Weyrleader Who?

[Dragon]

G'han grinned back at V'ian. "Oh it's not impossible to seduce a lady. Besides, you can consider this a good learning experience", G'han slid the five marks back across to V'ian. "Besides that. You can't give up. You have to play", G'han told him, he looked over to Akki hoping she'd back him on this. Might as well have some kind of fun today. Why not send half the weyr around on a crazy scavanger hunt seeing who they can seduce?

Maybe he'd find K'dan and force him to play this game. It'd be interesting, but the poor boy would probably faint at the thought. Still, maybe there were others that could be dragged in. "Oh! How about V'ian seduces the Weyrwoman and Andilay seduces the Weyrleader?", G'han suggested, looking around the table.

Clearly any seriosness or tension had faded from G'han quickly at the amusement of this "game". Though with so many names being mentioned and traded from one person to the other, he doubted this game would ever be cemented. Either way, he didn't care. The conversation was fun in and of itself. Especially with poor V'ian squirming and Akki flirting right infront of her brother.

"Alright, but you'll have to clean those furs first", G'han turned to Akki and stated rather matter-of-factly. Akki cleaning? That'd make it all that more of a challenge for her to seduce him. G'han was obviously interested in making it difficult for Akki. He knew she'd accept most any challenge. So why not push it as far as he could? Maybe she'd actually give up, or fail. Then that'd be something to put in her face. After all, she got him rather good awhile back when he woke up with a hangover and a half-naked Akki in his bed.

"Yes, what about me? I decline the offer to seduce the weyrleader. Don't know him, and stealin other women's bedmates isn't my thing. Know of anyone not tied down?" She glanced at G'han and rolled her eyes. "Besides K'dan. That poor bluerider would pee his pants if I showed off and tried to seduce him."

Andilay enjoyed the exchange between these people with a small smile on her face. She drank her klah down and refilled it with her pitcher. If anyone tried to sneak a spot o' klah from her pitcher... she hoped they knew that they'd come away missing a finger.

She would enjoy this... for now. Later she could be angry and hurt... and make a dart board with a doodle of G'hans face on it. That should get rid of some pent up frustration. It was either that or beat him up. He might take exception to that... as would his bronze. She couldn't wait till she got some back up of her own.

[Akki]

Akki stood up and leaned across the table, staring her brother in the eyes; only inches away from his face. “Remember when I beat you in wrestling and you cried? If you don’t join in, it will be like that all over again.” She promised, her voice sounding quite ominous.

“You didn’t beat me.” V’ian argued. He placed a hand on the girls forehead and pushed her back down, “You kicked me between the legs. You cheated” Despite his words, his hand slid over the five marks and they were pocketed in a manner of seconds. “I won’t seduce the Weyrwoman.” V’ian sniffed before nodding towards Andilay, “What about her friend? Can’t I just do that?”

Akki sat back down with a nice little content smile painted onto her face. V’ian was back in the game and that was all that mattered. “How about you go after P’rin?” Akki asked Andilay. He would be a fun person to go after. P’rin probably would get all awkward or something and awkward situations made Akki quite happy, to be honest. “Yeah, I think you should go after P’rin.”

This time Akki slugged G’han in the arm. “I’m going to seduce you, not clean up your junk. I’ll cut your eyes out if you try to make me clean.” The bluerider did not clean up messed, especially not other peoples messes.

[Dragon]

G'han grinned. "Oh so he squirms a little. The boy could use the exposure", he responded to Andilay. He was totally oblivious that his antics had upset Andilay. It was much like a time when G'han had recently returned to the weyr. His and Akki's shameless actions had been upsetting Akki's lover boy. Though the boot was on the other foot now.

G'han turned his attention to V'ian. "I still think Anassa or Christae would be more amusing", G'han shrugged. Poor V'ian. He'd be subjected to their game whether he liked it or not. G'han cracked his neck as he turned his attention to Akki.

"I'm afraid you won't be very successful at seducing me if you can't clean and warm my furs", G'han admitted as he rubbed his arm idley. Akki had a decent arm on her, but it wasn't hurting as bad as he was making it out to be. It'd make Akki feel better about herself though, right? And that was a pretty good deed. G'han was all about doing good deeds.

