So... suppose you've been dating someone for, say, about a year. Your first anniversary's coming up, and you really want to blow them away.

[Heh, heh. It's something that's been on his mind for several days now. A whole year is a big deal for someone whose last romantic affairs ended in utter despair. Or heartbreak, at the very least.]

I've got a few ideas, but... well, I don't want to give her anything short of the best. I want it to be something she'll remember.

So, yeah, if anyone's got suggestions, I'm all ears.

[Whew. There. That wasn't so bad, right?]

Public;

And by the way, for any New Feathers out there... No, you're not dreaming. No, the Malnosso aren't the ones who brought you here. Yes, there are people with magic, talking ponies, dragons, and turtles, and the barrier's unbreakable.

Filtered to Ino;

...Also, can I talk to you for a second? There's something I want to show you.

[ooc: some replies may be slow while I double check a few things! if it looks like I've skipped your tag, don't worry; I'll get to 'em ASAP. :)]

Make sure to ask Keiichi Maebara. If there's anyone in this village who has things for those occasions that a girl will remember for sure, it's him. Over-the-top dramatics are his speciality.

[ only ange can say something that sounds like a compliment and an insult at the same time.. ]

Hah. You speaking from personal experience here?

[entreats]

Definitely. And as the recipient I can say you might want to tone it down just a little bit if it's not entirely her kind of thing, but he could give you an idea or two, I bet.

[stilldontgotit]

Right. I don't want to smother her, either. Right now I'm just trying to brainstorm...

Besides, if I do too much now, how am I supposed to surprise her next time around?

[entreats]

.. You're trying to build it up? Then you might as well watch out that in the end it won't end up completely ridiculous after all. There's only so far you can go with this stuff before it's just laughable.

[stilldontgotit]

True... Try too many things at once and it becomes way too easy to screw up.

You think it's better to just go with my gut instinct instead of worrying so much? Some of the ideas I've gotten are great and all, but at the same time, I want it to feel personal. Like something I wanted to do in the first place.

[entreats]

Well, if you want to do something person, then why not just do that? You should've done that to begin with, honestly, since all you'll get like this is other people's ideas about what's romantic or what isn't. It's usually a pretty personal thing.

[stilldontgotit]

Yeah. I think that's what I'm gonna do after all; sometimes it just helps to brainstorm ideas.

That, and I've gotten a bit of reassurance as an added bonus.

[entreats]

And she likes you, right? .. So in that case, I don't think you can really do anything wrong. Unless you'd be a complete idiot.

[stilldontgotit]

Nah. I tend to steer clear of doing anything too dumb. Wouldn't want to give a bad impression.

[entreats]

Exactly. I can't think of many girls who'd date a complete idiot.

[stilldontgotit]

Maybe if that idiot had a lovable personality to balance things out. Hard to say, really.

[entreats]

.. Lovable idiots, huh.. [ Yeah, that sums Keiichi up perfectly. She can't exactly refute that one. ]

I guess some girls might have a thing for those. So they're not out of luck.
