fifth ☕✨ tinder / moonlacing mingle!

[cadeuces]

( Ping! Your profile needs updating, there's hot singles in your area, it's a swipe frenzy— you all know the push updates with dating apps, right? Maybe you need to brush up your Chroma to buy a place in Amegahara and it just sounds like it's worth a shot, or someone gets ahold of your device and "helps" you along. Upload some new selfies with that new Moonblessing of yours, drop in an About Me, and get to swiping!

And Please— someone please come up with a better name than Prismates because the moons alone make sure we're more than just mammals and no one's obligated to do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. We all know the drill by now, don't we? Swipe right or left, yes or no, mark yourself down to moonlace and flirt or just rile a friend up with a big red X— try to include an opening message! Happy Hump Day? )

pretty lame? but i don't think you really have anything to worry about here.

disclaimer that we've hooked up tho. in case you want that up front.

if you don't want that up front, UHHHH.... DISREGARD?

[hunksmash]

[ Similarly, Hunk's not sure he's buying what Shiro's selling. OH WELL, THOUGH?? ]

great. awesome.

so uh... guess i'll leave you to it, then?

[firstsaderesponder]

but you can get popular because of a sex tape. a scandal is still being popular. and a good source of humiliation

[A sex tape would be right, but Sougo knows there would be some people into that. He's also terrible and wants to be the devil's advocate here.]

what is an actor doing in a fight club

[conquester]

Perhaps we might make new memories together and you can acquire some photographs for you to cherish, Tristan!

[doctorize]

Speaking of which, what is the adoption process like, if you don't mind my asking? I can't promise that I can adopt any cats anytime soon, but it's something I'd like to know for the future.

[pidgeypidge]

I think it's fair to assume that we're both correct. As far as I know, this place somehow exists outside the normal boundaries of space and time.

[She's gone home before, and come back, and that's the theory she's going to stick to.

She's also... not going to try and argue with him about it because he's likely going to believe what he wants to believe.]

Good. Just come in when you get here.

[conquester]

Right, I suppose this is true! I have much to learn about the intricacies of these 'emoticons'.

I do so like. ❤️ I shall remember to use these in the future!

[inordertobelieve]

[ He'd looked at this profile and thought to himself that being tidy and intelligent are things he can provide. Now he's already feeling he's in over his head. This is why he doesn't use social media. ]

I know a quiet and visually non-offensive café on Level 2. Does that sound acceptable for an initial meet-up spot?

Time-wise, I spend a lot of time at the Academy studying, so I am rather busy, but the weekends tend to be completely free.

[reposing]

...All right.

[Instead of throwing off the shirt, he winds it in his hands, as if the material will bring him comfort somehow. He waits, watching Jotaro, then winces a little as the cream presses onto his skin.]

Burns a bit. But not agonizingly.

[wearingguess]

Same things as what?

[starmark]

Hold on to my shoulder, if — y'know.

[It's sort of ridiculous, he realizes, as soon as it's out of his mouth. A shoulder to hold on to? But then — that sort of thing isn't really about the shoulder itself, is it. It's about the reassurance that someone is there at all.

He spreads an even layer of the muck, not too thin but not too thick, and waits.

And then it hits him.]

Wait. You mean this shit is actually doing something?

[reposing]

You didn't expect it to?

[Adrian lets out an amused chuckle.]

...Were it anyone else, I'd have been skeptical. My family believed in science, true, but there are remedies out there that work for a reason. A haggard old woman with chicken blood is worth nothing, but Trevor's family mostly had useful knowledge at their disposal.

[There's a pause, then he adds softly:] I tried to antagonize him once about it. As if his family was practicing witchcraft. But that isn't exactly what it is. Witchcraft either implies a contract with a demon or some idiot who thinks shaking a bag of rice during a drought would make it rain. It's neither.

[instaqueue]

Why, that's positively friendly of you. How lucky for me!

[ It's ok he's a healer he can heal back from fall damage..... ]

[seasoflight]

thank you, darling

i know i am a stranger to you in many ways, but to me, you are a source of familiarity

and comfort

i hope you can forgive me the indulgence of your company

[starmark]

I mean. The main ingredient is skull, so. Yeah, I was a little skeptical.

[He lets the paste sit, then sort of taps at it with the edge of the spoon to test whether it's hardening the way it's supposed to.]

I guess it makes sense that supernatural afflictions would take supernatural remedies. That's what the Belmonts were good at, right? They were as close as you could get to being an expert on the supernatural without being supernatural themselves.

[perspicaciously]

That is very true. I rather keep to my old-on-the-inside demeanor as well.

One often out grows the spontaneity of youth, although sometimes it's not so bad to retain some of it. So I suppose a middle ground is acceptable for those who wish to have.

[ Practice?! Angie!! No. She probably doesn't know about Ana but...well, this might actually be good. But, like, what does he actually type? Ozpin is not terribly good or proficient at these things. ]

Then perhaps...

Your eyes are as bright and beautiful as the moons.

[ Nailed it. But is he really trying?! We just don't know...
But honestly this is actually hard. How do you young people really use pick up lines?! ]

But your intelligence and kindness far out weigh what I could ever put into words. [ That's a little better, he thinks? ]

[arf]

Infamous and popular are different! Right?

I'm not in a fight club! It's just that my troupe is... an interesting collection of people. Delinquents, yakuza, and so on. They mostly fight with each other anyway...

[ He's not going to out Omi since Omi just wants to be a photographer now, so this stranger doesn't need to know he's an ex-motorcycle gang leader.. ]

[reposing]

Can't say that I blame you. If this was a remedy for a mortal man, I would be much more dubious.

[The paste seems to be hardening as expected, the spoon tapping noisily. Adrian, for his part, seems thoughtful, then sighs before he lets out a wry laugh.]

A disappointing thing, how neither of our families could do anything to help our country, much less each other. How indispensable a doctor for the supernatural would be.

[dissimilates]

More or less, yes. We had something called a crime coefficient. It's a numerical measure of said person's probability/propensity to commit a crime.

The system calculates and determines someone's stress level -- we call it a hue -- and other biological readings via cymatic scan. The clearer your hue, the lower your coefficient.

[starmark]

Less hunters and more doctors. Yeah. Maybe the world would be a better place, then.

[He finishes his poking, then carefully recovers the mug with the rest of the goop so as not to risk it drying out in the meantime.]

You're supposed to leave this on awhile, but if you want, we can take it off now and see if it helped any. Or when it stops stinging, maybe.

[reposing]

I suppose that's just a general, naive wish, isn't it.

[There's a shake of Adrian's head.]

We should leave it for now if those were his instructions. ...I don't want to leave this to chance if we're too hasty.

Thank you for doing this, Jojo.

[coasts]

really?
u kiddin or is that like a legit superpower

[starmark]

...Well. I dunno about that. It has to start somewhere, right? One person deciding to be different.

[He gives Adrian's hand a light squeeze.]

I mean. It's mostly Trevor, I guess. Probably oughta do something for the guy, if it turns out this really does work.

[And he glances up, his eyes softening.]

I just want you to be okay. That's what matters to me.

[varnish]

Do you want him to~?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Care to chat over some tea or something, perhaps?
