In which Naoto goes on a date with Zelman to get him off her case. Takes place December 1st at 10 PM. /o/
Naoto: *lol parked outside her cave and looking up at the sky* .... Why am I doing this again?
Zelman: *8D because Zelman's hot, that's why--* Talking to yourself?
Naoto: --! *aslkdslkd you ninja DX* More like thinking out loud.
Zelman: *o/ VAMPIRE ninja* What about?
Naoto: How insane I must be.
Zelman: You seem pretty sane to me. Moreso than the rest of the island, anyway.
Naoto: *very small snort* That's not saying much, you know.
Zelman: I'd like to think there are a small percentage of us on the island who are indeed so sane, we nearly balance out those lacking.
Naoto: That's a surprising amount of optimism coming from you. *getting to her feet*
Zelman: *shrugs* It's more to comfort my own fears that I've been stranded with a bunch of morons. It's fun to play with them for a while, but eventually it just gets boring.
Naoto: .... *orz why do you sound so much like the Master*
Zelman: *b-because they're both bad guys? D:*
Naoto: *i-is it too late to go back inside? D:*
Zelman: *yes. yes it is*
Naoto: ... .... *sigh* We've established that I'm no one's toy, right?
Zelman: *Nods* Several times, in fact.
Naoto: And do you actually believe that or are you just humoring me? *dryyyy*
Zelman: Maybe a bit of both. *Grin*
Naoto: .... *rubbing forehead* That doesn't really surprise me.
Zelman: In all seriousness, using you for my own amusement probably wouldn't win me any favors. I try to avoid things that have an unfavorable outcome.
Naoto: How very wise of you. *o-only does that about half the time ahaha*
Zelman: It's more out of boredom than being wise. *chuckles*
Naoto: Either way, I appreciate it.
Zelman: Then I'll continue to treat you as I am now~ Are you ready to go?
Naoto: *tilting her head towards the entrance to listen for any duckling peeps, but they're all asleep, so--* .... Yeah.
Zelman: *kjshfkjasfk awwww ;A;* Do you have anywhere in particular you'd like to go?
Naoto: *s-shut up, you saw nothing* Not really. It's not like I do this often.
Zelman: I don't doubt that in the least. *looks amused and nods his head* Come on.
Naoto: .... *obediently following and still inwardly wondering if she'll regret this later ahaha*
Zelman: *XD hey, he's going to be a behaved date and not snack on her and everything gd it*
Naoto: *as snacking on her would get you a boot to the face and stabbed and lots of other things once she recovered, t-that's probably a good idea*
Zelman: *how is leading her to the beach? D: is that okay*
Naoto: *that is perfectly a-okay!*
Zelman: */o/ excellent* The ocean's nice at night, hmm?
Naoto: *uwaaaah sea breeze* It is. And it's also quieter at night.
Zelman: Mm. One of the perks of being a vampire is that you're able to get a lot of solitude since I can barely keep my eyes open during the day.
Naoto: .... Well, I'm no vampire, but I like this time of day better, anyway.
Zelman: Time of night, actually.
Naoto: You know what I mean. *typical drywall expression*
Zelman: *can't help but smirk and ignore that* Do you like fireworks, Naoto?
Naoto: *blink* I wouldn't know. I've never seen any.
Zelman: *Bliiiink* Never?
Naoto: *looking faintly embarrassed* It's not something you typically saw back home... and if it's happened here, I must have missed it.
Zelman: I don't think it has, yet. But if you'd like I can show you some.
