third entry | dating advice

Sender: Huntsman (Red Riding Hood) | Rokurou Rangetsu
Recipient: Everyone (EXCEPT Velvet)

So. I have a weird question, especially for the ladies.

Date suggestions, and maybe some advice.

Don't ask how this happened, I'm still trying to figure it out myself. (Shut up, Eizen.) But it's really more of a challenge than anything romantic, and I want to win this. [He's really selling his appeal, isn't he.]

Hunting and sparring is already an idea (yes, she does like those), but I was thinking of maybe trying something a little more...normal? [And now how does he talk about Velvet without saying it's Velvet and not potentially embarrassing her by talking too much.] I know some of her preferences and will try to keep those in mind, but that's about it.

So what do most girls generally like or don't like? Any good cafés or restaurants you've noticed around the Index? Or hangout place? I personally haven't really checked any before, but I will once we get back.

Like I said I'm not trying to win her over or anything, just let her actually have some fun and enjoy herself. She hasn't had that kind of experience in a while, so...

Anyway, thanks.

[...That's probably as subtle as he can get, so he'll just leave it at that. But that should do it, right? Good enough. Just tell him stuff that will help him win this unsaid bet—]

[ooc: just a note that Rokurou filtered this away from Velvet, but that won't be obvious to other people. he doesn't necessarily want to announce it's with Velvet since that just seems weird (like this whole thing isn't already), but if asked he'd probably answer. OH and this is set during Act II while everyone is still kind of chilling.]

[This time he catches it as he laughs before he tosses it back at him.]

Just don't get your hopes up. Wouldn't want you to feel devastated that your little "best friends ship" sinks.

[deadmentellnotails]

...my what?

[Eizen knows one way to use "shipping", Rokurou.]

[rokubro]

[Get hip, old man.]

You know, "ship"? Like relationship? But it's for when you pair two people together for a romantic one.

[deadmentellnotails]

...that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Who came up with that?

[rokubro]

No idea, but I heard it somewhere.

[Hearing it around here in a place filled with stories wouldn't be too far off. ...But it was probably Mags.]

[deadmentellnotails]

Never use it like that in my house again.

[rokubro]

But we're not even in your house...?

[deadmentellnotails]

You know what I mean.

[rokubro]

Uh huh.



So about those ships.

[deadmentellnotails]

Nope. Change the subject now or no booze for a month.

[rokubro]

[WOW.


But fine.]

All right, all right. Speaking of booze, think you can make some wine for me for later?

[You know. For the not date.]

[deadmentellnotails]

I'll try, but no promises. You may wanna buy a bottle just in case.

[rokubro]

You really need to work on getting control over it.

[deadmentellnotails]

Easier said than done, you know that.

[rokubro]

Haha, I know, I know.

But you could try selling it for a big profit.

[deadmentellnotails]

What, like some kind of alcohol roulette?

[rokubro]

Wouldn't be too bad for a game. Or just create a stock and sell them every now and then.

[deadmentellnotails]

You need a reliable source to sell things, Rokurou, and I'm not that. You don't care because your tastebuds died when you went daemon.

[rokubro]

Should you really be saying that when we like a lot of the same things?

[deadmentellnotails]

My tastebuds died when I went pirate. Comes with the territory.

[rokubro]

So in the end we both have shit taste.

[deadmentellnotails]

Yep. Are you surprised?

[rokubro]

Not really. We couldn't be friends otherwise.
