"Hello, hello! You've reached Kanbaru Suruga, better known as Araragi's Rin's a certain someone's sex slave. My specialty move is the edge attack. It seems I'm not available right now, but if you would leave a message, I'll be sure to get back to you on my own time. Thanks!"

Oh, my, really really really really embarrassing. That's a few more "reallys" than I would've predicted.

[ another laugh, this time somewhat more good-natured ... well, as much as it can be in this situation. ]

Thank you so much for the agreement! That's kind of you to say, even if I prompted for it. Really, it's the highest praise someone like me can ask for. But if the message bothers you, would you like for me to change it?

[feeline]

[on one hand she doesn't want to say Kanbaru's message is bothering her, because when it comes down to it it's almost (almost) as flattering(??!?) in a weird perverted way as much as it is embarrassing (really really really really embarrassing) , but on the other hand...

it's embarrassing.

words, why must they fail her at a moment like this. all she manages in the end is a strangled whimper and a nod, but Kanbaru can't see the nod because this is a voice call!!! good job!!!!]

[threewishes]

[ no, she can't see the nod, but she's familiar enough with rin-ese by this point that she understands the strangled whimper's meaning. kanbaru briefly puts her on hold and takes a minute or so to reply, adjusting the message. ]

[ and back ]

There, I changed it. It's more mysterious this way.

[feeline]

But it still gives the wrong idea!!

[it's the sex slave part!!! sex slave!!!!!!]

[threewishes]

Does it? Do you think "a certain someone" is still obvious enough to be immediately linked to you—?

[feeline]

N-No! I mean... no one really knows about [mumblemumble somethingsomething], do they?

[well, besides Nonon.]

[threewishes]

Hm, knows about...? [ okay, she's familiar with rin's mannerisms, but she didn't catch that one. ] Could you repeat that?

[feeline]

I said...! That stuff! About... you know!

[the awkward Feelings starting from the drunk kiss to the Rainy Devil incident. olol.]

[threewishes]

Oh.

[ oh. she can try to surmise what's meant, anyway. it's a lot of possibilities (most of which relates to the confession, she thinks). ]

If it's any consolation, I hadn't meant to remind you of that. That sort of commentary was inconsiderate. But that reminds me... I wanted to ask you something.

[feeline]

It's okay! Really! I'm not upset about it anymore. [this time she's being honest— after everything that happened, Rin's sort of... alright, with how things are now. and she's still friends with Kanbaru, so!]

What is it?

[threewishes]

[ ... ]

[ well ]

[ here goes nothin' ]

I would like to go on a date with you. [ to clarify. gosh, she regrets the informality of this already! it lacks her usual flair, her ridiculous dramatics... she hopes that's for the best, maybe. she put this girl through a lot already; any added pressure is something she would prefer to avoid. ] If I asked you out, would you be adverse to the idea?

[feeline]

[dial tone




no jk she's still there, just............... trying to process it. hold on a sec.]

A date? [she sounds so dumbstruck right now. hold on another sec.]

Like a... date date kind of date? Or just a date?

[threewishes]

Ah, my apologies for the lack of clarification! [ minus another ten points for presentation... ] The non-platonic kind— date date kind of date.

[feeline]

[she brings the phone away from herself and covers the microphone to let out a long, high-pitched squeak... but her hand isn't completely covering it so Kanbaru could probably hear that.]

—Yeah! Yes!! That's— yeah!

averse* dies

[threewishes]

[ holy crap, so cute... and acceptance! she's relieved. it's like getting another chance at... well, whatever. kanbaru's grinning from ear-to-ear. ]

That's great to hear! Thank you for this opportunity— You won't regret it! [ BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. excited fist-pumping ensues. ] —Hyaahhh, I'm so ready! But the manner in which I asked you out was kind of boring, wasn't it? You don't need to clarify. I know it was. But don't worry! I'll make it up to you, Rin-chan! Valentines Day... Mark your calendar!!
