[ Passerby browsing through the Goldenrod Department Store late this afternoon might happen across Yagyuu and his Espeon, Lady, perusing the aisles with a leisurely air. For people watching particularly closely, one might notice that the two of them spend a fair amount of time lingering over the potions and TMs on display; every so often, Yagyuu ( Read more... )

always glorious always victorious, the perils of dramatic irony, such a nice boy, teammates whaaaar, disillusioning the youth, no really i'm the responsible one, trolling second-years never gets old, birthday shenanigans are imminent, ▶ goldenrod city, a lady and her gentleman, quite obviously up to something

[...]

I hate to be the one to tell you this, Yagyuu-kun, but those are both terrible gift ideas.

[text] usedlaserbeam September 24 2011, 03:35:49 UTC

Ah, do you think so, Oshitari-kun? I'd thought them both sensible and practical choices.

[text] sfaccendato September 24 2011, 05:12:19 UTC

That's precisely why they're terrible. No one wants sensible gifts for their birthday, they want fun gifts.

I could be daring and get black socks instead of white ones.

[text] sfaccendato September 24 2011, 06:42:37 UTC

Think more along the lines of bright red with tennis balls on them.

[text] usedlaserbeam September 24 2011, 06:43:53 UTC

...I could but the thought is nothing short of horrifying.

[text] sfaccendato September 24 2011, 06:50:00 UTC

But the recipient would enjoy them, is the point here.

[text] usedlaserbeam September 24 2011, 06:51:18 UTC

I had no idea you were so attuned to the recipient's sense of fashion.

[text] sfaccendato September 24 2011, 06:53:43 UTC

I'm making an educated guess given the recipient's other interests.

[text] usedlaserbeam September 24 2011, 06:55:16 UTC

I'm curious why you chose red.

[text] sfaccendato September 24 2011, 07:00:48 UTC

Isn't it obvious?

[text] usedlaserbeam September 24 2011, 07:02:50 UTC

Because it's the alternative to yellow?

[text] sfaccendato September 24 2011, 07:07:38 UTC

Yellow socks with tennis balls on them would just be hideous.

[text] usedlaserbeam September 24 2011, 07:10:55 UTC

But I thought the recipient's enjoyment was the only factor to take into consideration? Regardless of the hideousness of the gift.

[text] sfaccendato September 24 2011, 07:15:24 UTC

Well, yes, but you have to have at least a nod in the direction of aesthetics, or your teammate will have hideous socks and it'll be your fault.

The tennis balls wouldn't stand out on yellow, in any case. Yellow socks would have to have bees on them instead.

[text] usedlaserbeam September 24 2011, 07:17:35 UTC

That might be a bit much, even for a birthday gift. I don't know that I could suffer the acquaintance of a teammate whose ankles were covered in bees.
