[BBS] What's in a Date?

Since we all come from various different backgrounds, I'm curious as to what everyone of age deems a good date?

Are there any cliches where you're from that you want to avoid? Or perhaps customs that are absolutely required? When you want to go formal, do you prefer big and splashy or something quiet and intimate? Of course generally it's best to tailor such a thing to the person you're dating, but what if they're not sure? Do you bring a gift, and what kind, or is that too over the top? Perhaps something from the heart is better.

Anyone got particular favorite date ideas they've been on or wish-dates to fulfill?

All right. [Insert random appropriate time here.]

I'll meet you then.

[SHALL WE THREAD OUT THIS MADNESS if so just assume Japan is waiting at the meeting spot. Like. Fifteen minutes early yes.]

[Speaking of madness, Marco just tackles him in phoenix form as a greeting. What is personal space?]

Uwah! [ALL OF THE STUMBLING OH JESUS WHAT IS-- oh it's Marco]

D-do not startle me in such a way!

Chirp! [Perches a little and just rests his head on top of Japan's. THIS IS TOTALLY NORMAL.]

...

[Holds up his sketchpad]

It feels strange showing this to a bird... [HINT HINT... gfsdkljgkd]

[Sad bird note and removes his feet to turn back up into a human -- though he still leans on Japan's head affectionately.]

Eh? These are really good! Where did you learn all this? [Tentatively tries to turn a page, glancing to Japan for permission.]

[what is this affection he doesn't understand it at all... but he just makes a face and glances down at his sketches. he'll let marco turn the page, but if he keeps turning he'll run into the suggestive stuff...

but Japan figures Marco seems like the type to enjoy that sort of thing so NO SHAME...]

Ah, do you think so? ...I have always enjoyed drawing, for as long as I can remember.

[Um, yes. Sadly that's right, Marco does enjoy that kind of thing. He's a pervert. What do.]

Wow, you could probably teach it really easily, eh. Unless you want to be a SeeD I guess. [Turns. Raises eyebrows, keeps looking, SO AMUSED.]

Teach? ...Perhaps. I have not thought about that.

[Gonna turn past some friend porn to stop on a page that looks like an actual doujin. He drew a festival themed doujin of Marco and Grell yes. Passing that over.]

[Freezes up at the word "Teach" thinking of Blackbeard for a bit and then sighs.] Right, instruct. [Ruffles Japan's head and goes back to that page.]

Is that me and Grell?

[That hair ruffle gets this WHAT ARE YOU DOING AHHH expression, but he gets distracted by the question.]

...Ah, yes. Even if the festival is in Japan, I thought it would be nice...

It is! Is there a way to copy this?

Hah, it's nice...

You're way more creative than I expected, eh?

I could create an official copy if you'd like.

[a pause, and he glances over with his completely straight business face]

...Did I seem to lack creativity? I can assure you that Japanese culture is full of creative things like this.

I'd love that thanks!

Eh, I believe you, you just seemed more... quiet. Serious and such.

...Is this not serious?

Ah, but very well then. This time will be free, but next time I will charge. [he's only blunt at times like this...]

Art isn't generally considered that serious I believe.

Ah?? Oh... all right. Thanks for the freebie. What do you charge? [Wait... the picture is of him though ;; Cheater.]

I see... Ah, but I am quite serious about my art. Perhaps that could count. It is just a hobby, though...

[Ahem anyway. Yep the worst.]

It depends by case. Perhaps at cheapest the average could be 400 to 900 yen... Though I would say the length of it could increase the price range to 800 to 1200 yen. Ah, and sometimes, the characters and the plot and pages, and perhaps better quality overall would go for 1000 to 2000 yen...!

[pause.]

I would have to convert that. Ah, but it is fine for now. Commissions can always be dealt with and bargained...

I don't know how many yen are in a berri... or gil.

You see pretty serious for just a hobby. [Actually amused despite the deadpan tone.]

...I'm not quite sure either. Ah, I can guess later.

[nodding nodding-- oh]

Well, I wish to do the best that I can, of course.

Ahhh, of course, I see.

So what kind of drawings do you have? A little bit of everything?

I would say so. My drawing interests change every now and then... Ah, recently I have enjoyed drawing people around the Garden. ...The genre varies.

Most like these or just whatever catches your eye? [Points out another porn one. Just for reference.]

[There's a sideglance here and he shuts the book]

I enjoy this sort of art... [aka yes mostly that] But I will draw anything.
