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.

Why?

[ we pour one out for ryuji on this "date", but it's fine something is bound to distract him again eventually. ]

[boneface]

[ please. look at the shiny lights. the christmas music. jingle bells is playing as ryuji fights for his life right now. ]

'Cuz you're one of us. One of the group. I know you came here for your own reasons an' shit but it doesn't mean we can't be... friendly, right? Unless you're not wanting to make friends with people here?

[inparfait]

Most people don't try to befriend a demon.

[ don't worry, he's not a tsundere! or akechi, where he's going to storm off because of this. instead, he's just:

]

[boneface]

[ That's a fair and valid response. Ryuji is feeling less like he's going to get stabbed though so he kind of breathes a sigh of relief. ]

Well, nah, but what else am I supposed to do with ya? Why can't we be friendly? I don't wanna sit here hatin' each other or bein' scared or something.

[inparfait]

Augh fine, whatever. [ he brushes off the remains of the glass santa onto the floor, because he's a heathen. they have a menu on their table that he should definitely be looking at, but a giant gingerbread house in their periphery catches his eye first. ]

Can you get one of those to eat?

[boneface]

[ A slow blink at Minami's change in demeanor and then more relief fills him as he changes the subject. That's... well, now he knows what not to say.

He looks between Minami, the gingerbread house, and then back at the menu at his question, making a pleased noise as he spots it on the menu. ]

You can! It's a challenge, eat it all and the whole meal's free. Do ya think you can do it?

[inparfait]

Huh? Really? Yay!!! [ crisis completely averted, there's only sweets now. ]

Of course I can. You should get something for yourself if you want to eat anything.

[boneface]

[ PHEW. ]

Oh!! Yeah, okay. I want the peppermint hot chocolate. And uhm, the eggnog cheesecake.

[ . . . ]

— wait, there's also omurice on this menu? What the hell?

[ There is a high chance he orders omurice as well as the sweet stuff they're ordering. ]

[inparfait]

Don't you only find that in Japan? But if you want it, get it.

[ that's his motto.

he'll also order a super decadent hot chocolate with way too many marshmallows and sprinkles. ]

[boneface]

[ He considers it but, well, he can have omurice at any time, can't he? He looks for things he hasn't gotten before. ]

Imma get the Christmas spaghetti too. I dunno what makes it a Christmas spaghetti but sure, why not, right?

[ And so when the waiter comes over, he'll order what he wants and looks to Minami to let him order his meal too. ]
