[r8] talking head: dettlaff

[loveauthority]

[ Dettlaff is led to a quiet room within the resort with a pair of hammocks to suit the scene, and upon one of them is where the overseer sits. She beams, shuffling her cards in hand (she will not use these), and motions for Dettlaff to take a seat already!!!

This is the Talking Heads room, and there are cameras. Prepare to loosen those lips! ]

[ blissfully unaware ]

That's natural. But as long as there's a part of you that wants to try, then you'll be rewarded. That's a Yana-chan guarantee!

[ and... a guarantee she shouldn't make, but-- she is a girl who loves love, and she found her own, so the only advice she has to really give is: ]

Just don't wait too long to say something, even if it's as simple as "I'd like to get to know you better"!

[ardencies]

[That is actually good advice? That he should take to heart? Because it clearly worked for her at some point?

And that is not sarcastic metatext at all. Dettlaff tends to take much at face value, and he has no reason not to extend the same courtesy to her. Clash of personalities notwithstanding.]

How long is "too long"?

[makeine]

Dates start your second week here [ not dettlaff getting the schedule there are crew members trying to tell her to stop ] so I'd say "too long" is at the start of your third.

[ like, it could probably still happen.



but things tend to move fast. ]

If you feel curious about someone, make excuses to talk to them! To see what they're like, and to get to know them! Or be direct, whatever floats your boat.

[ardencies]

[GETTING THE SCOOP BY BEING EXTRA BAD AT THIS-- EXCELLENT!

The start of the third week. Things do move fast there, especially for an immortal, but logically, it makes sense. If someone is dragging their feet 3/4ths of the way through this game, they might be struggling to the point that is... worrisome.]

I prefer directness. That is not the issue. It is a matter of knowing whether or not the other party is... interested. You humans are hard to read. Harder still, to know if you are simply lying about said interest.

[makeine]

Oh, if they've come here then their interest is real! Or at least their curiosity, their hope... I don't think anyone'll lead you on, but if they do -- I'll kick their butts. No one should lie to someone about their feelings.

[ otherwise they're total scumbags and she WILL skin them. ]

It's better to have some faith than to have none at all, don'tcha think? Take it at face value. Assume they're telling the truth. Punch them if they aren't. You know?

[ardencies]

[Punch them if they aren't.

He can get behind that. It is very straightforward — this young human girl gives him advice that he can vibe with.]

Very well. So then I have permission to punch ["punch"] anyone who may try to deceive me?

[makeine]

[ ...................................

she really shouldn't say yes but-- ]

Make 'em regret even thinking about it!

[ good lord ]

[ardencies]

[Excellent! Permission for violence. He feels a little better about this, then.]

Very well. That does not make it easy... but it does make it simpler.
