This is so exciting!! I know we've had some on and off adventures throughout the years, but this is super big for us!!! Our last game was on livejournal, and that was in 2010, and then we piddled around on tumblr for a bit, but now we're going back to a game!! TOGETHER!!!! And this game has Kyouya!! It's like you said "here, Renge. I want you to be the absolute happiest you've ever been and I'm going to send you somewhere your friends are and we're going to do SO. MANY. COOL. THINGS."

[she bounces on her toes, then twirls around, laughing the whole time.]

I know you've favoured Milly for years, but if there's anything I've learned from countless hours of obsessively playing dating sims and watching crappy rom-coms, it's that you never really forget your first love!! And I know FOR FACT that I was yours. You're not nervous, and neither am I. Plus your friends are coming along. I just hope your friends are as excited as you are to be playing pirates, and that my friends are as excited to see me as I am to see them again!!!

... (this person is loud.) Yosuga might be going to that place, too. Her mun has her reserved there.

Is it really so exciting?

[managedthat]

OF COURSE IT'S EXCITING!! It's thrilling in so many ways, so many ways that I might not even be able to count them all!! I haven't been in a game, with a chance at making friends, in so long. I'm ready for anything and everything!!!!!

Who is Yosuga, though? Your girlfriend from home?

1/2

[fakeonee]

Yosuga hadn't thought about it like that. She isn't as enthusiastic to make friends. She's never been too good at that sort of--

2/2

[fakeonee]

-- No. Yosuga is Yosuga. (gestures to herself...)

Who are you?

[managedthat]

Well, we can be friends when we get there, okay? Even if we're not really compatible, opposites do attract and all. We're going to have so much fun together!!

[she laughs, and flips her hair, then places her hands on her hips]

OH!!! I see! Third person is always fun. It's nice to meet you, Yosuga. I'm Renge Houshakuji, heir to the Houshakuji Shipping Conglomerate.

[fakeonee]

Friends? Opposites attract? (these aren't really things she's well versed in. in response, yosuga simply crinkles her nose.) Maybe.

Yosuga supposes it's nice to meet Renge, too. Though she doesn't quite understand anything you're saying. She's never heard of this...Houshaku... (???)

[managedthat]

Maybe is good, though! Means we've got a chance together, to be friends on a level unparalleled!! Anything is possible in the world of ~*~RP~*~!!

[she's too self-aware for this... fourth wall breaking ahoy!!]

Houshakuji Shipping Conglomerate! The company is Old As Balls, and we have ships everywhere, doing ship things, like bringing people products from all around the world, and bringing people all around the world too! I'm not really good on the specifics yet, but Dad says I'll learn when I'm all done with high school. Won't he be surprised when I come back and I know SO MUCH about actual ships!!!

[fakeonee]

Mm. Yosuga's mun does want her to make friends here. Yosuga just isn't good at it.

(and she just stares at renge as she begins to go on. she's so loud and bold, it almost feels as though she's going to topple over or be blown away like a leaf in the wind. the feeling is awkwardly familiar.) Houshakuji Shipping Conglomerate. Yosuga understands... maybe.

You talk a lot. Doesn't it get tiring? Yosuga has never been able to speak like you.

[managedthat]

Well, that could change!!! Everything changes, you know! And making friends is a great change, don't you think?

I do talk a lot! It's part nature, part making up for lost time!! I don't ever get tired of speaking, though a lot of people I know wish I did. It mostly wears people out, like my mun sometimes, but I'm always ready for action!!! I have a lot of energy and I'M NOT AFRAID TO USE IT!!!!!

[fakeonee]

Maybe. But sometimes it can be sad and confusing when things change.

(...or maybe she doesn't think so. she's obviously got her heads waaaay up in those clouds.) Yosuga can see that. Even if it tires people out, it isn't too much of a bad thing. You remind Yosuga of somebody she knows. Kind of.

[managedthat]

True. But it's more sad and confusing when things are stagnant! Means something isn't right... I look forward to growing up and getting to shape my life now. Change is good!

