[ ath... that's like the lisp version of ass. ]

Aw, that's no fun! I'll get you next time, Merl!

[ she'll make you cosplay in the future... JUST YOU WAIT. ]

[sortileges]

[ just what she deserves??? ]

I'd like to see you try. [ He says it with a laugh... I'm sorry Athena. He can't help it though, because while he has to do whatever Arthur tells him to do, he won't listen to anyone else (and tbh even sometimes with Arthur he Won't.) What a rebel. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ GET OUT OF HERE ]

Do you like playing games?

[ excuse the segue, but she swears this is still related to the whole cosplay thing. ]

[sortileges]

[ YOU'RE IN MY INBOX?!?! ]

It depends on the type of game.

[ He's waiting for more explanation anyway... stop being so desperate to get him into weird cosplay outfits?!?! ]

[psycholawgy]

[ DETAILS ]

Penalty games. You can name whichever game you can think of, and the person who loses has to do something for the winner.

[ see. it makes sense now that she's given the details of her dumb idea. ]

[sortileges]

Like a bet? [ You don't want to do that, Athena... he's a cheater... ]

What are you thinking of?

[ It's a truly dumb idea. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ somebody should have told her. ]

Have you ever played chess?

[sortileges]

[ they truly should have... ]

Haven't heard of it, but I'm a quick learner. You could teach me.

[psycholawgy]

I can do that. But you should also be prepared to cosplay, alright?

[ THE CAFE SHE WORKS FOR REALLY NEEDS MALE WAITERS... ]

[sortileges]

I will be. What will you do if I win though?

[ HE CAN SEE THE DESPERATION...... ]

[psycholawgy]

You can decide what happens.

[sortileges]

Can I keep it a secret until the time comes? [ I'm so sorry. ] I wouldn't want you to back out.

[psycholawgy]

You're probably going to keep it a secret forever, because I'm not going to lose.

[ athena's famous last words tbh. ]

[sortileges]

[ l a u g h s

yeah, there have never been worse last words tbh. ]

Oh, I don't know about that.

[psycholawgy]

... ... ... ... ... ... You sound really creepy right now.

[sortileges]

[ Um, Athena??? ]

You have no idea how you sounded either, do you? I just hope you don't regret this.

[ It's a challenge!!!! ]

[psycholawgy]

What? Don't tell me I sounded creepy?!

[ this is a test, merl. if you say yes, you get slapped. if you say no, well. you'll get to live another day. ]

[sortileges]

Not creepy, no. [ THANK GOD THIS IS A CALL THEN... ] But really how desperate are you for people to work in this cafe place?

[ aka ... you just sound needy................ that's probably worse isn't it... who knows. Someone please tell him to keep his mouth shut. ]

[psycholawgy]

Oh... well...! Aha ha ha...

[ she's going to get a bump in her pay if she manages to recruit people, but AS IF SHE'LL TELL HIM THAT. ]

I really love working, alright? And the cafe would be a much better place with more people working with us.

[sortileges]

[ Wow... so he's just a tool for more $$$. He can't imagine anyone loving working that much though. You don't have him fooled, missy. ]

Why don't you show me the place sometime? [ That should be interesting. ] We'll still do it as a game first, but we could do it there?

[psycholawgy]

Alright, deal.

[ and maybe she'll even grab her other friends to help her recruit him :') SHE WON'T GIVE UP ON YOU, FRIEND. ]

No backing out now!

[sortileges]

[ No one expects the Athena inquisition... ]

I won't. Just name a time and a place and I'll meet you somewhere.

[ If he can find it. ]

[psycholawgy]

Great!

Talk to you later, Merl!

[ and she hangs up... FOR NOW. ]
