Current Absolutely everything is going my way. There's gotta be a cosmic balance sooner or later, but for now I'm just riding the high.

*cocks his head and puts one hand on his chin, supporting it with his elbow, which is resting on the arm he has held across his body*
No, no, I'm certain of it. I wouldn't forget a face like yours. I mean, not that you have a bad– it's just different– I mean it's– YOU HAVE A MEMORABLE FACE.
*blushes and stands rigid, arms held at his sides now, beginning to sweat from his forehead. His face, meanwhile, has similarly stiffened, with wide eyes and mouth pursed in a frown, head held back just a little as though to distance himself from his blunder. After holding the position for a moment, he relaxes into a slouch, defeated, and raises one arm, finger pointing up*
School. I think we go to the same school.
@Quest
No one blames you.
Deadlines are rough. We're just happy you could make it at all.

I'll probably be able to get up an IC post tomorrow.

Understood~ As much as that borderline-disappointments me, I can see how well it works for Yamamoto-san, as it kinda matches the whole "I have a humble job and I know it" thing he's got going on~ But when you do turn "cool and quiet but with hidden depths", please, PLEEEAAASEEE let me know~! :'3


It could be that he acts different outside of school, or just that he was in a hurry and is usually more in control of his emotions. There are a lot of ways I could do this; nothing's set in stone. It's all set in internet, which is much more malleable, really.

It counts as a Fuko daydream due to:
1) The same facial expression~
2) The same 'completely out of it and nothing can bring her back to her senses now'-ness of it~


I find these conditions to be ACCEPTABLE.

Edit: Let's be realistic, I'm your favorite awkwardly acquainted high school waiter acquaintance.
*fidgets about, uncertain what to do in this situation: he feels that it is impolite to let the stranger he ran into pick up after his mess, but also knows that it would be rude to stop her from doing something nice. Eventually settles on another sheepish grin as she straightens up and returns his books. Reaches out and grabs them, shoving them back into his backpack with at his side.*
Thank you, but you didn't have to do that, really. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble, I shouldn't have been so careless. It's all my fault and is there some way I can...
*trails off as he is able to get a good look at her face for the first time, having been too frantic before*
Hang on, don't I know you from somewhere? You look so familiar.
We are clearly on the same page here. It's just so adorable! "I'm human, but I don't want anyone to know. Except...well, I want to make a good impression on that one."
*accidentally makes a complete fool of himself*
"I AM NEVER TALKING TO PEOPLE AGAIN."
Ah, man, I love that. It's my favorite thing. And there's still time to retrofit it on him, but I think I'll keep going with hasty and bumbling.
Don't worry, "cool and quiet but with hidden depths". I'll come back to you some day.

Also that's not much of a Fuko daydream if there are no starfish involved.
Oh man, I've seen that picture. I want to make a poster of that attached to my ramble.

And I like your plan. It's very Princess and the Pauper, "royalty just wants to live with the commoners".
Also usually I RP as a sort of cool, silent type, but I figured for a slice of life I'd be a little bit more like...well, me. It sure makes things easier to write, haha.
Trust me, I'm completely okay with big "glasses" and random trivia. Mmm, I love me some...trivia. But, like, actually. Did you know that they just discovered a warm-blooded fish? I thought that was neat.
Also I have a teacher that spends all period discussing video games and comics and stuff with the class. It's great. He plays games with some of the students out of class.
Also also, the colored text idea sounds fine to me, just maybe we keep it to one color per character, so that it's also a way to keep track of who's talking, hm?

Man, I really should watch some more anime. But I made a promise: nothing else until I finish Naruto. That was last year. Naruto is so long. And most of the other animes I've watched aren't really the, uh, cute kind.
*helps her to her feet, then reaches a hand behind his head and scratches his neck, grinning abashedly*
Aha, no, no, it was my fault. I was rushing and I didn't see you there. Don't worry about me; I'm fine. But what about you? I plowed into you pretty hard there. I'm so sorry about that, I wasn't paying any attention and...well, are you all right, miss?
Ah well, I probably wouldn't have gotten that one anyway. I don't watch Lucky Star. Should I? Is it any good? Okay, obviously it's good, you watch it. Why is it good? I mean, I've heard of it, but I rarely watch anything without a recommendation.

About your latest IC post (to which I should really be responding immediately instead of discussing here), I just imagined the bumping-into-a-stranger scenario as being shot from a low angle close to the pavement and focusing on Yamamoto-san so that all you can see of the stranger (who I think can safely be assumed to be me) is the shoes, lower half of calves and hem of the dress, but then cuts to an angle looking from over Yamamoto-san's shoulder at the stranger to see it's in fact a random old man or something~ XD WHY is my mind so accursedly whimsical~?!


Yeah, that's about how I panned out in my head. Ambiguous so it could be you, but open enough that it could be an old guy if we need it to be.
...now with you mentioning the hem of the dress, I'm just imagining a slow pan up to this figure wearing a dress, then, as we reach the head, we find out it was an old guy all along. He's strange, wearing a dress, but don't judge him. He's had a long life and you don't know the half of it, sonny. Who are you to be running around, tackling the geriatric anyway? You kids these days are always so full of yourselves, thinking that only conventional dress style is okay and that it's unnatural for an old guy to wear a dress and I'm rambling. Whoops.

Edit: Should I refer to you as Sakura-hime or [Surname]-hime? You said you have the title of princess, but I don't know whether that's common knowledge or if I'd have to be told or what? What's the protocol here?
*finishes scrubbing down the last table, wipes nonexistent sweat from his brow, then looks up at the sky, one hand above his eyes to shield them from the sun...not that it did much good, as the sun was so low*
Agh, I'd better get home! I must have spent a long time cleaning up!
*picks up the box of cleaning equipment and rushes inside to the kitchen before hurriedly plopping it down and grabbing his book bag from a nearby chair in one fluid motion*
Man, Ma's gonna kill me if I'm home late again...
*speeds out the front door, bag flopping against his back, only to walk into someone only a strides later. Collapses to the ground in shock and pain, feeling more than a little shame at his blunder*
Owwwwww. Aw jeez, I'm sorry, uh...
*gets up and dusts himself off quickly, before reaching a hand to the victim of his collision in order to help them up as well*
