[envy will be waiting at the bar! he has already half-finished a cocktail for Courage, and he's sitting here with his hands wrapped around it. whenever gu yun approaches, multiple eyes blink open to peer at him before envy lifts his head to look over, giving him a slightly awkward wave.]
Um- hi! Sorry about, you know, that whole.... well. That.
[after a second:]
For the record, I was debating between a couple of you for the last spot?
the bar is gu yun's favorite place here, actually, so what a great place to meet. he's dressed casually for the evening, dark robes loose, long hair half pulled back in the pretty lines of a braid at the back of his head, liuli glass on the bridge of his nose. gu yun waves a hand to dismiss the apology at first, but then envy says that and he just??? smells the blood in the water i'm so sorry ]
Oh? I bet you say that to everyone. Suppose I'll have to ensure myself a ranking place for next time. [ and then winks.
with that, he slides back behind the bar to fetch himself a bottle of wine, and offers envy a playful, teasing grin. ]
It's no trouble, nothing you need to apologize for, Envy - I barely understood half of what was going on. [ five nights at freddys... ] You won't get in any sort of trouble for that, will you?
[ gu yun laughs, light and easy - he did make a promise, right. ] Sorry, sorry - couldn't help it. I really am very flattered. And, I have been wanting to chat with you, anyhow. Wrath mentioned to me that you're good with your hands.
[ closes eyes ] You made the cloaks everyone wears, didn't you?
[ "couldn't help it" he says, continuing to flirt as he pulls down a bottle of wine and sets about uncorking it. ]
That is good to hear. I was wondering, though - if there's no necessity to hiding your faces, why do so? Perhaps just for privacy?
I, um, I am! I mean, I did, I make-- a lot of things, actually. Sweaters and blankets and stuff, and food, when someone else isn't hogging the kitchen.
[he sounds pleased that wrath complimented him... they're one of his favorites.]
But it just seemed like something we should do, I guess? Also a couple of the others just don't like to be perceived or submit to the whole, uh, mortifying ordeal of being known.
he nods along, pouring himself a glass. ] How talented.
[ with that, gu yun comes around and plops into the chair beside him, drink in hand. he then props his chin in his hand, elbow on the table, those peach blossom eyes twinkling with a little mischief. ] Then...is that you, at the moment? Wanting not to be perceived? Or known?
Much. [ yay! ] One of the others mentioned to me that you all had been here alone for a while - well, besides having each other, of course. It must be rather exciting, hm?
The trick, Envy - [ gu yun leeeaaans in, holding his hand up to cover his mouth from 'passerby', and says in a low, secretive voice - ] - is to pretend that you know what you're doing, all the time.
[ and then pulls back from that, grinning like a sly fox. ] You'd be surprised how well that works.
[ is. is he joking. does he know that from personal experience????? its a mystery ]
Maybe I can help. According to the little devices we have, my page says that I'm an excellent actor.
[ which. he is.
he puts his chin in his hand again. ] Though, I think there's something to be said for being yourself, as well. The participants and the other Avatars alike seem to like you quite a bit as you are, Envy. So, perhaps overthinking it is just as out of the question.

[his posture shrinks, slightly, and he downs a little more of his drink.]
But, um- I don't think I will? Pretty sure some of the others will judge me over it, but it shouldn't cause any trouble.

[he finishes his drink in one shot.]
But overall, um-- the opposite, probably? I don't... this is the first time I haven't been alone? At least as far as other living people go.

Then... perhaps you'd be willing to chat with me face to face?