Oh? Who do I remind you of? A good friend of yours? A rival? A childhood crush? I hope I remind you of a fabulous and gorgeous woman that you met once. I think I could pull off "femme fatale" somehow.

[haruhi_fujioka]

Manager? Are you really coming?

[managedthat]

Of COURSE I am! That reserve isn't there to taunt you all, Haruhi-kun! I want to be with you all again, and this is the place to do it!!!

[onthebrighterside]

Excitement is my middle name! Well, I mean, not literally, but in a metaphorical sense. If metaphorically speaking, I have a middle name. Which, I mean, I do, it's just not Excitement. Er.

...I am excited, too.

[managedthat]

I'M GLAD TO HEAR IT!!!!! I don't have a middle name, but if I did, it would probably be "hella" or "NO WHY DON'T DO THAT". "Excitement" is a good middle name-- you should put it next to your real middle name and have two middle names. The more names you have, the more pretentious you sound!! Though, I think "Excitement" takes away some Pretentious Points.

You're going to be a pirate too, right?

[onthebrighterside]

Richard Excitement Spender just doesn't have the classiest of rings to it. Do you have a point system for pretentious behavior set already? I can see that being absolutely handy considering our current destination.
Ehem... Arr. (I'm still working on my pirate. It might be a little unrefined.)

[managedthat]

I know classy, and really, you out-class half of them! Speaking of, I totally do have a point system ready and used quite often. I mean, you gotta keep your fancy pants prostitute boys in check, after all.

THAT WAS WEAK!! YOUR PIRATE WAS SO WEAK!!!!! I will not stand for this sham ONE!!! BIT!!!! You need a coach, the best coach to ever coach-- that's me, by the way. You must FEEL the pirate in you, BECOME THE PIRATE!!! Like so. [a dainty little cough, then--] AVAST YE, RICHARD SPLENDID!!! THE OCEAN IS MY ONE TRUE LOVE, AND I WILL BE WITH HER FOREVARRRRRGH!! YE BE A BILGERAT NOW, BUT AS I AM SURE MY SHIP STAYS HER COURSE, YE COULD BE A BUCCANEER TO YER CORE SOON ENOUGH!!! AHOY MATEYS!!!!!! OFF WE GO TO NEW WORLDS AND ALL THE TREASURE YE COULD IMAGINE!!!!!!!!!!

See? It's not that hard!!

[onthebrighterside]

I don't know which point I want reiterated more: the "fancy pants prostitute boys" or the reason behind you using a Pretentious Points system to keep them "in check".

I don't believe I need a coach, but rather, a teacher. The best teacher.
Which for all intents and purposes is not me by any stretch of the imagination, but that's more of an opinion than a factual statement. That was a well conducted structure, minus the abrupt "ahoy mateys" thrown in, but look on the bright side, that probably won't deduct any points at all. Probably. Unless it does.

[managedthat]

I'll cover both because I'm nice like that. Host club! Ouran Academy, where I go, has a host club, which is basically like hot guys entertaining girls with food and conversation and fanservice and such... it's all very anime!!! They don't do anything sexual with the customers, but we do our very best to wring them all dry of their parent's money! I'm their manager, which so makes me a PG-13 pimp. I keep them in check any way I like because we have money to make and events to host, and Kyouya-senpai would be disappointed/terrifying if the other hosts went all... willy-nilly.

It was perfect! Perfect in every way! I'm sure a REAL pirate would give me a 10!!! I get to keep all my points, and probably someone else's too. I'm not a teacher, though. Coaching is what I do. If you have natural talent, I will make it FLOURISH!!!!! I can't teach you to be anything more than you are.

[onthebrighterside]

I feel like I've had a student at some point or another make a reference to something like this. It's not coming to mind at the moment, though.

10 points? Is there another name for these points? Because I feel like "Pirate Points" and "Pretentious Points" might get confusing, especially if you decide to initial them with PP.

[managedthat]

Well, it'll come to you eventually! I'm sure of it.

I didn't think I was going to need to rename my points... But I think I'm the only one getting Pirate Points, and everyone else is getting Pretentious Points. Even if the initials get confusing, I'm pretty sure you'll know when you're getting one type of point of the other.
