Well...at least I can move the mask to the side. How is everyone else doing with their costumes? Isn't the town interesting? I've never seen anything like it! It's so strange~

[Souji is dressed like this with a mask like the ones to the right, but moved to the side so it doesn't cover his face. He doesn't like his costume at all. It brings back bad memories. But taking it off did nothing and he hates just sitting in his room all day.

If people are out and about, he can be found just about anywhere in town looking at the decorations, poking at the buildings, or taking Saizou for a walk. Eventually, he'll end up back at House 50 with Saizou in tow so he can feed the little piglet before the pig decides to eat someone.]

I apologize if he was rude to you earlier.

[He looks down at the pig.] Saizou, say you're sorry to Ramirez-san.

[The pig just grunts again and gets up to sit behind Souji.] He can be such a handful sometimes. Ah! But I like your costume. It's very Western.

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

[...Whatever, pig. As long as you don't harass him again. But Souji's comment causes him to look down at his new getup, frowning in the process. Western, huh?]

Is it?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Yes. I think I've seen pictures of people wearing such clothing.

[He smiles and tucks his hands behind his back.]

But why so unhappy?

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

I'll trade.

[He wouldn't mind a mask. But hey, what-]

What do you mean?

[He always looks like this. :|]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

If only that were possible~

[Pfft, oh you.]

Why don't you come off your porch? When I passed by, you seemed to be very intent on your costume.

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

I don't like being forced into things. I was seeing if there was any sort of loophole to it.

[And was bitterly defeated. Sigh.]

But it seems impossible.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Well, they are the Malnossos' doing, so I don't think there would be much of a loophole.

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

Perhaps not, but I thought I might as well try.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Trying is always good. I'm sorry it didn't work out.

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

...It's fine. It's not so much of a bother that I can't leave the house.

[Which is more than he can say for some other costumes. Urgh.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

That's good. It's no fun to be stuck inside.

[Whee~ Okita is so glad he's figured out where you live, Ramirez. You're now completely screwed from here on out.]

So this is where you live, huh~?

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

[Sad thing is he's pretty used to how being screwed in life feels.]

...I suppose.

[No use in making up any bullshit excuse. Sigh.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Then you should come over! We're in House 50 and Ayumu-san makes the best meals~

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

I'll remember your offer.

]But he makes no promise to actually go. :|a He's far too antisocial to just knock on someone's door out of the blue.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Promise you'll come some time. It really is worth the trip.

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

I'll see what I can do.

[AGAIN WITH HIS VAGUE ANSWERS. This is pretty normal until he gains some degree of...affection...for you. And even then he's still pretty evasive.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I'll hold you to that~

I'll even make sure Saizou behaves - [Behind him, the pig grunts unhappily] - so we can all enjoy a meal together.

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

[How about we just eat him instead.]

That's kind of you.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[How about no. :| ]

Good! Then I'll tell Ayumu-san to expect another for dinner!

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

[...Oh shit.]

...Today?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Are you busy this evening?

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

...It's not really the most optimal time for a dinner party.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Hm...that's true. Then...How about once all the Halloween things are over?

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

We'll see.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[And he holds out his pinky finger.]

Make that a promise or I'll keep bothering you.