The bronzerider took another swig of his wine. The conversation wasn't the only thing relaxing him. He was far from drunk, not having downed even a whole glass of wine. But he might just be getting there after a second or third. Though G'han wasn't planning on getting that into drinking. Not this early anyway. If he got back to his weyr early enough, maybe he'd take the tension off that way tonight.

[Minajerie]

Andilay winced at the fact that Akki had kicked him where it hurt. "ouch. I can't believe you kicked your brother in the family jewels. That's definitely a low blow."

She shook her head in consternation then stopped and eyed V'ian again. Then let out a hearty laugh. "You?!

Admin's Note:[/hr] Seduce Rayn? Pfft! Ahahahahhaaaa! She would chew you up and spit you out with the utmost disdain! Then she would ground you into the dirt as she walked away... most likely to me in order to tell me about the brash bronzer who thought to get into her pants merely because she was pretty and looked soft... but found out otherwise. Believe me, you wouldn't be the first... nor the biggest, of the men she has... less than politely turned down."

The truth may hurt, but it was still true. And that was not a fate she wished on one such as he. This bronze rider seemed quite the sweety, or at least polite, and didn't seem to deserve such a fate. "She is the type that needs long wooing, and plenty of time to fall in love with said wooer before the male party tries anything. The safest bet would be to wait till she jumped his bones. I'm sure she'd do it eventually. She has it in her, I'm sure."

"P'rin? Who is he? Another bronze rider? I seem to be particularly attractive to those types." She smiled a coy smile, but it soon faded.

She believed that she had seduced G'han just fine... without even cleaning and warming his furs. She recalled a metaphor G'han had said that morning, it was perhaps more apt than he had thought. But... "Apparently my poison charm has yet to fully work," she murmured. Was she falling for him then? She frowned. Couldn't be. Not her, the hard swordswoman. She wasn't that soft, to fall for a man after so few months...was she?

Having ignored their conversation, Relina sat down at another table and sulked, having been thoroughly insulted from their "Relina seducing the weyrleader" comment. She didn`t even bother to answer Andilay as she called her firelizards from their slumber. The two of them obviously not happy about being awoken, they appeared before her and chittered like mad. Relina grabbed Zorn and set him in her lap, petting him gently while stroking Rhythm with her other hand.

At least I have you two. I wonder how Catilena is doing? she said to them. Rhythm chirped questioningly at Relina while Zorn slowly drifted off to sleep in her lap. Relina satisfied herself with the company of Rhythm and Zorn, not wanting to wake up Soranith for something as trivial as companionship.

[Akki]

”And I still think you seducing this Z’ayr would be more amusing.” V’ian shot back with a crooked grin that mirrored his sisters. He made a mental note to try to stay away from G’han and Akki when they were together, he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to handle many more games like this one.

“That’s a load of lies and you know it.” Akki scowled angrily at G’han. “What about the masquerade? I did an excellent job of seducing you without cleaning up.” She sneered, clearly not amused with the idea of being some sort of weyr cleaner. She couldn’t even keep her own weyr clean! She turned away from the bronzerider and grinned at Andilay, “He deserved it. He punched me in the chest so it was fair game.” She glanced at V’ian, “But at least I didn’t cry.”

“I didn’t mean to punch you!” Waeith’s rider cried out. He looked over at Andilay, hands up in the air. “I’m a perfect gentleman though! She won’t be able to refuse! Plus she’s all I got, I don’t want to go after the Weyrwoman!”. He let his hands fall onto the table with a ‘thunk’ and grinned, “I can do long wooing. I didn’t have a time limit right?”

“I hope she beats you up.” Akki snickered. “P’rin is a bronzerider who needs to be seduced. Do you accept this challenge?” She asked, leaning over the table to get closer to Andilay, eyes wide with interest and hope. Oh man, she hoped the girl would accept.

V’ian leaned back into his chair and glanced over at Relina, “Can weyrlings get in on this game also? Can’t we send her to seduce someone?” He blinked and then frowned slightly, “Unless she wants to be the seduced.”

