[Action]

[ Masaomi has made a promise to himself today. It's the Monday after Valentines and he's pretty sure he hasn't been shifted yet. He's also gotten a pretty disappointing chocolate turnout on Valentines probably - anyone is free to correct me if your characters gave something. And really, something Davis once said still weighs on him... Not that he can do anything about it this late in the game but he's going to be doing something special today:

While he's working at the Convenience Store or later in the day when he's hanging out around the square - not only is he going to flirt with almost every girl he can see, which isn't unusual, he is going to try to score as many actual dates as he can. Asking people out. Because why not? It'll be fun and chances are the plans will be put awry in the next week or two anyway.

So ladies, come at him. Or dudes come ask what he's doing or maybe join in on him. yolo swag ]

...Trying to woo the ladies of Luceti again, Masaomi?

[Sorry Masaomi, you get Cilan instead of a girl now. (Although he can make for a very convincing girl if he's wearing a dress and wig, but what are the odds of having those conveniently on hand...) Judging by his statement though, it sounds like he might have seen one of your previous attempts to romance one of the girls here before he approached?]

[generalflirt]

Yes I am. I figure, if we're going to be forced into it soon anyway, I might as well go for it myself.

[ And he leans back to grin knowingly at Cilan ]

[cilantro]

[To Cilan's credit, he manages to not roll his eyes at that.]

Hm. Normally this place is peculiar around this time of year with "Valentine's Day", but it's been rather quiet so far...admittedly, it does create a certain flavor of suspense, wondering whether or not something will happen soon and what kind of taste it might have this time. [Though if he's lucky, it won't be as awkward as last year? (Who are we kidding, it probably would be.)]

[generalflirt]

I know right. It's totally whacky how little whackiness has befallen us. But who knows, maybe it'll be a special year were the magic's delayed until White Day.

[ He says this with a series of hand motions, resulting in a little finger spinning one ]

[cilantro]

Isn't White Day the occasion when you offer a gift to someone in exchange for something that person gave you on Valentine's Day? [Hm] I wonder how they would try to celebrate that instead, if nothing odd happens around this time before then.

[...Using the word "celebrate" loosely, of course.]

[generalflirt]

Maybe you'll just be punished for not being active now.

[cilantro]

...You don't think that would really happen, do you? [He had been about to say that it was ridiculous to think so...before remembering where exactly they are right now and that does sound like something Luceti would possibly do just to mess with people, in all honesty.]

[generalflirt]

Who knows? It strikes me as being something very possible all things considered.

[cilantro]

Yes...in that case, I suppose you may be one of the few to escape that sort of punishment if something like that took place.

...Then again, it's also a possibility that it might be dependent on whether or not you're actually successful in your endeavors during this time now as well, right?

[generalflirt]

Eeeeh, eeeh!? Are you encouraging me to seal the deal, Cilan-san?!

[ And he cups his hands over his face, feigning swooning or at least blushing ] That's so forward!

[cilantro]

...Well, I may not be actively part of the...ah, "dating scene" at the moment like you are, but I can appreciate the sentiment behind a holiday like Valentine's Day. Expressing your admiration for someone around this time of year is normally considered a perfectly acceptable taste, strange events aside, so who am I to judge your pursuits of romance this time?

[...Not that he's implying that he might have been judging you a little any other time you were trying to hit on girls than right now...]

[generalflirt]

Really?

[ And he leans in now. Closer. Bigger. Smile-er ]

Really?

[cilantro]

Yes, really.

[Why are you leaning towards us like that is this really necessary...]

[generalflirt]

Really? So are we going to look for Shaggy Muskawitz?

[cilantro]

Huh? What are you talking about?

[seriously what kind of name is that is there a joke we're missing here somewhere]

[generalflirt]

We're talking about scoring here, Cilan-san! We're talking about breaking the barrier!

[cilantro]

...Oh--[Now he looks a little embarrassed for a second, but he's quick to try to recover!] I don't know if I would think of it like that--matters of the heart should have a passionate taste to them, but you also want to be earnest too, not just seeking compatibility for the purposes of intimacy. That way your love can ripen and, if you're lucky, you may be able to become their special vintage person!

[Shouldn't it have been obvious that he was the sappy "flowers and candlelight dinner" (and probably trying to save it for more than one date IE having actual relationships with someone) type rather than just getting to the "scoring" part with someone... 8|]

[generalflirt]

[ ...Jesus.

He really can't be flapped, can he? He was trying. He was trying so hard. But now he actually feels embarrassed over Cilan's make of keeping his cool. HE even blinks at this ]

Wow. You got the touch, my man.

[cilantro]

[Trust me, he was sweating bullets for a moment there once he realized just what exactly you were talking about, but for now he manages to laugh it off.]

I don't know about that, but...nonetheless, I will happily admit that there is something charming about the idea of romance, even if I might not be as experienced or active myself when it comes to dating or what not at the moment.

[generalflirt]

At the moment? Have there been other moments that you have been skilled with?

[cilantro]

...Do you mean in terms of romantic endeavors? Um, let's see... [The fact that Cilan even has to think about it for a second should be all the answer Masaomi needs, but Cilan still tries to come up with an answer for that anyway.] ...Well, I have helped Pokemon get together with their compatible partner once or twice before, like when my friends and I helped a pair of Cottonee become a couple...

[...But other than being able to successfully do a little Pokemon match-making (or valentines-induced shenanigans like last year), it's probably safe to say that Cilan is not quite as experienced with romance personally speaking. There are girls that do like him though, like the girls that hang out at his gym, but he's never dated any of them so does that even count?]

[generalflirt]

[ ... Wow bro. He smirks at that and is reaffirmed that he needs to help Cilan out in matters of love. But thne he just shakes his head and shrugs. Because you know what, fair enough ]

Not bad. That's gotta be a stressful thing.

[cilantro]

[Assuming he's referring to the Pokemon match-making thing Cilan was talking about--]

Well, with some Pokemon, they prefer their partner to be a Pokemon that's capable of holding its own in battle, so they'll sometimes battle one another or other prospective mates to impress their desired partner. At the time, my friends and I helped train a Cottonee we met with improving its aim and dodging skills so that it could impress another Cottonee that it was smitten with.

[...Unless there was something else you meant by that, in which case, hey, enjoy the free lesson about Pokemon match-making.]

[generalflirt]

You know, I could see that. Because that would definitely be how Linda does.

[cilantro]

[He nods] Given her personality, I would be a little surprised if that wasn't the case.

How is Linda, by the way?
