After heavy breathing into a paper bag (which he'd heard from somewhere was supposed to help in situations like this, but he found it really only left him light headed), and a good half hour's pacing, he sat back down at the computer to compost a reply to....Jet.
Subject: Re:Do you actually use this site? Body: Jet, Hello. -Kiku.
It felt...lacking, but there was nothing else he could say. He could not start the conversation. The words were not coming...So he would rely on the boldness of this other person.
To be expected. Thera nodded at the screen. He was fairly prompt, all things considered. She had assumed that Kiku would spend at least an hour panicking. And he bought the name hook, line, and sinker. Things were going better than expected already.
Now to get back into character....
Thera's fingers wiggled over the keyboard.
Subject: Re:Do you actually use this site? Body: I like your profile. It's a lot like mine. I saw that you're from Liberty. I am too.
Kiku read the reply. Got up. Got a glass of water. Sat down. And then repeated the process....before settling down to reply.
Subject: Re:Do you actually use this site? Body: Jet, It is surprising to find someone with similar interests to mine, especially in Liberty. I rather enjoy the thought. -Kiku
Was it...it was forward of him to say that, wasn't it?n Or was it rather too vague? Before he could change his mind and spend more time agonizing, he clicked send.

Thera had really outdone herself this time! She straightened in her chair excitedly. Yao will be so pleased.
Subject: Re:Do you actually use this site?
Body: Me too. It could be fun to spend some time together. Do you have weekend plans?
A little risky, but Kiku needed a bit of risk now and then. He might actually like it, even. She crossed her fingers and pressed 'send'.
