[The feed starts with a hunched as usual but somewhat more srs bsns Minato. Anyone familiar with the idea of going to school - you'd guess that this is what he looks like when he's doing an oral presentation/has to speak in public.]If I may have a moment of everyone's time, this is to anyone who may have expressed interest at the Carnival trip that

The carnival, huh...?

[carpo_vita]

The one at the Industrial Disctrict, yes. Would you be interested, Dominic?

[unfearful]

Ah... I'm afraid I'll pass.

[Bad memory of that place. :|]

May I ask why, if I'm not prying?

[unfearful]

That's...

[A pause]

I didn't really enjoy myself the last time I was there.

[It's hard to be happy when your love interest just left and even more so after running into Vincent.]

[carpo_vita]

It'll be different this time. [That didn't sound good, so let's not pursue it any further. ...He can try to convince him anyway, though, and it's true - no matter how Dominic's trip there last time may have been, there's no way that the exact same experience could be repeated this time.

For better or worse is still up in the air, but let's try to convince him a bit anyway.] There's probably going to be new people, and we can all try out different things together.

[unfearful]

[Dominic doesn't know what to say for a few moments, because this whole "hanging out with others" thing is still just very... new to him.]

I suppose...

[carpo_vita]

[You can do iiiit (/*^*)/]

Even if you grow tired of the rides and game booths, we can still talk and hang out. It's what friends do. No one is forced to come, though I'd like it if you do. [A light smile - c'mooon. :3<]

[unfearful]

[As long as you don't mind his social awkwardness...

He's quiet again, before smiling softly in return.]

... I guess I'll come, then.

[carpo_vita]

[Naaaaaw. He's dealt with all sorts of social weirdoes people at home. :3c You're actually pretty normal to him, just... very reserved. About time you get more friends here anyway, Dominic. o/]

Then I must do my best to make this worth your while. [/icon. Linefacing, but there's a smile in his eyes.]

[unfearful]

[This is all very sweet. And thus incredibly awkward for him.]

Ah... thank you.

[carpo_vita]

[Dominic this is what normal people your age do. YOU'LL GET THE HANG OF IT. SOMEDAY. :|b]

You're welcome. I'll see you this Sunday, Dominic.

[unfearful]

[Ffffft, normal.

He nods.]

Yeah...

[carpo_vita]

[NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN. You can always try. :3c]

Please take care until then.

[unfearful]

[What do you think he's been doing for the past ten months, sob.]

You too.
