[ 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.

[Goofy fun stuff on the networks is always appreciated. Maybe even especially so when things get dark. When Minako finally gets her phone back, she scrolls through to catch up on what's going on, and sees this.

What. A. Dork.

She immediately likes him.]

My, you're enthusiastic. There are certainly some couples running about the castle, but I wouldn't say any particular place is very romantic, unless you find fighting shadow monsters romantic.

[Not that she has anything to say about that. Cough.]

That said, I do like games. Psychological ones are often very interesting.

Business.

[ Oh, somewhat late. He smiles to himself though, because he's got no deadline to this - it's a way to gauge the population and see how people are reacting both to him and to the world around them. The man smiles to himself, therefore, choosing to assume until this is proven wrong that she's a pretty girl. ]

So you're not into Gardens, huh? That's the only lasting suggestion I've gotten from people and now *that* is a shame. Aren't traumatized soldier couples even allowed some respite from the whole thing? Not like even those that keep the monsters can bay would mind a snuggle up. I know I wouldn't.


Eeeeven if calling me "psychological" is probably too strong.

Convenience Store.

[wildcardpotential]

[Fashionably late! It isn't like the network posts ever disappear, anyway.

Well. He's not exactly wrong, but that is a matter of opinion.]

Oh I don't have anything against it, I guess I just never looked at it as a date opportunity. Just a chance to relax with some growing things and see the stars. I mean I guess there's the onsen, but that isn't exactly private, either.

I wouldn't say they don't get their snuggle on, either.

[She remembers seeing Rin and Bon's room, and how the beds were pushed together. Yeah.]

Weeeeell, word associations always involve a little psychology, wouldn't you say?

Paulownia.

[generalflirt]

So what you're saying is that there's a lot less pageantry to be had and a lot more private moments people sneak among the stone fortress we're in for now. I could dig it. Acha... though it does make me want to b creative.

Have you been bit by that bug?

-- Ah, that's a flower, isn't it? Even if it's not, that's another bit of my psychology, so!

Gardenia.

[wildcardpotential]

Yeah, I suppose that is exactly it. Romantic in its own way, I think. Creativity is key, especially if ur roommate isn't ur S.O.

Oh and wouldn't you like to know?

[Deflecting, or playing coy? You decide.]

It is! It was also the name of the mall I hung out at near home.

Corsage.

[generalflirt]

I would!! But I would never be presumptuous enough to think that I can demand that sort of thing out of someone else, so instead I'll just say that sort of creativity, those stolen moments...

Ah, maybe even more of the castle could he found for those sorts of things.

[ The name of a mall, huh? ]

Sounds a little more pretty than Sunshine City.

A Dance.

[wildcardpotential]

Very prudent of you.

I prefer to keep an air of mystery about myself with new acquaintances.

[OK she's absolutely just bullshitting him now.]

More of the castle is being taken back from the darkness every month or so, so that is possible. I'd worry about the safety of some of the newest rooms, but the point remains.

A mall is a mall, but I do have a lot of good memories there.

To Tango.

[generalflirt]

My heart's beating a little bit faster already . . . That level of mystery's something that you might call "intoxicating"

Do you want to join me for a dance in one of the newer rooms? That might have some danger to it.

A Date.

[miseris_socios]

Not until she's recovered.

[Did someone call for a cockblock?]

[generalflirt]

[ Ken, huh... That was the name which was attached to that entry about a girl recovering he saw, wanted to ask questions about, and thought better of...

... Hehehehe ]

Okay, so she can fall into my loving embrace the moment that she's free of the hospital, the first tender brushes that she has with romance in the bold new world of her recovery?! Aaaah, what a romantic image!! I'm swooning already!!

[miseris_socios]

Not so fast, Romeo.

If you flirt this easily, who's to say you won't flirt with other people if you become a thing? I won't let you break her heart like that.

[Friends don't let friends get hurt.]

[wildcardpotential]

[Okay she had a nice coy response lined up before. that happened. Wow. is this guy even real? She stares for a long moment. Long enough for Ken to respond.

What a fuss. It's sweet but also holy crap.]

Woah rein it in, boys. We all need to be allies here.

I'm flattered, really, but I can think of a few reasons we shouldn't tempt fate like that. How about a rain check? I'll save one dance for you next time Ozuma throws us a party, okay?

Seriously stay on your guard in the less secure areas. I don't want anyone getting hurt.

[generalflirt]

[ Aaaaaw, and he had a response to Ken all lined up. But nooooow. Now he's like ]

Oh, I can score a dance just for that?! I'm pretty sure that my heart's going to burst from that sort of loving touch! In fact, it could fill this player's heart up so full that there's no more room for me to even consider any other girl, given time...

Aaah...

But it's true, the tempting of fate might be a *bit* much, because after all, who better to resent someone being full than something as flat as a shadow? I'll have to be extra aware as long as my pulse is up.

[wildcardpotential]

[Eyeroll.]

Yes, but just a dance. So don't get too carried away, mister drama.

[generalflirt]

It's said that only fools rush in, and only lechers presume. Fortunately, I happen to just be a spry and savvy sort, so neither of them fit the bill!

Masaomi Kida, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ♥

[miseris_socios]

Uh huh. I'm Ken Amada.

[wildcardpotential]

Good to know that all of your floral language doesn't count as rushing in.

[Zing.]

Minako Arisato, and likewise.

Now if you boys promise to play nice, I'm going to go be unconscious for awhile. bye~

[generalflirt]

More like in the language of the flowers, Minako-chan. ♥

[ Now... will anyone connect the joke here is that he was implying the floral meaning for Gardenia towards her (or at least now claiming he was)? Will anyone even know what that is? The world may never know. ]

And it's nice to meet you too, Ken-kun.

[miseris_socios]

[Ken definitely doesn't know what it means.]

Minako-san and I come from similar worlds. Enough that we've met versions of each other, but that things are different between them. She's a friend of mine and I don't want to see her hurt.

If you do, there's going to be problems, okay?

[generalflirt]

Is that an assumption of malicious intent from me, Ken-kun?

[miseris_socios]

Just a friendly notice.

[generalflirt]

Well, I wouldn't want to get in y ♥ o ♥ u ♥ r way.

[miseris_socios]

Wha... it's not like that!

[generalflirt]

Jaracchcha~!! I think that reeks of denial!

[miseris_socios]

Besides, there's already someone I like so

[A few moments later:]

fuck
