Relationships

[answerer_sword]

[It had been a week since Bazett had made her big mistake. A week since she had last spoken to Hayate. She had thought to herself whether or not she should just ignore it and let it fade from memory, since Hayate seemed to have adjusted well.]

[However, every time she is tempted to do that, she is hit by a fresh wave of guilt. Surely, Hayate was putting on an act to keep her from feeling guilty. And even if Hayate did not mind, Bazett would always remember and regret ravishing her friend and superior. Also, seeing as this is a small town, what would happen to Hayate if everyone found out Bazett's indiscretion? How much pain would she have to go through? Could she really hide like a coward and let Hayate bare the rumors and the subsequent social rejection?]

[There is no other way. Bazett would have to take responsibility. However, she has absolutely no idea on how to ask anyone out on a date, much less asking them to enter into a stable relationship. This is why she is currently putting out a call to the rest of Mayfield.]

1. Phone (public; filtered away from drones and Hayate Yagami)

...How do you ask someone on a date? Or...um...how do you ask them to be your girlfiend...?

2. Phone (private to Rin Tohsaka)

Tohsaka, there are matters that I wish to discuss with you.

3. Phone (private to Hayate Yagami)

Commander, could you please meet me at Makeout Point tonight at 7:00 sharp? I have important matters that I need to discuss.

4. Florist

[This is the second time Bazett has gone into the flower shop, but she looks even more guilty than the first time.]

Roses, roses...where are the roses?

5. Makeout Point (locked to Hayate Yagami)

[Bazett stands at the point, holding a large boquet of roses and blushing redder than a beet. She mentally goes through all her lines and actions. Tonight has to be absolutely perfect. Hayate deserved no worse.]

Beats me, I'm not very good at it.

Is this about Hayate?

Re: Phone

[answerer_sword]

[She does not know how to answer this. On the one hand, she does not wish to lie. On the other, she does not wish to tell the girl the details either.]

Does it matter?

[drank_the_milk]

Right, so it's about Hayate. Good luck!

[Yuyuko doesn't seem to be paying much attention, she's sitting at the counter scribbling something down on the back of a scrap of paper. While originally she was going to take the day off, she got bored of being around the house. It's only when Bazett raises her voice that she takes notice]

Huh? Oh, roses...

[She mulls around the store, trying to find them. Obviously taking her time]

What colour would you like? White seems to be becoming more popular these days.

Re: ✿ Florist

[answerer_sword]

R-red ones. The ones you would give to a lover...

[ex_bloomnobly385]

[She fetches the requested flowers without much hassle]

Ah, making a proposal are we? Good luck, I hope they say yes.

[phone]

[noluckduck]

Duh, just ask.

Re: [phone]

[answerer_sword]

This is not something that can be handled casually. I want this to be perfect. What sort of presents should I bring? What sort of place should I take her?

[noluckduck]

Hey, I'm no expert. How the hell would I even know what a girl likes?

I mean. Romantically.

[Having gotten her call, Hayate didn't question it. But it sounded important so she was there dressed in a cute sundress with a wide brim hat to make it look nice. She checked her watch. 6:55PM...]

Re: 5

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett would have rushed over to Hayate at this point, but her body has frozen up. She desperately tries to review her plans again, but all the information has frozen up inside her mind.]

[In the end, she is left standing there, looking a little foolish.]

Re: 5

[lil_tanuki]

[Click. Click. Click. 7PM. And Hayate looks up at Bazett, smiling brightly.] You came, like you said you would.

[gandere]

This better be worth my time, Bazett. I have a full weekend ahead of me.

[ Someone's short and dismissive today. ]

Re: private;

[answerer_sword]

Fine. I will ask you then. Is it true that you and Lancer are in a committed romantic relationship?

private;

[gandere]

That's a matter I don't have to discuss with you. If you dare bring it up with him, I'll command him to never speak to you again, so think twice before going behind my back to ask him.

[phone]

[selfobservation]

Just do it.

But be carefu...you might ruin something.

Re: [phone]

[answerer_sword]

But...what about the romantic component?

Re: [phone]

[selfobservation]

What do you mean, what about it?

phone

[heartmaestro]

...why not simply say it outright?

[She found herself alright with speaking on the phone to the other woman, but couldn't quite bring herself to do anything otherwise since the unfortunate regain incident...none the less her voice sounds incredibly shaky and quiet.]

Re: phone

[answerer_sword]

I also need a way to make it sound romantic. This...is a serious matter.

[She pauses for a second.]

And...Ichinose. About last time...forgive me. I should not have said all that to you.

[heartmaestro]

Perhaps take into account what this person likes, and go from there.

[A pause from Kotomi.]

I see.

Phone

[adropofjupiter]

...

Are you seriously asking this question?

Why did I bother answering the phone...

Re: Phone

[answerer_sword]

Yes, I am absolutely serious. I require a romantic way to ask a certain woman to become my girlfriend. You have a lover, right, Kirisame? How did you propose to her?

[in the same boat as marisa over here.

...

for real?]

Ah.

[sorry a bit too stunned to give advice atm...]

Re: 1

[answerer_sword]

Miss...Ciel?

[Of all the people to hear and respond...]
