RP POST: The Perils of Personal Ads

[wright_idea]

He doesn't want to take the responses, but he knows they're coming.

Well, he thinks he knows. Maybe he'll get lucky and nobody will respond at all. But Phoenix somehow doubts he's that lucky, to be honest. With his luck it's going to be some crazy person with a gun, or who is an assassin in their home dimension, or thinks the color green is really funny. Or who jumps straight to sex. That seems to be common in the Nexus.

He sits in his office, tapping his fingers nervously. Phew. He wishes he could find whoever posted that thing.

((Feel free to post responses to the personal ad here! Poor Phoenix.))

He takes up a silly voice. "Your silly science has no place in... the NEXUS! Bum bum bum." He snickers a bit.

"Wow, free. Wish more things came free," he says, sighing a bit. He blinks, though. "Frenh? Can't say I'm familiar..." he admits.

He lets her touch. There's... something oddly comforting to her touch, and he's almost a little sad when she pulls away. He can't really explain it, though. "Um, do I pass, then?" he asks, a little self-consciously.

Well, it wasn't like he had much to begin with.

((YEYS :3 Will respond more in the morning, if thread allows.))

"Nooo," she says in a dramatic tone with a bit of flailing. She enjoys joking around after all.

"...D'oh. I mso totally meant French. And I think it's because everyone feels guilty that we can't enjoy the arts like everyone else. Which is baused. You just need creative ways of doing it. Like tormenting friends by making them discribe things."

That gets him a grin. "Yeah. You pass. Not like I'm giving you a written test Phoenix. I'm willing to bet you look good. But to me that totally isn't the point. It's just...easier to get to know someone through touch for me."

Phoenix blinks. "Oh, I thought maybe it was some obscure language from your world, eh heh..." He shakes his head. Silly Phoenix. "So I'm guessing you're going to have a load of fun if we were to ever go to an art gallery or something." Phew, he can imagine THAT. Though maybe it wouldn't be so bad, actually.

He blushes a bit at the compliment. "Well, that's good to hear, anyway. Wouldn't want you to get stuck with someone who ISN'T a little attractive, I guess," he says. He's been told he's attractive, of course; however, it's sort of nice hearing it from a woman for once.

She blinks right back a very confused look on her face. Right. He was kidding. "Well, I actually like art galleries...But I get tickets for the muesum alot too."

Why that might just be an offer.

That gets a grin. "Well you are. Attractive that is."

[wright-idea.livejournal.com]

He smiles. "The museum, huh? Is it a nice one in Gotham? I think I might want to see it sometime." Which may or may not have a question attached to that

He blushes again. "Well, uh, thanks. You're not so bad yourself," he replies.

[blindingtrust.livejournal.com]

She grins lightly. "Well there's actually a few different museums in Gotham. But the World History museum is one I frequent, along with the Natural History museum. They're both nice. I've been told they're lovely to see." She bites her lip quickly. Go courage go. "...Would you like to go sometime?"

"...T-Thanks." Now she's blushing too.

He ponders. He hasn't dated at all, since... HER. But maybe... maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to try again? After all, she was an anomaly, and it was silly to cut himself off based on one relationship gone bad, wasn't it?

So he smiles. "Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that."

[blindingtrust.livejournal.com]

Of course that gets a bright grin from Ivy. Asking him had been hard due to her own hang-ups. The fact he said yes made it much better. Much mental happy squeeing.

"Um. There's a new display this weekend, it's a Norse thing that's on tour. Would that be all right?" She thought it would be interesting. "There are also other enents going on too at the art galleries, and the Natural History muesum if Vikings don't float your boat."

[wright-idea.livejournal.com]

Phoenix thinks. "This weekend? Yeah, that might be nice. I haven't really had a proper day out in a while... I might take you up on that."

If nothing else, he's never been to another world. This... could be interesting.

[blindingtrust.livejournal.com]

She looks happy. Mostly because this is so...nice. "I'd like it if you did, but you don't have to if you don'r want to. Oh and if you do? It's usually hot in Gotham this time of year. But um, jackets are handy. It rains alot towards the evening."

She's trying to be sure he doesn't feel pressured. Oh and she still can't belive how well this is going.

Phoenix nods. "Okay, well, it's a date then. Um, if you could give me the PIN coordinates and a time?" Phew. He hopes this goes well. He can be a total dork romantically.

[blindingtrust.livejournal.com]

She nods in return and pulld up the cordinates on her PIN, so he can see. She can't see them of course. "...How does four sound?"

But he's doing pretty well. He hasn't scared her off or anything.

[wright-idea.livejournal.com]

"Works for me. See you then?" He grins, actually feeling pretty excited.

[blindingtrust.livejournal.com]

"Of course!" Now she's gotta find clothing for that day...Hmmm.

(( Oh too much cute. Sorry. But...this ammuses me.

And should I set up a thread?))

[wright-idea.livejournal.com]

((Go ahead. :3))
