Nightfall could happen in like a week and I'm doing HOMEWORK. What the fuck is wrong with me?

Who wants to go do something stupid before the world ends?

[It would never occur to him that someone might ask him to the prom at all. It might be why he doesn't pick up on what she's saying right away.]

You mean to go with a friend? Well, that would help with not being alone.

[infestedcouncilpresident]

A friend would definitely work!

[Oh god he didn't take the hint. She's going to have to spell it out.]

But I meant more specifically me!

[Well damn. He wasn't expecting that at all. So much so that he has to change his mode of communication to image. He doesn't know what he's supposed to type.

He's clearly shocked, which certainly cuts through his usually chill demeanor.]

You...you want to go with me?

[infestedcouncilpresident]

[After a few moments, Kohaku also switches to video. She is bright red.]

Is that a problem?

[nevernoaction]

Uh....

[His brain has gone somewhere. A pretty girl has asked to go to a dance with him. It honestly takes a minute for him to regain his intelligence in order to respond.]

No. No no that's not a problem. I'd...I'd really like to go with you.

[infestedcouncilpresident]

Great!

[She'd be faintly scandalized if she knew he thought she was pretty. She put a non-negligible amount of effort into avoiding that.]

I'm not, like, confessing my undying love or anything weird like that. But...I dunno.

You seem- [Good looking.] -cool.

[And he didn't set off her creep radar, which was very sensitive, but she couldn't think of a good way to say that.]

Do you want to start a prom thread?

[nevernoaction]

You do too. So I'd like to go with you.

Um. I know a few dances but not everything ever. I hope that's all right?

[He has zero guile in regards to this, mostly as he has zero experience. Only that he figures that being honest will be the best thing.]

Yeah I'll get something up

[infestedcouncilpresident]

I don't know a lot about dancing either. I haven't been to a dance in a while.

No wait, I went to the one a few months ago but I didn't dance with anyone.

[She just stabbed some daemons, and tried very hard not to freak out. Hopefully this one would go better.]

So...I'll see you at 8?

[No talk about who was picking who up. She literally lived down the hall from him.]

[nevernoaction]

All right. I'll see you then.

[He gets to go to a dance with an actual fun date? Friend date? Whatever. He will enjoy this prom way more now!]
