[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 ]

A contest? I do hope you don't mean guzzling a cocktail, because I'd feel bad for the staff then.

[spellfeather]

I've learned that anything besides a cocktail isn't really my thing. So yes, I do mean guzzling one, with about nine other people. Such was something my fellow crew members did, though they I could never partake because of what they used would probably kill me. [Quite literally actually. They drank alcohol that was black market worthy.]

[generalflirt]

Oh jeez. -- You mention a crew though, does that mean you've been on a ship for a while?

[ To turn this back to being personal, as he swirls his own drink on the table ]

[spellfeather]

That's right, a starship to be more specific. I was still on board until I got dragged here. [She pauses to take a sip of her drink, and to open up a bit of room for another question.]

[generalflirt]

Oh? [ His eyes do widen a little. But he reigns it in and- ] Where I'm from that would require a lot of specifications - so am I in the presence of a genius here?

[spellfeather]

[Karis nearly chokes on her drink from that question. Her? A genius? Oh that gave her a good laugh, thankfully her drink doesn't go through her nose.]

Haha, no. Operating the defense systems doesn't really require genius status. However, some parts do require the use of magic, namely some of the shields, but that's not my department. I'm more of a weapons kind of girl. [She does love a good weapon.]

[generalflirt]

Magic? So you guys got into space with robes and wizard hats?

[ Oh that's curious!! ]

[spellfeather]

No. Robes and hats create no protection against bullets and other magic. If a mage were to wear anything like that, then they're just putting a giant target on themselves and will be mowed down by the enemy. [Robes were only acceptable in any sort of setting that didn't involve combat, and in her "profession" a fight could break out at any moment.]

[generalflirt]

The enemy, huh?

[spellfeather]

Yeah, it's best not to talk about them though. [Otherwise there will be a very angry mage that'll be ready to bite heads off. The topic infuriated her, and she wanted to avoid it as much as possible.]

[generalflirt]

Hah. Okay then, your turn, if you want it.

[ To ask him questions. ]

[spellfeather]

[Oh archmages she's not good when it comes to asking questions outside her default ones. Come on Karis, you can do it.]

Hmm. Are you familiar with magic at all? Outside of Luceti that is. [Or fall back on the default question, that works too.]

[generalflirt]

Not so much. My world has monsters that few have ever seen though, and magic's been a myth forever - so who knows.

[spellfeather]

Wait, monsters? What kind? [Oh this certainly sparked her curiosity.]

[generalflirt]

Well... have you ever heard of the "dullahan?"

[spellfeather]

Never heard of it until now. [There's probably a lot of things he could name off that she's never heard of.]

[generalflirt]

[ A long sip before he slaps the cup down, winks!! ] Well then, have I got a tale for you! You should pay careful attention!

[spellfeather]

My ears are wide open. [Oh, a tale? This was certainly exciting for her.]

[generalflirt]

Well then! Our story begins up in the hinterlands of Ireland! It's said that there, between the realms of the living and the death, there's a massive black horse which will ride out in the night! A great stallion, whose thundering footsteps tell you that you ought to be wary of it's coming!

[spellfeather]

[She was about to ask where Ireland was, as she wasn't familiar with Earth locations, but she kept her mouth shut as she wanted to hear the full tale first before she started asking questions, or commenting about anything.

She's just going to nod and continue listening.]

[generalflirt]

But the real part of it... is that atop the steed is a figure in a dark dress! A beautiful woman, who is aside on the stallion - but it's no ordinary woman. This woman's actually a fairy - a creature of magic which brings the souls of the departed on into the next world. Leaving a wave of the dead behind her as she rides.

[spellfeather]

[Her eyes widened a little at all of this. This was exciting! Karis wished she had heard of such a creature before.]

No way!

[generalflirt]

Yes way! [ And he winks, wiggling a finger! ] But the big thing is... That she doesn't have a head! It's not even on her neck, she carries it in her arms!

[spellfeather]

Ah! But how did she lose her head? Did someone cut it off with an enchanted weapon, so that she wouldn't die? [Karis couldn't hold in her questions anymore, she really need to know!]

[generalflirt]

No way, that's the scary part! A being of death, and a fairy for the afterlife, the Dullahan just naturally has no head.
