STAGE 08 - [video] Forward dated to tonight

[lastnerv]

[It's a video post! From Shinji! And he's smiling. Terrifying. He's got his comm held up and angled down so that it's clear that someone is standing next to him, and that they are, in fact, holding hands.] I don't usually admit when I'm wrong, but in this case I gotta say, the speed dating thing was the greatest time of my life. I'm glad I got talked into it, so that I could finally find the person who makes me feel complete. [And the comm is angled to the right to reveal that the girl next to Shinji is...]

[feferi!!!! w h a t. she beams, positively radiant, and offers the camera a little wave.] Whoever came up with this is a genius! Thank you so much. I never would have discovered this without it! [she pops shinji a little kiss on the cheek for good measure.]

[Shinji's smile gets big enough to cross into "obnoxiously happy" and goddamnit is he blushing too? This is the worst.] Feferi! [Shinji chuckles. Giggles? It's like both at once.] Anyway, we just wanted to say thanks and we hope it worked out just as well for everyone else! [He turns back to Feferi, ignoring the comm like it isn't still on.] Hey, let's go get ice cream!

[she grins even wider, if that is even possible] I love ice cream! How did you know? [she flicks his nose, jokingly, and laughs herself. god, he is such a dork!]

[Shinji leans towards her aaaand fortunately for the sake of everyone's sanity, that's the end of the video feed.]

[lastnerv]

Oh, that's right! I didn't even think about that. We'll have to make room for you.

[YES USING HIS COMM TO TALK TO HER EVEN THOUGH SHE'S RIGHT NEXT TO HIM]

[tridentkind]

You had better! I'm not going to live in a closet.

[she elbows him off-comm. god you are so silly, shinji!!!!]

[lastnerv]

Of course not! You deserve the royal treatment. We'll get a bigger place if we have to.

[tridentkind]

You don't have to go that far! But it's sweet of you to offer.

[yup just casually discussing your housing prospects in front of you yuma]

[lastnerv]

[SURELY YOU DON'T MIND, YUMA]

There's no such thing as going too far when it comes to making you happy.

[tridentkind]

I just don't think it will be necessary! I really don't take up that much space. And we don't want to inconvenience Yuma too much, either!

[but it's ok to inconvenience him a little!]

[lastnerv]

Okay. If that's what you want then we'll keep it simple. [He was so ready to redecorate the place in fuchsia and gold.]

[ totes judging tbh ]

This is the poorest attempt at humorously intended insincerity I've yet encountered. Please tell me that's all you meant by it.

[tridentkind]

[GOSH KANAYA DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND WHIRLWIND ROMANCE]

Relax, Kanaya! It won't happen immediately. But it's definitely a possibility!

[glowsferatu]

[ she's read about so many of them but trying to resolve them with the real world has only left her cynical ]

A very slim one. It would be inadvisable for you to get ahead of yourselves like this.

[soulbondee]

Isn't that a little too fast?