Naoto: ....? *okay, that's getting you a curious glance*
Zelman: *lips tilt a bit in amusement, before he turns to look skywards and uses eye ignite to make some EPIC fireworks start happening*
Naoto: *ahaha, giving a slight start-- DID NOT EXPECT THAT* ...! *b-but oh god so pretty*
Zelman: *xD oh, you're so cute~~ he's casting you a sidelong glance, before turning his attention back to the sky and really shamelessly showing off his ability to make fireworks with eye ignite /o/*
Naoto: *aaaand temporarily forgetting to keep up the drywall, she's just gazing up at the fireworks now*
Zelman: *VERY MUCH WORTH IT IF NAOTO'S NOT DRYWALLING *A*b *
Naoto: *TEMPORARILY. TEMPORARIIIIIILY.*
Zelman: *EPICALLY WORTH IT, JSYK*
Naoto: *ORZ THAT MIGHT BE A SMILE WITHOUT HER EVEN REALIZING IT ALSL;D;LSD*
Zelman: *LKSAJFAKJSF VICTOLY ASKJDKASFA*
Naoto: *KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE SKY, DAMN YOU*
Zelman: *NEVAR*
Naoto: They're beautiful... *g-give her a moment*
Zelman: I'm glad you like them. *n-no D: must see smiling Naoto forever*
Naoto: *finally looking over at you lolz* ... Thanks.
Zelman: *shrugs* Everyone deserves to see fireworks at least once in their life.
Naoto: What everyone deserves and what actually happens are two very different things.
Zelman: Details~
Naoto: You did it, too. *so there :<*
Zelman: *>: fine then*
Naoto: *winz*
Zelman: *stfu D:* Regardless, I'm glad you seemed to enjoy them.
Naoto: It's a nice use of your ability. *as opposed to your other ones aha D:*
Zelman: I'm glad you approve. Fireworks aren't the easiest thing in the world to use Eye Ignite for.
Naoto: You didn't have to, you know.
Zelman: I know. Doesn't mean I didn't want to, though. Besides~ It's a date. I'm supposed to impress you on some level, aren't I?
Naoto: .... Oh, is THAT what you do on dates? *she does drywall so well*
Zelman: Hey now~ We had a nice mood going just a second ago. Don't get so cold on me already...
Naoto: It's in my nature, sorry.
Zelman: It's also in your nature to be motherly, you know.
Naoto: *sdlkfklgdlkflkdkl* It is NOT.
Zelman: You're looking after baby ducklings.
Naoto: They followed me and I don't eat baby ducks.
Zelman: I saw you look back to check on them before we left.
Naoto: ........
Zelman: *looks faintly amused~* That seemed motherly to me.
Naoto: It wasn't. I just wanted to make sure they wouldn't make too much noise.
Zelman: *j-just kind of grinning at you in an 'you know that's bull' sort of way*
Naoto: *just kind of looking back in a 'stfu it's a valid reason' sort of way*
Zelman: Maternal instincts aren't that bad Naoto~
Naoto: I never said they were bad. They're just unwanted.
Zelman: Why~?
Naoto: What use are they? They'd only serve as a distraction.
Zelman: They keep animals in the wild from killing off their own before they have a chance to carry on the species~
Naoto: ... Ever thought I don't really WANT to carry on the species?
Zelman: That was an example. It wasn't meant to imply you ought to give birth.
Naoto: ...... *facepaaaaaalm* The point BEING I don't need them.
Zelman: It kept those ducklings alive, didn't it~?
Naoto: No, Ky falling in love with them kept them alive.
Zelman: The fact that you wouldn't relinquish one until you could be sure I wouldn't eat it was definitely proof that Ky fell in love with them then, hmm?
Naoto: You try living with the guy and see what would have happened if I'd let you.
Zelman: No thanks~ I can only take so much religion in one lifetime.
Naoto: I can only imagine.
Zelman: Does he pray?
Naoto: Yes.
Zelman: *c-can't help but snort* I feel bad for you~
Naoto: It could be worse. *s-shut up :<*
Zelman: Worse how~?
Naoto: He could try to convert the entire island.
Zelman: Oh, we'd burn him at the stake before then; don't worry.
Naoto: *dryly* How comforting.
Zelman: Anything that religious is a danger to the island~
Naoto: Oh yeah, and the serial killers and vampires and immortals aren't a danger at all. *is she reeking sarcasm, I think so.*
Zelman: *D: hey now~* I'm mostly harmless~ I behave out of boredom.
Naoto: Yes, well. *looking out across the ocean* Boredom can be deadly.
