[Video] un: spanglethesestars
[Rumlow has his set-up casual, his feet up on the table, and there's a toothpick sticking out the left side of his mouth. He's clearly sitting with two feet of the chair off the ground, but more predominant might be the healed burn scars that mark the left side of his face but particularly around his eyes. Much of the burns has clearly healed (miracle of pod life), but there is enough there to speak of previous considerable damage. His hair looks great though.]
New here. You don't care, and that's great. I'm looking for information on one subject in particular, so I won't waste time with semantics.
I need information on dragons. Specifically anatomy and how to kill them. I've got a wager with my future wife where she wants me to be the knight in shining armor and slay a dragon, but aside from the komodo kind, we don't have dragons where I'm from.
[He picks the toothpick from his mouth, twirling it in his fingers.]
Sure hope these ones taste like chicken though.
[He winks at the camera, offering a charming grin. Oh right, he wants to name drop because he knows it will annoy the person in question to the maximum degree.]
Also, if anyone knows Jessica Jones. Hit me up.
[He offers a mock little salute and the video ends.]

no subject
[Mainly because being mean to Kale is like kicking puppies.]
Maybe they're not exclusive? We don't really talk about her sex life when we hang out.
no subject
[He doesn't mind being mean to most people, but he has to see a reason for it in his own cost-benefit analysis.]
I've got nothing against open relationships, but maybe you don't talk about her sex life because you don't have one? [He's just assuming really.]
no subject
[Kale's not sure that she believes this, but she can readily believe Jessica might have said it sarcastically.]
Well. Um.
[Awkward.]
You're right, but I don't ask people about their sex lives, either.
no subject
[It was over text, and he was at his most obnoxious acting out for all that he had lost. He was just carrying it over here because there was nothing else that he wanted to do on the network. He was also testing who was around who might know his face.
He gave her some impressive finger-guns, winking.]
Don't worry. You're young, so there's plenty of time to make mistakes you'll regret for years to come.
no subject
[Good luck with that, Brock. She's mildly amused now. It's a terrible idea all around, and he must realize that on some level, but here he is. Having some fun with it.
She chuckles awkwardly at that last suggestion.]
I'd hope it wouldn't be that bad. If I'm careful, maybe I'd only regret it for a couple of weeks?
[Congratulations, Brock. You got her to attempt a joke.]
no subject
[Most of this is about seeing how far he can annoy her; if she wanted to spit curses and threats at him, he's man enough to take it. Besides, he was getting to know the people who knew her, which might come dead useful someday.
Rumlow rolls his eyes at her and picks his teeth a bit with the toothpick.]
Depends on experience level and your willingness to be adventurous. Men are generally selfish pigs when it comes to sex; they flop around and make everything messy and then roll over and ask all earnest-like if it was good for you. Seventy-percent of the time I hear it's awful, especially for first-timers.
Also, better to regret a few weeks than nine months and a kid later.
no subject
[More awkward.]
I thought you meant regret as in regret injuring them.
[Beat.]
My people are warriors.
no subject
You know, some people are into that, but putting that aside: are you literally thinking sex is combat?
[He shakes his head very slowly.]
Do we need to have the talk, or are you good?
no subject
[She shakes her head.]
I know how pregnancy occurs.
no subject
[Thank God. He would because no one needed to go without that talk, but still.]
At least you have an education.
no subject
[Yes, she just ranked combat above sex ed.]
no subject
no subject
[She probably needs a few more hobbies, but at least she's not completely hopeless.]
no subject
[This one sounds like a winner. No wonder Jones hung on here.]
no subject
[Kale's cheeks are flushing. When he puts it that way, it does sound kind of horrible. But he's not wrong about self control issues. There's a reason she has to train, after all.]
no subject
Why not? Could be fun. Part of having good combat skills is knowing when to apply them, but you gotta have fun or life gets boring.
no subject
[She pauses.]
I'd want them to have a good time, not hate me afterward.
no subject
[Ugh, teenagers were so... sensitive and awkward.]
