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!

[ It's a good thing this is text, Mafuyu can't hear the audible whine. ]

Then they'll have to decide on my appearance since they don't know me!

[ AND TAICHI IS SHORT AND UNMUSCULAR AND HE'S PRETTY SURE HE DOESN'T STAND OUT AT ALL, WHICH IS WHY HE TRIES SO HARD TO BY DYING HIS HAIR AND PIERCINGS AND FASHION.. ]

[restringing]

That's why you should talk to them first

[Which is easier said than done for someone like Mafuyu, but Mr. 7😆H!TA1 over here seems more than energetic enough to have no problem with that.]

[arf]

You wouldn't have a problem if some stranger just came up and started talking to you uninvited?

[ bc he'll start doing that, he doesn't have a problem with that ]

[restringing]

Mmn... maybe
I'm not good at expressing myself
So I don't talk to strangers much

Where are you going to flirt with people?

[arf]

Hm.. I don't know yet. It could be anywhere! Even the grocery store!

[restringing]

The grocery store?
Maybe
I met my boyfriend while napping at school

He's always yelling about people who start playing instruments to be popular
Or else I'd suggest that

[arf]

Ehh? That's super lucky! How did you guys start to like each other?

What's wrong with wanting to be popular?

[restringing]

He fixed my guitar for me
And I joined his band

I guess
It happened before I knew it

Uenoyama-kun says that people who play instruments to pick up girls are "shitty goddamn posers"

[arf]

What if you pick one up to become generally popular?
I'm asking for a friend!
The friend is me. (・人・)

[restringing]

[He can practically hear Uenoyama screaming "THAT'S THE DEFINITION OF BEING A POSER" across universes, but hey...]

Well

Do you like music enough to be serious about it?

[arf]

I don't want to be a musician, but it's not wrong to learn something for fun and to show off a little.
I did a Taiko performance at a summer festival! I practiced really hard in secret. I don't want to be a pro drummer or anything, but it was fun! And everybody was looking at me on stage!

[restringing]

That's what I meant
Practicing hard and having fun
You don't have to go pro

I think that if you enjoyed it
That's what matters

[arf]

What if the most fun part is having your friends see you and cheer you on and maybe getting a few more fans while you're at it?

[ Look, Taichi is taking notes. He's trying to figure it out. He really just wants to be popular...... ]

[restringing]

Um

I don't know

I don't think
There are rules

[Taichi said he's having fun, so?! Uenoyama can be grumpy and pissed at whoever he wants, but who's Mafuyu to stop anyone from doing something they want to try out?]

[arf]

Yeah but I don't want to be a poser!

[restringing]

You sound like you put effort into it though

You didn't just buy an instrument and not learn to play

[What counts as a poser is honestly beyond him, but the bottom line are "the scum of the earth assholes" who buy a cheap guitar to take pictures with and impress girls. All of Uenoyama's rants are kind of crossing in his head by this point.]

[arf]

Ehhh? Who has the money to do something like that?!

[ Taichi's f2p in games and f2p in life. ]

[restringing]

Not broke high schoolers

[Like him. Even with a job, paying studio fees for band practices leaves him with just enough to get fast food a few times a month.]

[arf]

Exactly!
I already get yelled at enough for taking showers for too long or leaving the lights on when I exit a room... There's no way I'm a poser!

[restringing]

[Those couldn't have much less to do with being a poser, but that's fine...]

Um
If it helps
I didn't know anything about music when I started

Only that I wanted to play

I think that's enough

[arf]

You said you play guitar right?
What kind of music do you play?
Classic rock? Metal? So-called "country" music?

[restringing]

Mm
It's mostly rock... I think
Indie
Maybe

Not metal or country or classical

[arf]

Ohh! Indie can be really good stuff though!
Solo or band?

[restringing]

Band
I'm the vocalist too

[arf]

Awesome let me know when you perform, I want tickets!!
