[accidental video ]

[When the feed cuts on there are a few things so incredibly obvious about the scene that anyone familiar with Klavier would know instantly that this was not typical:

A. He has no idea he's being recorded...well this is pretty normal...but his enduring lack of awareness is not.

B. He is in his office and he seems to be working diligently. When has he ever been shown in his office working harder than he plays?

C. Judging by the mountain of paper work and his unkempt, unpolished, devil-may-care appearance he appears to have been here for a while.

And

D. The look on his face suggests he's in a very bad mood on this very fine day.

Which doesn't help when his secretary comes in to check his pulse, thus disturbing the furious flow of his work. And the community is treated to the following interaction:]

What are you doing?

I wanted to make sure you were alive...you've holed yourself up and you haven't come out for hours. Aren't you hungry? Tired?

I'm neither, now leave me, I'm busy.

Clearly something is bothering you, you're more dedicated to your paper work than normal. Won't you trust me and tell me what it is?

I've learned a valuable lesson about naiveté and trust and that it's okay to trust people up till and except when evidence to the contrary proves you're mistaken. Then you're just being gullible.

Anything I can help with?

No, please leave.

But I'm really concerned about you.

I don't need you to be, now leave me alone.

But Mr. Gavin-

[The usually tolerant Klavier brings his fist down hard against the table he's working at sending some papers and a few unstable items flying off while startling his secretary. For a moment his expression is a bit unhinged and vaguely reminiscent of another Gavin.]

Oh!

I said get out!

Yes...you're right...I apologize...

[And soon enough Klavier is alone again in his office and though he seems calm his mood hasn't changed.]

Damn...

You don't want a lover, he don't want a lover. You like doin' it, he likes it. Answer's easy. Do it without being lovers.

[action spam]

[glimmerous_fop]

And what if your little plan backfires and it just happens, things just happen, and what if I decide that a lover is what I want?

[action spam]

[material_guy]

If it's what he wants out of you.

[action spam]

[glimmerous_fop]

No.

[action spam]

[material_guy]

Yer pissed at me. Don't take it out on him. Yer better than that.

[action spam]

[glimmerous_fop]

Stop it, alright? It's not him, it's not you, it's what I want! So unless you have a very insightful reason for me then the answer is still "no."

[action spam]

[material_guy]

How's about the whole damn reason you wanted to do it the first time?!

[action spam]

[glimmerous_fop]

How about you join us then?

[action spam]

[material_guy]

You hate him, don't you?

[action spam]

[glimmerous_fop]

That's ridiculous. How are you supposed to know we're even doing anything if you're not there anyway? You want to be in the in of everything instead of not having it be your business. You might as well take your part seriously.

[action spam]

[material_guy]

You gonna say you stepping out on somethin' you both like's got nothin' to do with me? Shit was just fine before I knew about it.

[glimmerous_fop]

I'm saying that it's safer. Having sex with you over and over and over again is safer.

[action spam]

[material_guy]

And boring. None of us're one-flavor types, and safe ain't what you wanna put out as a chief part of yer image. [Snort.] Hell, maybe we've done too many "over"s already.

[action spam]

[glimmerous_fop]

I mean emotionally safer, I already know you don't give a damn about how I feel so that makes it okay.

[Another fist clench, an elbow rearing back; if he hadn't walked himself out of range, Klavier may have finally got that punch Greed was convinced he wanted since he walked in. But if it means having to actually go over to him, the rage spurt doesn't last that long.]

So you got an emotional problem with him?

[action spam]

[glimmerous_fop]

I don't wan't an emotional problem with him, there's a difference. It's possible he could give a damn, then where would I be?

[action spam]

[material_guy]

I warned you about that risk months ago. Didn't stop you. Hell. it encouraged yuo.

[action spam]

[glimmerous_fop]

And I'm telling you, you're taking it out of context and making something exist that isn't there so why can't you drop it? Aren't you supposed to be setting him up with some Lancer guy anyway?

[action spam]

[material_guy]

If there's nothing there, what's the problem?!

[action spam]

[glimmerous_fop]

Potential. Is your foresight that bad?

[action spam]

[material_guy]

Yours has been! What's made that a problem now?!

[action spam]

[glimmerous_fop]

Well played. At least now we know that we both have bad foresight, can we end this madness now?

[action spam]

[material_guy]

I'm serious, dumbass.

[action spam]

[glimmerous_fop]

Serious about what? Driving me crazy? There's an admirable goal, you're driving me batshit crazy already.

[On the one hand, it's good that Klavier seems to be feeling better. Probably. It's probably good. On the other hand, there are a few misconceptions that should be cleared up. Probably. They should probably be cleared up.

It's a little harder when he's not as angry as he was initially. It's more frustration than anything, but he's sure he can get back to angry.]

I told you back when you first set yer sights on him that there was bad potential! You were fine with it! You'd have done it all if he was willing! You went and Frenched him and bragged about it! Me knowin' wasn't a problem, it was a fuckin' added fucking kink! [Every 'fucking' come with another hand gesture, until he's close enough to nab his shirt again, this time trying to pull him up onto his toes.] This time you got him balls-deep in you and yer done?! How the hell do you think that's gonna make him feel?!
