---

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke has a gut reaction to troubles. That's to sit down at a table and order milkshake after milkshake after milkshake---there's /five/ small milkshake glasses around him and he is just---completely demolishing them as he stares intently at the far wall- trying to burn a hole through it- he's not wanting to really deal with anyone right now, the purple haired boy trying to pretend no one exists around him.

It isn't working. What is working is that he's giving himself an awesome milkshake stomachache. Sometimes people have weird reactions to troubles. He's not quite there yet though- trying to enjoy his sunday before he starts to go do things later in the day.

He's not wearing a scowl or anything- he's just indifferent right now and maybe a little sad looking.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi plods up the stairs of the Arcade's diner, stretching and rolling her shoulders.

She is awake, just, and sporting a massive Disney Movie Hangover.

Symptoms include: Talking to animals, waving to strangers, and expecting everyone to burst into song at any given moment.

She would be with Ami-chan still, but her studious friend had homework or projects or world saving discoveries to make.

So, on her way home, she figures a little pick me up would cure her songified brain!

Oh, hey, Daisu-kun!

Normally people would feel awkward for just plopping down in front of someone they'd spent the previous evening discussing with a friend.

Usagi doesn't. Instead, everytime he takes a slurp of his cold treat, she makes a sounds of longing, eyes wide and would put all the puppies to shame.

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke is sat down of in front of by Usagi who doesn't say anything at all, but he narrows his eyes at her. "....Hi Usagi. Are you here to yell at me too?" he asks softly.

He peeks. "Ugh..of course not. A moment...~" he says. He gets up and walks over to the counter and returns with TWO more milkshakes. One gets plopped in front of Usagi as he sighs and begins working on what seems to be his sixth or seventh milkshake.

"Here. Enjoy." he says as he begins to work on his milkshake.

"I'm pretty sure Ami-chan never wants to speak to me again. I'm sorry about that. I know she's your best friend and all. I just---I don't even know what I did wrong." he looks down.

"Still keepin' my promises n' all that." he says.

He removes the straw and just starts chugging the milkshake suddenly. Yeeeaaah there we go. a nice numb ice cream headache.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi blinks at the question. Well, no, she's not a yeller (lies she is) but--

He's up and gone before she can answer and comes back with milkshakes, TWO, one of them for her!

YAY!

Thanks for the food!

She rips the top of the straw wrapper off, and her eyebrows furrow as he talks.

When he's done, she slides the wrapper down just a little, takes aim, and with a precision born of having a younger brother, blows the wrapper at his forehead.

"Ami-chan doesn't hold grudges. And she doesn't hate you. She's just very confused right now."

And then she chucks a wadded up napkin at his face. "And if we were worried about secrets, you'd know."

She sighs and takes a slurp of her milkshake. Yummy!

Another sip! More yummy!

With a sigh, she sets the glass on the table.

She sighs and wonders how to continue.

She can't tell him about the possibility of a crush, because those are girl secrets.

"Just because two people fight doesn't mean things are broken. She doesn't hate you, Daisu-kun."

More Milkshake! More yummy!

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke sighs a bit. "Yeah..." he says as he closes his eyes. He sort of deflates. "It's kinda hard. I'm not used to a lot of this and all that, Usagi-san." he mutters. "I just wanna say I'm sorry and--- just. I dunno. I can't unconfuse her." he looks down. "I wanted her to like--- check me out for weird mind rays or something. really I was kind of pathetic." he says with a smirk.

He begins to chug the rest of the milkshake and then gets up. He gets another two. He sits back down. Oh god, he's going for ten isn't he!? Usagi gets another Milkshake even though she might not be done with the first.

"Yeah... I know. Just. ugh. Usually I'm good at dealing with people..." he looks down. "---but for some reason." he sighs.

