But yes, yes. There was another person there. But Viv was talking about a new RAGE. Um YES. Let's play. Giggling softly Jacks nodded her head. "Well of course I have heard of it. Pffft. WHO HASN'T. And a chocolate frog to the winner? I will take that bet and even throw in some Bott's Beans," she said as she dug around in her bag and extracted the beans.
Turning her attention to the one clearly named Lex she smiled sweetly. She was a little thing, wasn't she? "I won't forget that name. My cousin's name is Lexi. And I am Jacks... or Addy. But I am growing fond of Jacks lately," she said with a snort as she held her hand out to the younger girl.
And then she cut her eyes to the QUIET ONE. She needed a laugh, it seemed. All that sulking and calling people by their incorrect names and such. No. "I sing quite poorly. Think I should give it a go?" Heh. Oh, bad singing? Yes. Absolutely. That was a brilliant start even if Lex was slotted to go first. Genevieve didn't require anyone to stand up for her, but she let Jacks do it regardless.
And she gave the girl a little salute. Sing away, sailor. Quote:

"Abby Hastings." It was better to introduce herself rather than let the girl continue to call her 'Miss Thing.' "And.. I don't see your name written anywhere.. so, I hardly think this is YOUR compartment."
Oh, great. Welcome to the already crowded compartment, person.. who seemed to have a problem with her calling Genie 'Missy'. "If I knew her name, I wouldn't be calling her Missy now." DUH.
Waiiiit. WHAT!? She wanted to make her smile TOO? What is this? 'Make Abby smile contest'? "Listen.. whoever you are. If you really plan on bringing a smile to my pretty face, singing poorly is not going to do it." Just sayin'. Chace was the only person who could make her smile and he wasn't around. SO. Try as much as you want, people. Genie? Well. That was a bit painful and Genevieve gave the end of her ponytail a violent twirl before smiling broadly. Too broadly, really, for anyone who knew her.
"Nicknames already? We're like, totally besties and whatever. I'm going to call you Hasty." Because hobbits were ... no. Not because of that. Because of her last name, CLEARLY.
"You should just give up and smile already. We'll call it a draw and you can share the spoils of war." Namely... chocolate frogs. Quote:

"Nah, you're not that pretty, I was just staring because you're that girl that got all gross back at the platform!!" Yes she remembered her well. How could she forget when she was the first thing she saw upon crossing the wall? "I'll tell you one thing, I nearly went blind! Imagine walking through the wall and the first thing to greet you is two older kids kissing!" It was almost too much for the 11 year old!
She shrugged. "But if you want, I can lie that I think you're super pretty and that I'm staring for that reason!" She offered with an eager smile. Older girls liked getting lied to, that was obviously why they asked questions that already had clear-cut answers. "Ohhhh!" She nodded slowly as she tried to understand...well it did make sense.... "Oh yeah I do!" She dipped into the bag and pulled out a handful of pumpkin fizzes. "I don't particularly like these but I like seeing a full bag of candy and I had run out of options." Anything to make it looked like she had a treasure trove of candy!
Oh so she would be going first...hmm...she listened to the rules before trying to figure exactly how she would play it. So she couldn't touch her and she couldn't use magic...that would be hard--older kids hardly laughed without those two measures!!!
But hearing the girl tell the other girl that there was a chocolate frog at stake gave her new determination.
She turned to the girl. Hmmm...how would she do this...? The girl seemed bent on not smiling....
She turned to the girl that had just arrived again. She might as well had as she waited for inspiration to hit. She gave her a smile when she said she wouldn't forget her name. Good, because she didn't like being forgotten and the smile got wider when she threw in some candy of her own! "Oh, well I like Jacks too so I'll call you that!"
She giggled when Jacks offered to sing. This had been enough to get her, even though the girl hadn't song a note yet. "Sure give it a go!"
She looked over at the grumpy girl again when she assured Jacks that her singing wouldn't help. Hmmm...so singing wouldn't work. It was too bad though because she wanted to hear some bad singing! Genevieve took a pumpkin fizz silently, letting it settle on her tongue and fizzzzzz away while she watched the action in front of her. This could either go really well or devolve quickly... either way, it was amusing.
"Now, now, Lex. Insulting your prey is not the way to earn yourself a smile. Unless it's a funny insult." And generally speaking, telling someone they were ugly and gross was less than hilarious. Girlfriend needed to work on her insults. "For example..." She turned to the rather squashy looking cat that Jacks had deposited on the seat.
"Your cat is so fat... it's using all nine lives at once." No offense meant. Cat was kinda cute. Quote:

Okay. 1. Why was this one looking at her so funny? 2. What was so important in her bag that she was guarding it so? 3. Did she need to get the ring to Mordor or something? SNORT. Geddit... she is ickle. Anyway...
Jacks had just set Yoda the Obese in the seat next to her and got settled when she heard the little one tell the quiet one she was NOT that pretty. HEHEHEH. Oh how lovely. Jacks began to giggle and snort all over the place. HEHEH. Putting a hand over her mouth she just shifted her eyes back and forth between them.
She needed to sing. SHE NEEDED TO SING. Maybe she wasn't that bad... Clearing her throat and taking a moment to compose herself she began to belt out some greatness:
"IT'S TRICKY TO ROCK A RHYME, TO ROCK A RHYME THAT'S RIGHT ON TIME-- IT'S TRICKY, TRICKY, TRICKY!" They were familiar with it, no? THEY SHOULD SING ALONG. Well... RAP along. It was a sick beat, yo. Oh. Merlin. NO. Genevieve let Jacks shout sing at the top of her lungs for a few painful minutes before she covered her ears and leaned in to speak to Lex.
"Maybe it's your turn now. Do NOT sing."