Akki reached over and smacked V’ian across the head, “No! Bad boy! Weyrlings can’t get involved with any kind of flings.” She let her eyes flicker over Relina and grinned, “You can help me seduce G’han though. Give me advice and junk.”

[catilena1890]

Relina glared at Akki with the intensity of dragonfire.

"I have no interest in such activities. I would not seduce anyone if I know how or even wanted to. I`ll let no man get anywhere near me." She said stiffly, closing her eyes and tilting her head up in a dignified manner.

No man would ever want a girl like me anyway, and I am fine with that, as long as I have you two and Soranith, I won`t be needing one. she said pleasantly to Rhythm, who chirped and rubbed her face against Relina`s hand, having no idea what her human was saying to her.

[Dragon]

G'han sneered mockingly at V'ian. "Really? That's how you get your jollies? Watching men seduce other men?", G'han responded. V'ian had stepped into it now. G'han was only joking of course, but there was no telling when G'han would let it slide off and die down.

He turned his attention back to Akki. "That masked dance? Please. You were the Green Dragon. I expected a certain greenrider. Besides, that was a long time ago. Old business. We're talking about Akki seducing G'han. Not G'han thinking Green Dragon was a certain greenrider who was actually Akki seducing him. Totally different", he explained, though he probably slightly lost himself along the way.

He looked over to the weyrling then back to Akki. "Well then. There's your answer dear. You're working this secret mission alone", G'han answered Akki. Secret mission was a phrase Akki and G'han knew well. It was a term related to any silly game of theirs, this one included. Often times it included others besides themselves, whether the other people liked it or not. Such as this instance.

[catilena1890]

Relina tilted her head in confusion at V'ian, trying to figure out what exactly he said, wondering whether she should be insulted by his words or not. Nonetheless, she responded by the only way she knew how.

"I do not entirely understand your comment, but I will say this, I have no interest in such things as "seduction". My dragon and my fire lizards clearly have more respect than you do, so if I were you, I'd be more respectful when talking about greens. If you want someone to make fun of, then let it be me, leave my dragon out of it." She said venomously and glaring daggers at him, thouroughly angered by the joking and insulting tone with which they spoke about her Soranith's color.

Relina then turned her attention to G'han.

" I also do not"pick sides". If things like seduction are your ideas of a "secret mission", then I shall find myself wanting a transfer as soon as I can. We are here to keep the peace and sanctity of Pern, are we not?" She huffed, petting Rhythm stiffly while letting both the green and blue flits siphon some of her anger from her. Their confused thoughts and the comforting colors they showed help take the edge out of Relina, but she refused to be completely calm until she felt the injustice against her dragon was punished.

(OOC: XD Relina's having a hissy fit, I love it!)

[Minajerie]

Andilay rolled her eyes. This brother and sister duo could provide hours of endless entertainment.

"I'm sorry, my dear. You are welcome to try and woo her. But seduction is a far way off. And you better wait till her dragon is full grown, because if you don't recall, Rayn impressed last hatching and is a weyrling. No nookie for her for a while." Andilay shrugged. Weyrlings were off limits. The horizontal tango a little too mature for their dragon's young minds.

A sly grin crept over her face. "But of course, Akki. I am forever up for challenges. And since I appear to have nothing holding me back, nothing could make me happier then seducing this P'rin." Well, if he was a bronzer, at least he would be fit... and hopefully cute. Someone to keep her mind off another.

Andilay turned toward Relina. "I believe they were talking about a different green dragon my dear. And there is nothing wrong with the color. Greens are important to the weyr. After all, their agility and maneuverability in the skies makes them indespensible during threadfall." Andilay didn't like the tone the weyrling was taking with them. It agitated her on a completely different level. "And as far as the weyr goes... everyone is allowed to have their bit o' fun when they have no pressing duties to attend too. To each their own. So don't be all snooty with us. You are more than welcome to find another table. And if you think the whole weyr is the same, all I have to say is that you, as a person, have much growing up to do."

[catilena1890]

Relina huffed and turned away from them. She was prepared to shoot something back at Andilay but figured she would only get angrier with her fellow riders, and she personally didn`t feel like holding more grudges for the moment. Saying nothing, she picked up Rhythm and stared into her eyes.

