[Zelos is bored out of his mind. Winter sucks, being stuck inside all the time sucks and aside from stealing some fireworks the festival isn't one of his interest (he wasn't one to honor elders after all). ]

[He's taken to lounging in the lobby, boredly flipping through the book when he's really watching every person who watch past. Mostly the girls but seeing if he can read the guys is fun too. He was being quiet too, until he decided to take a drink of some earth beverage called "coca-cola" that was in the fridge. ]

[He then promptly sneezes very loudly and sits up, spilling some and quickly putting the drink down like it's offended his ancestors]

Ugh!

Is this drink supposed to be fizzy?!

[Well that destroyed his incognito coolness]

[wilder]

Whaaat? That's not soft!

[gevurah]

[ Somewhat amused now. ]

They're called 'soft' drinks because of little to no alcohol content in them. A 'hard' drink would be something alcoholic.

[wilder]

Do they call water and milk soft drinks too? [That seems so weird]

[gevurah]

They don't.

[wilder]

[....]

Oookay then.

Well thanks hunny! ♥

[gevurah]

[ Pause. ]

It's Kate.

[wilder]

Ohhh~

Well you can call me Zelos!

[gevurah]

Nice meeting you, Zelos.

[wilder]

And it's lovely meeting you, Kate~

[gevurah]

Since you've just discovered soda, I suppose you haven't been here long.

[wilder]

Just about four months now.

[gevurah]

[ She wonders if he's come across the microwave already. That poor thing gets blown up everyday. ]

Still getting used to the place?

[wilder]

Kinda. Though I don't think it's really possible to get completely used to it. [Nor does hewant to...]

[gevurah]

[ High-five, bro. Kate refuses to get complacent here either. ]

It changes more often than not, I'd think.

[wilder]

[Aw yeah, freakishly red gingers forever]

That's how it seems to me. Like whatever's running the place just gets bored or something.

[gevurah]

Like there's no point?

[ She gets that. ]

[wilder]

That or the point's idiotic.

[gevurah]

Maybe.

1/2

[wilder]

[Thinking to himself outloud, sounding a bit bored]

Though statistically with the people here...

[wilder]

[Cheerfully as he remembers he's being recorded]

Maybe the castle just likes pretty people!

[gevurah]

[ PAUSES... ]

How'd you come to that conclusion?

[wilder]

Have you seen the people around here?

I've been around. It's impossible to have this many good looking people in an area at once unless something's going on.

[gevurah]

So the castle plucks those with good genes.

[wilder]

Yep!

Or people with powers just tend to look pretty...We do have a lot of those too.

[gevurah]

I guess. [ She's noted a lot of attractive ladies here, sure. ] Are metahumans common where you're from?
