[ Word? ]

Oh? The generosity's much appreciated. I'm afraid I had to surrender all of those when we entered the house, but I'll have to remember to give you one before we part ways, eventually.

[ Also, vanishing his stupid magic rock with a little flick of the wrist. ]
scooptimistic: (Let's victory thinking!)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-06 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! If you don't remember, I will, don't worry.

[ For the magazine!! ]

Every trustworthy, Amano-san! I know I can count on you.

[ That said ... another lil sip as he looks over the rest of the room. ]

On that note -- I don't suppose you have any objections or advice regarding my selections.
scooptimistic: (Who WAS that masked man?)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Mm... no objections. And I'm not sure what kind of advice you're looking for. Like who should you prioritize, or...?

[ Maya who cannot even realize when someone is crushing on her-- ]

[ Oh yeah, not any actual emotions. Haha. Imagine any of that happening. ]

Correct. I'm still operating under the assumption here that drama and optics are a high priority for these pairings. 'Drama is just as important as true feelings,' I believe was the gist of what Mr. Nico said. And while the failure of our attempt at the Truth Booth doesn't necessarily mean this assumption was wrong ... it isn't very reassuring, either.

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Well.

Logical thoughts aside, are you actually romantically interested in any of the ones you just mentioned? Like. Even the tiniest bit.

[ Hop to it. ]
phenomerom: (046)

[personal profile] phenomerom 2025-06-07 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ Gonna take. A big gulp of his shochu. ]

I can't say I think about things from that angle very often. Maybe something else? Perhaps -- how important do you think aesthetics and visuals might be? Whether the producers might prefer like with like in that regard, or high contrast.

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
...

You wanna finish your drink and let the alcohol hit and then I'll just ask you again?
phenomerom: (030)

[personal profile] phenomerom 2025-06-07 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ A wan laugh. ]

You'll be waiting quite a while, Amano-san. I don't get drunk. Perhaps working around purifying sake from a young age did something to my tolerance levels. Ah -- though, perhaps it was rude of me not to offer. Would you like a glass as well? It's quite good.
scooptimistic: (Now you're thinking with portals!)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
I won't say no! And I have nothing to be slippery about.

[ And also she doesn't really tend to get drunk. ]
phenomerom: (003)

[personal profile] phenomerom 2025-06-07 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Can't believe the nice shochu is going to waste on these two weirdos who won't even get drunk off it ... ]

Excellent. If you'll give me a moment, then.

[ handwaves that they were standing near the kitchen so he can step around the counter to fetch another glass. And as he's rustling up some ice cubes for her: ]

And I'm not being slippery, to be clear. I simply think the other possibility I raised is more likely to be helpful. What do you think? Aesthetics.
scooptimistic: (Who WAS that masked man?)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Aesthetics...

... I do think you and Shoko would match pretty well.

[ Hmmmmmmm. ]
phenomerom: (026)

[personal profile] phenomerom 2025-06-07 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? [ A curious glance up from where he's fetching the shochu bottle. ] I hadn't expected that. In terms of aesthetics, my selections would have been ... hm.

[ A pause before he pops the bottle open. ]

Mr. Luka or Miss Yingying. [ For opposites. ] Or perhaps Mr. Yi Sang or Lord Messmer.

[ ....... sorry guys. Hope you don't mind he is bundling himself with you Freaks as like with like. ]
scooptimistic: (LET'S POSITIVE THINKING)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Entirely possible, but I was considering it among who you already listed.

Or! Me!

[ Gestures.

Grandly. ]

[personal profile] phenomerom 2025-06-07 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ ??????????????

Still holding the bottle and stopper up. ]


I would certainly be honored to be considered a match for you, Amano-san, but ... in terms of aesthetics?
scooptimistic: ... it really was the cat (The CAT)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'd probably dress as comfy-looking as you if my roommate hadn't threatened me with death.

[ Comfy ............... His sense of style has been called a lot of things by a lot of people, but 'comfy' is a new one. After pondering for a moment more, he finally pours a generous glug of shochu in the new glass before offering to her. ]

If you'd like to borrow one of my jackets, you're welcome to at any time. I brought a few.
scooptimistic: (By all means do let me fuck him up)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ She accepts it with a grateful nod, taking a healthy swig before responding-- ]

I'd love to! Mine gets so constricting at times.
phenomerom: (016)

[personal profile] phenomerom 2025-06-07 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
With pleasure! Just let me know tomorrow morning sometime and I'll let you pick whichever one you like.

[ Said as he also pours himself a generous extra helping of shochu. He might not get drunk-drunk, but he does sorta need it to prepare himself for tomorrow. Sigh. ]
scooptimistic: (I guess it's time for the ponder pose)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
I feel like I should let you borrow something in return, or. You know. Equivalent exchange, but...

[ Not much comes to mind. ]
phenomerom: (038)

[personal profile] phenomerom 2025-06-07 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't worry about it, Amano-san. I'm just happy to have someone appreciate my taste in clothes. And besides ... [ the clink of ice as he swirls his glass a bit ] -- this conversations given me plenty to think about. It's been helpful.
scooptimistic: (How nice the kids are being gay)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'm happy I helped! We kind of hit a lot of different things.

[ But she believes in him. ]
