[Lancer had some reservations about making anything for the administrators after hearing about the month with the infighting, but he had promised to get something for Ruana and Dax. Even if he wasn't sure how he felt about them, a promise was still a promise.]

[So he had made something for them for New Year's day. And then gotten something back. Restaurant tickets. From Riki. Who served poison fish once.]

[He spends an hour or so just staring at them and wondering if it's a trap. Then, he decides to try and figure out what he wants to do with them.]

So, what's the restaurant here like
is it any good
if, say, someone gets his hands on a free coupon for it, what's he supposed to do?

then we'll probably have no problems with each other
sorry, but there's some nasty people like that in the tower

[chainsawn]

Someone else told me that too before. Are there really that many people like that here..? I've never met any.

[puppy_lancer]

and i've met too many
so be careful, okay?

[chainsawn]

[ ... ]

Don't worry. I will.

I know how to fight, after all. And there's people I want to protect too, so of course I have to know how to.

[puppy_lancer]

oh, fight?
how?
weapons, bare hands
just curious here.

[chainsawn]

I have a chainsaw.

[ like it's.. the most normal thing ever.. ]

[puppy_lancer]

[If this wasn't text, the person on the other end would be able to see his huge grin.]

NEAT!
i really do need to see you in action sometime

[chainsawn]

[ OH LANCER. Nobody else really appreciates chainsaws the way she does, so it makes her a little more excited.. ]

Do you like those too?

[puppy_lancer]

they're a bit short and too heavy for me to wield as a weapon
but they look cool and seem powerful

[chainsawn]

They're really amazing. If you have one of them, you don't have to be scared of anything anymore. It makes me really glad.

[puppy_lancer]

i bet you can cut through lots of monsters with those
it does sound amazing the way you say it

[chainsawn]

I've already defeated monsters here with it before. I actually think it's nice to be able to do that, to fight for myself.

[puppy_lancer]

i think everyone wants to fight for themselves
if not protect others
you've got the right ideas
dunno your face, but i think i like you
platonically

[ Apparently that made her pretty happy. Since she's switching her side of the feed over to video, showing a girl of about fifteen or so with a pretty blank expression. There's a hint of a smile in it though, faintly. ]

.. This is my face.

[puppy_lancer]

[He switches to video as well.]

And this is mine.

...You're pretty cute!

[chainsawn]

[ Give her a moment to study your face, Lancer. So this is what a popular person looks like.. ]

Cute..? Me?

[puppy_lancer]

Of course. What, nobody ever told you that before?

[chainsawn]

Not a lot of people. [ Kidou, mostly. And some others who have been gone for a while even back home. ] .. Why, should they have..?

[puppy_lancer]

Yeah, they should have. It's hard to miss how pretty you are. Bet you're only prettier when wielding that chainsaw. Maybe everyone thought that you already knew that you were cute, or they were so dazzled they forgot to say it.

[chainsawn]

Dazzled.. I never even thought about that. Me being able to dazzle people..

[ It's almost as if she's daydreaming off about it a little already. ]

[puppy_lancer]

Who wouldn't be dazzled by a pretty girl who can fight for herself?

[Idiots, that's who.]

[chainsawn]

There's been a lot of people who have never been dazzled by me.. I think. Nobody said it like that before, at least..

[puppy_lancer]

Then the next time you dazzle someone, tell them that the popular guy called you cute so they say it too.

[WOAH WOAH WOAH HEY NOW LANCER, THAT'S TREADING JUST A LITTLE TOO FAR INTO FLIRTING TERRITORY.

Honestly, Kidou wanted to speak up a lot earlier but he decided that maybe he was being too protective or something... but this just might go somewhere he doesn't want it to, so it's time for him to interject.]

Thank you for your advice Lancer, but I don't think that will settle well with others if she really did say that.

[His arms are crossed and he's glaring from behind his goggle lens.]

Also while I appreciate you being kind to Urotsuki, I'm not very comfortable with you... flirting with her like that. [Especially since Urotsuki isn't the kind of person to pick up on something like that... so Kidou's scared of how far Lancer really could get with her...]

SORRY FOR MAKING YOU WAIT SO LONG!

[puppy_lancer]

Wait, why? Is she your...

[Lancer's smile gets significantly smaller as he realizes what this might mean. He had already wronged this boy once. He didn't want to do it again.]

...Sorry.
