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 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.

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

[...He just stares. You're the first person to pull this on him. Silvites have no need for silly things like pinky promises. :|b]

...Okay?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He reaches up and takes Ramirez's hand, hooking their pinkies together.]

There. Now you can't break the promise, understand?

[He lets go and smiles.]

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

[And he is going to look severely uncomfortable throughout this whole process. In fact, Souji will probably feel him stiffen and jerk back a little once he touches him. Ramirez doesn't particularly care for contact. He withdraws his hand the second Souji lets him go, rubbing it nervously against the side of his pants.]

Alright. Fine.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He notices that and keeps it in mind for later.]

I'm sorry if I upset you. But I do hope you come to see us. It's no fun being alone.

[targetprime.livejournal.com]

[...It's so hard to keep this up. Souji continuously proves to be completely unruffled by him. Plus, costume or not, he still seems pretty feminine; it's throwing him off his game. He was always nicer to girls. :(

So...he may be softening a little. Maybe. Just a little. BUT IT'S NOT LIKE HE LIKES YOU OR ANYTHING.]

...No, don't trouble yourself. I was just surprised.

...It's a kind offer, but I wouldn't want to put your companions in an uncomfortable position; I don't particularly know anyone in your household.

[Backpedal. Backpedal. This is actually true though; he would feel pretty awkward just dropping by.]
