Closed X: The step into other worlds

"I'll get her... She will be mine..."
"Keep telling yourself that." Darkness snickered.
"Shut up..." he grumbled, "Where's the other bedrooms and where's the kitchen?"
"Down the hall and to the left, and all this hallway respectively."
As Jesse exited the room, Darkness and Hera collapsed with laughter.
"I never thought I'd say something like this about her, but she's too good for him..."
"That line was pathetic!"
Darkness looked up as she heard someone land in the next room over, then fell back into laughter. At least she wouldn't have to worry about Rhythm now; she could enjoy this more thoroughly.
 
Sephii snickered, as Jax walked in the room.

"You guys woke me up with that racket." she moaned, fixing her hair, "Who's this guy?"

She pointed to the now-leaving Jesse.
 
Rhythm snickered as he left the room and closed the door behind him. It seemed like Opal and him were actually getting closer, since...yeah. As he dwelled on the thoughts, he didn't notice the newcomer pass by him until about five seconds later. Figuring he'd ask someone later, he walked towards the room which everyone was crowding in.
 
"That was my brother. Oh man, what an idiot..." Hera howled.
"That was so awful it was awesome." Darkness chuckled, blinking up at Rhythm. "Oh, hello there-ahahaha!!"
----------
Straight into the kitchen like he usually did.
"She'll fall for me..." Jesse muttered, "She will..." little did he know that this had attracted the attention of a very bored Spirit.
"Oh, you." she muttered.
 
Rhythm blinked in confusion. He strayed away from his thoughts long enough to ask a question.
"Why...What'd I miss this time? Also, I thought I heard a loud bang while I was heading back..."
 
"Let's see here... You missed my idiot brother who you might've passed in the hallway attracting a bear. That bang you heard was me shooting it; didn't you see the furry thing outside the window?" Hera asked, "You also missed Opal running in here and him trying to get with her and failing."
"It was quite pathetic." Darkness laughed.
-----------
"Yes, me." Jesse mumbled, "Is that a problem?"
"No." Spirit replied, "But I thought you weren't coming till tomorrow."
 
"I probably wasn't looking at the wind-wait." Rhythm muttered, just then realizing what they had said.
"Your brother tried to get with...Opal?" He looked like he was about to burst with laughter, but being Rhythm, he restrained it.
"Dear God, what'd she say?"
 
"She said something along the lines of 'you're going to have to try harder, I don't fall for just anyone' and 'don't try that again'." Darkness snickered.
"Knowing him, he won't take the hint even though he should." Hera giggled, "He probably thinks it means don't try the pickup lines again."
-----------
"Well I'm here." he finally turned toward Spirit, giving her that rejected look.
"Oooh, I know that look. Who'd you hit on now?"
 
"Oh god." Rhythm smiled, holding in his laughter for now, "Jesse's got no chance. If he's not going to try pickup lines again, I can't wait to see what'll happen next." As he began to walk out, he stopped and turned.
"Oy, if either one of you should catch Opal slapping him on video then be sure to let me watch it."
 
"Trust me, if I wind up getting that on camera, everyone's seeing it." Hera assured.
"Hell, if I do it it's going on the internet the second it's recorded." Darkness laughed.
--------------
"I um..."
"Tell meee...." Spirit whined.
"...That black-haired one. The one with the brown eyes."
Spirit paused a moment, then struggled to hold in laughter.
"You hit on Opal?!"
"Is that her name? She's freaking gorgeous..."
 
Rhythm smiled, then left the room. The way it sounded, Jesse was not going to be able to get Opal at all. No chance. Deep down, he felt sorry for him. It had been an entertaining time when he himself had been dating Opal. Shaking the thoughts out of his head, he walked into the kitchen.
"Ah, look who we have here." Rhythm said, spotting the newcomer. As soon as he saw him, his wings twitched at the same time. It was probably out of exhaustion.
 
"They're still on about me in there, aren't they?" Jesse asked simply, as Spirit's attention had been attracted to something else, "I don't see what's so funny about it. That girl's gorgeous and that's all there is to it." Closing the refrigerator, he turned to face Rhythm.
"Ah, I almost forgot. My sister told me, and she keeps in the affairs of our cousins far more than I do so I believe her when she tells me of the engagement. Congratulations."
 
Rhythm smiled. His thoughts drifted to the sleeping Zora, but he didn't dwell on it since he knew what had caused her to be asleep at the moment.
"Heh, thanks." He said, grabbing an apple and beginning to walk out of the room. Then he stopped, turned, and smirked at Jesse.
"By the way, just give up on Opal. It won't work. I should know."
 
"You're welcome, and I have my ways..." Jesse grumbled.
Spirit glanced at them, almost wanting to interject with a smart remark. She held back though, and just watched.
----------
Meanwhile, Darkness and Hera had finally stopped laughing, and had gotten up again.
"I'm going back out with the others." Darkness mumbled.
"Be joining you in a minute, go on."
 
Jax and Sephii walked into the kitchen.

"Hey Spirit....and Jesse, right?" Jax asked.

Sephii grabbed some fruit. She always ate fruit when she could.
 
Rhythm smirked, taking a bite of the apple and staring at the wall.
"Alright, Jesse, don't say I didn't warn you. Good luck trying." He muttered, walking out and planning to head back to his room.
 
Jesse simply grunted, walked out into the main room, sat in a chair and fumed.
"You look like a two year old." Spirit commented as Darkness walked out again.
"Shut up..."
 
Rhythm walked back into his room, where he found Opal sitting up in the bed.
"I thought you were heading to sleep." He wondered, sitting in a chair and continuing to eat his apple.
"Yeah, well, Hera's brother scared the living hell out of me, so I can't sleep very well." Opal muttered, laying back down.
 
"Well I'm sure he could be a perfect gentleman if he really tried." Spirit stated, "He just doesn't want to." she smiled and glanced in his direction.
"He can." Darkness mumbled, "I've seen it happen."
"I reiterate, shut up..."
