[Amid the sounds of the Institute break room comes the noise of a crisp bagel being buttered, followed by a particularly bored drawl. With little elaboration to where this is coming from, a clearly very hard at work Dorian simply asks:]

Three points per round, and the first to three rounds wins. Foul for rhetoric, repetition, synonyms, and statements. No non sequiturs. Now, is anyone up for a game of questions?

Comments

[vorrutyer]

Weren't we just talking about the questions game?

[flashystyle]

Were you actually listening?

[vorrutyer]

That's a terribly rude question, isn't it?

[flashystyle]

Are you implying I'm a rude person?

[vorrutyer]

Are you denying you're a rude person?

[flashystyle]

What makes you any better than me?

[vorrutyer]

Shall we start with my fashion sense, my personality, or my intellect?

[flashystyle]

Shouldn't we start with something less delusional?

[vorrutyer]

What - do you find me so charmless?

[flashystyle]

Do you actually think yourself charming?

[vorrutyer]

[ By briefly toys with would you have spent your nights with me if I weren't, but he doesn't actually know how much Dorian wants that to be common knowledge. So, instead: ]

Doesn't that count as a repetition?

[flashystyle]

[How thoughtful of him - Dorian would be beyond grateful if he knew. But, unaware, Dorian only remembers he's talking to someone who made his clothing phallic. He rises to his feet to find some more privacy from his coworkers.

Walking, without realizing:] I think not.

[vorrutyer]

[ And with good cheer: ]

A point for His Imperial Majesty Byerly II.

[flashystyle]

Damn you.

[There's little conviction in it - he's enjoying himself.]

And what is our great Emporer doing?

[vorrutyer]

Why, want to join me?

[flashystyle]

Would you be opposed if I did?

[vorrutyer]

Have I ever been able to say no to you?

[flashystyle]

Have you ever wanted to say no to me?

[vorrutyer]

Don't you tailor your requests to please me?

[flashystyle]

Isn't that what you do?

[vorrutyer]

Please myself, or please you?

[flashystyle]

Please-- Please, isn't it obvious?

[vorrutyer]

Wasn't that a rhetorical question?

[flashystyle]

Clearly, I'm losing on purpose.

[He laughs. Point to Byerly.]

Would you come to me?

[vorrutyer]

Why, where are you?
