[OOC]

[chancellorakira]

Hmph. My normal sources for information would be rather useless for this kind of endeavor, so I suppose I am left with little option.

What does one do if they are to attempt...to be forward, with another person, with whom their relationship is mostly professional. In an attempt to make their relationship...more than the aforementioned.

Comments

[kanandesu]

That would depend. Are they your boss, or are you their boss, or are you just coworkers?

[chancellorakira]

....theoretically.

They would be my superior.

[kanandesu]

Huh... well there goes the tried and true 'take advantage of your power,' and if you're too forward and they don't like it it won't end well either...

Hrm...

Ever tried being caught accidentally in a compromising position to see how he reacted? Short skirt, bending over to pick something up, that kind of thing?

[chancellorakira]

They would not be particularly phased by something so juvenile.

[kanandesu]

Hrm... maybe they aren't interested in your body? Does your boss treat you any different than your coworkers? Or has he said anything potentially incriminating to anyone else?

[chancellorakira]

They have no reason to be interested in my body. It's nothing particularly special to look at.

I'm treated as one of my standing should expect to be treated by their boss relatively to the rest of my coworkers.

....no comment.

[kanandesu]

Hrmmm...

Has he ever said or done anything in secret that would make his girlfriend jealous? (If he had one. I mean, I'm guessing if he was taken we wouldn't be having this talk right now... so... uhh..)

Ah! Has he said anything that would make me want to draw something? If so, that means he may at least be a little into you!

[chancellorakira]

Everything makes you want to draw something, Miyamoto.

[kanandesu]

Yeah, but not everything makes me want to draw doujin art...

Come on. Give me the touching, heartfelt moment between you, the biggest one. If it inspires me and the result's good, there's at least something there, right?

I mean, I always sold better with those other ships than my OTP anyways... those stories had to be better quality somehow.

[chancellorakira]

...After I failed on something of some importance, I went to someone besides them, thinking if they learned of my failure, it would mean the end of my life.

After realizing my mistake, they eventually found me, offended that I had not come to them first. When I explained, they said...for better or worse, she owned me.

It's the closest they've come to expressing concern or pride in me in...years.

[kanandesu]

So they think of you as property... hrm-hrm.

That could be either really good for what you want, or really bad.

[chancellorakira]

Hrmph.

How exactly is that.

[kanandesu]

Well... see... if they think of you as property, then either that means they want to keep you all to themselves and never let anyone else have you (In other words, LOVE!!) or else they just... see you as nothing more than a monetary investment and don't care at all.

Fifty-fifty at this point.

[chancellorakira]

....fifty-fifty, huh?

That doesn't sound very good.

[kanandesu]

Yes, well, if I had more information to go on, it might get more clear... but if they just treat you like a lamp or a table then it's hard to tell.

If they're possessive about you, though...

Then it's looking better for you.

[chancellorakira]

Frankly, I feel like I've committed a horrible sin telling you even this much.
