[He's got nothing to do at all, besides make sure the Night Fowl and Longtomb Special were still in working condition, so he decides to change that by giving everyone a question.

Beware all those who answer: You will be nicknamed on sight. 8|]

Okay, Luceti, I've got a question for you kind folks. What passes for a pastime for you?

I enjoy playing chess. [She enjoys chess enough for a bright smile, evidently.] Reading, too. I also like swimming.

[last_showdown]

[Oh. Ohohohohoho. Ami, you are going to be flirted with, on top of being nicknamed...well, soon, anyway. His curiosity needs to be appeased. 8|]

Do you often bring friends along when you take a dip?

[geniustheveil]

[Embarrassing her is way too easy; the fun will wear off quickly. If she's lucky.]

My friends? Sometimes. I led some swimming lessons for awhile, too.

[last_showdown]

Must've been fun for the boys to get lessons from you, schoolgirl.

[There is something about that smile--and the way he messes with his cowboy hat. 8| Yup, he's feeling a little flirty.]

[geniustheveil]

[Either she's oblivious, or she's decided it's easier if she pretends to be.]

I hope anyone who came learned a lot.

[last_showdown]

They probably did. Pretty faces like yourself are good motivators like that. Not that a positive attitude doesn't help.

[You can almost hear the cheshire grin widening. 8|]

[geniustheveil]

Students learning a lesson should only be focusing on that. [Did he seriously call her pretty? Ok, that's flattering, to be honest.]

[last_showdown]

[Yes. Yes, he did. Haken is not a subtle person. No, he is not.] S' no fun if they don't learn about their teachers, too. [Or ogle them, as this guy is clearly thinking. 8|]

[geniustheveil]

[Taking him at face value, she thinks of her teachers growing up. Actually, she'd felt more on their level than on the same level as her peers (though it was a lonely way to feel).]

Maybe so. Teachers can be like mentors, in more areas than just their subject matter.

[last_showdown]

[Wow, Ami, how do you not catch onto his flirting? Or are you trying to ignore all that? Let's do a little expression reading and find out as we go. 8|] True 'nough. Wouldn't be who we are without 'em. [...And he probably got his flirty habits from his adopted dad, so. Bad parenting much? 8|]

[geniustheveil]

[Does 'discomfort level' count as 'not catching on'? She's not really the type people flirt with.]

Ah, but what about you? What are your hobbies and pastimes?

[last_showdown]

[Probably. She kinda-sorta reminds him of Kaguya already, although not with the whole innocent fanservice schtick she has going.] Travellin' is my thing most of the time, but with the barrier keepin' me from going further, I don't do it as much as I used to.

So I usually go diggin' around for interesting things.

[geniustheveil]

Could it be you mean archaeology? I've read a few books about that before now. It's an interesting science. But can you find much here?

[last_showdown]

Somethin' like that. Wouldn't say I found anythin' of interest, though. There isn't much besides those ruins, so I'm guessin' they kept all the good stuff out of our reach.

[geniustheveil]

We still don't know very much about this land before we came here. Even the other facilities, and the refugees who came here recently, were very unfamiliar to us.

[last_showdown]

Refugees? [Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa.] What happened 'fore I got dropped in here?

[geniustheveil]

Luceti isn't the only enclosure like ours. People from another were forced out, and came here.

[It wasn't entirely peaceful.]

[last_showdown]

[...Well, that gets him to drop his flirty and funny demeanor pretty quick.]

Got a rundown on how bad it was?

[geniustheveil]

[She has a very, very bad habit of being too serious.]

We'll be fine. The people here are very remarkable and resourceful. They won't be defeated so easily.

As you can see this guy has taken up most of my headspace with how loud he is 8|

[last_showdown]

[Welp, that puts her closer in resemblance to his green-haired partner, then, what with being serious all the time.

...Except for when the clothing sheds itself. Then she just goes bonkers.]

Less worryin' for me then, I s'pose.

XD it's OK, I've got some loud ones myself. he seems fun!

[geniustheveil]

[It's also successfully gotten them both away from anything that could be called flirting. Chalk up one point for the neurotic brain.

Her clothing never, ever sheds itself, though. She'd die of flustered flailing if it did.]

Yes; you only just arrived, so, there's probably a lot on your mind already. Please just focus on that for the time being.

Pff, some so loud they obscure the other muses to an extent? 8|

[last_showdown]

[Or flustered running away, if this failcasanova was there to see it? Pff.]

Got me there, schoolgirl. I'll focus on gettin' myself settled in for now.

[geniustheveil]

[This is twice he's called her that, and aside from not being entirely comfortable with the quick intimacy of giving her a nickname, there's something she feels she has to correct.]

Excuse me. [How to say it politely...?] I'm not in school any longer.

[last_showdown]

[She gets a small laugh despite her correction for him. It's clear that he's already settled in with the nickname, and is not about to drop it anytime soon. 8|] S' what works for me. Makes it easier for me to remember who I meet.

this is making me giggle so much XD

[geniustheveil]

Maybe... I think it's better if we introduce ourselves. I'm Ami Mizuno. I'm pleased to meet you.

Haha, Endless Frontier is good for hilarity. Trust me. XD

[last_showdown]

[Schoolgirl Ami it is, then. He keeps that little grin on his face as he tips his hat off to her again.]

A pleasure. The name's Haken -- Haken Browning. Try not to wear it out.

XD looks like it

[geniustheveil]

Do you need any help finding somewhere to stay, Mr. Browning?

Makes me a little sad that few people have actually heard of the games. ;_;

[last_showdown]

No need t' worry about that. I've already found myself a place to stick around in.

[geniustheveil]

That's a relief. The stores might have some of your belongings as well, if there's something you're looking for specially.
