Anata no Ichiban ni Naritai

[Spring break has come, and everyone is still being an idiot about that stupid dance.  How is Ruri reacting?]

Action 1  Around town

[For most of the week, shortly before the neighbors start throwing furniture at each other but after sunrise Ruri heads outside her home at 2242 Stevens Road and waters a patch of dirt by the front fence, then takes a walk to the park and sits by the pond reading till about 10.  However, normally she would nod to people, now she's just sort of staring at the ground as she does so.  Feel like stopping her?  Go ahead]

Action 2  Cosplay Cafe

[Ruri always shows up to work early, gets changed and tends to open her shift by sweeping the sidewalk in her maid outfit, after a little while though, especially if its slow, she'll be seen in the back, a 24' holographic screen hovering in front of her, with either an anime on, or playing a video game.  Mind you, if a customer shows up she'll be up and handle them quickly, but its all in her usual deadpan]

Phone  No Filters

"I have a question, maybe the wizards would know, maybe people who know more about men.  My town approved brother, he spends 6...  7....  Sometimes 8 hours in the basement...  'Keeping his snake happy.'  Is this normal for 16 year old wizard boys because it seems a little odd to me.  That being said, I don't know a thing about magic, but some of the odd noises from down there.  I guess this is why he made everyone agree to not go in the basement."

Oh. I guess I can see why.

[She nods a little]

"So... Do you have any suggestions for something fun?"

[biophases.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess outdoor activities are pretty out! But I'm sure I can think of something. Oh! Are you going to the prom?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"No one asked me as of yet."

[biophases.livejournal.com]

Hmm, me neither. But I don't see why that should stop us.

"I.... I'm not terribly keen on spending everything I've made working on a dress to basically stand in the corner all night. I can do that at home in a dress I already have."

[biophases.livejournal.com]

Well, do you need a date to dance? Would that be frowned upon?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Most dances at these things aren't things you can do alone, from what I've been told."

[biophases.livejournal.com]

Oh. That's a bit disappointing.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Then again, half a dozen people are telling me to go alone, so either that data is incorrect, or misery loves company. I really don't know."

[biophases.livejournal.com]

Well, nothing is every really normal, here! So maybe we can just make our own rules.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I guess there is that. No one has asked you to go though?"

[biophases.livejournal.com]

Oh! Well, no. But I wouldn't want to go with just anyone...

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Who would you want to go with?"

[biophases.livejournal.com]

It's not important! I mean, he's probably not going at all, so.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Who?"

[She blinks]

"Maybe I could find out."

[biophases.livejournal.com]

It's not important, Ruri! Really.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Well, if you want him to ask you... I've found that a lot of boys are kind of idiots sometimes."

[biophases.livejournal.com]

I think it's a bit more complicated than that, honestly.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"How so? I don't really get adult things like this, but, I'm good at data analysis. Maybe I can help from a logic viewpoint."

[biophases.livejournal.com]

Well, I think it's just that he doesn't think much of stuff like this. He's very single-minded.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Oh... Well, maybe you should ask him anyways?"

[biophases.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I'll have to think about it.

[She nods a bit]
