Wednesday DE: Teeth-clenched teamwork

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Your character has to work with someone, possibly indefinitely. One problem, though: The other person hates them. How does your character deal with this?

For Cassian, this usually happens the other way around when he's deep undercover but I'm sure there are people who've worked with him and hated him. He basically puts his head down and does the work. Kay helps a lot here because often Kay will say the snarky things that Cassian can't.

Quentin's had to deal with this sometimes in canon and his modes are either snarky teen or snooty Pureblood.

Charles goes very patient and slips kind of into teacher/professor mode when he has to be around someone he doesn't like.

Sameth, hm, I think he gets more awkward and if he can spend more time making things than he does.

Moist finishes the job as fast as he can and makes that person look foolish.

For Demeter, it depends on how they treat her whether she ignores them or does something to them.

This is canon for Will S. as his early relationship with Little John was very much not liking each other, so posturing, fighting, snark.

William tends to get quiet about it and then loses his temper at some point.

Ivan goes all diplomatic and quiet like look I'm not worth your energy hating.

Tumnus is another who kind of hides.

Ahsoka: Lots of snippy comments and snark, e.g. "I hope you don't choke on your stupidity."

Sabine: Lots of snark and tense dialog. And eye rolls.

Viv: Doesn't bother her as her emotional subprocessors are shut down...no, really they are.

Jess: LOTS of snark.

Tybalt: Blatant threats as to what will happen if the hated person dares to interfere in whatever task is requiring them to work together.

Alustin: Over the top politeness and courtesy, as well as snark. (I'm sensing a theme here.)

Wen Qing: Plays along but is always fingering her needles.

WWX: That's no problem, you just joke and tease and act outrageously until the other person is forced to interact with you, and make friends. After all, Lan Zhan hated him when they were younger.

Cecil: Oh he's all smiles and helpfulness right up until he finds a way to ditch said other person. Hopefully while narrating the other person's fate over the radio.

Jon: ... I'm sorry, is there some other way to work? You just... do your job.

Klaus: Be as annoying as possible. But not for any of that 'making friends' business, just to annoy the shit out of them. Vengeance, bitches.

Peter: he's probably going to work to cheer them up and figure out a way to work together

Harry: he says, please see "Skin Game"
