handwritten; fail-locked from edgar

[moonspell]

[ Lydia's updating idly from her father's study while she's looking up certain things about a certain stone that a certain butler happened to hand her after a certain stupid orange-haired twit dropped it while aguing with Lydia. ]

Say that I made a bet with someone over whether or not Edgar would try to kiss me as soon as he gets the chance? I'm fairly confident in my chances even if the stakes are pretty high, but what do you guys think? It was sort of heat of the moment when I made the bet, but I'm wondering if Edgar would or wouldn't do something like that..

[ After all, he was a gentleman and actually didn't peek at her at the waterpark. So now she's second thinking her bet... it's a little late now, but still. ]

Has anyone else ever made a bet in the heat of the moment like this that they're not quite sure about the more they think about it but it's too late to take back?

See, I would make a bet right now, but that just sounds sort of horrible right off the bat and kissing is definitely something I wouldn't bet on. I dunno if it's just me, but it sorta seems distasteful...but why are you asking something like this, anyways?

[Of course, Sasayan has morals and the good kinds, not the ones that tell him to bet on something like kissing.]

...did you...make a bet with someone over this...?

[moonspell]

...With Raven, yes.

[ Slight. Shame here now. ]

I was upset with Edgar over something that hard-headed Rosalie was arguing with me about and he certainly didn't take my side even if she was clearly being

[ She's getting upset again and she knows it so she's going to stop writing and just breathe for a second before continuing ]

It was silly anyway.

[hasdoneit]

[He's going to take a moment to just lock this here because this is serious shit for him alright.]

...you know, I didn't expect this sort of thing from you in the first place. I'm a little disappointed...

[He let out a little sigh, tapping his head over what he wants to say next.]

And why would you get upset over something like that in the first place? Don't tell me you're actually letting that guy get into your head like that.

[locked]

[moonspell]

Regardless of whether he was in my head or not, if he's going to keep trying to force this idea that he cares for me then refuse to even pick a hair color he likes better because a certain woman is being particularly rude and degrading toward me simply because he hasn't "sampled" me yet as though I were something he should be able to get a try of then walk away cleanly is still rather infuriating.

[material_guy]

So you want him to try and kiss you?

[moonspell]

Of course not. I bet that he would try because Raven said that he wasn't the type to do things so frivolously.

[ ..Essentially, she bet that he was a manho and Raven said no he wasn't after Lydia's literally had a fight with another girl and Edgar refused to say who he preferred. ]

[material_guy]

It'd be better for you if he did, right? With the bet 'n all.

[moonspell]

It's not as though I want to have to slap Edgar.

[handwritten]

[lifeisbrief]

You made a bet like that?

[handwritten]

[moonspell]

It was rather in the heat of the moment..

[handwritten]

[lifeisbrief]

Hmm, well, do you think the other person might also be regretting it?

[cleanestwitch]

I do not think matters of the heart are things which should be bet upon.

[moonspell]

I don't necessarily believe it to be a matter of the heart to him.

[cleanestwitch]

And yourself?

voice;

[selene]

So are the two of you going to kiss now?!

[ Usagi here is totally missing the point, but she probably doesn't even realise it herself.. (bless her innocent heart.) Instead she just seems like an excited shipper. ]

voice;

[moonspell]

Hardly, I wouldn't kiss him.

[selene]

[ Shipper dream status: shot down. For now. ]

Then why did you make a bet over it, Lydia-chan? It's not like it's about you wanting to kiss him in that bet.. from that it sounds like, at least!

[voice]

[desertification]

[...Lydia, you're kind of weird.]

I'd focus more on winning the bet.

[Even if it's a stupid one.]

[voice]

[moonspell]

It isn't as though I have any role in winning that bet or not, it just depends on Edgar's actions. If I hold an active role in it and win, then it won't have been arbitrarily anyway.

[ It's like betting on which way the wind blows.. ]

[rosejam]

Is the Earl trying something...?

[Don't break her innocent heart.]

[moonspell]

He usually is.

[rosejam]

Truly? He seems like such a gentleman...

[refinedvillian]

What would the prizes be? If you're willing to share, I could help you win the bet.

[moonspell]

I'm not willing to cheat in order to win and such a bet might be voided just by you knowing about it.

[ Obviously she'd wanted this to get blocked from him. ]

[refinedvillian]

There's no need. My actions have already been decided.
