"Sometimes people do get you," Jordan said, very quietly. "The ones you don't expect at all." He turned and headed back over to pour himself another drink, leaving Melvin to settle things with himself.

"That's not an answer Melvin. I did not ask if you trusted me with things. I asked if you trusted me, as a whole," She eyed the ring. "I guess it doesn't work on emotionless boulders."

He frowned, but answered. "No. Not as a whole." Et Tu, Rin?

"Why not?" Rin looked stern and emotionless.

Other people's misery made a pretty good backdrop to drinking Rep thought to himself, he hadn't registered Candace leaving.
"I wouldn't trust her either."

"I normally don't care what people say much," Harrison volunteered. "Lying's easy. Now being the exception, but even then. People say s**t. But they either come through for you or they don't. That's trust."
He didn't know Melvin as well, but he didn't think Melvin was being a total a*****e. Part of the dare was risky questions. He wasn't sure what Jordan meant by low ambition. ...Did he want Harrison to start looking at division leader? ...President? World domination, Horsemen style?
"I'd been meaning to get around to asking you. This one you don't need a ring on for. But are you interested in partnering up to study Artifacts? Edith told me I oughta study like, the medical side of it. Not that I'm a scientist. But I thought it might help like, figuring out how to deal with MP damage."

Through the commotion, he looked at Mimsy and registered she was asking him something. "I'm not hiding behind the name of science. I wanted to find things for myself. I don't get my rocks off from being uncomfortable or making other people upset though sometimes I do find the verbal victory satisfying and getting people to answer is my goal even if they didn't want to at first. Also, Life has has a lot of reputations. I don't know which one you are thinking of that applies to me." He had seen some rather questions side projects and hobbies from the Lifers ranging from extra boob pills to put in the Deus water supply and also runic x-ray glasses.

To Rin, he had to take a breath. "I don't trust you because I still don't know you. I still think you could turn on me, and now that we're together, you're going to become bitter and angry at me one day and use whatever you can to hurt me. I would like to think that you'd save me if I was laying dead in some cluster of shadows, but I don't trust you enough to offer more. I did trust you more than anyone here, but I don't know now. You just called me a emotionless boulder. I'm already wearing on you and it will only get worse from here." He would turn her into a husk of a woman, make her bitter and hate him, and she would leave.
He looked at Harrison. "I"d like to research with you. I always wanted to help the Moons out more." He worked on the ring more, feeling cold and hollow inside, like ice was melting inside of him and dripping down his ribcage and spine. Something cold but burning.

Tuck hoisted Candace over his shoulder (something he'd learned from Dakota) and stumbled slightly as he made for the door. "Be back in like." He held up two fingers. "This many. Hours, not minutes." Tuck paused and snagged the bottle he'd been nursing. "Maybe." He then slapped Candace on dat a** before traipsing out of the room, humming a little song real happy-like.

Yes, yes she had.

At Lucky's question, he just looked confused as he tried to figure out what the hell he was saying. "What?" Then he got what he said.
"I want to kill Rep right now because he lied to me, but I doubt I could kill anyone. I don't have a good track record of causing damage. I do hate Doctor H."
"The only person I'd currently ******** is Rin since she knows how I like things." He flushed at that, and cleared his throat.
"I don't want to marry."
He was a bit more frantic now with the ring pulling considering the questions with to heavy to embarrassing rather quickly.

Candace squealed with surprised as she was suddenly lifted, laughing once she realized what was being done to her. She was glad for the assurance of hours and not minutes. The slap made her squeak again, giggling and just letting Tuck carry her out.

With one quick yank and a tug, Melvin pulled off the ring and winced. He might have just scratched his finger to hell to tear it off but nothing a bit of time healing wouldn't fix.
With a sigh, he set the ring on the table. The deal had not been worth it, and he regretted every minute of it.