Mari Katsu has posed:
    The Crown Arcade... an odd place to see the tennis prodigy of Verone, but it's not the first time Mari has paid a visit - although it's usually not for herself and more escorting her little sister or her friends. Not that there was anything wrong with the arcade, just that Mari tends to spend most of her time practicing. Today she was coming out to inspect the place as a potential dating spot, because Suzuki seemed to enjoy playing some of the games Mari kept on hand at the dorm incase her sister came to visit, so... the next logical step was to take her to a public arcade with a much larger selection of games and five times as many people, right?! ... It made sense to Mari anyway.

    To that end, Mari enters the arcade slowly, with her 'inconspicious' plush toy doll sitting on her shoulder, clipped to her collar by a belt fashioned out of a keychain and a strap done up to look fancy and totally not just thrown together in a night. Perhaps a bit more odd than that though is the fact that is the yellow tennis ball balanced on her head perfectly. As she enters the main room, she raises her right hand and waves to the clerk behind the snack bar and gives a slight smile, before she looks through the area and gives a polite wave to Usagi and Daisuke.. Not that she's met either of them personally, but it never hurts to be polite.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi gives a soft sigh. "She's not...a delicate flower. You know how smart she is. I mean, wow." She leans forward a bit. "She doesn't exactly know how to...I mean, you're the first friend she's made on her own. That may not mean much if you don't know her, but it's super important. Just..." She shrugs.

And then he's up to get more milkshakes. And of course hers has been finished since before she's started talking this pose, sheesh Daisu-kun you should know her better by now!

She hums as he speaks, blowing another straw wrapper at his forehead. "You don't need to deal. You just need to...be."

Her hand haves in confusion, and it turns to a genuine wave at the girl who'd just come in. She noticed the tennis ball and the plushie, but well, she faced a bunch of demon weasel things the other day, so, you know. Par for the course.

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke peeks over to Mari and squints his eyes. Is she balancing a ball on her head? That's kinda neat. He gives a friendly wave to Mari as he peeks back down at Usagi as he continues to do horrible things to his sugar levels in the name of calming himself. Motoki doesn't seem concerned so this is probably a usual thing with the Verone student.

He turns to Usagi. He blinks! "I..didn't know that." he says sheepishly and grabs his far arm, rubbing it sheepishly. "She seems to have a lot of friends." she says softly.

"I guess I didn't know." he looks down. "Nrg."

Yeah more Milkshake.

"That girl is balancing a tennis ball on her head really well."

Mari Katsu has posed:
    Mari smiles at the two as they return her wave and quietly tilts her head backwards so that the ball rolls off her head and down into her backpack behind her. A few moments pass before she makes her way over to an empty booth and removes her backpack with one arm, sitting down before she places the pack down beside her. Then she quietly reaches up and unhooks that little plush toy from her collar and sits it down on the table.

"Watch the bag for me." She states... to the doll? Then stands up and makes her way to the front counter and starts looking over the menu to try and decide what she wants to order while she's here.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Er...he didn't? Heh...oops.

(DON'T KILL ME, AMI-CHAN!)

Still, she scoffs. "Of course she has friends. Ami-chan is smart and beautiful and warm and cuddly. But...shy. It's just I'm a friend hog, so usually friends are made in a group."

She nods in thought as she starts to fold a crane with a napkin. It's...poor origami skills she has, but she tries to make the flappy kind. It looks kind of...sickly when it's done, but the wings move!

She stands up and places her deformed crane on the other table.

Then she gently pets the plushie because cute plushie is cute and then she sits back down.

"If I tried to balance a ball like that, I'd slip on it and likely cause a lot of property damage."

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke sighs. "Ami-chan called me a lost five year old. Like I said, she was upset---and.. I am lost sometimes with all these new things. I'm dealing with it better though. I mean. At least this is my normal reaction to issues." he grins as he motions to the milkshakes. "Instead of uh. Weird issues....

He sort of blinks. And squints. Is---is she talking to the doll? He leans in and squints a little at the doll.

Mari Katsu has posed:
    The doll, as dolls are known to do, just stares back at Daisuke as he leans in to stare. Of course, the 'doll' at this point was probably holding her breath as well.

