[Around town]

[With Valentines day fast approaching, 10032 has become concerned with what to do, and how to do it right considering the object of her affections is rather.. oblivious, she has to do it right.

And that means making chocolates herself. None of this store-bought stuff will do! And its frustrating, because for one, she doesn't know how to make chocolate. And she doesn't know what exactly to use to make it either, which is why she's sort of wandering around town, like looking at sappy v-day cards and the chocolates with them as if suddenly she'll have an epiphany and know how.

Eventually, she'll give up, and start questioning anyone she can see.]

'How do you make chocolate?' Misaka questions insistently considering the importance of the day coming up.

[ A swift nod. ] Awesome. Thanks for that. If I can do anything to help, let me know. I know sometimes the drones make it hard for girls to buy things, but I also know that the drone dad here has tools in the garage he never uses.

'Misaka will be fine. However, Misaka would like to go out on a date with you for Valentines day,' Misaka explains that she would like nothing more than to spend the day with you.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Staring. ] ...what?

That's already coming up? [ Touma continues to stare for a moment, but he's considering several things and not just that rather surprisingly straightforward proposal. His date with Tatsuki is set to be the afternoon before...

Oh. Clever girl. That totally escaped his notice. Touma scratches his head. ] Uh. I didn't have plans for that, either.

[misakanetwork]

'Then would you go out with Misaka on that date?' Misaka questions hopefully.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

This isn't going to end up like homecoming again, is it? [ Because that was pretty bad, all things considered. At least this time he's only, figuratively, being tugged from both sides and on separate days. ] What I meant was I didn't really want to do anything for that holiday. You never know if Mayfield's going to spring something on us, so it's not really the best time, ya know? [ A not entirely flimsy excuse. Look at all the holiday-related bullshit that happened after all. ]

[misakanetwork]

'It won't,' Misaka promises quickly to not let that happen. 'Please?' Misaka asks again as she promises she will not act strangely.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Oh come on Touma, think? There has to be a way to lessen the impact of such a left-field request. ] Look, it's really not a good time. Everywhere is going to be crowded on the holiday. You're not going to be the only one with the idea.

[misakanetwork]

'Exactly, and that is why Misaka has to act now,' Misaka points out the importance to her of this request.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

I don't mean they'll have the idea about me, Misaka. [ Everyone notices the connections to him except him. Go figure.

Did she suspect it? Did she already know?

...does it matter? These are important questions. ]

[misakanetwork]

'Misaka is not so sure of that,' Misaka explains honestly.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ ...he's going to go with "she suspects it". There's still a chance to dodge this. ] What gives you that idea?

[misakanetwork]

'Misaka met with another girl earlier,' Misaka reveals with a frown.

[840 Hastings] And Pip is an idiot. Always getting addresses mixed up, he is...

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ FUCK. He doesn't like where this is going... ] What'd she have to say?

>implying i even noticed 8)b

[misakanetwork]

'That you had a date with her,' Misaka points out, though does not believe this to be correct.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ That narrows things down a bit. ] With Arisawa? Well, you could call it a date...

[misakanetwork]

'Those were her words,' Misaka points out.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

She's the one who asked me, so I'm not surprised she'd put it that way.

[misakanetwork]

'That is why Misaka would like to spend time with you,' Misaka points out that she should be the one going on dates with you.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

I don't mind spending time with you — in fact, I noticed we haven't been doing much of that, which worried me. [ He's just... not going to touch the narration on that one. ]

brb being the absolute worst tagger ever Q_Q

[misakanetwork]

'Then.. Why not on that day?' Misaka points out that even effected by an event, we would still be spending time together.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ A tiny sigh. He sits back, arms propping him up, and gives her a look of surrender. ] Alright, then that night. But! If it's too crowded, we're bailing, okay? [ He dislikes crowds for the most part, here, because he likes being mindful of his surroundings and people-watching, and the more there are around the harder it gets. School was difficult enough at first, but at least there he can "blend in" easier. ]

;u; /bruises

[misakanetwork]

'Thank you,' Misaka replies in a greatly relieved tone.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ This cannot possibly end well, but he's also not ready to drop the bomb just yet. Let her have one date for herself and maybe then it'll be easier. Maybe. Hopefully. ] Now it's your idea so you get to make the arrangements. Just let me know where I need to be. [ So that he doesn't have to end up getting dragged there. ]
