...a dating auction, really?

[i_love_squats]

Mmmhm! Just something interesting and fun, and maybe it'd get people to make some new friends. [And he's proud of his idea; it shows in his voice.] It'd be innocent, you know, and we can use the money for the memorial and for feeding some of the less fortunate around here.

[yetsleeping]

That's a little--

[WELL. On one hand it's a little uncomfortable... if you've been sold into slavery before. As she has been. But on the other hand, that's really just a knee-jerk reaction and doesn't have much to do with the actual idea. So. Hm.]

[She tips her head a little.]

--well. That's a good point! And of course it would be innocent; I didn't think you were, um. Going into. ... another line of work.

[...coughcough.]

Good idea!

[i_love_squats]

[Poor Priscilla. :(

[He laughs a little, a tiny bit, and smiles into the camera.] Well, I don't plan on opening a Honey Bee Inn anytime soon down in Dismas, I can tell you that.

Do you wanna sign up?

[firebornfidelis]

A 'dating' auction?

[i_love_squats]

Yep! I figured it'd be good since you don't need any revenue to start it up, and fun. Give us a chance to mingle, you know?

Do you like it?

[firebornfidelis]

...

I guess it's practical enough. And for a worthy cause.

[i_love_squats]

See? Glad you agree! Can I, ah, count on your support? [i.e. sign you up to strut your pretty stuff.]

[inpiecesofcloud]

Who's Kunsel, Zack-Zack?

[video]

[i_love_squats]

Aweeeesome, that's who. Or what. He's from my world and was SOLDIER in with me.

Did you get a chance to talk to him?

[video]

[inpiecesofcloud]

Uh. Nope.

[She saw that there were some new people, but only noticed them enough to be disappointed that they weren't Kenpachi.]

So he's your friend from home?

[video]

[i_love_squats]

[Oh, Yachiru...]

Yep. He's a good guy. Likes candy. [Actually, he's not sure about that last part, but he's throwing it in for good measure.] Has a sword, too.

[voice | private] 1/2

[girl_unlocking]

That's a great idea!

I talked to Byakuya about getting a list of names, and I'm gonna ask around the network, probably today.

There were rats in the muffins and now I have to make all these---

---it doesn't matter. I'll get right on this! I think Alphonse can help, too. Kunsel's from your world? That's awesome! It's always nice when the Door's ...um, nice.

I guess I should throw some candy back in Anatole's jar.

[voice | nonprivate ; and then private] 2/2

[girl_unlocking]

I'm in. For the date, I mean? Cause. I guess I should be if it's for the memorial, huh?

[private]
Um. What about signing someone else up? I know Spike'll want to do this.

[voice | Oh, Dawny! You're never allowed to develop a caffeine addiction.]

[i_love_squats]

Glad you think so! I was hoping you'd like it. And think you can make muffins for the event for some refreshments? You know, if the rats can stay out of them. [Hmph.] I bet that if we mass-produced some mouse traps right now, we'd make a KILLING.

And yeah! Kunsel's from my world. Get a chance to talk to him yet? I can guarantee that you guys would get along great. I bet he'd even help with this auction... If I have anything to say about it.

Are...are you sure? [Because overprotective mode a bit? That's okay; he'll screen who bids on you, missy. :P ]

[Private]

Sure! I mean, who doesn't want to help charity?

[That would be terrible and all the typing would make my hands fail!]

[girl_unlocking]

We so totally CAN! Um. What kind? Well. I'm pretty sure we can. I need to ask Al before I say ye---

[private]

[off-forge muffled talkiness]

---yes. [Al was pinged by the word muffins.]

[Whispering] Can we make sure that he gets the credit for them and not me? He's a little. I was kinda. Uh, there was a thing. I've been ...I kinda took him for granted?

But yeah, we can. I mean he can. It's cool.

It shouldn't be that weird? It doesn't have to be a real date, does it? I mean ...that would be weird. Unless it was----

Uh. Anyway. I figure I should so I don't look like a hypocrite and stuff.

Well. That Mello guy wasn't very keen on the idea. But maybe he was okay with the charity part and it was just the memorial part that pissed him off?

[...]

Kunsel's NICE! Like, really nice. Which is good because we do not need any more jerks here. Someone should tell that door. Or put up a sign. No. Jerks. Or maybe the jerks should wear signs so that we can see them coming. Surprise jerks? The WORST. [Says the girl that thinks Aizen is

[halcyonthird]

I have not seen Angeal.

[Is that worry under there? Maybe.]

[Voice | Private]

[i_love_squats]

[Sighs. Don't worry, ma'am; you're not the only one.]

Thanks for letting me know.

[Pause.]

How are you, ah, feeling?

[Voice | Private]

[halcyonthird]

You're welcome.

[private]
[Oh. That.]

My armor is much more agreeable.

[Buckles don't fight you when you're sober. And was that almost a ...joke?]

I'm fine, now. You?

[...]

Is it always that bad the day after?

[Voice | Private]

[i_love_squats]

[He laughs.]

Shame about that armor. I almost like it better when it's stubborn.

[Flirting? Him? Nevah!]

It'll take more than some binge drinking to keep me down. And, um, yeah. It usually is. It's why moderation is best.

But it sure is worth it, isn't it?
