[Intro Post]

[brightburnright]

I suppose I have finally found the time to use the school's journal community. I should be trying to go to greater lengths to connect with my fellow students, and this seems to be the best method of it to do so, by all rights

Man, why couldn't there have been more girls like you when I was going to DA?

Uh, not for myself so much, but do you perchance know a girl by the name of Shinoko? She might use Eusebius or Shimofuri as her family name.

[brightburnright]

Oh, yes.

I'm aware of Miss Eusebius. She is another student I'm hoping to get the attention of, actually.

[pureplainpatron]

Ah, good. And good luck with that. She could use some help.

I would, but I think she'd do the opposite of what I'd want, just to spite me.

[brightburnright]

She does seem to be a bit troublesome, in some cases. But I'm determined to help pick her up.

Are you a relative of hers?

[pureplainpatron]

She kinda went 'teenage rebellion' with full force.

Uh. Sort. Of. I'm her adoptive father.

[brightburnright]

... I was going to say, you seem a bit young to have been the biological father of a girl of that age...

Are you... Erland Eusebius? I think I've heard of you, before.

Something about being a bit infamous, when pursuing girls.

[pureplainpatron]

Yeah, no way could I be her biological father.

...yeah, that's me. I guess my reputation has preceded me. Though, like all things, they tend to be a bit... exaggerated.

[brightburnright]

Yes, I'm aware of how reputations, or even word of mouth, can become too much to handle.

I'll admit I'm surprised. I expected a bit more... Pink.

[pureplainpatron]

Whisper down the alley effect, yes.

I mostly retired the pink shirt once I graduated a year or two ago.

[brightburnright]

That would explain it, yes.

Don't worry, Mr. Eusebius. I'll be sure to take care of your daughter, in this case.

[pureplainpatron]

Thanks, and sorry in advance for the trouble.

...also, could you maybe call me 'Erland'? "Mr. Eusebius" makes me feel old.

[brightburnright]

... I suppose, if I must.

[pureplainpatron]

Thanks. Nothing makes you feel old like a pretty young girl calling you 'mister'.

[brightburnright]

I would think that anyone calling you "mister" would elicit that response-- not just "pretty young girls".

[pureplainpatron]

Well, little children is one thing... everything seems old to them.

When it's coming from people within 5 years of you, though...

[brightburnright]

Your style of dress does encourage it.
