"True, but you know how stuff like this works. People start prepping way before the actual holiday. Works in my favor, really. I start wearing red, heard it's a nice color for me."
[b]Once inside Keri looks up at the menu, trying to decide what to get. It was weird, really. Going somewhere with someone and just wanting to be with them... It was still a little strange to her.[/b]
English
-
[i]With a nod, the waiter scribbled something down on a notepad, before he turned to Luke with nothing but an expectant look. [/i] "Going simple, macaroni and cheese, please, with a cappuccino." [i]With another nod, the waiter scribbled the order down, before asking to the both of them:[/i] "Will that be all?" "I'd think so," [i]Luke responded as he looked over at Keri. Seemed he was done, but wanted to make sure if Keri wanted anything else. [/i]
-
"Yes, that will be all." [b]Keri smiled big, she was genuinely very happy.[/b]
-
[i]And, with yet another nod, the waiter drew a line beneath their order, before heading off to the counter, where he handed the note to the bartender, who then disappeared off to the kitchen. Or however it works. [/i]
-
"So, Lucas, what do you like to do for fun? Besides wooing women like me, that is."
-
[i]The comment about wooing women made Luke just somewhat awkward, a soft chuckle leaving his lips to cover up the awkwardness, before he answered, [/i] "I like reading comics, playing games, tinkering with technology, fixing things, building things. I'm an engineer and a half." [i]He smiled as he paused for a moment, giving Keri the time to process his answer and all that before he continued, [/i] "What about you?"
-
"Well... I like comics too. And shooting guns, that's pretty fun... Oh! Practicing with my rapier! And going around in the Cedyetica sim. Meeting people. That's fun."
-
"What kind of comics do you like? I love the Deadpool ones." [i]Luke went silent for a few moments, before he failed trying to resist asking a million questions. He still spoke rather rapidly, though he managed to remain coherent. [/i] You have a rapier? That's pretty cool, always wanted to try sword fighting. Do the people in your sim each have their own personality? Or do you program them? Either way, that's very cool."
-
"I had my AI friend sit down and program around a billion personalities in. It took him like two minutes. It's randomized who shows up. If I befriend them, they show up more often. And my favorite comics are some of the indie stuff, Tomboy's a really good one."
-
"That has to be a very smart AI, correct? Was he made using an entire brain? If not, that's even more impressive. And, good comics? Cyber Commandos: Nightwings is a very good one. It's about two heroes in post-apocalyptic China that must travel the country, protecting peace and order."
-
"Really? Sounds cool. I've heard of it, haven't read a lot of it. Only one or two of the like three hundred issues. I'll have to get on that. How many have you read?"
-
"Call me a nerd, but I've read the entire series. Have them all at home, too - in my own room, of course. Jason would make a mess of them otherwise."
-
"Who's Jason? Wait, let me guess. He's your brother or something? The way you said it kinda gave it away."
-
"Ring-a-ding-ding. He's my older brother. Older by four years. He ended up with me on the Bloodwrath, reunited here after about nine years apart."
-
"Really? Must be nice, having him back after nine years. Say, what's having a sibling like? I never met my brother, on account of my parents being jerks."
-
"That all depends on the kind of relationship you have with your siblings. Jason and I always were pretty close, so it was like having a friend who lives in the same place as you. Or, in my case, a best friend. Siblings look out for one another, protect one another."
-
"I mean... I have had a friend that felt like the brother I never had. He was one of the first people I talked to that didn't try to kill me on sight. I even joined his PMC. It's JT, as I've said before. He's a great guy."
-
"Met someone like that, too. Though he was more like a second brother. Ling Defaln. Mentioned him before. Great guy, very heretical, though - even more so since he's an Inquisitor. I mean, he married an Eldar and had a few kids, last I heard. I'll have to meet JT, too, though."
-
"Heh. I'll have to meet Ling sometime too, then. And Jason." [b]She goes silent for a second, tapping the table.[/b] "So... You dated anyone else before? Doesn't seem like it's your first time taking someone out on a date."
-
"Ling is back with his family, wherever that is - though, that's what his sister said. And, dated anyone before? Well, if highschool 'dating' counts, then yes. Otherwise, no. The first person I officially got with disappeared after a few weeks, and since we were on the Bloodwrath, we never really went out on dates. Then I remained alone for nine years until a few months ago, when I got with my second person ever. She and I just wanted to see what it was like, really." [i]Lucas went silent as Keri had gone, his eyes quickly scanning the inn for the waiter, before looking back at Keri. [/i] "Now, this woman is Ling's sister. She and I have history back on the Bloodwrath. One event sticks out, where she offered to catch me from a twenty feet drop. We both ended in the hospital where I sorta came to be terrified of her. We both thought it would be different once we reunited. Anyway, I met this girl here, Keira, and we [i]playfully[/i] flirted. Or, well, I thought it was playful. Apparently she was serious. Anyway, Chloanne caught me red handing doing nothing bad, really, but I still panicked and ended up running away, after which I have been avoiding her. Even now."
-
"Well, since you told me about yours, I might as well talk about mine. Funny thing is, I've only had two boyfriends as well. Both were from Cedyetica. First one was a guy named Lance, referred to by many as the best swordsman to ever exist. And he really is, in my opinion. I met him on a rooftop, we talked for a while, and a few days later we kissed, then little while later we had sex. We were together for a really long time, two or three years, then we broke up. We're still on good terms, though. Talk to him every once and a while. Second guy was a guy named Daniel, same name as the guy I care for. Got a little weird when we were all in the same room. We were together for a few weeks, then he died. And now it's you. Going good so far, wouldn't you say?"
-
"Indeed so. Hope we last longer than my other relationships, hmm? Might have jinxed myself there." [i]He chuckled softly, though his words were nonetheless true. None of his relationships had lashed more than a month so far. It was bad, seriously. [/i]
-
[b]Keri smiled over at him, her eyes radiating joy, despite them not working in the slightest.[/b] "Hey, how about we don't hope this lasts..." [b]She wraps her hand around his.[/b] "Let's make it last, alright?"
-
"Let's indeed," [i]He responded with a wide smile and a nod, his hand wrapping back around Keri's, and giving it a soft squeeze. Luke really did like this woman a whole lot so far. He already fell for her, if anything. [/i] "You're awesome, Keri. You really are."
-
"You're awesome too, Lucas. I like you a lot. And that's hard to do, since we just met a couple hours ago. You're a special something, Lucas. I like that." [b]She clicked her tongue a few times, trying to get a picture of things around her again.[/b]

Edited by Nox: 11/24/2016 7:02:48 PM[i]Nothing much had changed, aside from the fact that the waiter was fast approaching with a large platter thing with all the plates and stuff. Y'know what I mean, right? [/i] "Like we're connected by the red string of faith," [i]Luke responded as the waiter stopped at their table, and placed their food before them in silence. The clam chowder for Keri, and the cappuccino and macaroni with cheese for Luke. [/i] "Thank you."
