video: un Ryoji 💖 (note: will be slightly future-dated so newcomers can post once unlocked)

[thanatoast]

[An overly excited, but tall young man that looks like he'd break in two like a twig if the wind blew on him waves at the screen. This is the first time he's addressing the entire network, so like all first posts, it is made to give a lasting impression.]

Hello everyone! [He takes a small bow, all the while smiling.] My name is Ryoji Mochizuki!

[And what does he have to share with the world? Some wise words of wisdom? A new discovery? Well...]

I'd like to take you on a date! This world is beautiful and I want to share it with as many people as possible!

[...Wow.]

Whoever you are! [Then, he adds;] Well, I have to admit that I enjoy the company of pretty girls! It's okay if you're a guy too! I'm just am very lucky because my world has many beautiful women like Yukari-san, Mitsuru-san, Aigis-san and...there's also Minako of course...

[How did Ryoji get these pictures of everyone? Why does Aigis look like she wants to murder him? It is a mystery.]

But there's also Minato and while he's not a girl, he's handsome in his own right! My roommate Akira is very handsome too! I don't have a picture of him, sorry...But! There's many beautiful people in this world, I figured it would be easier contacting you all this way! Oh! And we don't need to moonlace, this isn't some sort of uh...

[He pauses to look into his 'Big Book of Sex Terms for Dummies'.]

...gigolo offering? I think that's the term...

[He snaps the book shut.]

...it's just a friendly date! If you want to hold hands, that's okay, I don't mind.

[Yeap. This is what lasting impression people will have of him. At the very least he looks...innocent about it? There doesn't seem to be a sinister undertone about it.]

So please, let me know if you're interested. I promise it will be worth your while!

[He takes a bow again.]

Thank you very much!

[OOC: I'm sorry (but not really) also Ryoji's info and permission pages.]

Comments

[thanatoast]

He said was disappointed I didn't have new pictures of you. Then said it wasn't needed when I offered to take pictures of you in the shower.

[lacrimose]

Seriously? You'd take pictures of me in the shower and give them out to people who asked? what's with that

[thanatoast]

I was curious to see what he'd say. I wouldn't, I promise!

[lacrimose]

ohhh so you were just teasing him

[thanatoast]

[Trying to figure out what his deal is but...]

Yes exactly!

[Well, a little white lie is okay.]

I hope that's okay...I tease Minato too, and we've known each other since ten years ago!

[lacrimose]

Ryo's pretty serious, he might not react if you try to tease him too much

[Not that it stops Akira from doing it, but Ryo will tolerate a lot from Akira that he won't with other people.]

[thanatoast]

He was pretty wooden when he showed up when you weren't there at the apartment. It's um...what's the phrase...

...oh! He has a stick up his ass, right?

[lacrimose]

Don't be mean. It's just how he is

[He's not denying it's true, though...]

[thanatoast]

So the stick is stuck there permanently?

[lacrimose]

There isn't a stick. Ryo is just Ryo.

Most people don't understand him because he's different

[thanatoast]

But isn't everyone unique? What makes things the same?

[lacrimose]

ummm

[How do you describe this to someone who isn't human.........]

Sometimes, if you're too unique, people will shun you because they can't understand you
Have you ever seen bullying happen at school? some people get excluded because other people think they're weird

[thanatoast]

[If only you knew...]

it's true some people tend to do that

i haven't seen bullying but i wasn't in school for very long

[lacrimose]

Yeah. It happens outside school too, that's just one example

Ryo is different. but he has feelings just like everyone else, and he can be hurt just like anyone else.

[thanatoast]

[Just like everyone else, huh...HA HA HA...]

Was Ryo bullied? Or is it something else?

[Now he kinda feels a little...hmm...guilt?]

[lacrimose]

[Akira should really private this but he's too technology dumb to pay attention...]

Not exactly. he didn't let people bully him

But people always avoid him because they don't understand him, so he's lonely a lot

[thanatoast]

[Well neither if Ryoji great with it so they can be grandpas together. He has to wonder what he did to stop them...]

Ahh. If he's lonely, why didn't he let me be his friend? Or is he the type to say he's lonely but not let anyone be a friend?

[lacrimose]

He won't say he's lonely and he won't let anyone be his friend
He doesn't talk about his feelings

[or any feelings, period]

There's only one other person I've ever seen him be friends with, but he doesn't remember him any more. That was in another world

[thanatoast]

What's the term...barriers? He puts up a barrier to repel others.

[...is this the opening he needed?]

Another world? What do you mean?

[recidivate]

Akira.

[lacrimose]

[ack, busted]

hi Ryo

[recidivate]

Does this conversation need to be happening?

[lacrimose]

Sorry...
I just figured if he knew more about you, you'd get along better
He's my roommate after all, you'll be seeing each other a lot

[recidivate]

You know I don't need you to speak for me.

[lacrimose]

Yeah, I know. Sorry if I said anything too personal.
