Yo! It's your favorite Taichi Nanao. (Formerly ~wanwan! I'm going for a cooler image!) I hope everyone's happy and healthy. It looks like Iris is starting. Good luck, Irises... there sure are so many cute people going around this time of the month.

I need a little help!

What are everyone's favorite pick-up lines? Giving or receiving. Let's hear them!

Comments

[arf]

It does not! Middle schoolers don't combine three languages!

[ As if numbers and emoji are their own language... ]

Why not? Isn't it like the infamous playboy and playgirl? But with more clothes!

I heard it's a kraken! I've only seen them from afar tho

[deliveryhawk]

How is that three languages?

[Okay this guy is almost distracting enough to excuse his next comment, he's at least giving Takao many laughs with this conversation]

It's nothing like that! And it interferes with basketball.

Kraken?! I don't want tentacles!

Fine, Middle Schooler-san are you trying to pick up anyone or one special person?

[arf]

1. Numeric with Japanese pronounciation!
2. Romanized English!
3. Emoji! You can have a full conversation with just emoji, so it is a language!

Why does it interfere with basketball? Aren't rabbits fast?

[ Or was that Cordis? ]

I want to find that special person but I won't if I can't get anyone to take a chance on me! Also I'm in high school!

[deliveryhawk]

Numbers are numbers even with Japanese pronunciation and Emojis are not a language, what are you trying to tell someone with an eggplant?


That's Cordis and bunny ears get in your eye unless you're perky and they stand straight up. Perky does not make for good basketball.


Middle-schooler-san, I almost feel bad for you. But, maybe don't try so hard to be cool, you want them to like you for you.

[arf]

Who is calling someone "middle-schooler-san" when they don't even know what an eggplant is? (╬ Ò﹏Ó)

Get a scrunchy like in the movie. Um.. "Space Jam?"

[deliveryhawk]

I didn't say I don't know what it's for. I said what are you trying to say with it if that's what you use for a pickup line no wonder you keep striking out.

It's irritating that this isn't the worst idea..

[arf]

I'm not texting emoji pick-up lines! Geez.
This and that are different issues!

Problem solved!

[deliveryhawk]

They will see your name; maybe I should call you emjoi-san instead...

I'm not wearing a scrunchy.


[Is seriously considering it cause bball okay]

[arf]

My name doesn't have any eggplants!

Then it's okay if it interferes with basketball?

[deliveryhawk]

[Currently laughing so hard he has a tear in his eye, this guy is stubborn and optimistic, despite his irritation and trolling attempts Takao can't help but maybe like him just a little bit.]

But they'll know you think emojis are cool; you lose cool points before you get in the door.

.....No but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

[arf]

Ehh? People use emoji and kaomoji all the time! It's less cool if you don't know how to use them.

[ He's feeling like maybe he shouldn't be taking advice from this guy... His attitudes on emoji are a little outdated even for Taichi's taste?! ]

That doesn't matter. You get the job done if it's what you're passionate about!

[deliveryhawk]

[Honestly, Takao probably uses emojis more than he'll admit. That doesn't mean he won't tease someone for their habit of using them. His stomach now hurts from laughing.]

OK OK! You win Emoji-san, you make teasing you hard even for me.

[arf]

[ A VICTORY FOR TAICHI VS TEASING FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER

He doesn't even bother with a victory lap and just moves on to something else he wants to talk about. Taichi moves on fast. ]

Can I come watch you play basketball sometime? That sounds like so much fun!

[deliveryhawk]

[He is welcome, Takao just couldn't keep up the annoying act anymore. The guy was tickling him too much and so damn positive, which for a positive guy like Takao is infectious. He can move as fast as he wants cause he moves on to the magic word BASKETBALL.]

Hell yeah! You're in for the best game of your life me and our Ace will knock your socks off.

[arf]

That's so cool!! Send me tickets pleaase!
Do you watch plays? I'll trade you!

[deliveryhawk]

You got it!

[Any excuse to show off, these two are going to be chaotic....]

Play? you some kind of thespian? I'll check it out

[arf]

That's an old fogey term for it, but yeah! I'm a stage actor! Taichi Nanao of Mankai Company's Autumn Troupe and.. trying to get signed somewhere here still! But once I make it into a play, I'll send you a ticket!

[deliveryhawk]

It's called having class~

That would be kind of cool, you do musicals or serious Shakespeare like plays?

[arf]

I've never done Shakespeare before. We have our own writer, and he's really great! My troupe specializes in action plays. We've done mafia, post-apocalypse, a ton of street plays, and a few small shows. I was the co-lead heroine in the post-apocalypse one, The Stranger!

[ He's proud of himself. 'u' ]

[deliveryhawk]

That sounds more interesting than Shakespeare. Building up quite the image in my imagination Emoji-san. You better impress me!


[Nothing wrong with that, this guy has that in spades as far as basketball goes. The nickname will stick, Takao teases with nicknames, it's his thing.]

[arf]

I usually play the smaller characters, I hope that's OK!

[deliveryhawk]

Huh, isn't it like basketball, every player is needed?

[Translation: give him a good show and small part or not he will be impressed or at least amused.]

[arf]

Ah, not small like that! Well, sometimes small like that. Everyone in my troupe is taller and stronger than me, so they get more action scenes. I get physically smaller roles a lot! That's all I meant! I plan on getting good enough that I can get cooler scenes soon though!

[deliveryhawk]

Dynamite comes in small packages. I'm the smallest guy on my team. I could work out with you if you want to get more muscles. As long as you got the skill, I'll like it. What is it they say in theater, break a leg?

[arf]

Hehe, thanks!
Though hopefully I won't actually. O_O
