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.]

[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...]

[ex_seventh238]

That's me, miss McRemitz.

[:v she did call like everyone more or less...]

[answerer_sword]

Do you...have any romantic advice for me then, Ciel.

[Since Ciel is so knowledgable on everything, she should have good suggestions, right?]

[ex_seventh238]

[SIGH]

I suppose I can try. Just asking them on a date?

[answerer_sword]

I need a way to do it romantically.

[ex_seventh238]

How about dinner at L'Déplaisant? There's the Louvre Hotel too, and you can drive up to Makeout Point to watch the stars. You have a lot of options, honestly. What's the other person like? [mildly surprised she got over Lancer, tbh...]

[answerer_sword]

I suppose Makeout Point would be a start...

[It is an isolated place, perfect for a confession.]

I heard...that you needed some sort of music as well.

[ex_seventh238]

...

Really? Not necessarily... Where have you heard that?

[answerer_sword]

Another person who answered my call. She claimed that I needed to play "touchy-feely" music.

[ex_seventh238]

You could if you're having them over to your house for a private dinner. But otherwise, that'd be inconvenient to set up, not to mention very impractical.

[answerer_sword]

I see. So if I were on Makeout Point, I would not require music...or should I just substitute record players for singing?

[ex_seventh238]

...

Are you any good at it?

[>Bazett serenading

...

u n s u r e ...!]

[answerer_sword]

...Father Kotomine said once that I should sing more while I was drunk.

[Then again, it could have easily been taken either way.]

[ex_seventh238]

...That doesn't sound very convincing, I'm sorry. [straight face here too...]

[answerer_sword]

I understand. No singing.

[At least, now when she was sober.]

[ex_seventh238]

Mm. ...I have you a few ideas already, so what do you think?

[answerer_sword]

I think some idea of what I should do. Thank you, Ciel.

[ex_seventh238]

Is that all?

[unsure of bazett's success rate...]

[answerer_sword]

Yes, that would be all. Even if she rejects me, I will accept it because it is what she wants.

[ex_seventh238]

Don't sound so fatalistic about it, sheesh. Anyway, best of luck, I suppose. [this is still kinda trippy ngl...]

[answerer_sword]

This decision is completely up to her. I am...simply doing my duty. Thank you for encouragement.

[ex_seventh238]

Now that's wrong. Duty and love tend to go in opposite directions, you know. Unless you meant something else by that?

[answerer_sword]

...I have already said too much.

[ex_seventh238]

...

Suit yourself, but if you wanted advice, that's probably the most meaningful bit that I can give you right now. [Duty and love go in opposite directions, that is.]
