Excuse me, 'Welcome Ball' what is that? Everyone 'Welcome Ball' is saying. What should I wear? Now I just have this yukata. Should I wear yukata?

...And do I need a date?

Really sorry. I do not know nothing.　I've been reading everyone's message, but I do not know at all.

[ This message is brought to you by Google Translate, which is my best approximation of what someone who happens to be a genius might sound like after a week of learning English. Below it is more or less the same message in Japanese, only far less broken. ]

Excuse me, but what is this 'Welcome Ball' everyone is talking about? I have some understanding that it is a kind of formal event, but I'm afraid I've only limited exposure to social gatherings. As far as formal wear goes, I only have the yukata I arrived in as well as my school uniform. I am curious to know what everyone else is doing.

I also believe I saw someone mention a date. In English, a 'date' in the possessive is the kind that implies romantic involvement or interest, if I'm not mistaken. Are dates the status quo for a 'Welcome Ball'?

My deepest apologies if this message is redundant or if this information is readily available and I have simply missed it. This first week has been a little overwhelming, to say the least.

I don't think a date's necessary. We've only been here for a week, I think nine days... a date seems like a lot to expect.

[madeforbreaking.livejournal.com]

I understand. Thank you. I do not know of dating. You could teach me?

[ Language barriers suck more than I anticipated. 8'D Haku may go hunting for a translating doohicky soon. ]

[nordr.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I'm the right guy for the job.

[madeforbreaking.livejournal.com]

Not right? [ Oh, he gets it. =w=b ]

If I find out, should I share notes with?

[nordr.livejournal.com]

Nope. I'm good without them.

... have you never heard of dating at all?

[madeforbreaking.livejournal.com]

Heard of, yes.

...but only heard of. Too busy to study dating.

[nordr.livejournal.com]

Nothing wrong with that.

[madeforbreaking.livejournal.com]

No, not wrong. I think this also. But in new world, good to study new things. Not knowing is possible to be dangerous.

[nordr.livejournal.com]

They don't exactly have classes on dating, but... that's a good attitude. I guess.

[madeforbreaking.livejournal.com]

'Good attitude'. Thank you. You are very kind.

My name is Haku. Your name is?

[nordr.livejournal.com]

The name's Cloud. Nice to meet you.

[madeforbreaking.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you too. Will Cloud be at 'welcoming ball'?

[nordr.livejournal.com]

I might stop in for an hour, at the beginning. Before it gets too crowded.

[madeforbreaking.livejournal.com]

[ Good luck with Reno letting you leave, Cloud. ]

Will it be okay to see Cloud at 'welcoming ball'?

[nordr.livejournal.com]

[ ]

Sure. No problem.

[madeforbreaking.livejournal.com]

[ Never. 8) ]

I am glad. &hearts

[nordr.livejournal.com]

How will I recognise you? There's gonna be a lot of people in there...

[madeforbreaking.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, that is right. For Cloud to find easier, I will wear yukata. It is like... robe? No sleeves, pink, and length to my knees. I have long black hair and tea color eyes.

And you?

[nordr.livejournal.com]

[ ]

Blond hair. Spiky. I'll be in uniform.

[madeforbreaking.livejournal.com]

[ ;; Awh, you think so? &hearts Cloud's pretty squishy himself. /paws all over him with various muses. ]

I will look for spiky blond hair in uniform who answers to 'Cloud'!

[nordr.livejournal.com]

[ ]

Got it.

[madeforbreaking.livejournal.com]

[ /feels much better. ;; Haku's one of my favorite muses, but all my previous attempts at playing him have somewhat crashed and burned. o7 Thanks for the vote of confidence~ ]