    Mari just smiles as she returns to the table and sits down, pausing for a moment before she smiles at the other two. "Cute, isn't she? She's a gift from a friend of my father when i moved to verone from our country home... sort of a good luck charm to help with the transition to city life.". Mari explains before she smiles. "Her name is Raquel."

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi's eyebrows raise and, despite herself, she has the slightest quirk of an amused smile. "A five year old?" She waves a hand. "I'm not...laughing. It's just...Ami-chan is always polite. When she blows up, it's usually...a good thing? Kind of? But not that the fight was a good thing, but I have fights with my friends all the time. And then I hug them."

Usagi turns to the girl. "Hello, Raquel!" Yes. She's waving at a doll. "She's very cute. Hi, I'm Usagi!"

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke head tilts..."I dunno how'd that go over with me." he admits softly. Ami seemed to be concerned about his....boyness...afterall to some degree. He does however, smile. "I'll figure out...she can't...stay made at me forever. Right?"

...or via past life?

..ugh. magic is weird..

He grins.

"I see!" he says. "Well. She's very cute." He gives a soft bow. "My name's Daisuke Hanasuke. How are you?" he asks softly to Mari as he begins to chug that milkshake harder. Just two more and he'll be in tummyache heaven~

Mari Katsu has posed:
    Mari smiles a bit and nods her head. "I'm Mari Katsu.". Mari says as she nods in response to the two greeting Raquel before she smiles happily. "I'm fine. Just... well... checking around town for nice places to go for evening dates. The arcade was the first choice, so...". She shrugs her shoulders a bit. "Dating is something new to me."

    There's a short pause as a phone rings in Mari's pack, which she retrieves and examines for a moment before she smiles. "Whoops... I've gotta go..!". Mari states as she gets up quickly grabbing her pack and Raquel, then pauses looking to the food she ordered and smiles. " Uh sorry, would you mind taking that? I hate to see good food go to waste!". She calls out as she runs to the door. "Sorry to cut this short, I have to go pick up my sister!". She calls back before she darts out quickly.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi shakes her head. "Not forever, no." She sighs. "Just...don't take it personal if she takes a few days to think, okay? Ami-chan...thinks a lot. It's something she has to do. So."

Her new friend, who is amazing and wonderful, has left the gift of precious, precious food!

She waves at Mari and Raquel. "I'll make sure the food finds a good home! In my tummy!"

Happy hums, she gets the tray and sets it at her own table.

OMNOMNOM!!

She indicates some fries toward Daisuke.

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke moves his hand in and LOSES HIS HAND TO THE BUZZSAW THAT IS USAGI HAND AND MOUTH WORKING IN UNISON!----no he takes a fry and he noms it. Chew. Drink shake. Dip a fry- in the shake. Nom. OKay...one more...

He goes and orders. New Milkshake for Usagi. He sits back down.

"I'm giving her space." he says softly. "She can talk to me when she's ready...if I hear nothing in a week, I'll.... try I guess." he takes a deep a breath.

He looks down. "I'm not used to well.. people. Being upset at me." he admits. "So that's new to me, too. I feel bad and ashamed and---nrg." he just shakes his head. He smiles. "Just thanks for reassuring me Usagi. I feel better about it." he says as he steals another fry. One fry too many!?

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Yep, Daisuke really was close to losing limbs! Not really, because, you know.

Another shake! She wonders if she can catch up with him if she buys her own.

Meh, that thought isn't important enough to spend her own money on.

Chew chew chew SWALLOW! Milkshake slurp! NOMNOMNOM!

"Yeah. A week, I think. And odds are good you'll hear from or see her before then.

"People being upset isn't bad. My parents are upset at me all the time! But I know they love me, so." NOM NOM NOM! Wide grin! "You're welcome! Glad I could help!" Yay for helping!

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke huhs. "You're right, of course." he tsks as he finishes his last shake andddd-----

Angels sing down from the heavens----totally cold stomach---totally numb and achey. Now he has something else to worry about! This awesome milkeshake tummyache~

He sits back and smiles.

"Usagi-san...?" he asks. "Can you tell me a little bit about Chiba-san?" he asks softly. "It seems like you know him very well." he asks. His tone inflection is mostly neutral on this.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi preens. "Of course I am."

