Mission 08

[aliensinyour]

[So boys and girls, it's pop quiz time! What do you do when your friend sees the dead bodies of her other friends and you come over there like the friend you are to smooth everything out? Despite how awkward and the wrong the timing is? To make a long story short, you ask that friend on a date

Comments

[Pity date or not, Taiga spent even longer than necessary getting ready and looks like a 12 year old kind of cute when she walks in. Of course, by the time she gets to the malt shop it's safe to say she's gone through every emotional extreme and is left... with her usual tsun face.

Instead of giving Kei some sort of rude welcome, she sits down and nudges his foot.]

Oi, stop staring off into space.

[aliensinyour]

---UWAH! [Kei jerks up and does a double take because now he feels a little pedo, but maybe that's his nervousness talking. He looks over to Taiga and wondering if this is the same Taiga he knows. It certainly sounded like Taiga!]

Um... Sorry... You look really nice, Taiga. [And he's blushing a bit. This is off to a great start!]

[tsuntiger]

[Such a lolicon! His comment catches her by surprise.]

D-don't think anything of it! They're clothes from home; I-I got sick of the 50s stuff!

[aliensinyour]

Heh... They're really nice. I think you should wear clothes like those more.

[Do you FEEL THAT, Kei? Do you feel it? That's the feeling of someone sitting in the booth directly behind you staring directly at the back of your head. Erika's got one elbow on the back of her seat just

staring

at the back of Kei's head.

Did either Kei or Taiga mention this date? Undoubtedly not. And yet. She is here and she knows what's going on.]

[aliensinyour]

[Kei just.... ever so slooooowly turns himself around and sees a pair of blue eyes staring back into his. Creeped out is one of the many ways to express his feelings right now.]

... Er... Do I know you from somewhere? I had this funny feeling you were watching me...

[sue_of_truth]

No, no, please do not mind me. I am curious, that is all, Kei.

[aliensinyour]

Y-You know my name?! W-wait just a second, we never even met!

[wondering_eye]

[Wow. That much apprehension would be enough to catch Satori's attention even if it wasn't someone she knew.

She's out walking one of her dogs, and as such she doesn't actually enter the shop. She does stop and stare through the window for a few moments, though, just to see if he notices.

The dog, meanwhile, has put both front paws on of the window and is panting like a moron.]

[aliensinyour]

[Kei hears the dog clawing at the window and that makes him takes a glance over!]

Oh! Hey there, Satori. [Waveees at the window.]

[wondering_eye]

[Satori waves back, pulling the dog away from the window and scolding it. She still doesn't enter the shop, not wanting to deal with this whole "No dogs allowed" bullcrap, but she does shoot him a questioning look, asking silently what's bothering him.]

[aliensinyour]

[Kei gives a silent sigh. Annnd perpare for mind conversation, WE ARE AWESOME LIKE THAT.]

(What's with that look? I'm just... A friend of mine gotten really shaken up over a Christmas and I'm doing this to make it for how crappy it was.)

[hwamei]

[ Sitting at the table behind him haha.

Gonna poke him because he's the nearest non-drone in the vicinity. ]

Hey, hey, have you seen Taiga?

[aliensinyour]

[Kei looks over to her and wondering how many friends Taiga has.]

Um, no... That's who I'm waiting for right now. Are you a friend of hers?

1/2

[hwamei]

Mm. I always meet her right here [ right here meaning this very spot ] and she takes my order and I tell her I want a milkshake. And ice cream. With sparkles!

She always takes my order. [ If she's not around, she just leaves... ]

Are you going to order something, too? Ah! She has to take my order first, 'cause I got here first.

[hwamei]

But why are you dressed so nice?
