[Backdated to this afternoon, because Akai is slow.]

Hey, Brave Vesperia! I got us a job, if anybody wants to help out. Atsuki's asked if we can build a hang-out spot in the southern half of the village, so people don't have to walk all the way to the plaza just to have some fun. I wanna get started with scouting out the area, but I want to know if anybody's interested in helping out.

Same goes for anyone not in the guild- if you're bored and looking for some hard labour to keep you busy, I won't say no to the help!

[Zack is wandering through the village, doing just what he said- scouting out a spot that would work for the new building. What's most noticeable is that a) he's wearing a brilliant pink shirt and b) he's got a pink bow tied in his hair. Yes, it seems that he took Aerith up on her bet to wear pink like the manly man he is. He's got his journal ready to respond to whatever.]

I can't really lecture you about looking on the outside how you feel on the inside.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure you could. It might just be hypocritical, is all.

[wingenvy]

I'm a terrible hypocrite. One of the worst kinds.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Now, I don't believe that. Terrible hypocrites are the obvious ones.

You're not that obvious.

[wingenvy]

I just distract people with my dashing good looks and amazing charisma.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

And your cheesy self-serving one-liners.

[wingenvy]

Oh, can't forget about those! They always get the girl.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's the one liners that get the girls, Zack.

[wingenvy]

I don't know about that! Girls love guys with confidence.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Sure, but that's only if they can laugh at themselves after spouting off the one-liners. It's more the attitude than anything.

Of course, you probably know that already.

[wingenvy]

Can't argue with that. But I think I've shamelessly stolen enough hearts in Luceti, so I need to behave myself now!

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

You've stolen a few. [Guy smiles, and goes to fetch himself a glass for his own drink.]

[wingenvy]

You're my elusive gold chocobo.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but I'm flattered.

[wingenvy]

Maybe I'll just leave you guessing. It's more adventurous that way.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

My guesses are pretty good. [Guy tosses a few liquids into a shaker.]

Besides, we wouldn't be good together anyway, even if we weren't interested in other people.

[wingenvy]

Nah, you're right. Good friends, but... I dunno, we sort of poke at each other and do the roundabout with issues, don't we? [It's easy to admit with Guy because... well, he knows, doesn't he?]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Yep.

We wouldn't push each other to talk about things we'd rather avoid because we don't want the topic to turn around onto ourselves.

[wingenvy]

It's amazing how people put up with us. We must be real frustrating.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

...But we're also handsome as hell so I don't see why anyone would complain.

[wingenvy]

You have a damn good point there, sir.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Why thank you. [Guy lifts his glass in a mock toast.]

[wingenvy]

[Zack returns the favour. Cheers, man.]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Drinking-

ahhhh. Better.]

...I'm pretty sure Asch is getting frustrated with me, though.

[wingenvy]

[...Oh my, some insight. Zack treads lightly (or at least seriously) in unfamiliar territory- with Guy, anyway. He knows how fast the blond clams up, so he cocks his head to one side questioningly.] What do you mean?
