[At first, it's just irritated murmuring, heavily accented and jumping rapidly from word to word. And then there's just sudden silence, awkward throat clearing, and a rushed apology. Terribly, terribly, terribly flustered over here, hello.]

I didn't... realize I'd already started this; excuse my manners.

[How t--]

Firstly, allow me to apologize for the behaviour of--

[certainly not his friend, certainly not anyone he can much tolerate at the moment]

--my acquaintance--Sol. I don't really know what was going through his head, doing this. That being said, I would like to find some means to apologize for the inconvenience. Beyond that, however, if...

[Since this isn't video, there's no shame in rubbing at his face, right?]

If there is anywhere you would like to go, specifically, please let me know; I'm... not very familiar with any of this.

[Audio]

[heptathlete]

Oh, hey. So you're the guy? I'm Tachi - yeah, Sol said it was for someone else at the auction...

[The auction she hadn't meant to enter originally...]

Er, well, don't apologize! I mean, it's not like he did anything wrong, at least, not to me... if it really bothers you, I'm not gonna force it...

But, uh... well, I wouldn't be against the whole date thing? [Guess who's never really dated anyone either...]

[Audio] sonuvabitch, it didn't send and jskfalsk

[juste_ou_mort]

So it seems; my name is Ky, and though different circumstances might be preferable, it's nice to make your acquaintance, Miss Tachi.

[This whole situation is just... But auction? That isn't something Sol'd mentioned.

Ky's going to make sure the man can't touch anything without shocking himself for a week. But that's unrelated to Tachi, so he keeps that to himself.]

I'm not bothered so much as... I suppose "caught off-guard" is a way to put it. But the least I can do is--

[How to phrase this?]

--take you out somewhere?

[Awkward. Well, no more awkward than he is right now. He makes a noise in his throat, quiet; not happy with how that came out, anyway.]

[heptathlete]

Aww, shucks, just Tachi is fine. O, or- ["Or Ryoko"? Ah, no, that still felt... a little too weird] Anyway!

Yeah, eheh... I mean, I guess that's the idea. Sure, I'd love to go out some time.

[juste_ou_mort]

Alright, then.

[He nods, though she can't see it.]

When... would be most convenient for you?

[heptathlete]

Hmm, well, I'm usually not busy during the evenings, so any day if it's then, really. Afternoon's I'd have to schedule around my job though.

[juste_ou_mort]

Then evening seems as though it would be best. Would Saturday suit you?

[heptathlete]

Yeah, that works great. Maybe meet at 6?

[Assuming this is right after the auction, it'll be the 19th]

[juste_ou_mort]

[The 19th at six; it's easy enough to commit to memory.]

Alright. Where should I meet you?

[heptathlete]

Hmm, how about just outside my apartment? Since you are taking me out on a date.

[She gives him the address, over in the Earth District]

[juste_ou_mort]

That would be appropriate, wouldn't it?

[There's a hint of a smile in that, even if it's a bit embarrassed. He's certain that should have been the obvious answer, as it rolls around his head. He writes down the information; dates are simple enough to remember, but addresses? Not so much.]

[heptathlete]

Alright, well... I'll see you then, Ky!

[Could you set up the log?]

[juste_ou_mort]

Yes. Until then.

[Sure can; I'll toss it up Tuesday.]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Ta—

Ah, I mean. Ryoko? Hi! [ That's going to take some getting used to. ] It's Subaru. I have, um... well, it's kind of a unique dilemma that I'm hoping to get some help with. [ That sounded way too formal. ] It's something personal and I can't think of who else I can ask right now.

[heptathlete]

Yeah? What sort of thing? [She suspects nothing]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

It's... it has to do with this month. It was my birthday, so. [ Subaru didn't announce it, but she and her sister probably had a little gathering with close friends. That also means something ELSE though, given where they are. ]

[heptathlete]

Yeah, I know, I was there. [Give her a second]

....oooooohhhh. So you got one of those?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Uh-huh. [ And this is why this isn't a video call, like her usual. ] It's asking me for something I haven't tried before. I've been thinking about who to ask to help me for a while now...

[heptathlete]

Well... as long as it's nothing too weird, I'd be happy to lend a hand? Literally, I guess.

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Oh, no! It's not that weird. It's just...

[ Subaru is really bad at lying, and that's no secret, but the requirements... ]

It has to do with senses. Like, if I understand it right, a blindfold should be enough. Would that be okay by you?

[heptathlete]

Oh, man, I love that sort of thing!

[RYOKO... RYOKO, PLS... DON'T JUST BLURT OUT THAT YOU'VE DONE THIS BEFORE...]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Y-You do? [ That is pure surprise. Subaru wouldn't judge! ] I guess that makes me lucky that I came to you first, huh.

[heptathlete]

Er, well, I mean, I've done things with blindfolds before and it was... really hot.

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Does that mean ... can I ask you to, um, help me out with that? For the card, I mean.

[heptathlete]

Heh, sure. So... are you going to be blindfolded or am I?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

I'm not really sure what would count, so... maybe we could take turns? Eheh, you could show me how it's done! [ This is the smoothest plan. ]

[heptathlete]

Yeah? Sure! Guess it's a big deal for you, since it helps you get some of your normal powers and stuff back, huh?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

I guess I have more incentive than most do, huh.

[heptathlete]

So, uh... when'd you wanna do it?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Are you free tomorrow? [ This gives her a day to prepare the second part of her extremely desperate plan. ]

[heptathlete]

Sure, that works. Late afternoon or evening?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Will you stay over afterwards? I could make some dinner. [ That's like the reverse of a date, Subaru. ]

[heptathlete]

Works for me!

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Evening it is! Call me before you come over and I'll make sure I'm prepared. [ You know, because of how new this is and totally not preparing for other reasons... ]

[heptathlete]

Yeah, sure! I know these things can take a bit of prep.

[Totally thinking of how much work Kaoru put into their "breathers"]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Thanks, Ryoko. For doing this, I mean. [ She will have to apologize for the deception later. ]

[heptathlete]

Hey, come on. What are friends for? [Well, friends with.. benefits?]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Ahah, I wouldn't normally say this but, seeing where we are... [ It's still not "normal" but maybe it's more "typical"? ]

[heptathlete]

Eheh, well... y'know. Yeah.

[So elegantly said.]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

[ They are the smoothest. ] So... we'll see each other tomorrow, right?

[heptathlete]

Yeah! Uh, your place?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Mmn! It's more private that way. [ The absolute last thing they need is to have Ginga waltzing in on them in the middle of this. ]

[heptathlete]

Alright, I'll see you over there then!

We're playing basketball and having a party for Aominecchi's birthday on Sunday! Bring anyone you want, we're meeting at the court at 2!

(OOC: Aomine's birthday is the 31st but I'll put an open log up September 1st so it's easier for AC. Anyone and everyone is welcome to show up!)
