[CHAPTER 3--SCENE] Dance in the Sunshine

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

Who: Rita Mordio, Genis Sage
Where: Grand Chokmah
When: Minutes after the Chokmah Fried Yuri log
Warnings: Two genius fonists who don't get along. At all.

The sea-faring vessel lying little more than ten paces in front of her was her decision. Rita had passed by all of the other merchant ships and decided that this one was the least guarded and had what seemed to be the most hiding spots. Really, she didn't care if the kid liked her choice or not. What would he know? He was...just a kid! She preferred, however, to not think of her traveling companions. The brat, a mutt, and...well, she supposed Yuri was okay, but he didn't seem as serious as he should be. None of this was a joke! Rita had to find Estellise before she did something stupid and screwed herself up...

No, it wasn't that she cared. She just... Estellise was too naive for the world is all. She shouldn't have to handle it like that... Being cooped up in her mansion did not help either, though, the brunette had to admit...

The researcher sighed. All there was to do was sit here and wait for Yuri and his mutt to meet them here at the harbor. Rita sometimes hated waiting...

And waiting...

And waiting...

Genis sat nearby, his head in his hands, waiting for Yuri and Repede to arrive so that they could formulate their next plan: sneaking onto the merchant vessel.

For now, he was stuck with this girl who'd bumped into him. Rather rudely, too. Genis didn't forgive her for all of what she'd done still, but he was willing to overlook that if they could work together long enough to find his sister, and ... well, whoever she was looking for. Estellise, he though her name was. Yeah. That girl.

Genis looked over to Rita. As much as he didn't like her, he couldn't help but think that she looked a little bored. And hey, he was bored, too.

He sighed a bit in irritation.

"Hey. Wanna play a game while waiting?"

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

"A game?" Rita asked, her eyebrow raided. He really was a kid, needing to have a game to occupy his time... The researcher felt she could sue this time to think more about her theories, but... She reluctantly acquiesced to finding out what the brat wanted.

...She was a little bored, she had to admit.

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

Hey, he wasn't shot down yet. SWEET.

In any case, He nodded. "Yeah. A word game. Just to keep ourselves entertained until Yuri gets back."

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

Yet being the keyword here.

"A word game? Hmph, that shouldn't be too difficult." She had seen various amounts of words games, and, admittedly, she occasionally played them with her fellow researchers when she was younger and was bored. She never did them now, but...if it could get the kid to stop acting like such a brat all the time, so why not?

"That idiot better get back soon..." She sighed and turned to the silver-haired kid. "What type of word game?"

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

"We start with a word, and the next word has to start with the last letter of the previous word. Easy enough, right?" He said, leaning back and closing his eyes.

"Or, you know, we could play the word game where we have a letter and have to name words starting with that letter. Take your pick!"

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

"Either work," Rita began. "but I think I'll go with the first one." Not to mention it was easy and maybe could at least provide some sort of challenge to alleviate her boredom...

"I'll begin. Fonon."

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

"Noon," Genis replied, lazily relaxing in their hiding place while they waited for Yuri.

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

"Never." Rita responded, speaking the word that first popped into her head. She was sure to keep her voice down so not to draw suspicion for two young people sitting, waiting around ships and watching them.

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

"Reduce," He replied casually, doing the same.

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

"Energy." How long would this last? This kid couldn't be her equal...eventually, he had to lose. That end couldn't come soon enough.

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

"Yarn." He was determined not to lose. He was pret-ty darn good at word games and such.

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

"Necromancer." The brunette thought she had heard of someone with that title before... Someone in the military, she believed. Regardless...shouldn't this kid give up soon?

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

"Roaring," He replied simply. This game was seriously too easy.

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

"Groan." This game was too easy... Perhaps she should start making it a bit more...challenging. If that was possible...

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

"Noodle." Speaking of which, he was getting a bit hungry ...

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

Rita silently cursed. She couldn't use her strategy yet... "Eagle."

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

"Erroneous." Genis grinned.

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

"Seven." Perfect... Rita smirked to herself.

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

"Nightmare." Rita's smirking. Why is she smirking? Genis wanted to know, but didn't dare ask.

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

"Eleven." She would resort to numbers if she needed...but she would win this!

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

"Normal!" He was tough competition!

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

"Lemon." Oh, this was getting too easy... She could keep this going for days!

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

Oh ho. Genis sees what you did, thar.

"Neural."

Two could play at that game.

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

"Linen." Two can play at the game...but Rita can flip it back around! ...This was getting tedious, though.

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

"Neutral." Yeah, it was getting a bit harder to find words that started and ended with the same letter.

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

"Levin." Rita sighed. So, a game of flipping, hm? Well, whatever. The brat can try to win, but she doubted he ever would. Rather, no. She did not even doubt. She knew he would not beat her--in anything!

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

"Null," He responded casually. He wasn't going to go down easily, that was for sure.

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

"Lengthen." And the seemingly-endless contest continued!

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

"Normal." Yep. Continuing onward ...

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

Rita grinned. "Looks like I win. You repeated yourself." She was very pleased that she had defeated the brat...her plan had worked very well.

[geniusfonist.livejournal.com]

Well, he hadn't quite realized that until she pointed it out ... and that realization came with a pout.

"I want a rematch!" He said, a determined grin crossing his face.

[omgblastia.livejournal.com]

"What, so you can lose again? Hmph!" She shrugged. "I accept."

((OoC: ...Failendpost? XD;))
