PRIVATE FROM TAILGATE | AUDIO;

[forcowardice]

Okay, so. So.

I think I have a big conundrum here! I'm pretty sure that I have a d-date. But I don't know anything about human styles or fashion or anything like that and I no idea what to wear oh man oh scrap.

So I need help! Does anyone know what I should wear for a date? I'm trying to figure out where we should eat too, but I have no idea what to do. He likes... ice cream. Lots of ice cream.

Can anyone offer any advice?

I've gone shopping before. Maybe I could help...

[It makes him a little sad, remembering his old roommate and their shopping trip, but...

If it can help...]

Congratulations on your date, first off.

[forcowardice]

That'd be great! I haven't really gone shopping for clothes much.

Thanks, Metalhawk. I'm really looking forward to it. Here's hoping I won't make anything blow up.

[pacifistaggressive]

I learned after awhile that most humans don't wear the same outfit.

But...how 'casual' are you going to want to be?

[forcowardice]

Yeah, I sort of noticed. Humans aren't like their television shows sometimes.

I'm... not sure. What's typically expected in a human date?

[pacifistaggressive]

[Embarassed silence.]

I've...never had one. Then again...are you dating a human?

[forcowardice]

Well. No, not really. He's a Cybertronian like us, but he definitely has a human body.

[pacifistaggressive]

[A sigh of relief.]

I doubt you'll be judged much on what you wear, then.


But I have some ideas. Do you know where the shopping area is?

[disrobes]

There's a wonderful diner I frequent that has very good ice cream, and it's rather close to a movie theater.

[Satsuki knows... next to nothing about dating, but that seems like a normal enough date.]

voice;

[forcowardice]

Oh! That sounds perfect. We're gonna see a movie!

Can you tell me more about it?

[you_tried]

The more colors, the better. And you can't go wrong with gold lamé.

[forcowardice]

Hmm, okay. So tons of colors. Got it.

[you_tried]

Zebra stripes are also acceptable.

[ date? he can't mean like a calendar date, right? ]

What's a date?

[Video]

[forcowardice]

A date is an outing you take with at least one other individual. You perform certain activities with them that you mutually enjoy. For example, my date and I agreed to a movie and a dinner. It can be with friendly intentions, but it's usually, um. A little romantic, at least.

You've never heard of it? I mean, my species don't really go on them often these days, but even we used to do something that social.

[onewiththewild]

Romantic...? I didn't know there were names for that sort of thing.

We don't do that. [ well, not go out and watch a movie. Wolves court in a very different way ]

[weapabilities]

You're going on a date? With a human?

[Video]

[forcowardice]

Kind of! I mean, we're doing a human-like date, anyway.

[Video]

[weapabilities]

... Who?

[Video]

[forcowardice]

Sssssomeone.

[Video]

[weapabilities]

Fulcrum.

[Video]

[forcowardice]

What!

[Video]

[weapabilities]

Fulcrum.

Well, if you're just going for ice cream, it should be fine to dress how you usually do.

[forcowardice]

It's supposed to be dinner, too. Though I can kinda foresee him eating nothing but ice cream.

[earnedmystripes]

Aah...well, if it's not a super fancy place or anything, you could probably get away with a dress shirt and a tie, then...
