[Ren looks a little bit different this month, thanks to a certain ritual. He's confused about it, sure, but he seems to be fine with it. Thanks Lunatia for teaching him this is actually pretty normal.

His condition isn't why he is one the network though.]

I'm sure I won't be the only one on the network with the a certain #MerlinQuest in mind, but someone has to get it started, right?

This is an invitation for anyone to come do the quest with me. If you're feeling shy, I can start us off~ But I would like to know who I'm talking to so I can personalize~



And before any of the spoilsports ask, no I don't feel ashamed. Why would I be ashamed of wanting to spread love and kind words around?

[Oh thank god, Machi doesn't have to jump into this one alone. Just thinking about it makes her want to die.]

I don't really know anything about them so...

[She's mostly just warning him here that if this is going to be some trading line for line thing then she's going to be terrible at it. But it... sounds interesting?]

[saxsongs]

[Ren is pleasantly surprised to see Machi reply to this sort of a thing and smiles rather gently.]

That's alright. The goal is to mostly have some lighthearted fun. And I can show you some examples, of course...

[imperfectwish]

[Oh! Examples.]

I wasn't sure where to look for examples so...

[That's her way of saying yes and thank you please.]

( Ren isn't the only one facing some changes. Izumi's hair is markedly fluffier and a pair of equally fluffy brown rabbit ears have sprouted out of her head.

it's embarrassing, and so is this whole quest thing. she's having to rifle through her brain for old roles she played to see if any of them actually used pick up lines, because goodness knows she doesn't have any of her own. )

How about this one? It was something I had to say for a role once:

( ahem. the line is stiff, and her cheeks are pink, but it's truly atrocious so can anyone blame her? ) Can I follow you home? My parents always told me to follow my dreams.

[saxsongs]

[She is very, very cute with those ears, Ren has to admit. They suit her.]

That's a good one. I would definitely let you follow me home~

[He winks, unable to stop himself from teasing her just a little. Then, a line he picked for her:]

I was wondering if you’re an artist because you were so good at drawing me in.

[currysseur]

( mEN. that response is just to throw her off, but it works, and the way her expression twists nervously makes that obvious.

dang it. she needs an answer to that line, but her brain's short circuiting...

nnngh. )

Well... ( wait, she thinks she's got it! ) You don't see a masterpiece every day.

( it's not as effective when you're trying to punch it out before your embarrassment makes you stammer, really. )

It sounds like fun, but of course now that I'm being asked for lame lines I can't think of any good ones.

[saxsongs]

It's rather normal to forget the moment you're asked something. Maybe if I start, you'll remember something.

[Give him a moment to think.]

I don’t know your name, but I’m sure it’s as beautiful as you are.

[ichoosefight]

[ She snickers. ]

Okay...

Aren't you tired? Because you've been running through my mind all day.

[ It's okay, Ren. Minako won't call you out on the whole furry thing.

But of course she's still here for the subject of this post - whether it was Ren posting it or not, but him being the one posting it sure does help. ]

Oh, pick me, pick me! You just know I'd be the best at that sort of thing!

[saxsongs]

[Thank you, Minako-chan, how kind of you.]

I would never play hide and seek with you because someone like you is impossible to find.

[Straight to the point, it seems.]

[reloves]

[ ...

!!!

She wasn't prepared for things to start that quickly! And she knows that it's just for the quest's sake, but.. ah.. Ah, that felt like it was aimed at her! Right in the chest!

Minako needs to dramatically grab her chest and calm down for a moment before she can even return one. ]

A-As expected, you're too strong.. [ Bathing in the light of Ren's charm is too much on a girl's heart! ]

Besides, your legs must also be tired! Because you've been running through my mind all day..!

I... may actually be of some help here.

Back in my realm, I accidentally came upon a book of... such lines.

[ Normally she wouldn't really speak of that incident too much, but Ren's a good egg she knows she can trust! ]

[saxsongs]

Ah, I know those kinds of books. There are some like that back home, too. Most of the ones I know are from those, admittedly.

[troubadamsel]

To be honest, I thought it was a book intended to raise one's self confidence and help with your social skills. And it... certainly did, just not in the way I intended.

Hmm.

[Jade can't help smiling into the video feed, amused by Ren's efforts so far.]

As much as I'd like to do my part, you are my boss.

[saxsongs]

Would it help if I gave you a special permission to engage in the quest? It won't affect our relationship at work, since it's all for fun, after all.

[feisticuffs]

I suppose I don't see the harm in that! You're right, it's all in good fun, yes? And for the greater good, at that.

[Okay, maybe that's a stretch.]

[kingfuckboy]

Fun idea. Since it's all for fun.

Maybe something like:

I'd love to take you to the movies, but they don't let you bring your own snack~

[saxsongs]

Starting out strong, I see.

[It's all fun, but Ren is also always on flirt mode, so please excuse him for the additional charm he puts in.]

You know, you’ve got a lot of beautiful curves, but your smile is absolutely my favorite.

[kingfuckboy]

Oh - compliments like that get you everywhere.

[ JJ is unapologetic, and he is deriving a lot of fun from this. ]

I'm learning important dates in history - would you like to be one of them?

[foxtouched]

Oh... I could try.

[ She's a bit flustered about it though... ]

A-Are you a flower? Because I look at you and want to smile!


[ Because... flowers make her smile?! ]

[saxsongs]

[That is very cute and wholesome, actually.]

Well, I have been compared to a rose before~

But ah. No wonder the sky is gray—all the color is in your eyes.

[Fine, fine, she'll play along because it's a quest from Merlin himself.]

Do you ever get tired from running through my thoughts all night?

[saxsongs]

[Merlin is probably pleased with the dedication.]

Perhaps, but I would run even longer if you wished for it.

That being said, here I am. What are your other two wishes?
