INTERIOR DECORATING

[telltaleheart]

Characters: Raven, Beatrice and Battler
Location: Raven's room
Time: Day 224, afternoon/evening? (tentatively dated)
Description: Interior decorating :B

[Legacy heroes have "a small room with team-colored walls and a roomy bed, along with a wooden trunk with silver leaf patterns, a very large full-length mirror, and an unopenable window looking out onto a forest. On the room side of the door, there's a clock pattern; changing it to anything but the default (noon) will make the door lead to a blank wall."

After letting them in, Raven sits down on the edge of the bed.]

So, what do we think?

--It was not quite so serious as all that!! Honestly...!

[itsalluseless]

Y-yeah, it was just...

[okay no shutting up before I make this worse]

[telltaleheart]

[relaxes slightly but still looks on edge]

S-Sorry... it's not like I don't know you guys are going to do stuff...

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Hmmmm. [...there were extenuating circumstances but I don't want to tell you in front of Battler because they were Battler's circumstances and this truly is the most awkward situation...

DO I APOLOGIZE? BUT I DON'T REALLY NEED TO RIGHT?? but nnnnoooo things are going wrong]

At any rate... Is that sort of quality really relevant to decoration in the first place?

[itsalluseless]

Uh, r-right...we got pretty badly off track there, didn't we...

[telltaleheart]

That's probably my fault...

[boxupallthebutterflies]

I don't think it was anyone's fault in particular. I suppose men just get easily riled up.

[itsalluseless]

I know I do, at least. ...Though that's not really any excuse for not thinking before I open my mouth, is it...

[telltaleheart]

I started it, though. We're different, but I said I wasn't gonna make this a competition.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Does blaming yourself for everything count as insulting yourself...?

[itsalluseless]

I think it just might.

[telltaleheart]

H...Hey! I'm not blaming myself for everything, I just said I started it! And it's not like we made that into a punishment game after all, right?

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Whether or not we're punishing you, you still aren't supposed to do it.

[itsalluseless]

...Punishment game...?

[telltaleheart]

E-Er, we were talking about the rule not to talk ourselves down, and she suggested there might be some kind of penalty for the people who do the worst, like being slave to the other two for a day...

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Doesn't it seem like an interesting idea? But I think he'd like it too much, so there goes that idea. Too bad~

[itsalluseless]

[TURNING KIND OF RED]

Is, is that so? Ihihi, that's probably for the best...

[telltaleheart]

[what if we have a WHO CAN TURN MORE RED competition]

That is... er...

[boxupallthebutterflies]

[this is ALSO a competition that is very pleasing to me]

You clearly don't need my permission to imagine it though.

[itsalluseless]

[good because I'm sure not stopping any time soon]

Well, uh... In any case, we're not doing that, so...

[telltaleheart]

[half-chokes at Beatrice's comment, then takes a few seconds to get words out again]

Of course we're not!

[boxupallthebutterflies]

[...cracking up]

Wow~ Who'd have thought you'd both be so easy to fluster in one fell swoop?

[itsalluseless]

Shut up, it's not that funny!!

[telltaleheart]

O-Of course we'd be flustered by something like that...

[boxupallthebutterflies]

I'm not looking down on you. I'll praise your taste~
