[ACTION outside yo house]

[catpiper]

[Since the nice girl had seemed sick, Ren had decided early on to give Tokage one of the roses. She's a little nervous to be visiting, and isn't quite sure how to go about this either. She knocks on the door, then takes a step back in case someone scary answers and waits.]

sounds like MTV's Crib...

[boobytrapped]

( one of these days Tokage will be normal and actually pop out the door, for now, however, Ren will have to deal with him poking his head around the corner, eyes wide. )

Oh! Now you're someone I hadn't expected to see again. Hello, it looks like you're doing good.

I remember watching that show. The shame.

[catpiper]

[At least she isn't so jittery this time. It was easy enough to get used to Tokage after their first house encounter.]

Yes, I feel good.

[Though soon, she holds out a white rose that was held tightly in her hands. It seemed like something Tokage would like. Who doesn't like pretty flowers?]

This is for you. It's a pretty flower.

Holly Heights Crib could actually be hilarious WHO KNOWS

[boobytrapped]

Seen anything scary, so far?

( and it's obvious, how she's calmer now, and that has Tokage lose some of this own tension.

He walks closer but instead of putting his hands in his pocket he keeps them at his side )

Really? You came here to bring me a gift?

He's just gonna pretend nothing happened, OK? OK.

[kida]

[Every girl who responded to Masaomi's little pre-Valentine's broadcast (and a few others besides) will find a tiny little gift box in their mail today. Inside is a single fancy chocolate - and a simple note.]

Happy White Day!
~ Kida Masaomi

[That's right, ladies. Even if you don't love Masaomi, he still loves you!]

text; Okay!! more threads with Darling-you <3.

[boobytrapped]

We don't have the best record when it comes to presents ( `_)乂(_’ )

( the reply should come fast, even in message-form. Tokage had been considering doing this before, but had been really rather unsure. He'd seen Kida on the street before, maybe more than once, but had never really thought the time right )

text; woohoo~!

[kida]

[Masaomi's been unsure what to do, himself. He could have contacted Tokage sooner. Should have, maybe. Details of that day are a little hazy, but he's pretty sure he frightened her, or at least pissed her off. Maybe both. He doesn't like doing either of those things, especially to a girl.

But those roses were to blame, he's sure - and they've made him do a lot worse. (Don't even ask...) May as well try to fix things. And White Day is as good an excuse as any.]

It's not poisoned, I swear!

[He's only half joking... Another text follows soon after the first.]

Look, I'm sorry things were weird, with the roses. We should try it again sometime, no flowers involved!

[... Masaomi, you're trying to get out of buying her anything as well as being practical, aren't you?]

[boobytrapped]

I wasn't worried about it before you wrote that. . . did you try them yourself first? We should probably be more cautious from now on (￣◇￣;)

( being worried about magic isn't the same as being worried about poison, okay? okay. Still, he isn't actually frowning at the idea here, if anything, he is confused and trying to play this entire situation by ear. Not easy, that )

Isn't that too easy? that can't be how these things are supposed to go.

[kida]

No, didn't try them myself. But I got them at the store! Not from the landlord.

[Lesson learned: the landlord is one suspicious S.O.B.]

It's fine! The way I figure it, we both did some strange things.

But I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings or anything.

[boobytrapped]

Smart move. I don't think that I'll touch anything he leaves after this. Some of the things that happened were just too much!

I guess that's what it feels like to be drunk. I can't be sure, but I didn't feel in control at all. That was weird, right??

the landlord is a ho and we should all drown him in one of the pools y/< )

[kida]

[All the Y. 'Why' does the landlord do these things, and Y, he should be stopped.]

Seriously. Let's never do that again.

[All the negativity. There's a reason why Masaomi avoids it if he can.]

So how about it? Time for take 2?

[boobytrapped]

To think that his idea of utopia has people fight in such a way and. . . do other things, of course. You can just tell that he isn't human at all.

You're brave! Maybe I'm worried about something like this happening again?

( he isn't really shocked, if anything, he can go back to a blank slate easily enough, but this place certainly doesn't easy his paranoia down. Also, playing around a bit is always fun, right~ )

[kida]

Don't know about that. Humans can do plenty of nasty things too, yanno?

[It's anyone's guess why he's even taking her statement (mostly) seriously. Just playing along, probably.]

It'll be fine! No roses, no trouble, right?

[If the landlord cheated him out of a date, Masaomi may go homicidal on the guy yet.]

[boobytrapped]

( and, Oh, he agrees with this sentiment, he does, but it's not like he can tell you that humans, at least, aren't usually around long enough to get too dangerous. Maybe something like it? )

Humans are more limited at least. they can only do so many things for so long and they usually feel something. I don't know if that guy feels anything at all.

