Well, Valentine's Day. {...} had seen a fair few of those go by in his time as a zombie, and they never seemed to change-- candy he couldn't eat, love he couldn't share in, just another day of another year as one of the undead.

Loitering by a wall, {...}'s face was as blank as ever, standing stiff and unmoving. Even if he was apathetic towards the holiday itself, he liked how it was gathering people together. Something about being around people like this, happy people... it made him feel fulfilled.

Walking into the lounge, Asuka realized right away that it was Valentine's Day. Even though this was the American celebration of the holiday, it still meant it was February 14th. And to her, it was imperative that she have a boyfriend to share the day with. She'd always had some goon by her armside when she'd celebrated in the past.

Looking about, she tried to find some schmuck she could use for that purpose. Some attractive armcandy might help improve her image around the train. Nearby, there was some weirdo that at least didn't look too bad. Stomping toward him, she yelled, "HEY! YOU!"

"Hm?" Looking over to Asuka, {...} tilted his head slightly-- surprised, but not showing it especially well. He wasn't expecting anyone to talk to him. Oh well. "What do you want?"

cantbeadoll February 12 2011, 04:09:54 UTC

"You're over here by yourself. Don't you feel pitiful right about now?" It was harsh, but then again, Asuka's middlename might as well have been Harsh rather than Langley...

"There's not much I can do with the others," he said calmly. "I can't eat." There was a flutter of upset inside him at the thought of his withered organs.

She quirked her eyebrow at that. Now that was odd. Still, he seemed to be her only viable option here.

"I'm going to cut to the chase. I need a boyfriend for today." Asuka stated. "And you're the only respectable male in the room."

memory_cranes February 12 2011, 04:22:50 UTC

"Boyfriend?" {...} looked worried for a minute, even more self-conscious than before. Try as he might to push it off as nothing, being undead made him somewhat... sensitive about romance, false or otherwise. "I don't know if I'm the best choice. Or if I'm exactly respectable."

cantbeadoll February 12 2011, 04:27:43 UTC

"Well, why not? You're not ugly or stupid looking. Although something does seem off about you..." Well, his skin did look a little discolored, but it wasn't that big of a deal on a train with freaky bear creatures and bug-like jerks. "It's just until the day is over! Then you can go back to sulking in whatever dark corner you choose!"

When she said that, the next song began to play. Asuka turned around, looking at an empty space in the lounge and started to get some ideas.

"I--" he paused, wondering whether or not to point out the fact he was dead, and then settled for not mentioning it. She didn't seem like the type who'd care, and besides, maybe he did need to get out there and have fun like the others. It was worth a shot. "... I'll go along with it, I suppose."

cantbeadoll February 12 2011, 04:34:44 UTC

Grinning a little, she wrapped her arm around his. "Come on! Let's show them what a happy couple we make!" Then she proceeded to lead him down to the 'dance floor'.

memory_cranes February 12 2011, 04:40:00 UTC

Following her silently, {...}'s face still showed concern. He was getting the sinking feeling that he was getting out of his depth... and that she was the type of girl liable to tear his arm off. He mentally crossed his fingers, hoping he'd still have all of them at the end of the day.

cantbeadoll February 12 2011, 04:41:11 UTC

"Let's dance and you'd better look happy about it. You frown too much." She said, wearing a frown herself.

memory_cranes February 12 2011, 04:49:51 UTC

Her hypocrisy was noticed, but went unmentioned by {...}.

"I'll try to smile," he mumbled.

cantbeadoll February 12 2011, 04:51:42 UTC

After mumbling some curses in german, she held both of his arms and closed in on him. She didn't get too close, mind you, just enough to be convincing. "Okay, just move to the music and say that you love being with me really loud."

memory_cranes February 12 2011, 07:52:49 UTC

Despite generally being stiff and, well, corpse-like, {...} began to dance smoothly, perfectly in time to the music. He wasn't attempting any particular style-- just sort of swaying, and moving his arms elegantly.

"I just want to tell you," unfortunately, his acting wasn't as good as his dancing. "That I really love being with you." Try as he might, he couldn't inspire any emotion in that deadpan voice of his, and the moment after he had spoken he pressed his mouth tightly closed again.

cantbeadoll February 12 2011, 15:30:44 UTC

This date wasn't going like she planned. No one seemed to be paying attention to her and the guy she had picked was just so...emotionless. Nevertheless, she had to continue the act or seem like a loser for the rest of the day. She feigned a laugh and said, "Thank you, darling~!"

As she stood near him, she noticed some of his scars around his neck area. Figuring he must have gotten a bad injury, she felt a little more sympathetic toward him.
