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]

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!!

[restringing]

The rest of the band isn't here
But if they ever show up
I'll introduce you

I can show you our music sometime
If you want

[arf]

Let's do it!
I'll bring chips since you're showing, we can make a day of it!
We can rock out with our guac out!

[restringing]

[1) What's guac, and 2) this is moving so quickly?!]

Can we make a day out of only two songs?
But
Okay

It sounds fun

[arf]

Probably not, but we can find other stuff to do!
