worrying about characterization with crushes

[princesspool]

You need to have more confidence! This is a foreign situation for the both of us, but you don't need to worry about being 'out of character'! I'm sure if the other players thought you were approaching this situation the wrong way, they'd inform you. But first and foremost, you must believe in your own playing powers! You can hear me, so type through me!

I know you can write my voice as I go through this crush!

[...]

That is, if I had a crush.

Which I'm not saying I do.

Sonia-san! You needn't hide your true feelings for me, especially if your mundane remains so worried about them.

[princesspool]

Teruteru-san, I think we should all be proud your confidence will never be broken.

[shrimpy]

Confidence is often an attractive trait. In fact, I'm swelling with confidence right now!

oh my GOD

[princesspool]

My goodness, my mun just screamed like the victim of a popular horror film. I think your confidence is too much for her!

[shrimpy]

Heh heh... Maybe I could give you a confidence boost, Sonia-san?

[princesspool]

Can you really share such a thing? I would appreciate all the confidence you can spare! I want all of it, every single bit of it!

[sonia nooooo]

[shrimpy]

Are you sure? Many people want my confidence, but very few can handle it.

[princesspool]

I assure you, I can do this! No matter how much there is, I promise to take it all in! I won't give up, I won't surrender!

[SONIA NOOOO]

[shrimpy]

Ah, but Sonia-san, as much as I would love to fill your with my confidence, I would expect something in return!

[princesspool]

Oh!

How rude of me, I deeply apologize for this transgression! But I am a woman of my word, and I intend to go through with this transaction! Surely I must have something that has the same worth as Teruteru-san's confidence!

[SONIA NOOOOOO]

[shrimpy]

[hanamura is thanking the d_m gods that komaeda isn't around to stop this]

How about... your panties?

[princesspool]

My panties...?

[Thankfully she gets such a wrong idea.]

Oh, Teruteru-san... I had no idea you were so desperate for money!

[gekiken]

From what little I have seen with my mundane, it seems as though 'crushes' and 'relationships' are quite common.

[ Not, of course, that she would know the first thing about them. Nope, definitely not. ]

[princesspool]

My mundane has rarely gone through a role playing experience where the crushes and relationship was not canon, so she is very nervous as to how this would play out.

If such a situation existed here, which it does not.

[wheee sailing on the river of denial together.]

[gekiken]

If one has no intention of letting one's feelings out, I fail to see how it would affect anything at all.

[ Peko isn't sailing, she's more.....casually poking a hole in the bottom of her own boat. ]

[princesspool]

What an excellent way of putting it! Your wisdom shines through as brightly as a polished sword! You must be excellent with relationships, Pekoyama-san!

[and off we drown.]

[gekiken]

[ Taken a bit aback by that, because....hahaha. ]

...I must admit, I have never had the time for such frivolous matters.

[princesspool]

Really? I am truly surprised! A young woman as beautiful as you has never had a single suitor?

[gekiken]

...Many people are too intimidated to approach me for conversation. I imagine the few who would be...interested in such things are likely among them.

[princesspool]

Any man who would be worthy of you must rise above such things! Hold your head high, along with your bar of eligible men! You deserve only a good man with honor and nobility!

[gekiken]

Even if I were not focused on other duties, I could not possibly deserve someone that highly regarded...

[needlephilia]

B-but it's... I think it's beautiful to have a crush. Love is beautiful...!

[princesspool]

That couldn't be more true, Mikan-san! Love is a great and wonderful bond, and crushes should be cherished!

... But I'm not saying I have one.

[needlephilia]

Is that so...? I'm sorry! I shouldn't have been so insistent...! I was too pushy!

[princesspool]

Not at all! In fact, I believe this is a very common occurrence within the common youth! Don't young girls like us normally discuss crushes, with the maiden who is in fervent denial being called a Tsundere? It's like my favorite magical girl anime!

[needlephilia]

Tsun... Dere? I... I don't know. I've never really talked about that sort of thing!

[princesspool]

Really?

I thought the basis of a meaningful Japanese relationship was when the girl member of the couple loudly denied their feelings while occasionally smacking the boy in the face.

[needlephilia]

Oh! Oh, I've often been asked out by boys as a joke! A-and then...! No matter my response, they would laugh and look disgusted! It really amused them and their friends!

Something like that?

[princesspool]

...

Tsumiki-san, may I have your permission to hug you?

[needlephilia]

Wha - why?! Are you feeling unwell? Hugs can trigger a psychological comfort, but I could give you a full check-up, if... if you need one!

[princesspool]

I don't need to be looked after in such a way, but sometimes when you speak, you remind me of how different and unfair lives can be. I want nothing more than to hold you and tell you everything's okay, like a mother kitten nuzzling her babies!

[needlephilia]

I... I apologize for imposing such a feeling of responsibility on you!

[princesspool]

Apology accepted!

[YOU'RE GETTING A HUG DAMMIT]

[needlephilia]

[ HAS NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH THIS?? HANDS?? GO?? STRAIGHT OUT?????? ]

[princesspool]

[... okay admittedly this is not going as planned.]

What are you doing?

[needlephilia]

I don't know! I-I'm sorry!

[princesspool]

You need not apologize for things that you do not understand. All I want is for us to hug like friends.

... Have you never had a hug from a friend...?

[needlephilia]

S-such kindness...?! No, I never have!

[princesspool]

Then let it be known right here and right now that you are officially being hugged by a friend!

[needlephilia]

Eh? ... Ehehe... Ehehehe! Hehehehe! I'm so happy...!

[princesspool]

So am I! I'm super hella happy!

[needlephilia]

S-so then, as female friends, s-should I... Ask you about your crush? So that you can deny it vehemently?

[princesspool]

Ask away, and I will continue to deny every single aspect of it!

[needlephilia]

It can't be Souda-san, right? I know that much! [ woah cruel ]

[princesspool]

You know me so well, Tsumiki-san! Look, we're bonding already! It's definitely not Souda-san, although I will not confirm having a crush on anyone!

[i'm so sorry souda]

[needlephilia]

Is it... Hinata, perhaps?