Hn, well they can joke around all they want. I feel this is a serious business, don`t you? she asked her flit. Rhythm only chirped and tilted her head at Relina. She cared not for trivial things like home-life and friendship, all that mattered to her was that she was fed and had fun. Relina chuckled and set her back down, playing with Rhythm`s tiny feet, albeit gently. Rhythm chirped and moved her feet constantly, trying to be out of reach of Relina's curious fingers.

[Akki]

”Oh yeah. I thought you knew that I was all about the men?” V’ian replied to G’han with ease. “I also like to sneak into your weyr and watch you sleep. You look so pretty when you sleep.” V’ians voice took on a tone of complete and utter adoration. It was rather creepy actually; Akki could feel goosebumps on her arms.

“We never said I had to be me in order to seduce you.” Akki sniffed, glad to change the conversation away from V’ian sneaking into G’han’s weyr like some creeper. “Plus, you so have to admit that you’re glad it was me and not that loser lady.” She grinned crookedly. It was funny how that all turned up. Akki wasn’t going to dress as a greendragon at first, but dressing as a blue one would have given her away too quickly. She whipped her arm and gave G’han a sharp salute, “I will complete this secret assignment quicker than you can imagine.”

V’ian blinked at Relina, slightly bewildered. “What? I was just didn’t know if you were someone who wanted to be seduced or be the seducer if you were going to join the game. It has nothing to do with what color your dragon is.” He frowned slightly. The girl had a vicious tone and would definitely grow up to be some feisty lady. “And we are keeping the peace of Pern.” V’ian grinned wickedly, “What better way to keep the peace then make everyone love each other.” He reached out and laid a hand on G’hans, staring at the man in some dreamy state.

“V’ian looooooooooves the greenriders.” Akki said slowly, drawing out the word. She snickered before looking over at Relina, “Trust me kiddo, when you’re a full rider you’ll be wanting to play these games in order to take a break from everything and have some fun.” Akki then pumped her fist into the air, “Let the games begin! Try not to make P’rin cry though.”

V’ian pounded his fist onto the table, “I will woo her like she’s never been wooed before! I’ll fully woo her when her dragon is grown, of course but for now I will chat her up like she’s never been chatted up before!”

[catilena1890]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(R)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Relina flashed him an annoyed glare before speaking.

"Love is an illusion. It exists only in childrens stories and in the minds of deadglows. You cannot make the people of Pern love each other any more than my green dragon can make a clutch of eggs." She said harshly. When Akki spoke, she turned to her and smirked.

"I can tell he likes greenriders very much, but I have no interest in these so-called "games". Taking breaks is for the weak-willed and softhearted, neither of which I am." She replied a little less sourly than she had addressed the men. Upon making this statement, her sister entered the room, her presence going unnoticed by the fiery greenrider. She turned to V'ian again.

"Hn, you wooing me is about as likely as my sister impressing a bronze and becoming weyrleader. "Chat me up" you say? Well, wanna know what I say? I say you can't "chat up" someone who isn't even here." She said, standing up abruptly. Poor Zorn fell out of her lap, going between and then reappearing next to her chattering his discomfort. Relina snorted and picked up Rhythm, striding out in a dignified manner. When she got to her sister, she took a deep breath and managed an awkward smile, trying to show her she was fine, before walking out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(C)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When she grew hungry, Catilena decided to take advantage of it and go to the dining hall to get to know her fellow riders. She stopped short when she heard her sister talk and frown when she heard her input on the subject of "love". She approached everyone and caught the end of her sister's tantrum just before she stood up and walked passed her.

She tried to hide it with a smile, but Catilena could see she was really hurt inside and figured that she was going to seek out her dragon for comfort. She shook her head and approached the table.

"I`m really sorry about that. My sister hasn't exactly had the best childhood. I'm sure if she were to spend more time with you all here, she would grow to trust you. Maybe she won't be as flamboyant as most greenriders, or playful, but she will grow calmer once she has had a chance to get to know you all. She just needs time, compassion, and patience." Catilena said, hoping to make everyone understand that they shouldn't get angry with her pained sister.
