generalflirt: (About Time)

~♥FORTY-TWO♥~

[Masaomi Kida isn't quite sure what to do with himself. His schedule's been thrown off entirely because of his going to Green for help, only to have been told (again, again, again) that he's a fuck up. That he's a failure. It stings, perhaps more than any other time he's been reprimanded in this fashion, to hear that he's apparently been doing poorly with Pokemon, with Linda. It's nothing new, of course (his mother, himself, Izaya, Sokka, every time he'd come out of an AU, looks on Katara's face, Aang's entire existence, Riku, Xion...). In fact, he's long, long since used to being a loser.

But it stings. Actually, it makes his resolve to reverse that even greater.

So he's been (re-)training with the trainers, he's stopped doing personal training with Linda, and he's stopped giving lessons to Ikki (hell, he can't even do that effectively, given his pokedex has been taken from him). That cuts at least two hours he normally dedicated (plus rest periods) out of each day, leaving only his irregular checks with Chun-Li and his irregular gun lessons and ninja lessons. And, of course, personal training. Still, with the brutality involved in some of pokemon lessons (punishments, a part of him can't help but think) he's cut back on that as well. Leaving him with... what.

Too much free time.

Too much pointless free time. He can't hang out with Gold or Silver, that would hurt to have been around people he's apparently failed without even realizing it. He can't be around Katara, she's some ghost of what she normally is. He can't be around Ventus or Roxas or Riku or Xion or any of those other people, because their strength of power or character just oozes out of them, punching him in the gut. This leaves, of course, only Shikamaru and Linda of people he would consider himself at all close to, and there's only so many hours in the day you can spend with your best friend or your partner (who you're still arguing some with) before you get sick of that too.

It reminds him, in a lot of ways, of the tail end of middle school.]


[Video]
[Of course, there's really only one way to deal with frustrated misery: you plaster a broad smile on your face such that no one can see what's going on inside of you. He's long since used to doing this, and right now, he doubts anyone will call him on it anyway.

And so, with a bright grin on his face, the video begins. He's in his apartment, dressed in suit very similar to the one he got in gangland during the scavenger hunt experiment]


Hello, hello, ladies and gentlemen! Coming to you live from a studio apartment near you, this is Kida Live! The spiritual successor to the well-received Kida Radio program that some of you might have heard about! [He spreads his arms wide, laughs, and then brings his arms in closer to himself, winking at the camera of the book before crouching down and keeping up the blase smile]

Now, I'm sure many of you have wondered "okay so Luceti's unfortunate, but how can I get a date?" Or perhaps "Valentines is coming up! What if I'm forced into my first kiss?" Or even your first intimate nature moment. [And he holds up his one hand in a circle, the other with his pointer finger out, and then pushes the pointer finger into the circle.] These are all valid concerns! After all, there's a sick sense of humor at work in the "Fate" of this world, one which breaks men's spirits as if they were twigs.

[And he laughs, at his own joke. His voice might just have shifted in pitch a little, but- He twirls in place, and by the time he's done, he's back to normal. Upbeat]

So tell me, Love Hunter Masa, about these concerns! About how you want a date and your woes of love. I'll have you know I even know an excellent matchmaker called the Commodore who can help~ you~ out~!

[With a little finger wiggle at the book of each of those last three words. He ends it there. This'll be more fun than just thinking, anyway.

If you don't want to do the video, there is an action option. Despite doing this broadcast in his apartment, he'll be spending most of his days not spent doing training things in Building I (formerly Azzip, now a budding convenience store) sitting with his Pikachu and browsing his journal. See him through the door or the window or something, or when he steps out to get a meal]


["Action" on the 21st]
[The next day from the Kida Love broadcast, Masaomi is in Building I again, just sort of hanging out in the later afternoon. It's around then that the droids come- he recognizes this approach once they're in the building, and both him and Linda react quickly. The thing of it is, despite the sabotage they assisted in and (in his opinion) how well they did during that defense of Catherine boondogle, this time two things happen to make them completely overwhelmed: These aren't sabotaged droids, and Linda's electricity outright dies on her early in the fight, to both of their surprise. And, following a quick and ultimately futile scuffle, both Masaomi and his mouse are dragged off to the Rogue labs]

[She snorts at his words. Don't think Ino isn't perceptive enough to notice that expression.]

It's a wonder you haven't found any... to think you're a good person all in all.

You say that like liking you in that way is a big mistake. [Tell her it's not.]
floralogy: (come again?)

[When was this?? Do jog her memory if you must.]

I'm rooting for you here and then you say I imply otherwise?

[Not amused here, Masaomi. She's being sincere here!]

That's one of my many expertise.

[A little all-knowing smirk.]

How do you find pink-haired girls in general?
floralogy: (pretty is the magic word)

Then, I might just have found a "unique" delicacy for you.

[What did he even- Anyway!]

Her name's Sakura. She's my stubborn best friend who actually believes she'll get a date by Valentine's Day. [Of course, everyone knows she's asking for a death wish.]

So, as her kind and loving best friend, I intend to help her. [Behind her back.]

No, you're an option. I don't normally set my best friend up with any random guy I know.

[Which is the truth. Of course, Ino doesn't know what went on with you guys.]
floralogy: (it was pretty retarded)

You make it sound like getting married is like applying for a job.
floralogy: (so you're a lady?)

So, it's sort of like a tradition back in your world?

So, what traditions in marriage do you guys have nowadays?
