Lex takes a moment to flex the new tattoos covering his body. They really aren't anything beyond weird scribbles and curved lines from a design standpoint, as if trying to mimic actual occult symbols but failing completely. Though one looks SHOCKINGLY similar to the ritual circle you saw Phillip make back at Avalon. "Found a new tattoo shop. Apparently they give me powers like yours. So I thought, why not?"
>+1 RESTRAINT, +1 WILLPOWER, +ANOMALOUS TATTOOS BOON
Adam and Ashley immediately stick their noses up at this for VERY obvious reasons.
"Why the fuck do you WANT powers like her?" Ashley points the end of the baseball bat on you. "You do realize what she DID last time we were on a mission, right?"
Adam simply glances back at Benedict (who's completely zoned out) before looking back at Lex. "..."
"Hey! She's been nothing but helpful with her powers! So why not get some myself!" Lex puffs his chest out. "I can't be ALL brawn. Gotta be brainy too."
"If you explode someone with your mind I'm going to fucking gut you." Ashley hisses out.
"Hey, hey!" You step in between the two meatheads. "I think it's neat, okay? He's just trying his best to be nice. Hell, he's wearing YOUR band tshirt. You could at least be a bit nicer to him." You flash a smug smile. "Maybe he's trying to court both of us."
Ashley scans Lex from head to toe with her eyes. Her expression is emotionless and numb, hiding what she's feeling to everyone in the room...besides you. <<span class="mu-b">"I mean, depends what he's packing down there. He's not too bad looking."</span>> "Nah. Not exactly my type."
Lex's face is caked in a bright, almost neon red blush. "I-it's really only because I do like your music, though. It's not really meant to, fuck, uh. Be. That." Your comment completely threw him off guard. <<span class="mu-b">"FUCK HOW DID SHE KNOW FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK-"</span>>
>LOW RESTRAINT OUTBURST TRIGGER.
[UNSTABLE] "PFFFFT." Your mouth widens into a smile that shows WAY too many teeth, almost like a Harvester's smile. "Holy fucking shit are you guys SERIOUS? WOW. GET A ROOM." You slide over to Lex. "And heeeyyy, if she doesn't accept? You know?" Your smile widens even further. "I wouldn't mind."
[UNSTABLE] You really aren't considering it, you're messing with him.
"SHUT UP SHUT THE FUCK UP." Lex's neon blush only gets even brighter. Even Ashley gets flustered when she remembers, oh yeah, you can read her mind.
"Fuck." Ashley tries her best to hide in her leather jacket like a turtle retreating into her shell.
"Repulsive." "DiSguSting." Adam and Benedict mutter to each other.
[UNSTABLE] "Awww, c'mon, don't act like-"
Lex immediately covers your mouth. "Shut." Despite the stern tone in his voice and the fact Ashley is trying to hide in her jacket, <span class="mu-g">you can see both of them sprouting bright, beaming smiles.</span>
>0.5 RAPPORT added to Lex and Ashley!
You pry his mouth off with some minor telekinesis. "Okay but seriously, what's up with the band t-shirt?"
