Accidental Video!

[suddenly the device turned on, and it seemed as though it had fallen over and suddenly turned on. what could be seen was an upward angle of ryuji, standing in front of his mirror. he was just staring at him, humming as he turned his head to look at himself from different angles. he brought a hand up and moved it through his hair, fussing with it as he grabbed at the spikes and began to pull on the ends of them.]

Gotta dye it again... [he muttered to himself. ryuji had begun to dye his hair because he wanted to rebel against a few certain shitty adults, but he's kept it since he really does like it. but...]

Should I change my hair? Maybe like... [he ran some water from the tap, and he went and dunked his face in the sink. he slicked his hair back, now looking at himself in the mirror again with his weird slicked back hair.]

Geehh.... no way man, no way! [bad idea! he messed it up again. he paused and looked down at himself as well.] I should at least get some new clothes-... or somethin'.

[man this was hard. ryuji shook his head before he... noticed his device was suddenly on. he glanced over to it, flinching.] Oh shit! [he then grabbed it and turned it off, but of course the video had already posted to the network.]

Text; Locked from Mimi

[sometime later he decided to at least send out a text on the subject.] Yo everyone! I got a couple of questions.

Okay. So. Dating.... what kinda stuff should you do on a date? And what should I wear, or how should I have my hair?

Uhh.... it's a casual date. I think? I dunno really! This shit is really effing hard you guys. I've never been more nervous in my life- not even writing shitty exams comes close to this! So yeah... thanks in advance. [help a guy out...]

[ presenting: not your first choice for advice. ]

Dark roots can look quite dashing on some people. I wouldn't worry about dying it again just yet.

[dude...]

Dude.

I may not know shit, but I do know that DOESN'T look good. Are you just here to be a little bitch?

text;

[misalignment]

Oh, I see. You're one of the ones that can't pull it off then.

I thought I might add some suggestions.

[beguiledcard]

[ Haha him and experience with romantic dating..........

BUT HE'LL TRY FOR YOU, RYUJI. Also you owe him details on how this happened in the first place. ]

Any idea of what kinds of things they like?

And where are you guys going? That helps with figuring out what to wear.





Your hair is fine the way it is.

[effinskull]

[listen. he doesn't even know how it happened either...]

Uh. I don't really know what she likes yet we literally.... just met. And then she asked me out? Yeah. It happened pretty fast I still can't even believe it.

We're going to this V-day Festival, and I'll be meeting up with her friends... so I'm kinda jumping right into this you know what I mean!

....thanks man. I guess I was just overthinking my hair.

text;

[beguiledcard]

She's already asked you out, so she already likes the Ryuji she's getting to know.

According to some books I've read, girls like to be told they look beautiful. Maybe open doors for her?

If you want to go a little further with it, I can give suggestions on flowers to give her.

Video!

[sincerepurity]

Nice look with the slicked hair~

[She's giggling, obviously teasing.]

Video!

[effinskull]

[NO?! SHE SAW?!]

Oh eff me!!

[and he's down. literally. he just ducks and is out of sight in the video. yeah he's way too embarrassed.]

Video

[sincerepurity]

Aww come back! [Now she's laughing.]

Ryuji-senpaiiiiiiii~

And I think your hair looks good! I was thinking of dying mine pink- or maybe streaks. [Oh... well now she's thinking about it.]

[Takeru even though he still feels like shit and is currently confined to bed, still cannot help but do this. But as much as he would love to do it via video, he can't because no one wants to see that.]

Pro tips on Mimi because you'll need them:

1) Hair doesn't matter.
2) Her fashion sense is on point. So if you pick something that clashes she might point it out.
3) She has a favorite kind of everything, so if you for some reason haven't thought to ask about those at least, good luck figuring it out unless you want to owe me.
4) Since she likes you for who you are so just don't try and act like something your not.
5) I don't get why you're so nervous. Mimi is just a simple girl who is the most honest and possibly the strangest girl I've never met.

[effinskull]

[oh it's the weird dude that tried to talk about mimi's secret life or whatever.]

