34 ⁂ a modest proposal

[weaver_girl]

Dear everyone-

Well, not everyone, but anyway. I have an important request to make! There's something I need to investigate. If you could lend any assistance, it is for a good cause. And science, too, just so that the results are comprehensive.

I'd like to ask someone to go on a date with me, please.I'll pay for everything, of course, and it

Ooh! ♥ You didn't tell me you had a crush on

[Pause, while she goes back to reread this properly. Strikestrikestrike.]

Kage, wait a minute! You can't just throw yourself away on anybody, you know! A date has to be special!

[weaver_girl]

Oh no no, I wouldn't! I know that! I'm just asking for applicants, really.

[viva_la_materia]

What are you gonna do, interview them? Are you gonna write up a list of stuff they have to be able to do and check it off?

[A brief pause, while she actually considers that option.] You should probably add "help at the bar". And "be the nicest guy on the planet". Oh, and "not get killed by Axel" would also be good.

[weaver_girl]

Interviewing was considered, at least if they were people I didn't already know.

I don't think Axel would kill anyone. Maybe set them on fire a little. And tease them a lot.

[viva_la_materia]

A "little"? Yup, no way that could get outta control.

But how come you want to date somebody you don't know? It's not like you need a boyfriend, right? If you're lonely, you've got your family, and everybody at Smoke's, too!

[weaver_girl]

Oh no, I'm not really looking to date anyone on a more permanent basis. Not unless it works really well, anyway. And I know I have all of you, of course I do.
