♡ Call 004 [audio, May 9, afternoon]

[amorini]

[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!]

You're friends with both of them right? Better from you than from whoever the next person he tries to pick up may be. They might not be so kind as someone who has both of their best interests at heart.

[Oh, teenagers.]

[diedforyoursins]

I believe he wants to talk to her himself.

[amorini]

Well, as long as you're sure he's going to do it...

In either case, you should still make it clear to him that regardless of how close your species is capable of being with others even as friends, he should consider the point moot until he talks to his boyfriend or girlfriend and hears their opinion on it.

[diedforyoursins]

And what do I say if it is possible?

[amorini]

[You can almost hear her curious little headtilt.]

You mean that him being attracted to you in that way is more than perfectly acceptable by the standards of your species? That part's pretty simple- you send them my way and I explain this neat little concept called 'polyamory'.

[diedforyoursins]

I mean, how do I explain to him that it is acceptable? He did not seem to understand what I meant by saying I do not feel particulars like "romantic love" versus "familial love" or the like.

[he's kinda forgotten by this point to be vague enough about the situation that takuto won't realize it's him. whoops.]

[amorini]

Oh, that's a tough one. Labeling things does tend to make them more complicated when it comes to mortals, but if you don't, then they get all panicky and start making things make even less sense...

[A delicate cough.]

But I digress. Maybe explain to him that while your definitions of love might not be what he's used to, it doesn't mean that it isn't similar enough to be feasible? Or that, at the very least, while your feelings might not be an exact match for him, it doesn't make them any less real- or you any less inclined to give things a try?

[diedforyoursins]

[someone who understands. he's tempted to break anonymity just to make friends.]

Perhaps that would work.

[amorini]

[There's always private messages!]

It might. Sometimes people just need a little time to let things sink in though, you know? If he doesn't get it right away, give him a little time to mull things over- I'm sure he'll figure it out.
