I haven't talked to you much, but that icon of you with what looks like ice-cream definitely looks like a girl.

[special_student]

I had to wear a wig ;_; Everyone at my school except for the Host Club automatically takes me for a guy. It doesn't bug me really, but it's surprising that when not in person, it's so easily the other way.

[maraihi]

I'd say it's that icon.
Online, everyone still gets my gender wrong.

[special_student]

Ah, that makes sense.
Really? That's strange. I mean, you're feminine, but femininity doesn't automatically mean female. Are you an okama?

[maraihi]

I'm not from Japan. You'll have to tell me what an okama is.

[special_student]

Uhm, a man who dresses in women's clothes? My dad works as one... sort of like... ano....a drag queen?

[maraihi]

I'm not sure. It's definitely not "work". And I can wear men's clothing just as much as I can wear women's clothing; I don't really care either way, as long as it looks good.

[special_student]

Oh, okay.
That's interesting, I've never met someone who just does it for fun occasionally. Unless Host Club counts *facepalm*

[maraihi]

People don't dress up for fun on your world?

[special_student]

Men don't usually dress in women's clothes, is all. Except maybe on Halloween some of them will, but that's all.

[maraihi]

They should try it more often. There needs to be a lot more pretty men.

[special_student]

But, that would defeat the point of Host Club! It's special because there are seven of us, if every guy at the school was beautiful, we'd be useless. God, why do I sound like Tamaki when I say that?

Besides, men, women and beauty aren't everything.

[maraihi]

It's not everything, but it's something.

[special_student]

I don't think they matter very much at all.

[maraihi]

Now you're just being hypocritical or blind. You just said that if every guy in your school was beautiful then your whole club would be useless.

In other words, you're working based off your looks and then coming here and telling me that you think they don't matter. Would you be at that job if you were hideous?

If you're going to go the normal route of people denying that looks matter to them, at least don't make it so obvious that they play a part in your life.

((Fixed an error :3))

[special_student]

They don't matter to me--it's that they matter to other people. Besides, I don't get paid for this job. I just enjoy hanging out with the rest of the Host Club.

Tamaki-senpai would feel useless, no doubt, but the rest of us would just go on with whatever we'd been doing before the club. It wouldn't be as entertaining, certainly, but it wouldn't be the end of the world.
