You worked up your courage and asked someone out on a date! Good job!





Now you have to hope the producers are kind re: where they send you.

[ it's strawberry he assumes it's for him!

but also he wouldn't consider that kissing either way. ]

The guy I hate the most is someone who pissed me off hundreds of years ago.

[makeine]

[ unfortunately she does. this is something she'll come to regret. ]

Can't be someone who gets annoyed by that then. Give or take?

[inparfait]

Take.

[ he says while taking a sip of the milkshake

she deserves better. ]

[makeine]

[ she does. ]

If you were having a bad day, would you be open to talking about it or would you prefer if they didn't and just made or did something you liked to cheer you up?

[inparfait]

These questions are dumb.

[ but he answers anyway. ]

The second one, obviously. Like get me a giant parfait!

[makeine]

You're being a good sport and answering them anyway.

[ which is nice. shows he means what he says. ]

Obviously though, huh? Would you get annoyed by your match pressing to know what was wrong? Or would you tell them right out when asked?

[inparfait]

[ she's getting a glare as he chews on another pretzel bite. ]

Yuck, neither. I'm a demon, what do I have to worry 'bout? Seiya could show up but that'd be short lived either way.

[ ...this is both the truth and not the truth. please get your worries away from him and he is not talking out "what's wrong" he's allergic. ]

[makeine]

Who the hell is "Seiya"? Your ex?

[ girl no use context clues it's probably the guy who pissed him off ]

[inparfait]

[ help.

well she manages to shock minami and that's probably satisfying in the few seconds he's speechless. but then he recovers and squeezes the milkshake so tight it goes everywhere. ]

A failed exorcist who wants to kill me. [ he's going to start licking the milkshake off his hands now because that was one of the wrong things to say and if he doesn't soothe his anger somehow, he'll wind up snacking the neck of the next person that walks by their table.

and for some reason, his voice sounded completely different there. lower by several registers and without any of the usual bounce. ]

[makeine]

[ sorry. did you just waste her fucking milkshake.

...

she's standing up to go get two more and an extra cup of pretzel bites, salty this time. one strawberry milkshake in front of him, and then the other for her. he can have what's left of the cinnamon-sugar bites too she's opening her milkshake to dip salt & sweet. ]

Just because you're a demon? Totally irrelevant to finding your match, so I'm not gonna stick on it long.

[ makes sense though. exorcists do that. okay. ]

[inparfait]

Pretty much.

[ they have a history but she's right in that it's not likely relevant and he is not about to tell her, gomen.

anyway he of course doesn't say thank you for the food of her efforts because he's awful. ]

[makeine]

[ if he had she'd take his temperature because she wasn't expecting his rude ass to. they don't have to acknowledge it. ]

Persistent guys like that are the worst. Just take the hint and buzz off already, you know? If he couldn't kill you the first dozen times, what makes a thirteenth shot any different?

[inparfait]

The lessened weight of his sins or whatever? I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up here eventually since he's allowed to move between Hell and the Living World.

[makeine]

Is he scrawny?

[ why she wanna know ]

[inparfait]

Why's that matter?

[makeine]

Gonna beat him up at the door so he doesn't screw us out of a win.

[inparfait]

[ ok that does get him to laugh imagining the sight. ]

You're better off flirting with him, he's a womanizer. But I wouldn't say he's scrawny, but he's not built either. And he's like a stupid tree.

[ he's got a full foot on minami so them fighting always looks funny. ]

[makeine]

[ ugh........ so like, kind of athletic type...? maybe like sosuke then... ]

He'll be easy pickings then, even though I'm not gonna flirt with him... Might I totally remind you I'm taken?

[ even

if it's for nothing but publicity, it's fine, no one needs to know. ]

Anyway, he sounds like a total pain in the butt. Have you felt at ease around anyone? Here or there?

[inparfait]

So? Throw one of the other girls at him.

[ though that question.... ]

What does that mean? I don't need to "feel at ease" cuz I'm happy doing things that I like and I'm mad when I have to deal with things I don't like.

[makeine]

You're as simple as a baby.

[ oh my god anna what happened to getting along with him in any way. ]

By "at ease", I mean like... you're totally fine doing nothing at all with someone you're around. "Being unabashedly yourself" doesn't apply to a whimsical guy like you anymore.

[inparfait]

And humans are stupidly complicated. You all think too much and waste most of your short life doing it.

[ anyway he thinks on that and-

this is too early in the week for his braincell to make a realization on this end that somehow him and tsukasa cancel each other's loudness out to where this is both possible and enjoyable. and even if he realized it, he definitely wouldn't say it so, f. ]

But my answer's no!

[makeine]

[ she'll get you yet demon boy. ]

Well, there's still time.

[ kicking her feet... sipping her milkshake. ]

Mm... You're about as tough as some of the others. Probably since you're so free-spirited, being a demon and all. [ this is just fact to her. sometimes you just need to let things roll off you. ] Can't be someone who ties you down, but... how does someone you know you can come back to sound? Like a constant.

[inparfait]

Why do you need to make it sound so gross? [ god if he didn't bind himself into trying to figure out his match here he'd rattle off a useless comment and finish this conversation. but because he did, the best he can do is reframe it in a different way. ]

I have a favorite parfait I eat back in Hell whenever I'm in a bad mood. Does that answer your stupid question?

[ something he always goes back to, despite everything. ]

[makeine]

[ fascinating. he's so food based for a demon. ]

It sounds gross because it is gross. But in a good way, like a mud bath. Kinda answers it though, sure.

[ anyway more importantly going by how she leans forward in excitement-- ]

What's your favorite parfait?

[inparfait]

[ well he can agree with her on mud baths...he's pretty fussy with cleanliness and the thought of having to make sure he gets every speck of mud off him so he doesn't ruin an outfit is annoying.

but he doesn't think on that for long because!!! parfaits!!! ]

It's called a Super Premium Deluxe! It's this big [ holds out his hands to indicate what's basically one of those goldfish bowl drinks college students get wasted on ] and it has dragonfruit, strawberries, chocolate crumbles, chocolate ice cream, vanilla ice cream, pudding, wafers, strawberry jam, all topped with wafers, pocky, candied flowers, pocky, and a mountain of whipped cream!!!
