[the way I had to give Kia LORE before replying to this]

Since nobody really knows how they're determining matches, then. . . I guess I'm picking based on how comfortable people make me.

Which means my options would be Ieiri-san, Odile-san, and you, Maya.

Please don't take this the wrong way, because I'm really happy that you're comfortable around me!! [ She is! She's touched. ]

... But we really have to get you used to more people, just in case.

[MAYA. . .]

. . . I'm not a dog who needs to be socialized!!

[is he, tho]
scooptimistic: (Good news we're still alive!)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-06 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not saying you are! I just want you to feel more comfortable with the group!

[. . . oh. eases up a bit at the clarification]

That's not what I meant by "comfortable". . . I wouldn't say I'm uncomfortable with the group or anything. It's more like--

You know when you're on a date with someone, and you're super nervous about it, but then the conversation goes so smoothly and easily that you forget you were ever nervous at all?

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-06-06 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[nodnods!!]

That kind of comfort.
scooptimistic: (Heavens to Murgatroyd!)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhhh! Okay, so like. Date-level feeling of ease!

Okay, that's less concerning.

[ WHEW. He's fine. ]
ordimame: (34)

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-06-07 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! That!

[he thought it was obvious what he meant since. . . dating show. . . but at the same time, he did have his brain scrambled this week so her confusion is valid]

But I have thought about who I'd pick from other angles, too.
scooptimistic: (That actually looks concerning)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Did that give you a few more options?
ordimame: (37)

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-06-08 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
As I told Ieiri-san, if I choose "someone who is the opposite of me," then I'd pick Ringo-san, Messmer-san, Shindou-san, La Roux-san or Luka-san.

[he rolls his shoulders back in a shrug]

Maybe I'll do that one week, but not this time.

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-08 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, hopefully by that point, we'll have narrowed it down a little more.

[ Positive! Thinking!! ]
ordimame: (71)

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-06-08 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I think we will, just by process of elimination.

... You aren't terrible company either.

[. . . pfffft. just gives her a lopsided, amused smile]

Come now, Odile-san. You can do better than that.

[ Mame-chan... 🥹 ]

My, my. Lucky me.

[ Genuine, even if delivered in her usual... calm tone. ]

I think that's a good foundation for picking.

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-06-06 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . . pulls up a smile!]

T-- thanks. I've looked at it from a few different angles, too. But this is the one I plan on going with this week.
irreversal: 🚬 big (081)

[personal profile] irreversal 2025-06-06 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She offers a smile of her own in turn, with her lips curling just slightly. ]

Hmm? What other angles? I'm curious.
ordimame: (101)

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-06-06 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
If I think about the people who are the most opposite of me so far. . . then my choices might be La Roux-san, or Ringo-san, or Luka-san, or Shindou-san, or Messmer-san.

[he has thought about this from a perspective other than "who makes me feel the warm fuzzies," he promises]
irreversal: 🚬 big (151)

[personal profile] irreversal 2025-06-07 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ for a second she has to remind herself who tf La Roux-san is ]

Hoh... They're pretty popular picks, too. Any other categories you were thinking about? How about... "Someone who has the same interests as me"? I've heard that one used today.
ordimame: (98)

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-06-07 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[I'M SORRY HE NEEDS TO GET OVER THIS ASAP SO I CAN STOP TYPING LA ROUX-SAN]

Someone with the same interests?

. . . Verso-san.
irreversal: 🚬 big (078)

[personal profile] irreversal 2025-06-07 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... woah. ]

...That guy really is popular, huh. Just what is it you two are interested in, then?
ordimame: (36)

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-06-10 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[simply]

He likes trains, and I used to work on airplanes as a mechanic. [those are not THE SAME THING] Niche hobbies?
irreversal: 🚬 big (94)

[personal profile] irreversal 2025-06-10 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ no they are nOT!! ]

...Wait a minute. That's kind of a stretch, Mame-chan. You're not just making that up because you're really interested in Verso-san, are you?
ordimame: (70)

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-06-10 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[HELP]

Why would I make things up?? Seriously!! If interest in niche hobbies isn't enough, we're both travelers.
