Who: coolstempers and realityanchor
What: A seaside date
When: The evening of April 24th
Where: The beach!
Summary: Dinner, bad advice, and a first date.
Rating: PG...?

[The sea breeze is cool and refreshing as she walks along the beach, keeping a fidgety eye out for a certain blue-haired man. She's wearing a simple white dress she never knew she had, but that doesn't mean she isn't fond of it; it did, after all, spare her wallet the grief of buying something entirely new. Gone are her defiant pigtails, instead joined into a neat braid that sways as she treks through the sand in her sandals.]

[Slung over shoulder are two long objects, swathed in a dark cloth that hides in the night behind the white of her dress.]

[She just has to believe in Sylvia's words, right...?]

[Well, fidget no more, Marica. That blue haired man will be showing up via a nice teleport since he was kinda at the last minute getting a few things.

And it is evident that he did try to dress nicely, but still mostly casual for this. He's wearing a nice dark blue shirt and a pair of black pants.

And acting on Vash's advice, he's got a bouquet of red carnations in his hand, and they are in a pretty vase already so they don't wilt before she gets home. He also comes bearing a basket with dinner for the two of them. A well-cooked dinner at that.] I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Not at all!

Eheh. You look good.

[coolstempers.livejournal.com]

[ooc: And I made an error on that last tag, it was geraniums Vash suggested, not carnations. For some reason I always mix up those two flower types and obviously had a brain fart.]

[He definitely smiles at her comment.] You do also. [And he goes ahead and hands her the flowers.] These are for you, of course.

[His smile becomes a bit more nervous, because well, he's not quite sure if he did pick good flowers. Vash did say you can't go wrong with those, but it could also just be a preference of his own wife's.]

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Thank you. They're lovely.

[coolstempers.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Phew, I'm flower stupid myself, and it was just a dumb move on my part to not look at the thread!]

[He'll go ahead and give it to her. If she opens it up, there's two blankets on top, basically to ensure they have a place to sit and can keep warm. Also serves well to keep the food warm. Then inside is everything they need for dinner (and likely too much, Piers always makes too much). There is pasta with sun dried tomato alfredo sauce and smoked salmon. There's a side of steamed veggies with plenty of carrots and also a loaf of garlic bread.

He definitely came well prepared and no detail was missed. There's even water and iced tea to drink.]

Can you come here a sec?

[coolstempers.livejournal.com]

[He seems a bit confused by that, but will start walking over closer to her.] Need some help or something?

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

You could say that.

2/2

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

En garde!

[coolstempers.livejournal.com]

[That was not something he was expecting, so about all he can do to react is just to duck.

He can't even think of anything to say. It's definitely not something he recalled ever doing on a date, but yeah, he'll try and run with it.]

[She might just be successful, because his unwillingness to hurt her or to use any Psynergy and soak her is going to be a huge disadvantage.

So instead he'll try to be on the defensive and hope she stops this and neither of them end up hurt.]

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

[Stopping? No way! She's communicating through her sword, so there's no way she can show weakness! -- That, and the blades are dulled, so she's not too worried about killing her date.

After a couple more failed hits, she digs her feet into the sand before jumping up for a big overhead swing!]

[coolstempers.livejournal.com]

[And as dense as Piers is, he's totally missing the message here. Truly, it is evident that he will never understand women.

He'll go ahead and get out of the way, but truly, this couldn't go on any longer. So he decided he'll just yield and let her have the victory.]

I yield to you. Truly, I do not wish to harm you even unintentionally.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Ah! Wha... Seriously?! Piers!

/joins you

[coolstempers.livejournal.com]

[He nods.] I am very serious.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

You can't just give up! That's not how it goes!

[coolstempers.livejournal.com]

I am letting you have the victory, that is all. You would have had it anyhow.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Hey... Where's your pride as a man?

[coolstempers.livejournal.com]

A man should also have enough pride to not feel a need to show his strength for the wrong reasons.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

The wrong reasons, huh...? So you don't believe in communicating through our blades or whatever.
