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. :|]

...men.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah?


Hey look, I ain't datin' him! I got two lovely ladies lined up fer us.

[1-21jigawatts.livejournal.com]

That's the worst part, talking about these kind of things in public! I feel sorry for whoever you're dating!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

What's the big deal? It's just a date! Why, 's it supposed ta be some kinda secret?

[1-21jigawatts.livejournal.com]

That statement is exactly why you're an idiot! Be more sensitive to a girl's feelings!

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

You. Will. Not. Shout. Into. The. Phone. Again.

Leave it to the Americans to broadcast their courtships so blatantly, without regard to the feelings of the ladies involved.

Be that as it may, if you need an extra person, I would be more than happy to escort a lady to whatever engagements you have planned. ...I need to meet more people.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Uh, lady? THEY were the ones who got on the phone an' asked in tha first place! So obviously it ain't no secret.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

What's the big deal? They got on the phone first!

[You... you confuse him so.] I-I dunno. Maybe? I'll get back ta ya on that.

[1-21jigawatts.livejournal.com]

I've got a name, you know!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Ya haven't bothered ta tell me it.

[1-21jigawatts.livejournal.com]

Then ask for it before calling me lady.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Awright then kid, what's yer name?

[1-21jigawatts.livejournal.com]

I'm not a kid either. And it's Misaka.

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

They were being obvious, but still invitational. You, however, are being crass.

It was the purpose of your phone call to find an additional person, was it not? Who better to escort a lady than a -gentleman-, and one with such high honours as mine?

Or are you afraid I'll make you look bad?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

I ain't be crass! I could be a lot crasser if ya wanted me to. But I ain't that dumb, thanks.

Yeah right, pally! Taiwan is about ta have tha greatest date of her life. There ain't no way you could make me look bad. 'Sides, I don't even know yer name! How can I invite ya?

[aitherial.livejournal.com]

Ah. So she wasn't lying.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

What? Who wasn't lying?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Well Misaka. I'm Scout. BLU Team's Scout. An' I still don't see what the big deal is. But whatever! I got me an awesome date lined up regardless.

[aitherial.livejournal.com]

The one who thinks she's a nation. You must be desperate.

[savethedata.livejournal.com]

...If you're going out with the hot nation chicks, I want to go. Please take me. Please please pleaseeeeeee!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Why do ya think I'm desperate?! She asked, an' I'm more than willin' ta help out, ya know.

[aitherial.livejournal.com]

So it's a pity date.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

No it ain't! Look, Taiwan is a pretty awesome lady. I ain't gonna listen ta any more 'a this crap from someone I don't even know.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Hmm, maybe! Are ya like, a sensitive guy 'r whatever? Long walks on tha beach an' stuff like that? That's what she asked for.
