[Well, Chika's looking much better than she did the last time she had appeared on the DEMISE network. But even so, she doesn't really look all that super happy.

Actually, she's frowning a bit, her eyes darting between the communicator and something off-screen.]

So umm... there's going to be a gala, isn't there? Like... big fancy party and... well, formal dresses and stuff.

[Chika sighs.]

Okay, I guess there's no real easy way to ask this. I need help finding a dress. For something like a gala, I really have no idea what I'm doing at all.

I need a date too, but well, need to focus on the dress first.

[Chika forces a smile to her face, hoping that she hadn't really been too loud with that last comment. She was kinda surprised that she actually said that outloud instead of just thinking it, but well, nervous.]

So umm, if anyone doesn't mind helping me look for a dress, I'd really appreciate the help.

Well, no one really.

[But she does blush a little as she thinks about Kotetsu.]

Just someone I like.

[ Chika giggled. ]

Well then, that's more than I have right now. I guess you haven't told him yet, have you?

[Video]

[gonext]

I've tried, but he never really gets it.

[Oblivious is definitely Kotetsu's middle name.]

[scatterflower]

Oh. Great. One of those.

[ She had plenty of experience with that back home. ]

Best bet with him is just to say it right out I guess. And make sure that it's said in a way that he can't confuse as just platonic. And hope he's not too dense to not get it if you do that either.

[She sighs.]

Well, we'll see about that. He's going through some trouble right now, so I'm going to wait until it simmers down.

[Video]

[scatterflower]

Oh... yeah, that'd definitely put a damper on things, wouldn't it.

What type of trouble is he going through?

[Video]

[gonext]

Well... it's complicated. But basically, his work partner from back home had been brought here from a very bad time. And he's been working hard to correct it. I would have helped, but he's the only one who can do that.

[scatterflower]

Ugh. More time-travel crap from BREW?

[ She paused for a moment, before letting out a sigh. ]

Well, I hope things get better for the both of them soon. I know how awkward things can be when BREW does things like that.

[Video]

[gonext]

Yeah... I really hope so, too.

[Video]

[scatterflower]

... Anyway, if you want to talk about things, feel free to give me a call, okay?

[Video]

[gonext]

Of course. Thanks, Chika.

[Video]

[scatterflower]

You're welcome Karina!

... Anyway, I should probably get back to work before something goes horribly wrong. I'll see you and Kaede tomorrow.

[Video]

[gonext]

Alright, I'll see you then.

[scatterflower]

Later!

[ And with that, Chika will go ahead and disconnect, because she needed to make sure that the Arcade was still in good shape. ]
