29th Inning

[Because these are the important things at hand, Mayfield. Obviously. Not getting out or dealing with the crazies in town or anything like that. No no, it's DATES.

Admittedly, Scout needs a distraction since there's been another rash of dronings amongst his lady friends. He's particularly perturbed by the droning of Ema. They'd been up to SOMETHING of utmost importance at his house, in the basement. If his housemates try to pry, he'll tell them it's top secret and for them to do their best to keep the drone wife out of there, with a wink and a mischievous grin. He keeps it locked and there's a hastily-made sign reading "TOP SECRET - DO NOT ENTER UNDER PENALTY OF BAT TO THE FACE" hanging on the door. There's an... interesting smell coming from down there. Like fruit juice gone bad.

But yes, a distraction. A date with Taiwan sounded out of this world, but he needed someone for her friend! But who? WHO? So he gets on the phone and starts yelling until someone answers. That's how he works.

Totally unfiltered call:]

YO CHUCKLEHEADS. I need ta hear from some single guy out there, awright? I got a hot date lined up fer us! Ya don't wanna miss out on this! Help a brother out, come on!

[It's at this point that he realizes that, outside of his team, he doesn't even have that many guy friends. And he can hardly call most of his team "friends" anyway.]

Um... Ryo, my man! I know yer up for this! Vince, you like chicks right? Um. Pruss-- oh shit, yer a nation. Never mind. They said "no nations". Anyway, somebody out there's interested, right?

[Later he can be found on the town, buying flowers. Cuz that's what you do for these things, right? Shut up, Vince. :|]

...What's this all about?

[He doesn't like the sound of this, but... well...]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Dude! Ya might be too late, I think someone mighta jumped on the bandwagon already. So like, Taiwan an' her friend were lookin' fer dates, but ya had ta have two guys willin' ta go! So I was lookin' fer someone ta come with me.

[mokorilove.livejournal.com]

That might be a good thing, considering how crazy women can be in this town. What's her name?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Taiwan is a solid lady, my friend. I'm sure her friend is just as good!

It's uh.... like, Seashells 'r somethin'. She's one 'a them nation people like Taiwan. I ain't ever heard of it before though.

[mokkorilove.livejournal.com]

Seashells is a pretty strange name for a woman.

[And he totally ran into Taiwan's cleavage the other day. If only he'd gotten her name~]

Good luck on your date, though! Try to be an upstanding gentleman.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Ain't I always? If the first guy falls though, I'll let ya know. Can't leave a pretty lady hangin', right?

[mokkorilove.livejournal.com]

No, I suppose it's the gentlemanly way!! Though, if they start shooting syringes at you or threaten you with serrated tea cups, that may be a good time to leave the date.

Just a friendly warning.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Serrated tea cups?! Man, there are some real wacko chicks in this town.

[mokkorilove.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it! The other night I was attacked by one who could use parts of themselves as chainsaws!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Can honestly say I haven't seen that. Geez, this town always comes up with new ways to be freaky, man!

[mokori-love.livejournal.com]

It certainly does find ways to ruin your evenings.

[Sigh.]

But~! I'm surprisingly optimistic about this place; I've seen worse back home than I have here, surprisingly. And at least no one has rigged the town to explode yet, right?

[Yes, Ryo's had to handle the idea of the entire district of Shinjuku blowing up. ALL IN A DAY'S WORK AMIRITE.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Not yet, man. But if someone did? I wouldn't be surprised!

[mokorilove.livejournal.com]

Shit, we've probably just jinxed it.

Better get the fire extinguishers.
