[Video/Action]
[It had taken awhile, but Tohko had finally managed to get everything made and had fond out just how to get the video settings to work. She'll be standing there, smiling, with a table behind her and a pile of presents on it..as well as a basket of fruit. A small mailbox sat on the corner of the table, separate from everything else.]
Good morning! Would the following people please come to the third floor: Rei, Romeo, Saber, Wilhelm, Tetra, France, Prussia, Lancer, 'Azazello'-aka The Brown Testament, and 'Behemoth'-aka The other Testament.
It may be a little late, but I still want to hand you guys Christmas presents, so please do show up!
[Filtered to Rei Ayanami and Rise Kujikawa]
Oh..and would Rei and Rise please meet me here as well, together? There's something I want to ask the both of you.

That's true! It would be rather uncomfortable for everyone. And yeah, putting up monthly ads might be a good idea. That way, people won't forget about the mailboxes! Hopefully a few people will respond to them. It'd be great if we could help a few people.
[And get a few sweet stories in return. However, Tohko then pauses, reminded of something.]
..By the way, you wanted to hear how it went between Enoch and I, right?
[Action]
[All other thoughts and questions are instantly shoved aside when Tohko brings up her own love life.]
Ooh, yeah! What happened?
[Rise was still smiling hopefully, but...Tohko didn't look super-excited about things, like she was bubbling with excitement or happiness, which had her a little worried already.]
[Action]
[Tohko then chuckled nervously and scratched her head. She kept smiling though.]
Basically, he said that any love he had for me was like a brother to his sister or a father to his daughter and that it would be too unsettling to try and make anything else out of it. He was sorry that he had to say that though, and we both agreed that we could still be friends.
[ooc: Here's the whole thing if you want to read it and rip your heart out.]
[Action] ;__;
Uh, yeah...we should ask Rei-chan first to be sure she doesn't have something in mind...
[Rise visibly deflated a little, because unrequited love was a hard, sad thing, and to be told that the other person did care, and did consider you special, but not the way you wanted them to...that was flat-out heartwrenching.]
...Oh no...and I even told you that you should give it to him...
[She can't help but feel a little guilty about that. Still, it really was better to know, wasn't it? You had to know where you stood so you could decide how move on from there.]
[Action] <3 ^^;
Knowing her, she'll probably have a rather interesting name to give the club. We'll think of something though!
[She then sighed, but didn't lose her smile. It was obvious that Rise felt a little guilty and deflated at this revelation. Tohko patted Rise on the head and grinned.]
You did..but it was my own choice to do so. Please don't blame yourself, Rise. It's alright. I was expecting something like this to happen, so I prepared myself for it. Don't worry..it's alright.
[Action] //pummels Enoch, grrrr! (ﾉ｀∆´)シ lol
[Despite that reassurance, Rise doesn't feel any less guilty. She's not even sure what else she should say to the other girl. This was one of the hardest parts of a rejection, because you had to decide what to do. Did you give up on the person and look for someone else, or did you hang on to those feelings and hope that someday your persistence would pay off?
Her advice didn't help before, so Rise isn't sure she should be offering any more in this case, but she also wants to help fix it a little, if she can.]
...Um. if you don't mind me asking...what are you going to do now?
Re: [Action] Pff..don't do that! He's already in not-so-great shape! xD;
Don't worry, I will. I think everything will be okay though, so don't worry.
[Have another headpat while Tohko thinks of the answer to that question.]
Well..I'm going to keep being friends with Enoch and live up to my promise, try to beat Wilhelm at Othello, work with the club with you and Rei..and a few other things!
[Action] N O P E no mercy! X'D
But Tohko is doing her best to put on a brave face, and she's smiling despite it all; Rise has no right to take that away from her, if that's how she wants to handle things.]
...You're really strong, Tohko-chan. Nice or not, that guy must be pretty dumb to turn you down.
[Action] Oh man..if these two ever meet, Tohko's going to have to pull back Rise..xDD
However, at Rise's words, Tohko shook her head and nervously chuckled, a little surprised.]
Oh, I'm not that strong! And Enoch's not dumb..he's actually pretty smart. He just doesn't feel the same way. But that's alright.
[Action] lol Well, it's not like Rise could really do much damage to him anyway. |D
I don't care how smart he is! He's still dumb to turn down someone like you! Though I guess you can't always help how you feel about someone... But still!
[Action] xD; That's true..but Tohko stil doesn't want them to fight.
And how is he dumb to turn me down?
