Augie opened his mouth to say something in response to Alice, but was distracted by Ron yelling. His brow furrowed, and his face lost all sense of humour. He must've been yelling at Ara, seeing as she arrived with Rob, and still hadn't come downstairs. He didn't catch all of what Ron yelled, but "Jealous" was definitely in there.
   He looked back to Alice, only to find she'd seemingly teleported away. He shrugged, and leaned against the nearby wall, taking a sip of cider. He reached up to rub at his eyes, but stopped, remembering his face paint. [Color=A43333]"Man, saltwater was a far worse idea than I thought,"[/color] he thought, blinking furiously. Just then, Ron came striding down the stairs, basically pulling Claire behind him, with Deus following, and a loud absence of Ara. He looked long and hard at Ron, folding his arms. Based on what Ron yelled, how he was dragging Claire along, and how Ara hadn't come downstairs, Augie attempted a guess at what was going on.
   
He had been so absorbed in trying to figure out what was going on, that he didn't notice Rob had started his karaoke until the first scream. His face split into a wide grin, and he started headbanging along. He'd never have guessed that Dancing Queen would immediately sound better if it was metal. About halfway through, his eyes caught Ron through his tears of laughter. He was just sitting there, looking unamused and eating peanut m&ms.
   After the karaoke, Ron stood up and suggested that they all play truth or dare. Augie crossed his arms and gave a little scowl. [Color=A43333]"Nobody's drunk yet, Ron. What the fuck has got into you? Now, I don't know what's going on, but from what I can gather, you're not happy about something, and you're throwing a bit of a tantrum. You blew up at Ara because she showed up with Rob, and now you're trying to make her jealous by using Claire. Fucking cut it out. It makes you look immature and petty, and they aren't good looks,"[/color] he said, growing more irritated with every word. He stopped for breath and closed his eyes for a second, taking a bit of time to breathe. [Color=A43333]"Cut your shit,"[/color] he finished simply.
