-4 Woolongs (Backdated to Thursday) [Action]

[3nterprising]

[A box of chocolates was a strange thing to find in one's room. Especially when one did not place them there herself. Finding a cake was even weirder. Faye is suspicious about these sweets. If they came fro the castle, they could either be really good, or really bad. Or perhaps both. Which is what she feared the most.

Of course, the cryptic literature that came with the food was no help at all. So se decided to have just one chocolate. You know. Just to test it out. If she died a horrible death or got food poisoning, there'd be her answer.

There seemed to be no effect... until she left her room. As she goes about her way throughout the castle, the sight of just about every person made her smitten, giddy, emotional, or something of the like. This could end up being a long day, especially considering she doesn't quite take notice of the effects.]



[[OOC: Which chocolate did she eat? Why not chat her up and find out.]]

[3nterprising]

Oh, don't be such a lunkhead.

Chocolate?

[She holds out the box to him.]

[gottaknockhard]

[He peers at the sudden box suspiciously, like he's only now focusing on her.]

Where did you get that?

[3nterprising]

A secret admirer.

[Lies.]

[gottaknockhard]

[He frowns, instantly thinking of one person.]

And you're making sure they aren't poisoned?

[3nterprising]

Well, I'm still alive.

[gottaknockhard]

[...So she gets a mysterious box of chocolates and chows on down.

You know, whatever. It's not his job to watch her back.]

Congratulations.

[3nterprising]

So do you want one, or not?
My generosity won't last forever, you know.

[gottaknockhard]

I'm not a big fan of chocolate.

[Considering who they might be from, he can't take too many chances.]

[3nterprising]

[He seems suspicious about something. But that's not particularly uncommon with Spike.]

Fine. More for me, then.

You don't actually think they're poisoned, do you?

[gottaknockhard]

[He shrugs, like he doesn't practically expect it.]

You never know.

[3nterprising]

You are such a stick in the mud.

[gottaknockhard]

Common sense will do that to you.

[3nterprising]

Well, there's common sense and there's paranoia.

[gottaknockhard]

You think I'm paranoid?

[3nterprising]

Yeah, I do.

[gottaknockhard]

[He can't necessarily argue that, which causes him to frown.]

Maybe my years in a magic castle spoiled holidays for me.

[3nterprising]

Well. Your loss.

[gottaknockhard]

I'll try not to be too torn up about it.

[3nterprising]

You torn up about something? That'll be the day.

[gottaknockhard]

[Don't be obnoxious, Faye.]

You know me. Heart of stone.

[3nterprising]

[That's asking a lot.]

That sounds about right.

[gottaknockhard]

[He hopes agreeing will be enough to satisfy her and go about his business.]

Anyway. Let me know if you figure out who gave you those.

[3nterprising]

[She smirks.]

I'll keep you posted.

[gottaknockhard]

Just saying, I could tell you if they were poisoned that way. [He shrugs again, but apparently cared enough to repeat it.]

I'll see you around.

[3nterprising]

Yeah, see ya.

[She eyes the chocolates before eying him. A lot of good that jealousy inducing mind trick did.]

[gottaknockhard]

[He calls over his shoulder before he leaves.]

And you should work on your pickup lines. Even I couldn't pull that one off.

[3nterprising]

Oh, now you hear me.

[Would it kill him to leave some things to himself?]

[gottaknockhard]

[He smiles inside. Like he was going to let her get away with that one. (Whatever it was. He's assuming she was messing with him, because what else would it be.)]

Just trying to help you out.

[3nterprising]

Thanks a bunch.

[gottaknockhard]

[He doesn't respond, but he's satisfied with that last impression, if it ends up being his last. He's definitely up to something.]
