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. :)]

[Don't worry, Riku. Your best friend Sora's here to help.]

Why don't you take her for a boat ride? Those can be romantic.

[stilldontgotit]

A boat ride, huh? I guess I could give it a shot...

[Though that does raise one question...]

Can't say I've got any boats, though. Think the raft would work?

[ex_tessen852]

Something from the heart is always the best bet. Maybe even something you make yourself.

What does she like?

voice;

[stilldontgotit]

Well, she's real big on flowers, but I give her those all the time, and I don't want to stick to just more of the same.

But we spend so much time together that it's tricky breaking new ground. I've thought of a few things like... maybe showing her a simulation of my home in the battle dome at sunset. I just wonder if that'll be enough.

voice;

[ex_tessen852]

Why not make a flower? Maybe as a charm for a necklace? Then she would be able to wear it all the time, and it won't die. [Suki likes flowers too, but they don't live forever. A charm for a necklace does, though.]

And I think that sounds really nice.

[herotypical]

...First anniversary? That's generally paper.

Or, more modernly, clocks. A classy timepiece.

[floralogy]

Yeah, sure. [Sheepish.] You know you can always talk to me.

voice;

[stilldontgotit]

You know, that's not a bad idea. Hasn't been the first time I've carved something, either, so wood's always an option.

[Or he could make it out of shells, maybe. But that was more of Kairi's thing... heh.]

Think I've got enough time to whip something together. Thanks for the tip.

[stilldontgotit]

Paper and clocks? You mean that all metaphorically, right?

[Because he's trying to piece together what clocks and paper even have to do with anniversaries.]

[stilldontgotit]

Oh, I know. Just wasn't sure if you were busy, that's all.

[Heh, heh. He'll be proceeding to head over to her room, though.]

[herotypical]

No no no. It's totally a thing. First year? Paper. Second year's cotton. And so on so forth. Themed gifts, y'know?

filtered

[floralogy]

Well, I'm finished with some little training, so I'm free. I should be heading back right now.

[A bright smile.] Will you be in my room?

[originaljackass]

Offer a threesome. Those are always memorable. Wait, you and your girl are already doing it, right?

[inmateincharge]

I've got the perfect suggestion! Worked wonders for me when it came to my first anniversary. ...Though, now that I think about it, I don't know if you'd be able to get it here, so maybe it might not be an option. [He actually considers it fairly easily to get, but he likes keeping people in suspense.]

[fabrecation]

[... Aww. No matter what depressing mood Luke is in, this does manage to lift his spirits and get him to smile. This would've been incredibly awkward a couple of years ago, but now there's no hesitation as Luke tries to offer his help.]

Well, is there anything you both like to do together?

[Voice]

[niceguypose]

You must sculpt her likeness!

[voice]

[all7seas]

What about a cannon, lad?

[stilldontgotit]

So, what? Just plain paper?

[He'd understand if it was, like, origami, but paper seems kinda silly.]

filtered

[stilldontgotit]

Way ahead of you, Ino.

[That was the first place he went, eeyup.]

[stilldontgotit]

Even if we are, I'm pretty sure she's not into that.

voice, filtered from Ino

[stilldontgotit]

You gonna at least drop a hint?

[Vagueness isn't gonna get him anywhere, after all.]

[voice ; filtered from ino]

[stilldontgotit]

Well, we spend a ton of time together on a daily basis, but I know she really enjoys it when I take her out on dates. I just want to do more than that, since by now that's probably routine for her.

[Voice]

[stilldontgotit]

With what? Stone? Clay?

[Heh. Riku hasn't dabbled much in sculpting, but it's not a bad suggestion.]

[voice]

[stilldontgotit]

Where would we even put it? Cannons aren't exactly small.

voice, filtered from Ino

[inmateincharge]

Well, it's guaranteed to blow her away, as you so aptly put it! It's easy enough to make if you have the tools and the know-how, and it'll let her know exactly how you feel about her!
