♡ Call 004 [audio, May 9, afternoon]

[Today, Death City is greeted with a little crackle of audio and a quiet whisper of 'ready?' before the following-]


Hey there everyone, your resident goddess of love here with special guest miss Rise Kujikawa for the first ever Death City broadcast of my show!
Hey everyone! I'm really excited to be here for such a special occasion. Thank you for having me on the show, Cupid-chan!
Thank you for agreeing to help out, Rise! Now, in just a few moments, Rise and I will start off with advice to questions that were left in my inbox in this last week or so. After that you're all free to send in texts to my inbox or just comment right here and we'll get to any questions you might have or have been too bashful to send in!
And don't be shy about it. Remember, there's probably at least one other person out there who's wondered the same thing you are, or had similar troubles to those you're having. So by asking our advice you're not only helping yourself, you're helping those other people too.
Now, since this is a little different than my usual shows, I just have a couple of rules to put in place. One- nothing that will make me have to paraphrase for the sake of the younger residents without a filter, and two- no commentary about how 'romance is stupid'. If you're going to act like a pre-teen, I will not hesitate to take you to school on the matter.
Right. And serious questions only, please. If you think the subject matter means it's okay for you to waste our time with fake nonsense questions, you'd better think again. We'd much rather spend our time helping those who genuinely need our help.
Now, with that said, let's get to our questions, shall we Rise?
Absolutely. You first - this is your show, after all.




[ooc: If you've left a response in Cupid's inbox (L, Bakura, Lezard, Giroro) then there's a thread in here for you. Everyone else is free to ask more questions as themselves or anonymously, of course- and to reply to the post in general!]

Our final question is from another anonymous caller - man, you guys are all really shy about this, huh?

Anyway, our final question: Dear Cupid...

Well, first of all, I'm not sure how useful this advice is going to be while we're in Death City but just in case your warrior princess ends up coming here too or in case you end up going back to her, here's what I can suggest. First of all, timing is everything - arrange a time to meet her when neither of you is going to be distracted by other things. You want it to be somewhere you guys can talk in peace and it's probably better you choose somewhere neutral just in case she doesn't feel the same way - that way it's less awkward than being at your place or hers. Restaurants are good because you can talk during the meal and then you can get a feel for when the right moment is to confess.

And when that moment comes? Just be honest. Don't try to impress her with flowery speech unless you know you can pull it off. Just tell her how you feel and make sure you make it clear you like everything about her. Try not to focus too much on the physical - calling her beautiful is fine but don't go overboard in complimenting her physical features. Focus on her personality, on what draws you to her. Maybe it still won't work, but at least you'll know and so will she.

Would a shooting range be suitable as neutral grounds? And what do I do if I become tongue tied?
this_is_keron: (sweatdrop || the first to blink loses)

[But the thought of him and Natsumi practising at the shooting range is really appealing. (What he imagined involved Natsumi against a background of shoujo sparkles going, Giroro, that was an amazing shot!]

I suppose that could work, but I don't know many places on Pekopon.

[M-maybe he could take her to the moon? Would that work?]

How can anyone stay relaxed in a situation like this!? Every time I talk to her outside of combat, my heart beats too fast for me to calm down!

[Someone he trusts?]

Would it be better to ask a guy or a girl for suggestions?

[But the moon is only one giant slingshot shot away...]

In that case I will try to do as you say if I get the chance. Thank you for the advice.

[But that's how he got there the last time!]

Understood.

And I hope you're right.
[About everything working out, because, god, a date with Natsumi.]

[But Kururu did all the necessary calculations. He even (possibly) took physics into account.]

I'll try.
this_is_keron: (blush || don't mention it)

[personal profile] this_is_keron 2013-03-18 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[personal profile] tofu_idol 2013-03-08 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
I agree with what Cupid-chan said. I'd also say that it would be kinda difficult to talk at a shooting range since it's not exactly a quiet place. But hey, if things went well you could always take her there on a date sometime instead.
this_is_keron: (happy || so excited!)

[personal profile] this_is_keron 2013-03-09 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Give him a second. The suggestion of him and Natsumi being on a date (a real date!) just completely blew his mind.

A date with Natsumi. A date with Natsumi. A date with Natsumi. A date with Natsumi.

You can't see it, but there are proverbial grenades going off in his head.]


I could take her on a date?

[personal profile] tofu_idol 2013-03-09 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, why not? I mean, if the confession goes well and all, why wouldn't you take her on a date?
this_is_keron: (blush || embarassed sweatdrop)

[personal profile] this_is_keron 2013-03-09 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I have never taken anyone on a date before. I wouldn't even know how to ask.
tofu_idol: ([yukata])

[personal profile] tofu_idol 2013-03-09 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Well you don't have to make a big thing of it. Just ask if she'd like to go to dinner sometime, or to go see a movie - or to go to the shooting range. Something where you can spend time together but without so much of the pressure.
this_is_keron: (misc || studying)

[personal profile] this_is_keron 2013-03-11 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Should I also get her flowers?

[That was a thing people did, right? Give flowers?]
tofu_idol: ([follow me])

[personal profile] tofu_idol 2013-03-11 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, if you think she'll like them. But try to pick ones that she likes or that maybe remind you of her, rather than just going for the obvious. Some girls like that but it's better if you show you've thought about what she'd like.
this_is_keron: (thinking || this is my thinking face)

[personal profile] this_is_keron 2013-03-11 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Would crossing a galaxy to get her flowers be okay? Or would that be too forward of me?
tofu_idol: ([feeling fine])

[personal profile] tofu_idol 2013-03-11 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe wait until you know she likes you that way before you start planning something that extravagant.
this_is_keron: (thinking || I has an idea)

[personal profile] this_is_keron 2013-03-13 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Understood.

Maybe a species that's native to her planet would be better, correct?
tofu_idol: ([got this])

[personal profile] tofu_idol 2013-03-13 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely more chance of it being something she'll like, at least.
this_is_keron: (blush || embarassed sweatdrop)

[personal profile] this_is_keron 2013-03-14 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I'll do then.

Thank you for your advice.
tofu_idol: ([all good])

[personal profile] tofu_idol 2013-03-14 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome!
