003 ☠ video/action

[ Evening, Network. It's been awhile since you've seen this kid on the network, but here he is. The video starts with him trying to adjust the communicator on the coffee table in the living room of his residence, though it falls over and there's an obvious "aw devilshits" in the darkness.
Ok, try again.
Looks like we're being picked up again and we see two curious green eyes behind thick, rectangular glasses. He sets the communicator up on a hard surface again and then steps back, muttering something incoherent to himself before he steps back and adjusts himself a little.

This is Jake. This is Jake with his hair actually combed and his face free from dirt and bruises. He's a bit over dressed for the communicator, wearing this. Just where the hell did he get that anyway?

The teen shuffles back against the living room sofa, the area brightened up by a mere lamp. Then, he lounges, crossing one ankle over the other and we see he's still wearing his combat boots. What a nerd. ]


Greetings fellow residents. Uhmm.

[ Oh wait. He's pulling out a piece of paper now. It's obvious he's shaking by the way he's holding it and he reads off of it. ]

If I am not terribly mistaken, the holiday known as Valentine's Day is coming up within a duo weeks, and it would be my greatest honor to escort an individual on this day. It is absolutely peachy if you want this not to be anything too, uhm, forward on the romancing spectrum, but rather just one of comradery, especially if I am unacquainted with you.

[ A deep breath. He withdraws from his pocket a handkerchief and paps his face down a little. He lowers the paper and looks at the camera. ]

I've never celebrated Valentine's Day, so, uhhhhhh. I don't want to be alone for this holiday. And while friends and what have you are absolutely splendid, it is customary to have a specific date if I am understanding correctly. I guess.. that's it? I'm asking in advance so may chance we can get to know each other first, or plan accordingly on schedule. I'll make sure to take care of the dinner one way or another!

[ He'll be spearing fishes and preparing it that way, jsyk. ]

Uhhh, shoo. Well, thanks.

[ /end personal advertisement. He'll reach way over and click the communicator off. ]

[ Action available for room mates! ]

Because it's obvious. Would you rather I lie and get your hopes up for something that isn't going to happen?

[If only she knew about Jane and Dirk's feelings, that might give her second thoughts. As it stands, she has no remorse.]

If anything, I'm doing you a favor by being honest with you.

[How is this guy even real? Asuka raises her eyebrows, and after a moment of thought settles on saying:]

You really are an idiot, aren't you?

Well, whatever. You're welcome if you're that grateful. And good luck - you're going to need it.

What? You have?

[She sounds too surprised to be kind in it, but then, she hasn't been so far.]

What was I supposed to think? After all that trouble you went to, anyone would think you had no luck with that kind of thing.

You're the one who gave the appearance. Take some responsibility for your own part in it.

But how did it happen? You having a--significant other?

Hmph.

[Asuka shrugs.]

Suit yourself. For all I know they had bad taste, anyway.

[Something flickers across her face: for a second, she looks almost annoyed at being asked. Then, with a toss of her hair, it's gone.]

Not anyone in my league. This is what I meant about having natural charm: I got my locker stuffed with love letters regularly, but none of them were worth my time.

[She's actually not lying about that.]

Jake you troll gsfsdjlk

[personal profile] antabaka 2013-02-04 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Wha--?!

How dare you! How can you say that?! You rude, mannerless jerk! You're shameless! You're awful! Whoever dated you must have done it out of pity, because there's no way a scumbag like you would get a girlfriend the regular way in a thousand years!

[Click!]

Honesty? Yeah right! At least I don't have to resort to begging strangers for dates. Don't get so high and mighty just because someone dated you once! I could have had more dates than I could tell you about, but I actually have the luxury of deciding whether they were worth my time or not. Like I said, they weren't!

And what part of what I said gave you the impression I wanted you to message me anything?

Advice? Don't lie, you're just going out of your way to be a jerk to me! Admit it!

That has to be the fakest story I've ever heard. Volcanoes don't even work that way. Not by half!

And what, you expect me to just lower my standards for whoever comes my way? You don't get it. I have plenty of luck, I'm just waiting for someone I wouldn't hate myself to date. I want someone with charm and humor, someone mature, someone worth my time! If you're seriously going to tell me that's wrong, then you aren't even worth the effort it takes to hit a single one of these keys.

You say that like patience isn't a good quality to have anyway. So if I find someone patient, all the better!

My temper? You're the one who made me angry, so don't tell me the person I date would need it for that! What did you expect? For me to just smile, take the insult, and thank you? You really are an idiot.

Don't even flatter yourself. If you showed up at my door to invite me out, I'd slam the door in your face!

Don't even try that argument on me! What I said about you had basis, but you're just throwing empty words at me to be cruel. How heartless!

What are you even talking about? Are you telling me you're that stupid that you wouldn't leave even after I rejected you like that?
