Greece is the word

[wwistful]

WHO: ALL OF THE TEACHERS and their broods
TONE: FUN!?!?
RATING: M for Mature.
WHEN: 4th April to 7th April (ish)
WHERE: Murdoc's home in Greece
WHAT: A teacher meeting held in Greece! What could possibly go wrong?
STATUS: Ongoing.

[Murdoc isn't sure why the responsibility of hosting the meeting fell to him, honestly it already sounds like a terrible idea. He doubts any of them will either come up with sound lesson plans, work cohesively as a team or leave his home any wiser and more mature than they were when they entered. To him, it seems as if a couple of people just like the idea of visiting Greece. However, it's not as if he's going to pass up the chance to show off! And it's not like he doesn't have room to spare.

He's not going to be all that happy to have people there, but he's not a bad host. Everyone has a room and there's food and booze provided. Not to mention the fact that the beach and town are within walking distance, but why on earth would you want to live such a sick crib? Of course, given that he's a pureblood there's absolutely no technology or reception, but there's a pool and a near endless amount of rooms filled with nifty shit!

Regardless, if you aren't a kid you sure as hell aren't here to explore, so quit touching his stuff and get working.]

Hahah you sure are a card, Vantas! Of course I'm not adopted out, and there isn't any "yet" about it! I'm the sparkle in my father's eye, you know?

[And now he's just going to make his way on over, aiming to loop an arm around Karkat's shoulders.]

So how long you staying here? Hopefully the whole time. Either way, I can show you to your room, if you like.

[Which is actually his room, but that doesn't matter.]

[candycrabapple]

You know. Some people's eyes sparkle when they're seriously ill.

[Karkat looks at the arm around him and narrows his eyes suspiciously at it.]

I'm staying here as long as Dolores' is here for, considering she's my legal guardian and all those other interesting legal matters. Wait, I get my own room?

[Karkat had just assumed he was going to be in a fold out bed in Dolores' room or something.]

[greaselightning]

Yeah, but as you can see my father is fit as fiddle.

[Nothing but smiles here!]

Ehhh, something like that yeah. But good, that means we got plenty of time to get to know each other better, school doesn't really allow for those types of cross-house interactions, you dig?

[And so he's starting to lead him, heading towards the direction of his room, if Karkat will let him.]

[candycrabapple]

Then maybe you're misreading the look on his face.

[Karkat lets himself be lead. Because right now he has no reason to think anything underhanded was going on. Not only that, Cronus hits on people far more better looking than him, so Karkat's assuming he's just being annoying on purpose.]

What makes you think I even want to know you. One Ampora on my pain in the arse list is really too many Ampora's as it is. So no, no digging.

[To be fair, Karkat did like Eridan. When he wasn't being too over dramatic at least. But as his friend, Karkat had every right to complain about him.]

[greaselightning]

Or maybe you're just putting far too much cruel judgement on a cool cat who has done nothing to you.

[Yes good. This is exactly what Cronus wants. It's so much easier when they just go with the flow, instead of fighting with him!]

I am nothing like my brother, alright? I'm way more laid back and altogether cooler than him, not to mention my looks leave his in the dust. As you'll find out when you give yourself the opportunity to get to know me better.

[And up the stairs they go... Just a little further and sure enough they'll be at the threshold to his room.]

[candycrabapple]

Or you just have a reputation to compete with.

[He rolls his eyes.]

It's not hard to be cooler than Eridan. But that doesn't automatically make you cooler than him or anything. And I still don't know why the fuck I have to get to know you better. What's there to even give a shit about a pureblood slytherin in a house too white to allow anyone in who might possibly have sensitive eyes?

[greaselightning]

Come on, buddy, I'd like to think you're a little brighter than that to just blindly follow a reputation, without knowing the real deal.

[Yeah, he's just going to let that smile fade a bit. He certainly is working at that defeated, sort of pity-filled expression. So cruel, Karkat, there's no reason to just judge him like that!]

I guess that's for you to find out, now isn't it? Maybe, if you'd stop being so quick to judge me on my purebloodedness and over all status, and would over look it like I am towards your own lack of status and the fact you're a muggleborn, you'd be able to see this beautiful thing that could be blossoming between us!

But no, instead, you're so quick to stomp all over it without even giving me a shot, just like everyone else. You'd be surprised how much we're probably not all that different...

[Yep, he's just really working the sounding downtrodden and everything!]

[candycrabapple]

[Karkat looks at him and blinks. Looking uncertain about how events have unfolded. Everything he's seen and heard about Cronus is that he's a ridiculous flirt and pretty much the smuggest git in existence on par with several Ravenclaws. So seeing him look so dejected caused Karkat to momentarily lose all bite.]

What beautiful thing blossoming between us. You're, just showing me my room. While being overly familiar.

[He tries to sound as sure as he did before, however it just doesn't seem to have that same harshness.]
