Audio | un: lightningblossom4 | Backdated to right after March's Magic Fair

[roseeclair]

[SO. That was a fun night. Really fun. Really nice and exciting and the flower pools were refreshing- if trippy- and the magic fair was fun.

So shortly afterwards, when people have gone home for the evening, maybe wanted to settle down... you'll hear a tomato-red girl taking a deep breath before the audio begins.]

Hey, guys! So um... say you... know someone who's never really been on a date before. And got asked on one. What kind of advice would you give?

[PS: funny thing is that the 90s girl is still new to smart phones. Including setting post filters. Which means she sent this to the whole island instead of just her friends. The whole island including the boy that asked her out. *Whoops~*]

[Cue Yang appearing on-screen, grinning from ear-to-ear.]

You got asked out, Mako?! That's great! Oh, where do I even begin?!

The first thing you gotta know though is to be yourself! They'll see right through you if you're not sincere!

Video

[roseeclair]

[A sheepish laugh from the tomato red girl finally turning on the camera.]

Y-yeah, I can do that. Probably would do that eventually anyway... I'm a pretty bad liar.

[As evidenced by the paper-thin hypothetical, totally asking for a friend guys framing for the post.

[ After a brief moment of audible gasping, Yuzu's response is immediate. ]

Mako did you get asked out!? Oh my gosh!

[ ...she didn't realize that she herself would get this excited about this. ]

Video

[roseeclair]

I-I uh, yeah... There's this guy... Naoto-kun?

[God, she can barely get that many words out between stammering and nervous laughing. Girl's excited!]

[ Fenton is racking his brain trying to think of something helpful to offer. Because his own dating experience was limited, and while he had enjoyed his own first date, he knows that it probably wasn’t a really typical date at all.

As he’s thinking though, he’s considering the post. Then he hesitates. ]

...is...this a public post?

Video (1/2)

[roseeclair]

What?

[A blink... and then an amused laugh, aww, did he really think she'd not include him on this?]

No, I set this to all my friends, but--

2/2

[roseeclair]

[And then her eyes flick to the filters. And what they're really set to. "Public"]

WHAAAAAAT?! Oh my god that-- that means he's gonna see, oh my god!!!

[Aaaaw, a date, that is so cute! Usagi totally knows about those, she's got this!]

I'd say--

[Wait. Wait, what?!! That's a post from... Makoto. Waaaaaaaait ...for ... it Usagi's suddenly gasping after taking a moment to think about that.]

WHO IS THE LUCKY GUY, MAKO-CHAN?!

Video

[roseeclair]

[Aaaah there she is~ Even if Mako's still nervous as hell, she is glad that Usagi's here to talk about this.]

So uh... you remember me talking about Naoto-kun, right? [Because of course Mako would talk about the cute boy she met while doing the farming quest.] So uh... at the dance, I guess the magic hour made him flirt with me, and then we ran into each other at the magic fair, and well... he ended up asking me out for real.

[Save for the few seconds of miscommunication and almost rejection, congratulations, the whole story of their romance is on the internet.]

Forgive my lack of knowledge, Makoto my dear, but what is a date? [Hello modern slang this princess from the 1400s has no idea what it is. But give her an update and she'll be able to help in just a moment.

Video

[roseeclair]

Oh boy... Okay so... it's when someone finds another person they like and well... asks to spend time with them and get to know them. As... more than friends?

[Courting, Aurora. It's courting.]

[inemeraldfaith]

[A date, hm...? As someone who has asked others on dates and blatantly ignored people when they've asked her on dates...]

Hmmm! I think the best advice to give someone would be to just be themselves. There's no need to go overboard with trying to impress someone. Just don't overthink it!

[Easier said than done...]

Audio

[roseeclair]

Yeah, that's what people have been saying [you know, aside from pressing her for DEETS], but like... how do I not overthink it? This is kind of a big deal, I don't want to mess up!

I used to live with a pro when it comes to dates.

[ What does that even mean?? Poor Sojiro, he can't sneeze back in their frozen world. ]

He even gave me the recipe for an ultimate date. It comes down to a gift, the place with the right atmosphere, and dinner.

[ A foolproof date plan. ]

[roseeclair]

[One day he'll come to Avalon and have a sneezing fit underwater while the manatees try to bring him up for air.]

Okay but... what's the girl supposed to do? Like he's taking me for tea, so it's probably lunch, but that still counts as a meal and I love tea, so that's two for three. [GASP!] Am I supposed to give him something too?!

[tempredmental]

Wait... who got asked out?

[roseeclair]

... Me?

[Congrats for being the only one to fall for the “asking for a friend” angle, Keith.]

do something special you think they'll like
put them first before yourself

[roseeclair]

That's...

That's actually a really good idea, thanks.

[No, seriously. Her mind's scrambling for what- this is what happens when you've only known a guy for a couple of weeks- but gift noted.]

Best advice is to not be a huge dork about the whole thing.

[ Gareth rubs at her chin, letting out a thoughtful hum. ]

Well... courting traditions have changed a lot since my time, I think.

That and I was never really that good at them... Lady Lyonesse had to basically walk me through a lot of it...

[ And they hadn't gotten particularly far before... Well. Best not to dwell on that. ]

[roseeclair]

[A soft laugh.] Sounds like we're like of the same in that way.

[Clueless about how to court. But... it does make Mako feel a little better.]

Congrats! Outside of the usual stuff [ you know, be yourself, dole out the intense parts in small pieces, etc. ] I would say try to find out what taste level your date is used to! Then you won't disappoint them by being too low-brow! Not that you're low-brow, you know, but you'd be surprised how intense some rich people can be with their expectations..

[ He's just kind of rambling. ] Heh, I've never helped a girl though so maybe it's different..?

Video (Also, that username is FABULOUS)

[roseeclair]

Uh well... I think we're kind of the same level? Maybe? I hope so.

[Plus really, she's a princess and a royal guard... reincarnated as an orphaned but still inexplicably self-sufficient teenage girl. Class and classiness is all over the place. .... Then again, what if Naoto's secretly a prince himself?]

It sounds like a lot of people had a pretty good time.

Well, for starters, did you say you'd go?

Audio

[roseeclair]

Y-yeah, of course I did.

[Rather enthusiastically too. But really, Mako's not the kind of girl who'd skip THAT step in a million years.]

[resistetmords]

Eh... just relax and dress nice.

[She can't ignore something this adorable.]

[roseeclair]

[A soft laugh.] Yeah, that's what I've been hearing so far. Really appreciate all of you guys being willing to listen to be panic.

Oh my, Makoto-chan. You scored a date at the masquerade?

Who's the lucky guy?

Video

[roseeclair]

[Ah. The other source of teasing, one she should've expected.]

I-I uh... there's this boy I met on the farming quest, Naoto-kun. He's been really nice so far.
