[r8] talking head: kaname

[loveauthority]

[ Kaname 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 Kaname to take a seat already!!!

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

[makeine]

[ ...

how's he like, look. after his. drunken stuff. ]

[gumai]

[ FRESH AS A DAISY, OF COURSE.

he is sipping a coffee this morning and a little tired but looks as hot as always. mm. yep. ]

[makeine]

[ disgusting. ]

Soooooo.

Are you into Gustave-san or something?

[gumai]

[ CHOKES ON THE COFFEE ]

That — you — I — [ get it TOGETHER, man. ]

I'm attracted to him, yes, but that doesn't mean anything.

[ because you can't find love in four weeks!!! ]

[makeine]

Happened quick, huh.

[ you're in HER HOUSE NOW, DATE!!!!!

leaning the FUCK in ]

What's attractive about him to you? Are you gonna ask him out this week? Was he gonna be the person you called up if you hadn't gotten snagged?

[gumai]

[ WOW NO THIS ISN'T HAPPENING ]

Hhhhh. [ debating between answering the questions or spinning absolute bullshit. ] I might ask him out and he was, yes.

[ but he's not answering that first question!! ]

[makeine]

Definitely ask him out and tell me why you picked him.

[ since he was ready to spill in front of everyone anyway is it so bad to do it in front of the world's nosiest teen. ]

[gumai]

[ YEAH IT IS!!!! ]

He's my type. That's all.

[makeine]

Do you wanna be his type?

[ sorry she's a bloodhound now ]

[gumai]

[ ............. looks away ]

I doubt I am. Which is fine, I don't want him to feel obligated to like me back.

[makeine]

That's not the question!

[ kicks


the ground, yeah. ]

Besides, you don't even know what it is, do you? Start there!

[gumai]

[ ughhghjkhdskjghg ]

He said he's only dated women. And he was ... uncomfortable with my interests.

[ the best read date can have of gustave being incredulous he was a pervert ]

[makeine]

You're a blatant pervert without an ounce of shame in speaking up, and speaking loudly, about what you're into while in polite company. Of course he's gonna be uncomfortable! That's third date stuff, Date-san!

[ another kick!!!!

to the ground. ]

Besides, you should communicate and ask him if he's uncomfortable with your openness. If it's a deal breaker, then it is. But if isn't... why not?

[gumai]

[ OH COME ON ]

I don't want to make him uncomfortable! But I can't not be myself, right?

[ HE THOUGHT THE FRENCH UNDERSTOOD HIM. ]

Fine though. I'll ask, but I don't think it's the problem. I think he has baggage from back home.

[makeine]

You can kind of not be yourself.

[ it's called decorum were you raised with the fucking animals??? said less meanly than it sounds though, more of a tease.

anna does seem to settle though. good. ]

And... yeah, I mean-- who doesn't? In my round, we had people ranging from the dead to world destroyers and everything in-between. [ it's why asa wanted to break their friendship, too. it's why anna felt so out of place, her troubles small compared to the enormity of everyone else. ] But the thing that was important was that we wanted to share that baggage with another shoulder.

[ it's fine to come in with burdens and ghosts still haunting your mind. ]

The point is is that, despite all that, he is here. And so are you. You know?

[gumai]

[ wow!!! he's just going to dismiss that because he can absolutely be himself.

but he's still kind of :\ even at her pep talk. mostly because he doesn't think anyone would want to share their baggage with him.

no, he's pretty sure this isn't going to work out and he shouldn't bother. of course! ]

He has a lot on his plate. I don't need to add to it.

[ did you NOT hear what she just said, date ]

[makeine]

[ the next kick is closer. ]

Wrong! You're gonna steal it off his plate, Date-san! Take the veggies he's leaving for last 'cause he doesn't like them and say they're your favorite!

[ huff!!!! ]

I know you think I don't know anything about love, but one thing I know for certain... is that because my own worries are so small and normal compared to my sweetheart's, I can take some things off his shoulders or at least make them easier to deal with. Because Will doesn't have to deal with them alone -- he has me, and the rest of his friends too, but there's no one else who's ever gotten to see just how stressful his work is except for me.

[ how stressful their season was, too. wanting everything for everyone and still... wanting something for himself too, actually wanting something. anna sighs. ]

Sure, adults have different troubles than a couple of teens, but you can at least be there for him as a friend, right? I think he'd appreciate that. And maybe more will happen, but you should at least consider it.

[ ...

she vaguely recalls... getting advice like this, too..... hmm............ she's not thinking about it. ]

[gumai]

[ Things Date can't help but think: you want him to eat Gustave's veggies? But he means it in a totally normal way, just looking at Anna a little incredulously.

Okay. He can eat his veggies. As a friend!! ]

I do want to be his friend... [ And kiss him so bad!!! What!! Who said that. ] I need to know more about what his life is like back home. I lost a few days there with him because of the kiss. [ It was AWKWARD and Gustave AVOIDED HIM. ] But if I can just... know what he needs....

[ Trailing off a little. This isn't hope!! But this is. Something. ]

[makeine]

[ sometimes you wanna kiss your very kind friend!!!!! she's been there!!!! she also just got engaged to him too-- ]

Then that's a good start. I'm satisfied with that, Date-san.

[ to point. she's gonna lay down. ]

You're pretty cute when you're flustered. I can see why Leslie-san might wanna pick on you.

[gumai]

[ oh, brutal hit to the solar plexus. date winces at that and gets more flustered. ]

Leslie is just... a very confident woman who knows what she wants. Though it's kind of hard to anyone else to figure out what that is.

[ he really wonders who her match is. still though, would. ]

[makeine]

She likes guys with expressive faces, so probably someone honest... Who doesn't mind surprises, given she's pretty close to her chest about stuff, and can be patient.

[ hmmmm. ]

I think the first part is the most important though. Leslie-chan wanted to keep it a surprise for me too, but she said that much, and she seemed pretty into hearing about Will and I too!

[gumai]

[ hmmm. that's a good hint. makes him go through his mental list of who is in the cast and — man, it couldn't be him, could it? oh geez. that would kill him.

though she wants someone honest and he, is not honest.

mumbling now — ]

Maybe Gregor...

[makeine]

[ ...

sitting up. ]

For real?

[ sorry he's like ground zero and she's only gotten goss from one person so far. ]

[gumai]

[ oh no is he about to toss out theories to anna... he didn't want to talk with her like this. rip. ]

Well, my first guess would be me or Gustave. But Gustave was proven wrong yesterday and I think I have some issues that might not make me a good fit for her.

But Gregor... he's a sincere kind of guy, expressive as well, and he seems like someone who could be patient. The sit quietly with her type. So, I don't know, I could see it.
