№ 3 ~the Dating Sim meme~
"I must return to my people with the spoils of war, lay my bloodied sword at the feet of my great king,
and celebrate my conquest of all the lands from here to distant Macedonia!"
Congratulations, you're stuck in a dating sim. Hilarious text options pop up out of thin air after every question
and trigger phrase, and you can't feel creeped out by it. You better choose the right answers or...well you know what will happen.
♥Your character is the protagonist of their thread.♥
♥Each responding character will supply a list of two to four options for them to choose from.♥
♥???♥
♥Jam it in? ...or not. It's entirely up to you.♥
same here X3 let's pretend this is a cutscene or smth |Da
Wait. El Cid didn't just think that thought, right? No, he didn't.
Except that he totally did. But since nobody else knows, it's invalid, and thus it doesn't exist!
"There are athletic clubs around town you can take a look at. A few of them are within walking distance." As they speak, the waiter comes with the water and the entrées. "Do you also follow the Paris-Dakar rally?"
whoo! works for me o/
The waiter comes and goes, and Shura makes sure to keep himself out of the way as is only polite. No reason to make anyone's job more difficult than it already is-- plus, he knows well enough to be polite to people who serve your food. He nods at the waiter in a thank you, but doesn't pause in the conversation. There is just something that needs to be said, or well, asked-- "I have a list of the clubs, I just need to find time to go." Shura pauses for a briefest moment, before asking with a subtle smile, his tone playful, "Would you want to join me?"
----------
It appears Shura has once more grown comfortable enough to joke, to tease, previous awkwardness forgotten. Do you--
> Play along! But keep it all light hearted and friendly.
> Flirt! Really, how can you pass up a chance like this?
> Tease! Perhaps you liked seeing Shura flustered?
> Stonewall! Neither do the playful tones nor the implications do anything to you, simply answer the questions.
> Act awkward! Uh oh, what do now?
no subject
El Cid does not like toeing his boundaries when it comes to personal relationships. Flirting is not his type of approach; and teasing, while... encouraged by a certain colleague is not his not his strongest trait. He also likes Shura enough than to just give him a stone-faced reply.
After giving the waiter a polite nod and a word of thanks, he returns Shura's smile easily. "Of course, I would like that. I haven't been around the other clubs since I settled on one. When do you plan on going?"
----------
Looks like El Cid's company is in the bag! Nothing could go possibly wrong from now on, but that would perhaps depend on how you show enthusiasm~
> You're on fire! "Let's go tomorrow after work?"
> Be ~reasonable~ "How about this weekend?"
> Neither here nor there~ "Let's schedule something next week?"
> Meh. "I'll poke at my schedule and let you know."
VERY SIMPLE CHOICE THIS TIME
He might have suggested that in teasing, but that doesn't mean he isn't interested in the company. But at the same time he knows well enough not to appear too overeager. "This weekend? I still need to finish settling down at my new place," which is true enough. He still has some unpacking to do and a couple pieces of furniture to put together and move around.
Though there is one thing he wants to ask too, given El Cid's response to him. He asks with one hint of teasing, one hint of a smirk, "I take it your club doesn't offer fencing?"
----------
So it seems like Shura still needs to settle down at his new apartment. It's an opening for you! Do you want to include an offer to help him with that along with the rest of your reply?
> Yes. Offer to help.
> No. Don't offer to help.
that works~ /o/
Not offering is preposterous. In fact, why hasn't El Cid offered earlier?? Might be because they were busy with work -- which is very valid reason! The two take pride in what they do and work is work, while other things stay out as they work. The weekend proposal works in El Cid's favor as well as he foresees some overtime for the next day, if not for the rest of the week.
"This weekend works well." At the first question, El Cid shakes his head. "It doesn't. Though it does boast of facilities for Kendo and Kyuudo."
Despite the work forecast, El Cid still finds it at least correct to offer; and time can definitely be made should Shura accept, and he won't take it against the other man should he refuse. "Do you need any help in settling in, by the way?"
----------
How nice of your new colleague!
> Um... no?? Refuse
because who does El Cid think he is, your boyfriend?!-- you'll be fine~> Sure why not? It only means getting things done faster, then more time to do what ever else you want! /o/

"The work never stops with fencing," he comments idly, not at all surprised to hear that answer. The Japanese sports did tend to be more popular than fencing. "You always need to hunt down everything that has to do with it."
The offer to help surprises Shura slightly, but it would be a lie to say he isn't grateful for it. It should mean less sleepless nights during the work week and finishing faster. The prospect of not having to live on boxes for the next few months is a good one.
"That would be great, actually," and he immediately adds, "If you'd have time for it. This week is looking to be rather busy, as far as I could tell today," on his first day, yes, but he knows how to listen carefully and he pays attention to almost everything.

"I hope we'll be able to find a club you'll like."
As they speak, the rest of their meal arrives, along with the cava, which the waiter took the liberty of pouring the first servings into their glass. With a nod of thanks, El Cid picks up his glass and holds it out to his new work partner --
"Welcome aboard, Shura. To your health."
no subject
"Thank you," there's a brief pause here, the corner of his lips curling further into a subtle smirk, still friendly, just further amused, and he adds, "And to good partnership." As far as he's concerned? Said good partnership already started.
Only then does he take a good sip of the cava, and only with that done the conversation can continue as they eat.
