[OPEN] Let's experiment on the experiment...ers.

WHO: Tsuruno Yui ([personal profile] fanstheflames), ([personal profile] strongroots), and YOU.
WHAT: Spreading word about the experiment
WHERE: Around the City! Outside your apartment, in your face-- But also a portion of it at the Welcome Diner
WHEN: From early October to before the City event on the 19th!
WARNINGS: None!

[ PROMPT 1: FOR BUMPING INTO, BE BUMPED INTO! ]

There's a pair on a mission--and hopefully, a pair capable of wrangling some of their friends to join in on sharing out some fliers they've made for an experiment. But as it is, you may meet this pair when they knock at the door of where you're staying, or while you're out on the streets! Each with a friendly face, from the boy's calm nod and "Hey--you got a minute?" or the girl's [description here].

Or you've escaped meeting them in person, but found their flier slipped under the door of where you're staying. And on it reads...

PLEASE READ!
A group of us want to hold an experiment on how the city will react if we don't go to a new location immediately or any event it runs. The newsletter they gave out mentioned a Halloween party, and the report in the office also mentioned a test running from the 19th to 31st of October.

What happens if we run our own party in this timeframe? What happens if we don't take part in their experiments? We should test how they react.

Don't talk about this on the network. Come to the Welcome Diner if you want to find out more. We want to hold a meeting with everyone about this plan on the 14th at the diner.

Let's see how willing they are to act.

If you come to the Welcome Diner, Robby Keene and Tsuruno Yui can be found, especially during the first week and a half of the month; others, too, with the activity taking place there. But the pair are usually behind the counter, or Robby.

Take any of the above locations -- outside your character's apartment, on the streets, or the Welcome Diner -- as a place to bump into them, or to be bumped into.


[ OPTION 2: THE ARRANGED MEETING ]


[ OOC: Hi this is an IC post on the subject of experimenting with city events. Both Robby and Tsuruno can talk with your character, or if you would prefer one or the other, make a note of it in the subject! ]

[ Tsuruno meets Robby's glance with a little smile, the tinges of it definitely amused. Because she also doesn't get why Daniel would be so surprised. Why wouldn't you want to get to know someone better? That's how friendships are strengthened!

But maybe he's worried? Is that it? ]


I don't think he's going to... [ there's a wry tone now-- ] Contract with you for your soul or anything like that, if you're worried about it.

Oh-- Oh, absolutely not!

[ To both of these kids! Daniel even frowns a little bit as he says it, almost feeling guilty, especially considering what Midnight told him. The kind of discrimination he had to face back home, the terms some people used..

The last thing Daniel would want to do is make these kids think he's anything like the idea of a demon they might have. It feels unfair towards Midnight, especially when Daniel's surprise is for a different reason entirely. ]


It's not like that at all. Midnight's just like you guys and me, I swear. It's just-- just the word they use where he comes from, you know?

[ But just in case the kids might not believe a sensei here, especially when Daniel is the king of overcompensating, he adds: ]

I just, uh.. [ Good job, Daniel, losing track of what you can even say two words into a sentence. Coming across real convincing here. D-Don't mind it if the tips of your sensei's ears grow just a little bit darker with bashfulness. ] I didn't think he'd say something like that about me.
fanstheflames: (I light the match)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-11-18 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'd say so. [ She looks over at Robby, seeming legitimately concerned. ]

I thought you were supposed to get more confidence when you got older, but I guess adults have all kinds of problems too.

[ A sigh. ]

But it's okay! Have faith in yourself!

[ Wha--

C-Children! Children! You're not making this better! ]


Wait, what do you two think about me?

[ Look how easy it is to tease Daniel.. They've hardly said anything at all, and the man's jaw is already dropped, staring between Robby and Tsuruno with true desperation in his eyes. ]

I know people! [ Nothing makes you sound more like you actually don't know people than desperately saying that. ] I was just surprised! C'mon, don't get all sorts of weird ideas about me!

[ At least they haven't figured it's because of the kiss, but.. Daniel isn't so sure if this is really a step up from that.. ]
fanstheflames: (To keep you warm)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-11-21 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Right! There's nothing weird with being shy! But you're a great guy! You should feel confident that people want to spend time with you!

[ ... She does not punch Daniel in the arm, she'll leave that to Robby, but she'll gently pat his back. It's okay, Daniel. These two teenagers are here for you with all the wisdom and socialization expertise they possess. ]

[personal profile] miyagimagic 2023-11-25 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not-- shy!

[ Yes, Daniel. Because that sputter right in the middle of that sentence will do a whole lot to convince these kids who are teasing you.

And the way he sounds flustered as he says it probably doesn't help either, huh. ]


It's just.. just an adult thing, alright? [ Daniel, what are you making this sound like-- Daniel, those are teenagers!! Daniel!!! ] You'll get it when the both of you are older.
fanstheflames: (But I'm set on fire)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-11-25 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Luckily for Daniel, that kind of suspicious implication is going right over Tsuruno's head, so there's nothing on her face when Robby glances at her but sheer confusion. An adult thing?

(Maybe she'll never get it, then.) ]


Okay? I'm not sure what's so adult about it, though...
