[ so guess giyuu (washiko) is going on a date with gainusu?? they are the princely type...ish? they're polite and giyuu knows nothing about dates but he's just treating it as any other kind of conversation.
is he doing well? is he doing poorly??? who knows. he has no idea if he really knows. either way giyuu is just... ]
he'll look at the options and see how one is telling him to keep talking or press them for a personal question. clearly the option that seems to be worthwhile in a game like this, he's understanding, is to press for more personal information.
it's their first date and he already wants the chisme.
now to see how that all pans out? is it okay to ask about someone's potentially dead parents before appetizers have hit the table or should he at least wait until dessert?? ]
[ steak...? giyuu will honestly look to see if he can order steak and it's only when he can't that he gives up. nothing but more lines and lines of dialogue greet him that have him just frowning. well, "frowning". ]
No. [ there are all of the telltale signs of things going poorly. change of music, the expressions.... giyuu's expression sours itself at the fact that things aren't going well. ]
They seem to be uncomfortable.
[ especially given how there are nothing but ellipses on the screen with the gainusu on the screen not looking at them. ]
[ he taps his chin, trying to figure out how to fix this. it is unfortunate that the only "dating" he has done is with another ancient being who does not know how dating work, but this is fine. ]
[ tsuru you're supposed to be guiding giyuu during this journey through otomes?? he doesn't know how these things are supposed to work!! either way he goes to look for something that could...work.
[ well that isn't completely false even though this is a game. actually, giyuu is totally thinking of this in terms of the game and suddenly it seems far deeper than he expected.
which means that giyuu questions nothing and looks back at the screen to do just that...and upon asking about what is wrong, giyuu is introduced to blocks of text that dictate parts of gainusu's backstory and how it was also uncomfortable to bring up right from the start.
it's a lot to read but giyuu is patient. it seems to be...going well??? the bad mood seems to have been lifted. is. is this how human conversation goes? ]
[ tsuru would have been valid since. well. gestures to all of giyuu after the whole ordeal. that said, some games before that awful reveal would be nice.
but, uh, he's still not putting up any kind of resistance because ??? ]
he's aware enough of what the entertainment section is by now but. uh??? what friend of their's is going to be located here? is he thinking of someone that they both should watch on the tvs?? ]
[ he definitely would not be able to tell because this is giyuu.
but, uh, he is going to sincerely think of who he could have forgotten because sadly it is something that he could do. give him a while but given the context of going to the electronics... ]

Is this how dates work?
[ HE'S BEING VERY SERIOUS HERE. ]
no subject
[ it's truly unfortunate that giyuu asked tsurumaru this. he seems very happy to explain this. ]
Sort of. There is usually much more touching.
no subject
More touching?
no subject
[ giyuu gets told something normal while kara had to deal with that bullshit ]
no subject
A simple caress of the cheek.
[ he repeats it as he looks back at the options that he has on screen.
...
and i also feel intensely tired. ]
There is no option for that in the game.
no subject
We can try to choose an option that may lead us down that path.
no subject

no subject
[ you cannot actually choose the food option, or see what is on the menu, but that sounds like a fun thing to eat on a date. ]
Are you having trouble with a decision?
no subject
No. [ there are all of the telltale signs of things going poorly. change of music, the expressions.... giyuu's expression sours itself at the fact that things aren't going well. ]

We should offer our loyalty to him.
[ tsuru why are you abandoning tideo ]
no subject
> apologize
> ask what's wrong
???? ]
Loyalty?
[ but lets also real talk here for a moment. ]
You mean to abandon Tideo?
no subject
[ tsuru this is a video game
but he gestures ]
Why don't we ask him?
no subject

washiko time. ]
no subject
also is he just gonna drag him off without any kind of pretense???? ]
Tsurumaru?
no subject
We have much to catch up in!
no subject
but, uh, he's still not putting up any kind of resistance because ??? ]
We do?
no subject
[ he is still not explaining. that said, giyuu may notice he's being pulled to the entertainment section. ]
Do you remember our friend?
no subject
he's aware enough of what the entertainment section is by now but. uh??? what friend of their's is going to be located here? is he thinking of someone that they both should watch on the tvs?? ]
Our friend?
[ ... ]
Which one?
no subject
[ he gasps, but it's teasing
giyuu may not be able to tell though. ]
no subject
but, uh, he is going to sincerely think of who he could have forgotten because sadly it is something that he could do. give him a while but given the context of going to the electronics... ]
...Washiko?
no subject
It's been a while, right?
no subject
[ there's something nice about all of this? even though they're dead. ]
I got the game and the machine to play it while I was still alive but I was lacking the monitor.
[ and power..... ]
no subject
[ he gestures around. ]
Can you go get it?
no subject
[ my small fish brain wanted to have giyuu store it with in his sleeves but that's pushing it, so instead he'll nod. ]
It won't take me long. [ ...hm. does giyuu remember where he put it all. ] Shouldn't take me long.