[Action] BUT TOHKO-CHAN HE DESERVES IT (◣_◢)
Because you're really kind, and pretty, and one of the nicest people I've met here in the Tower. You're a great catch, Tohko-chan! What kinda idiot turns down a girl like that?
[Action] No he doesn't! ><; He's been through quite a bit too! Don't beat him up..or try..
I-I'm glad you think highly of me..and the sort of 'idiot' that would turn me down is one who has lived for quite some time and is probably looking for a more mature partner. It'd be weird to be in a relationship with someone who felt more like a daughter or a sister than a lover.
[Action] She won't do anything to upset you...but if you're not around when they meet... |D
Oh, so that's all it was? In that case, all you really have to do is wait a few years, then try again, right? If you still feel the same way and someone better hasn't come along by then, of course!
[
...Clearly someone is unaware of some important key facts regarding her new friend. |D][Action] Then heads will roll!~ xD;; And now, clearly, the two have to meet when Tohko isn't looking
Rise..he said that, in age, I exceeded the girls he's been with before..but not in my thoughts and manner. I'm too much like my title of book girl. Unless my personality drastically changes, that probably won't change either, and I have no intent on changing myself. After all, I am happy with who I am.
[Just scared to death that other people may not be sometimes.]
[Action] lmao Yesssss... >D
Still, regardless of all that, one thing was for sure:]
...Yeah. You shouldn't change yourself for anyone else. If you're happy with being who you are, that's how you should stay.
[Action] Watch as Enoch sinks even further into despair and depression!~
Right. Of course, that's not saying that I won't change as I learn and grow, but changing just because someone says I'm too much like my title isn't a good reason.
[Action] ...PFFT. See, that's what you get when you mess with Rise's friends! X'D
Exactly! Unless your behaviour is hurting someone else somehow, the only person you should ever change yourself for is you.
And you know what? I like Tohko-chan exactly the way she is.
[They haven't known each other all that long, but so far Rise's really enjoyed the time she's spent with the book girl.]
[Action] Even if said friend is okay with it? xD;
Exactly! And..I'm glad you like me exactly how I am. Thank you, Rise.
[..Even if you don't know about her book eating.]
[Action] ............*Yes.* （￣～￣）
And the third person thing is just leftover 'cutesy talk' from her idol days. |D She'd only used it every so often anyway, not like some of the other girls, but it still slipped into her conversations every now and then.Acceptance was kinda a big deal in her circle of friends from home. It was something that Yu-senpai had given them all unflinchingly, and, by following his lead, that they'd learned to give themselves bit by bit. So Rise can't help but chuckle a little at Tohko's response.]
You don't have to thank me for liking you! It's not a very hard thing to do, after all.
[Action] Rise...(>_<;;)
Well, I guess for some it's not. I'm just glad that you don't think it's hard.
[Sephiroth had shown her that some people did have trouble with that.]
[Action] Whaaa~t? ¯\_(︶▽︶)_/¯
[She doesn't sound sad, really; just serious, and very much like she knows exactly what she's talking about.]
So you're a lot better off just being someone that you like.
[Action] Don't attack my friends! That's just going to make things worse! ><;
It was the fact that she knew some people weren't going to like that was what bothered her. She didn't want people to see her as a goblin or a monster. She knew it wouldn't be reasonable..but she also knew that people might think that of her and toss 'stones' at her.]
Don't worry, Rise. I know all of that. There are a lot of stories that show that, and even more that show how unhappy you feel when you try to force yourself to change. So don't worry-I'm going to be someone I like.
[Have another headpat.]
Just make sure you can follow that advice too, alright?
[Action] But she IS your friend! X'D (& lolno don't worry, she's not rly all that prone to violence)
Instead she just beams at the other girl, looking more than a little pleased with herself.]
Good! And yeah, I'm not too worried about not following my own advice. I've got enough people watching me to be sure I don't mess up like that again.
[Action] Which is why I don't want you to fight! xD;; (I didn't think she would be, tbh. xD;)
Well, that's good! I'm glad to hear it..but when did you mess up before?
[Action] It'll all be fine in the end, no worries! (o^-')b
[Action] Are you sure? ^^;
[Action] Very sure! (^ ▽^ )ﾉ
[Action] Alright then! ^^

[Action] I reach out to the truth of my life..~
[Action] XD! Seeking to seize on the whole moment, yeah~!
[Action] Such a silly and catchy song. xD;
[Action] P4 has some pretty awesome (and yes, v. catchy) music. :]
[Action] Yosuke-mun introduced me to it, so I've heard some of it's awesomeness. ^^
[Action] Haha~ Well then, good job on his part!
[Action] Yup!~
