Who: Apartment O + you? door is open
When: Day 32, evening
Where: Apartment O
What: family dinner...?

[There is a stew bubbling happily over the fire; leaf "platters" and shish-kebabs(? something-chunks on sticks), salad, a somewhat overcooked stirfry, and a gourd filled with fruit chunks in milky liquid are arranged on the kitchen counter.]

Okay, guys, get it while it's hot!

Yeah, but Ashikawa's probably a bigger threat. And it's totally not ridiculous! You are positively charming!

[liddellmisslost]

[fluster fluster]

Don't be silly, you're far more charming than I could ever be.

[ibedeadpeople]

I'm a lot of things, but charming isn't one of them. But you're the real deal! You should work it!

[liddellmisslost]

Of all the ridiculous things you've said so far this may well be the most ridiculous.

[ibedeadpeople]

Don't be silly, this is hardly in the top three. I'm gonna prove it!

[liddellmisslost]

Prove what?

[ibedeadpeople]

That you are attractive to dudes who like chicks!

[liddellmisslost]

What!? There's no need for that!

[ibedeadpeople]

You seemed to doubt it. So it sounded like there was a need to know.

[liddellmisslost]

I doubt it because it isn't true.

[ibedeadpeople]

...That was the most Oriony thing to say.

[liddellmisslost]

[:T]

Well, that is my team.

[ibedeadpeople]

That's true. But I hope you don't mind that I heard that in Ashikawa's voice and judged you a little bit.

[liddellmisslost]

Well, if it was just a little bit... I suppose I can let that pass.

[ibedeadpeople]

[grins] Yeah, just a little. It could be a lot worse.

We need to get you out more and wearing fewer pockets!

[liddellmisslost]

What does the number of pockets I wear have to do with anything?

[ibedeadpeople]

Nothing, really. It just seemed more fashionable that way.

[liddellmisslost]

But less useful...

[ibedeadpeople]

You get someone else to carry that part!

[liddellmisslost]

I'm not sure that trade-off is worth it...

[ibedeadpeople]

Fine then, keep the pockets... I guess if we had prettier ones, at least?

[liddellmisslost]

I will accept that compromise.

[ibedeadpeople]

[grins]

[liddellmisslost]

But--don't get any strange ideas--!

[ibedeadpeople]

Strange ideas? Me?
