What? -His smirk only continued to grow, headtilting to the side-
Faeriesandteaplz: ....you've very carefully made it completely impossible to ever prove anything against you.
DCMemorial: So...You have nothing to prove your so-called theory senelis?
Faeriesandteaplz: Check the definition of 'theory,' Danny. But no... I have nothing to support it... Vous avez fait en sorte que rien ne pourra jamais revenir à vous. Absolument pas désœuvré. [ "You've made sure that nothing can ever go back to you. Absolutely no loose ends." ]
DCMemorial: -A slight trace of a cheeky grin curled on his lips, shrugging as he got up and picked up his book and mp3 player- That's what I thought, if you have nothing to prove it then we shouldn't be having this discussion.
Faeriesandteaplz: ....if you say so. *picks up the chess set, putting the pieces away before standing and going to put it away, muttering under his breath*
DCMemorial: Hm? What was that senelis? -Looks back at him with a small smirk, walking toward the hallway with a small yawn-
Faeriesandteaplz: *glances back at him* Shakespeare, Daniel. I'm sure you've read it.
DCMemorial: Of course I have...What passage was it?
Faeriesandteaplz: Hamlet. Spoken by Claudius, if I remember correctly... *goes back to pick up the box he had been taking to the attic before getting sidetracked*
DCMemorial: Oh, so are you now comparing me to Hamlet senelis? -turns so that his back was to his grandfather, his smirk only broadening- If you were quoting Claudius, you might want to watch your back then...Hope that no one puts poison in your ear like Claudius did to his brother in order to take the crown. G'night senelis, sleep well. -Disappearing down the hallway and into the room he was staying in, he closed the door behind him as he gave a quiet chuckle to himself- Palyginti su Hamletas ... Laimei, jo ir visi kiti aš neturiu į apsimesti beprotybė, siekiant paslėpti tai, ką aš tikrai manau. [ "Compared to Hamlet...Lucky for him and everyone else I don't have to feign madness in order to hide what I truly think." ]
Faeriesandteaplz: .......goodnight, Danny... *sighs and shakes his head slightly, heading back up the stairs*