She enjoys her milkshake, happy hums, and then--

Her face takes on a pink hue. Her expression, which had been set in that of milkshake bliss, turns softer, and definitely filled with affection.

"Mamoru-kun?"

This topic of conversation warrents her to push her milkshake glass (STILL HALF FULL) aside so she can prop her chin on her hand.

"Well, he can be prickly. And he gets these worry eyebrows a lot." She tries to mimic, possibly looking comical. "You know those people who 'hate' cats and so the cats all climb on their laps? He's kind of like that with people. He doesn't hate them, but they come to him. He's really smart. He and Ami-chan can probably spend a whole month trying to out smart the other and never succeed." Oh, she wishes she can see that! She must suggest this.

She hums in thought some more.

Really, it's not that she doesn't have a whole bunch to say on the topic of Mamoru Chiba, it's just that, well, Shoujo Bubbles and Heart Eyes are already starting to fill the room.

"He doesn't like touching. He has...a bubble? Not an actual bubble, but. He lets me, though. Maybe I annoyed my way in so much he's immune?"

She shrugs.

"So I try to give him lots of hugs, because you know, getting hugs is vital to survival."

Serious nod.

"Just avoid touching him if you can, okay?"

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke sits back with his milkshake tummyache. "Huh? Yeah sure. I mean. Why would I be in that bubble?" he asks. "Unless I wanna stop him from falling in a puddle or something." he says. "Why would I be touching him?" he asks. It's a weird thing to ask after. 'Don't touch him okay!?'- what will he melt?
Himh god. He hopes not. Anything is possible now, right!?

"Yeah he comes off as someone who likes his own space. I don't bother him that's why- but.. I'd like to know a little." he smiles. "And I don't wanna make him uncomfortable with asking weird questions." he says.

"Thanks for answering that." he says. He doesn't seem to find Usagi's gushing or look weird. It feels... vaugely weirdly familar but he doesn't seem to care. He continues to smile.

"Milkshakes I bought you are on me of course." he says.

"Is Luna still watching me like a hawk? I still leave my window open like I promised, so... I dunno if she's been sneaking in and snooping around. That's her right if she wants."

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
She shrugs. "I don't know why you would. It's just something...that makes him uncomfortable? I guess?" Well, that's mostly true. Homura had mentioned something about visions, but she hasn't really had the chance to ask him about that.

Usagi grins, and it is a very amused one. "Don't worry. He'll let you know if he gets uncomfortable." He's very blunt at times, her Mamo-chan.

She brings her milkshake back over, swinging her legs and happily sipping more down. Then she's beaming! "Yay! Thank you!"

Free food AND free milkshakes!

Then Usagi is shrugging, again. "I don't know, maybe? She hasn't mentioned it. But I don't think it'd be more than prowling about, searching for quality tuna at this point." She taps her chin. "You could probably leave a note somewhere for her. Nothing specific, just like 'Hello, Luna, hope your day was good' or something. She would either appreciate that or be a bit creeped out, but, both works, I think!"

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke blinks. "Visions?...."

Chiba feels...important. Maybe--maybe he could ask about these visions. Not ask for a personal sample, but... maybe it'll give him insight of some sort to find the person he's seeking. This'll be silly later.

He shakes his head a moment. He smiles and gets up. "Thank you for speaking to me Usagi-san~ It helped a lot overall! I'll pay for the milkshakes now. I should head out and start the things I promised people today. I'm properly stomach frozen." he insists. "I'll leave a can of tuna and a thank you card for her next time I'm out. Worse--- my dorm'll smell like delicious fish for a bit."

"-and...if Ami-chan wants to talk to me-- and feels afraid to. I'm not upset at her. She can yell at me everyday and I don't think I'd be upset. Just. Letting you know. In case she asks or wonders at you..." he murmurs.

"Be well Usagi~" he says as he goes to pay- then take off!

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi has a smile and a wave for him. "Have fun!"

She finished the last of her milkshake slowly. And then, she too is off!
