[ It's so strange to be able to type again. After literally years of having to handwrite written messages, it's odd to use a phone again. It's perhaps that more than anything which sees him putting up this post onto the social media network. It's form a "newbie" and it might be out of place with the growing dark climate with the flickering lights and rotting foot, but it's something he throws out all the same.

And it's...! ]

Soooo!! Does anyone know any god date spots in the castle? Anyone already sailing the seas of romance before now, or is the stark soldiery we've been pushed towards put a quash on romance in the name of stoic friendship? Let's hear those stories, people! Crushes, illicit affairs, pining, maybe even marriage?! You can trust your tales to the Love Hunter Masa.

O o o r r r . . .

How about a game? ♥ We could do truth or dare if you like but while we're all a little hungry, how about word association! I'll even start us off:

Third Party.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

no.

checkers.

[One thing Tim has never been is one to beat around the bush, at least.]

Aw man, and here I was hoping to do the joint bathroom thing!

Shogi.

what the hell is a shogi

[Can't play word association if you don't recognize the word, sorry. It's not like his education was all that great back at home.]

[ Haaah. But then, the guy did say his name was "Tim" so maybe it's not unexpected all things considered. And so after frowning a little at a not at all distant memory, Masaomi types back, ]

It's a Japanese board game which is pretty similar to chess all things considered. A friend of mine loves it.

oh.

[A man of many words, Tim is.]

defeat.

Yeah it's not bad.

Zompania.

[Ah geez, again? Tim's feeling dumber by the second.]

gonna have to explain that one too.

[ To be fair to him, that one, ]

There's no way you could know it - it's a place that me and mine suffered a terrible defeat in the last world I was in - one so bad that we needed to go back in time to make it less bad.

isn't that kind of cheating?

If you say so I'll agree that it is and stick away from personal things! But to me, if it's word association, the "winning" is in getting to know the other person. So Tim-san gets to know Masaomi and Masaomi gets to know Tim-san, so it's still a win even if you need to get something explained or you're confused why there would be the association.

Buuuut I'd get where that might not be ideal too! So if it's not, we'll keep it generic!

No harms here, my man.

[Man this socializing thing is brutal. How do people do it?]

oh ok. sorry, i've never really done this before.

you keep saying that san thing. what is that.

No need to be sorry.

A cultural thing! I'm Masaomi Kida, and I'm what you'd call the impetuous youth of Tokyo-!

[ Even if he's twenty now. halfway to twenty-one. But most of that was in another world so shhh let him have his moment. In truth, it still exists even after legions of people ask him about it because of his desire to keep some roots. ]

And in Japan, you'd add little honorifics to someone's name to express familiarity or unfamiliarity, as as matter of respect. So, Tim-san. It's more or less Mr. Tim.

huh.

[Interesting. He's not really sure how he likes the sound of it - he's not someone who deserves that kind of honorific, no matter which hemisphere you're from - but he doubts he could do very much to stop it even if he wanted to.]

that's pretty cool i guess. and you're mr. [brb, scrolling back to the top of his message] masa?

Ah, now I need to be sorry! I should have introduced myself, particularly after you gave your name.

I'm Masaomi Kida. ♥ And you can call me whatever you like.

i mean i could've stuck with "love hunter masa" but i feel like that could've gotten awkward real fast.

If you want, I'll take it and we could be bosom buddies and not bathroom buddies.

[?????????]

are you

flirting with me??

[ Masaomi would insist he does not swing that way if pressed.

... On the other hand, messing with someone over text is an all audience thing so. ]
