Aubrey Price

Isn’t it the virgins who tend to make it to the end? If so, I really should have held out another month or so. 

The virgin thing would work if we were in an 80's classic, but we'd be in one of the awful modern ones, so chances are everyone would have sex, and the one who still seems the least corrupt would live. Or maybe we'd be in one of those 'let's break all the cliches!' films and I'd end up being the survivor. I'm definitely more entertaining, so perhaps that'd make sense.

It seems everyone has been busy lately..

Maybe Penbrook is being attacked by a serial killer. Judging by past horror films, I'm guessing you're more likely to survive than most. Every film as the token nice girl who lives to see the sequels.

When you put it that way, I’m still interested in seeing you lose your cool. Even in COD, you remain so damned calm. Seriously, what are you like? Are you physical or maybe abusive through words?

I'm calm when we play COD because I hold back how embarrassingly into it I get. If you hear me play alone, it's an endless stream of cursing and frustrated screeching. When it comes to losing my cool around people, I'm never physical. I just get very...creative with my words.

I’m slightly insulted Price. Mild,  you’re like a kitten sometimes. I am not your source of amusement disregarding the time with the maid outfit. 

Even the fluffiest kitten has claws, Gabe, though I like to think I'm more of a lioness. And if you get to try and provoke me into becoming angry for your own entertainment, I should at least be able to become amused when you fail. It's only fair.

And just when I thought you’d be willing to do anything for money. Way to not be another Anna Nicole, I’d respect that but I rather not since this is depriving me of entertainment.

You're so very lucky I'm taking the mellow route today.

Hey trailer park, I’ll give you 200 if you just keep your mouth shut all together? Deal?

Aw, that's such a sweet and giving gesture, but I must decline. I'm not that desperate for money, and I fear the downfall of Penbrook if I had to remain silent at all times.

Well, I guess it would be difficult to be mad at me, huh Price? Considering everything. And an angry Price is something I could deal with. I’m pretty sure about that. 

You're less infuriating than most people I know, so probably. And I'm not sure if you could. You've only had to deal with me when I'm very mild. I heat to break it to you, but I doubt you could tame the beast. It'd be pretty hilarious watching you try though.

Yes, but I also know if anything I could break you from trying this habit fairly quickly and I want to see just how quickly I could do it.

You're in a lose-lose situation if you go ahead with that. Either I end up remaining calm despite your attempts, therefore proving you wrong, or you bring out angry Aubrey and have to deal with it.

Maybe you should invest in a punching bag or a gym membership. That should help you relieve some of the stress without having to pop anything.

I'm surprisingly not a very violent person, not even with punching bags - I prefer to bring people down in battles of wit, but the gym membership isn't the worst of ideas. I'd greatly rather it be an option to just not have to co-exist with the sides of society that infuriate me, but I guess that'd be asking too much.

Hearing her enthusiasm, Gabriel’s smile grew to extraordinary proportions. It was really different being around Aubrey, in comparison, to being with Grace. With Aubrey, Gabriel was comfortable and almost witty in her presence. Whereas with Grace, he was nervous and sometimes still stuttered although Grace seemed to like the power she had on him. As he thought back to the few girls that had been in his life and he had any type of relationship with, they were never as comforting as Aubrey’s presence was. Which was ironic because most of their conversations were nicely veiled insults and competitiveness on steroids. Pausing in his thoughts, he couldn’t believe he was having an internal monologue comparing two very different girls in his life. 

"You're still talking like you're going to win. You're only making my inevitable victory even better with your arrogance, Reeves," she pointed out, smirking as she cradled the controller in her hands with the sort of familiarity that a painter might show when holding his brush. "Guys pick boring dares that aim for momentary shame. Girls tend to pick dares that provide long-term embarrassment. And don't forget that I'm game for nearly anything. You'd have to pick something really awful for me to even consider vetoing it. And your puppy dog face is pretty endearing, but I'm a hard shell to crack. Keep at it. I'm sure it'll work on me one day, or at least you'll amuse be by trying."
