*nods briefly, then smiles and starts to walk away*
If I didn't know better I'd say you were trying to get rid of me, haha. But you're right, my Ma's gonna be really mad at me already for being so late. Bye, Sakura!

[And with that, he ran off into the quickly fading light. Already the sky above had transitioned from peach and tangerine to a deep, midnight blue. Streetlights began to flicker on, streets suddenly lit one at a time. But by the time all had come on, he was already out of sight.]

How does a steampunk Fire Emblem roleplay sound?

@ToadRopes Yeah, I'd probably make it 1.5x instead. That's a solid boost without being extremely overpowered. It's the equivalent of a Luna boost, I think. Could be interesting to see a Luna/Bide build, if it were a canon thing.

@Trinais They look mighty nice, and it's good to see this starting to flesh out. A two-person RP is fun and all, but I think this was designed for the inclusion of a few more people than that.

Actually, even how it's going already, I could easily see this being made into an anime. I can visualize it.

Final transmission of the night: "Goodbye, my people. Know that I always loved you."

Edit: I lied. I was still awake and it was too perfect a place to end it on for me to leave that until morning. Chapter 1, Fin.

*snaps back to a standing position and somewhat hesitantly accepts the lolli. Furrows his brow and frowns a little, then speaks*
Honestly, I'm a little confused. I knock you down and you pick up my books. You start to cry, but then you give me a lollipop. Either something strange is going on here, or you're the most forgiving person I've ever met.
I...I've really gotta get going home, but do you think I could get your name in case we see each other in the halls or something?

Oh, er, sorry. My name's Ichiyo Yamamoto. Sorry we had to meet like this. I promise I'll be more careful if I see you again.
*deftly swaps the lolli between hands and reaches his right arm out once more, this time as a salutation*

@Princess Sakura It's a serious issue! Because right off the bat you feel bad, regardless of whether or not you actually did anything wrong. Then it's like, "I have to figure out what's wrong without pushing the issue and making it worse." And sometimes they'll tell you to drop it or not to ask, but really they want you to and sometimes they don't. The whole thing's a minefield. I like to think I'm a pretty deft minesweeper, but all it takes is one misstep and suddenly I'm minus one leg.

Edit: Don't worry about it. I'm not really tired, I just know I'm gonna have to sleep or I'll really regret it tomorrow. I'm gonna say my goodbyes at five o'clock, your time. Until then, we're safe to keep going.
By which I mean yes, you should post another IC. I'm enjoying this.

@Princess Sakura Hehe. I figured that was what you'd meant, but I wanted to clarify nonetheless. And honestly, Yamamoto's reacting about how I would in the situation. I have absolutely no idea how to deal with crying women. With guys I know how to give advice and with children all you have to do is make them laugh. But crying women are inscrutable. Perhaps one day the world will see me understand how to handle that kind of situation.

Nah.

Edit: Yeah, I'll more often find a picture that roughly fits the general concept I want to go for, then fill in details from there. Also jeez, four o'clock? You must be on the other side of the pond. I'm probably gonna sleep in just a bit anyway; it's approaching midnight here and I have to wake up at six thirty. I function rather poorly without sleep.

Acquaintanceship: Like friendship for the socially inept!

And technically, I said "not that you have a bad face". But yeah. I love the whole 'tripping over your words because you're accidentally offensive' thing.

In other news, I went back and retrofitted all my dialogue with color.
Yamamoto-san, brought to you by Technicolor.

How does a steampunk Fire Emblem roleplay sound?

Oh man, I love the idea, largely because I'm a huge fan of Fire Emblem and steampunk both. There's no way I could participate though; I've already got my irons in so many fires.
Just one thing, though: Bide seems a bit overpowered to me. Generals already have a fairly damage output, and to double that just seems ridiculous, even if they have to endure a reverse-vantage to get it.

*remains in his defeated position, awaiting a reaction. When none is forthcoming, he raises his head for a moment and sees her standing there, trembling. Thinking it's out of laughter, he straightens up and begins again.*
Aheh. Sorry about that. I didn't...wait, what? Are...are you crying?! GAH! What happened?! Are you hurt? Oh man, I knew I hit you pretty hard...do you need me to, I dunno, get a bandage or something? I can get you some first aid, we have a kit back at the café. Or, or, uh, do you need me to take you home or something oh god stop talking find out what's wrong first before making promises agh.
*has worked himself into a frenzy, searching her for cuts, bruises, or scrapes...from an appropriate distance, of course*
