voice; forward dated to August 12

[piercedyourheart]

This might be a weird request, but could I borrow a few baggy shirts? I guess Iris makes me grow big, uncomfortable, stupid horns that don't let me fit through doors and ruin all my tops! [ that is not a bitter tone, it definitely is not. ]

Promise to give them back after the moon's over?

[ she knows that voice, too. ]

Yeah, that definitely sounds too big. You've gotta have a lot of extra room for wings.

You would? Guys never go for that kinda thing.

[chainlinks]

Most guys don't know what they are missing out on.

[Ren spent days shopping for the perfect gift to give his friends, okay. He has the shopping chops for it.]

[piercedyourheart]

[ crush, start!

she puts her hand over her heart and smiles. ]

You really do know how to sweet talk a girl.

[chainlinks]

[Wait until she finds out him and Joker are the same.]

Well truth be told that wasn't my purpose this time, but thank you.

[Wink!]

If I wanted to try, I'd say something much better like 'what if we hold hands while we do it to build up chroma for purchases', but honestly I think I have enough I could pay if you don't have enough right now on your own...although that would surprise be greatly.

[piercedyourheart]

[ it will be the most non-surprise surprise of the century. ]

[ are her cheeks slightly pink? nope. ren has gotta be imagining that. ] I've got a little bit of Chroma saved up, but nothing major. And that's nice of you to offer, but really don't have to cover me. I'd hate taking advantage of the situation.

[chainlinks]

[Of course. Just his imagination.]

I understand. If you'd rather pay for your things I can show you a few places that are reasonably priced. If you let me pay for something, you could always pay me back later at your own pace. Running out of Chroma is not a particularly great feeling, after all.

[piercedyourheart]

[ she strokes her chin with an over exaggerated 'hmmm'. ]

Alright...you've convinced me. Gotta say that you drive a hard bargain, stranger. Where and when do you wanna do this?

[chainlinks]

[As someone who loves theatrics, he appreciates the little exaggerated show.]

Whenever you feel like it. I don't have a set time limit to this invitation and it sounds like you need clothing sooner rather than later.

[piercedyourheart]

[ it's an actress thing. ]

People have been nice enough to offer some clothes until the horns go away so I shouldn't need anything just yet. Maybe once all this is over we can go for it. It'll be nice to see you in person again....

[ dramatic pause. ]

Ren-kun.

[chainlinks]

People do tend to help each other a lot here, I have found.

[He can't help but laugh at his new title.]

Oh, we're going for 'kun' huh? I guess I am younger than you, after all...it would be nice to see you again as well....

[Also a dramatic pause!]

Yukari-san.

[piercedyourheart]

[ she grins wide. yukari is more invested in this than she wants to admit. ] You knew my name the entire time, didn't you? That's a rigged game if I ever heard it, Ren-kun.

And hey, I'm just following Haru-chan's lead! She had nothing but nice things to say about you, but she didn't tell me anything about you being a cheater.

[chainlinks]

Well who wouldn't know you?

[So mysterious. Wink! He does briefly look more serious, even if the grin never leaves his lips.]

I don't cheat, Yukari-san...I'm just very knowledgeable. That's a major difference. I don't like cheaters.

[piercedyourheart]

Flatterer, [ she huffs. it's a pleased huff, though. ]

So you're the kind of guy who likes to hold all the cards, but gives the other person a fair shot. That's very gentlemanly of you. I can respect that.

[chainlinks]

Well it's only natural, when it's someone like you. You deserve all of it.

[Ren, please stop.]

In a way...but thank you. I'm glad you do.

[piercedyourheart]

Y-you're welcome. [ goddammit, ren. yukari can only handle so much praise in a short period of time. her face is all red now. he's going to kill her. ]

Anyway! How about we call this game a draw and have some fun later, Ren-kun?

[chainlinks]

[There is a certain rush that comes when he makes people stutter a bit. Especially famous people from his world. Sorry, Yukari.

However the minute she wants to back down, he does the same.]

A draw it is then. I look forward to having fun later, Yukari-san.
