rose: fail at knitting

[fluthlu]

[Rose is decidedly not in a good mood. The castle's Christmas present to her? Not really working out so far. It's been less than two weeks and she already feels like she's about to go a little bonkers if these stupid needles don't stop turning her knitting projects into gigantic, tangled wads. Currently, she's in a chair in the library, with a cup of tea beside her and a hideous mass of yarn in her lap. Damn castle.]

Really, I can't see what vendetta this castle could possibly have against pasttimes. My previous loss was perfectly effective. Perhaps the continuous clink of needles managed to grate on its questionably-existent nerves?

[An audible sigh of distaste.]

If it's no trouble, I wouldn't mind speaking with any other residents who were fortunate enough to receive a new loss for Christmas. There may be a pattern to be found.

[WOW NEVER]

Oh, is that what we're doing? I hadn't even noticed.

[wagers]

Wow! Are you just that much of a butt to people you deem somewhat acceptable?

[fluthlu]

Apparently, that would be the case.

[LE SIGH]

Did you have something of substance you wished to discuss with me, or you going to continue this endless, derisive needling until we both run out of breath?

[wagers]

Why must I, a Vriska such as myself, have to have ulterior motives about things? Maybe I just wanted to shoot the breeze with you in a mocking manner in order to take a stab at actual reluctant camaraderie, did you ever think about that?

[fluthlu]

The thought briefly crossed my mind, I admit. However, seeing as how I assumed the aforementioned reluctant camaraderie was for the sake of certain mutual parties, such shooting of the breeze in a private setting seemed a bit useless. Hence, ulterior motives.

[wagers]

[Have some laughter!] Well, isn't someone cynical?

[fluthlu]

I would go with "realistic", personally.

[wagers]

Hey, I was just offhandedly commenting on your shit in an idle manner! We could have just left it at a questionable offering of sympathy, but then it turned into a conversation! Almost.

[fluthlu]

Ah, well then. To use the common jargon, "my bad". Almost-conversation was precisely the last thing I was looking for.

[wagers]

Clearly not if that was a thing you ended up doing with me to begin with!
