there's seven things i hate about you....

[hypercompetent]

shut up i totally didn't quote miley cyrus THE TEN THINGS TO TEN PEOPLE MEME
1. post a comment detailing 10 things your character has to say to 10 people! Or more, or less. Do whatever number you think is necessary!

2. don't designate who each number is for! they can be as specific or vague as you want, but no names, just letters/numbers.

3. Other characters can respond (hey is number 3 me? You jerk!), or wonder about the other numbers (you got into a fight with your number 9? who was that?) et cetera, et cetera.

4. Let the heartfelt feelings/awkward miscommunication/passive aggressive bitchiness begin!!

Comments

That's rather vague. Care to give a lady a hint?

[alwaysimpure]

A friend from where I come from, we've known each other since childhood.

[provenworth]

[Have an impatient eyeroll. Laney no like.]

All right, then, since that's the game you want to play. I'll guess to say, then, that maybe you're referring to a James Potter?

[alwaysimpure]

Er, no, actually.

...you know James? And you know we're friends, apparently. I don't believe we've met?

[provenworth]

No? Oh. Sorry, I assumed...

I do. Known him for roughly 2 years. And, to be honest, he hasn't mentioned you by name but...there aren't a lot of people here who talk about childhood friends. James is one of the handful that does.

And we haven't. I'm Elena. And you are?

[alwaysimpure]

James isn't... He's my best friend. We are best friends. Still. Just started when we were children.

I'm Sirius. Nice to meet you, Elena.

[provenworth]

Ah, how fortunate for him. After Lily came and went - twice - he could use some childhood friends around.

The pleasure is mine. Do me a favor, would you? Keep him from jumping off buildings. Even if he is flying on his broomstick, it scares the locals.

[alwaysimpure]

If he'll let me close, sure.

But I'm not the responsible one, I'm afraid.

[provenworth]

...Is there a reason why he wouldn't?

Please, oh please, tell me that the responsible one isn't James. How about that Remus person? Is he from your world and the responsible one?

[alwaysimpure]

Because I was here and left before. Maybe other reasons. [Not as privy to James' mind as he feels he should be.]

Well, James is more responsible than me. Used to be, at least. But, yeah, Remus is the responsible one. I'm the one with the great ideas.

[provenworth]

Were you? [She doesn't remember a previous Sirius, but there are good odds their paths never crossed.] If I know James, it won't take you long before he's chewing your ear off wanting to tell you everything and have you reciprocate in kind.

[Have a little smirking shake of her head.]

Thank Shiva for little things. James, while kind, has a bit of a knack of putting himself in precarious situations in the name of responsibility.