1) ok
2) Shit. Okay. Gotta get my clothes together properly in that case
3) WHAT?! I wanna know what those are!
4) ....ok, I won't
5) I've never even had a girl INTERESTED in me so I'm just hella nervous

text;

[hopeschild]

2) Pretty much or be forever teased by her about it.
3) Well, I can start with favorite food or at least one of them. Any savory item with whip cream and jellybeans. It was mostly Sora's cooking, but I never really asked what exactly it was she had the whip cream and jellybeans on exactly... To note you'll find out her taste in food is not that of your usual girl and you might be expected to eat it. So have fun with that if it isn't to your tastes.
5) You shouldn't. It's those nerves that might end up screwing it all up. So take a deep breath right now.

I feel like I need to add this point

6) Because of this, you have kind of helped me out. Since originally Mimi, myself and Hikari were all meant to be going to that festival together as friends. Since she now has a date I might not have to go since you know, that festival is a couples thing and Hikari and myself are friends, we would probably be in the way. So I'll see if Hikari wants to do something else or go later just out of curiosity.

But I do have one rule for doing this. No hickeys.

voice-to-text; also icon description is all for you ryuji <3~

[lecateleur]

Ryuji, I've seen your exam scores...







...are you sure you're ready for this?

text; wow rude??

[effinskull]

Exams ain't anything like this! Don't you even start Morgana!

text;

[lecateleur]

Still, a lot could hang on you providing the right answer. I'm just worried about you flunking out on this too, is all. Perhaps a group study session -- er, pre-date practice meeting might prove of some benefit to you?
Though, it is a pity Lady Ann isn't here; I'm sure she could give you some good pointers if she were...

text;

[gamerrep]

Nothing. I mean I've never been on a date but I would think if you are going on one, try just seeing what happens and let it be natural.

text;

[effinskull]

I mean, yeah I've heard that before but... what if that doesn't work?!

text;

[gamerrep]

Are you not good at being spontanious or something?

Text;

[alihacka]

[Guess who saw that accidental video. But she won't say anything about it up until the text.]

Oh~ Ryuji actually has a date? I never thought that would happen. [She's teasing him, obviously.] I think your hair is fine as it is. Just be yourself and maybe dress nicer than you normally do.

[She doesn't have much advice to give since she doesn't know much about dating herself.]

Text;

[effinskull]

HELL YEAH I got a date! You jealous Futaba?
You should be, she's a really great girl!

And shut up, it was bound to happen sooner or later! I got some good charm!

I thought so... but is how I usually dress really that bad?

Text;

[alihacka]

No, because I don't need anything like that. I'm content on my own. Like I said before, you have no charm going for you as far as attraction goes. Just wait until she sees who you really are. [He's not actually that bad.]

Not really. What I mean is maybe dress up more for the occasion. It is a date after all.

Text;

[heroes_never_die]

It really just depends on what you and your date are interested in. Take your individual, or better yet mutuel, hobbies and find out ideas from that. Movies are always a nice idea though, besides dinner.

As far as how to dress, I don't go on too many dates due to being busy with work, but when I go on a date, I treat it as one. Even if it's a casual date, I won't dress up as much as I would a formal date, but a little nicer than usual. What would look like it could be casual yet more formal to be a good mid-ground, I suppose.

Dates are a little hard to deal with sometimes, but I'm sure you'll be fine if you just be yourself and take your date into consideration of what you do. More importantly, enjoy yourself and have some fun.

Text;

[effinskull]

Thing is, I don't know what mutual hobbies we even have yet. I just kinda met her, and we still gotta even get a chance to know each other more.

A middle ground... okay, gotcha!

I just hope she likes my usual self- so far it's been pretty good but... yeah, alright!
I'll just be myself!

Text;

[blackrosesred]

Even if it's a casual date, you should wear something a bit nicer than everyday. I would say one of the most important things for a date is to make your date feel like they're special.

Flowers are rarely a bad idea. A pink rosebud means new love and rose meanings are fairly well-known if you prefer an immediate message. It's rather more obscure, but Sweet Alyssum means 'Worth beyond beauty' which is certainly something I would appreciate a prospect seeing in me.

Where are you going for the date?

Text;

[effinskull]

A bit nicer, got it! I wanna make her feel speciak, for sure.

Whoa.... how do you know about flowers and shit like that? That's pretty cool!

Uh, the V-day festival, thing.