Will you take care of the drinks then? Or we could get ice cream...

[Voice]

[kida]

Hello, beautiful! I know you must be busy being your usual charming self, but... could I ask you a favor?

[Voice]

[boobytrapped]

That sounds like you're going to ask for a lot. But you're welcome to try and work me around.

[Voice]

[kida]

It's not that bad, I swear!

The thing is, my best friend is in the date auction, and... let's just say his qualities are entirely on the inside.

I don't want him to feel like nobody wants him. Could you bid on him for me? Any amount is fine - I'll pay you back!

[Voice] I missed his particular brand of dorkness /CHINHANDS

[boobytrapped]

Are your saying that your intentions are pure? Ah, boo.

You make him sound hideous ( and - he's laughing, very very rudely? oops )

Oh, I see. Do you think I've seen him? I've agreed to go along with that as well after all.

[Voice] It grows on a person.

[kida]

There's no purer goal than the goal of love!

He's not hideous, just... [How can you describe Mikado?] Mikado.

You're for sale as well? Don't tempt me! Even if my heart would survive, my wallet would never recover.

[Voice] grows and then continues to try and hybird with you

[boobytrapped]

Ah, you two have a strong bond tying you together.

( wilful misunderstanding??? never ) Mikado? That doesn't tell me a lot. Is he anything like you at all?

Maybe you're operating under the assumption that I would not turn you down, auction or no auction?

[Voice] It's a commensal relationship, though. XD

[kida]

Of course. He's my best friend.

Well... We grew up in the same place. That's where the similarities end, though. Let's see... He's a little shorter than me. Short, black hair... Looks about twelve years old. But he's a good one, you know? A really good guy. The only problem is, he's hardly ever gone out with girls, as far as I know...

Turn me down?! Why would you do a thing like that? We had a good time before, didn't we? Or are you just afraid because this would be our third date?

feel free to ignore my dorky super late backtag!!

[boobytrapped]

I don't think I've ever had something like that. A best friend. Share him with me?

( gesturing with the hand holding the hashi is rude, but, sadly, it's also very typical for him. at least it's calm gesticulating and not, you know, outright stabbing ) I guess it won't be a hardship to go out with him then. Still, you're sure that he'll be able to open his mouth and keep the conversation going?

The third-? Should this tell me something, Masaomi?

Never!

[kida]

Ahhh... You may have to help him a little with the conversation part.

[Masaomi could lie about it, but he's a little concerned about the impression Mikado is going to make. If Masaomi praises him too much, Mikado is never going to meet Tokage's expectations. She's a Real Woman, after all - and one who likes Masaomi. Not the same type at all.]

That's what they all say in the movies... [At least: in the movies here. It doesn't stop Masaomi's voice from being almost painfully smug.] After the third date, you do more than just kiss the lady goodnight.

I AM BEING SPOILT and way too pleased about that <3

[boobytrapped]

It really is quiet people for you, huh? Who'd have thought, looking at he way you talk.

( the look Kida gets, here, is probably puzzling and a bit intense. It isn't that he doesn't play high-school boy convincingly, it's just

that Tokage has no experience with that kind of person. Or not a lot, in any case. A friend who both bullies and cares? He'll chew on that one )

That doesn't work for us though. Unless you've already changed your mind?

forwarded text (1 scary way 2 break up);

[wingsit]

DO NOT stop reading this or something bad will happen!!!!!1!!

one day, sarah was walking home from school when her boyfriend drove by and honked at her to get in. she got in his car and he drove her to the lake. her boyfriend said he was going to tell her something very important.

sarah could have sworn he was going to propose. however he flipped her off pushed her in the lake and yelled, “I am breaking up with you, you awful ********!! I hate you and I think that maybe you should just end your ********* life! DUMB *******!!!”

he laughed and drove off. it was winter. sarah floated there in the water freezing cold and felt the worst she had her entire life. shivering she decided that she didn’t want to ever have her heart ever broken like that again. she slipped under the lake’s surface never to be seen in living flesh again.

her parents cried. her mom went insane and killed herself three days later. her dad is in prison accused of murder.

later that week sarah’s ex-boyfriend was taking a shower when she reached from the drain, rotting and bloody. “7 days.” she whispered and her breath smelled like a pond of dead fish. 7 days later she dragged him down into the drain back to the lake. he slipped into the water never to be seen in living flesh again.

if you do not copy this and forward this to 30 ppl with the title “1 scary way 2 break up” you are a heartless ******.

sarah the pond monster will come to you from drains, and on the 7th day will kill you the same way she’s killed everyone else. the pond monster isn't lonely or anything. it's just that 24 ppl have broken this chain and died.

you have 13 minutes
