11- Worst birthday ever.

[bestsweater]

I'm just...glad everyone's okay. And not dead. I guess if there's anything I can do for anyone, just let me know.


[Private to Raiden, painfully hackable.]

I need your help.

...Girl advice.

[Private to Misty, also painfully hackable.]

Can I ask you a question?

private, only slightly less hackable

[oh hai brocko]

Oh, sure! What is it?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

...What do girls like?

[Private, unhackable]

[reign-of-power.livejournal.com]

Tsk tsk. You'd think we have a counselor and teacher for this type of advice.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

What? I don't think we've even met.

And it's none of your business!

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

Oh! Well, girls are usually different! Depending on the girl, though, some love flowers! Some other girls like jewelery, make-up, and pretty dresses. Some might even like cute things like charms and pendants shaped like hearts! They're really romantic, don't you think?

Why are you asking? [As if she needs to ask. It's Brock.]

[reign-of-power.livejournal.com]

We have met. In the corridors. Perhaps I didn't seem that imposing for you. I'll have to try harder next time.

Ganondorf Dragmire, I teach Sexual Education, amongst other thing. I'm sure you've gotten a pamphlet or read a poster or two about my counciling advice.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Well, you never introduced yourself.

I've seen them around.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Not...so much material stuff. What do girls like? In a guy, I mean.

Um. Nooo reason.

[reign-of-power.livejournal.com]

Then you'll have to forgive me for not doing it before, kid.

Perhaps a little gift from myself to you then would be the most apt, then.

[And you can't say no because he's already sending a lovely basket your way]

For someone who's teaching the masses about breeding, you sure do not know about your own species works.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

I know how my own species works! There's more to it than sex.

[reign-of-power.livejournal.com]

Truely, I would have never suspected such a thing. Sexual Counseling doesn't just mean dealing with sexual problems.

I just like to lead all conversations into it.

How old are you?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Then why call it "sexual counseling"? Why not "general relationship counseling"?

I turned twenty-three on Sunday.

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

No reason? [She does not bayleef. :| But she'll roll with it.] Okay...

But well, girls like for a guy to be very patient in the relationship! Getting too touchy will result in a punch in the balls won't do! Let's see, what else? You don't have to, but showing that you love her in a moving way sometimes is a good idea, too! All kinds of girls want that from a guy! It's not necessary, but it sure does help!

But most importantly, girls just want their guy to be himself. That's the biggest part! Even if the guy is nervous, because girls don't mind that either! They might even think it's cute!

[oh god she could go on all day]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Too touchy. Oh no. He already SURPRISE MADE OUT WITH HER. WHAT IF THAT IS WRONG AND BAD.]

This is hard.

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

[BROCK MAN IT'S AN EXCEPTION IF YOU'RE GONNA DIE SOON OR SOMETHING 8( 8(]

Relationships are never easy! They are worth it, though. Believe me! [Even though her last one lasted... only a day. Dammit Ethan.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

I'm just...worried I'm going to mess something up.

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

Mess something up?

[MISTY SENSES... AN IMPLICATION.] I- I knew it! It really WASN'T for no reason, was it?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Like do something wrong and say something stupid and then have her never want to speak to me again.

[OH GOD WAIT NO BACKPEDAL BACKPEDAL] Well, um. I mean. I...Erika and I...

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

...

You? And Erika?

...

You and Erika?! Really?!

[STARE. MIND IS BLANK. THOUGHTS PROCESSING AT A CHUGGING PACE. LEAVE MESSAGE AFTER THE BEEP.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Well. I thought we were dying so I made out with her but then we weren't dying and--

Misty I'm taking her out tonight and I have no idea what to do.

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

[... SCREAM. This is too cute. Too very shocking, but TOO. CUTE.]

That's... That's so sweet! Confessing to someone before that... It's just like in the movies!

[Oh yeah. Helping Brock. Oh yeah, that.] Well, just be friendly and be yourself! Maybe give her a flower and compliment her on her looks! I know Erika loves flowers anyway. She'd love that! And where are you taking her? You could take her to a cafe with a flowery decor!

[Blah blah shut up Misty]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

It just...seemed like the right thing to do.

I was thinking a restaurant downtown? Would that be okay? Should I wear anything special?

I don't...ever take girls out.

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

A restaurant in town sounds perfect, too! I think she'd like that!

Erika's always seemed really formal, so maybe you should try a tux with a bow-tie! Something medium orange like your sweater? It looks like a great color on you!

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

An orange tux?

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

Of course! It's different from the usual black tux anyway!

It might not look good on most people, but it'd look great on you!
