[Kuzuryuu still really doesn't want to do this. He's not crazy about the idea of dating or romance, nor is he particularly fond of childish activities like bowling. Though maybe that's just the fact that he has no idea how to play talking. But he told Mabel he'd give it a try, so here he is: lingering near the entrance and occasionally wiping flakes of gold glitter off of his pinstriped suit. God it just keeps flaking off...how can one little badge have so much loose glitter!? This is probably not the best attire for something like bowling, but suits are really all he owns. At least he replaced his animal skull tie with a more appropriate plain black one.]

[Vaguely, he wonders if maybe his date is already here and maybe he just missed them. Should he maybe move and start looking for them instead of waiting? Then again, he is a little early, and staying in one spot is usually the better option when you're looking for someone, right? Hm...]

[The main reason for Veronica signing up had been simply: Curiosity. She'd never dated anyone before and her knowledge of romance was still incomplete so it only made sense to try and add to it. Adding to her excitement over this date was the fact that she'd also never gone bowling either (and in her excitement she'd spent a whole day at the library looking up rules and history).

She arrives exactly on time, freshly showered and with her teeth brushed as per the Cerealia Times tips. The gold glitter, despite the fact that it flakes off and gets everywhere (though she couldn't find it in her to mind that at all because it made everything sparkle) makes it easy to find him, at least.]


Kuzuryuu? [She reads it from his badge before smiling at him.]

It is nice to meet you, I am Veronica.

[She'd chosen her own outfit based on comfort, wearing dark jeans, sensible shoes and a knit sweater with a hood against the cold, because the concept of people who could be impressed by clothes of all things was completely foreign to her (surely the person and the personality behind those clothes was much more important).]
impheired: but it looked like he might have a shank, and i'm just not at a place in my life where i could handle having tetanus (unsure ♚ i almost took a picture)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-07-17 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kuzuryuu starts a little as the sound of his name snaps him out of his internal debate. Oh good. He was worried for nothing. They hadn't missed each other and he'd picked just the right place to wait.]

Ah, yeah...that's me. [He inclines his head a little in a small, short bow.] Good to meet you, too.

[His eye roves over her for a moment. Despite how he's dressed, he doesn't actually seem bothered about what Veronica's wearing. After all, that's how a sensible person would dress for a date like this. However, that probably means she actually IS interested in bowling. Which means his chances of talking her into doing something else are fairly low. Damn. He was kind of hoping his partner would find Mabel's plan equally off putting.]

So uh...you have any idea how to play this game? I've never done it before.
protectthecastle: (happy | everything is cute okay)

[personal profile] protectthecastle 2015-07-18 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[People keep bowing to her, and she keeps...not bowing back. Instead, she smiles in reply. One of these days, she'd wrap her mind around the idea of bowing, but that would not be today.

She wasn't expecting him to be wearing a suit (since the tips had said casual dates meant casual clothes, right?) but she'd known someone who went to the shooting range in a suit. If he wanted to wear one, it wasn't her place to judge.]


I have never played, but I have read as much as I could about it. [She looks briefly towards the bowling alley before turning back to him and tilting her head.]

I can teach you, if you'd like.
impheired: for his car keys. but this time he made it to the valet garage. all the attendants gathered around and watched. (sigh ♚ as usual i had to fight him)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-07-19 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Won't that be the blind leading the blind? He can't help but think, only to brush that thought away upon remembering that it doesn't really matter. He has no intentions of ever playing this game again, after all, so it's not like he really needs to know how to play or even be good at it.]

Alright, sure. So what do we do first?
protectthecastle: (happy | likes baths and sweets)

[personal profile] protectthecastle 2015-07-20 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[The fact that he agreed and that she gets to teach someone makes her smile.]

First, we must change our shoes, pick a ball and then find a lane. Then we can try bowling.

[In (or about) that order. This can't go terribly, she's sure of it.]

Come. [She starts leading the way to where there are shoes for rent.]
impheired: mouse traps and brownies on my porch? (unsure ♚ just wondering. did you put)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-07-20 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
What's wrong with our shoes?

[He seems utterly perplexed by the idea, but follows her all the same. Though his worse fears are confirmed when they reach their destination. Wearing shoes that who knows who else has had their feet in? Ew. Still, he's already agreed to at least give this a shot, so he'll change his white slip-on dress shoes out for a pair of bowling shoes with only a very small grimace.]
protectthecastle: (thinking | you're up to something)

[personal profile] protectthecastle 2015-07-21 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
From what I have read, it is because our shoes are unclean and because the soles-

[She flips her own shoes after she finishes changing into her own bowling shoes, looking at the grooved underside that she'd never really paid much attention to until now.]

-are not made to help you bowl. There is always the possibility that you may be injured by your shoes sticking to the floor.

[She notices the grimace.]

Is something the matter?
impheired: you send me, I'm gonna send a wholesome family photo. (disgust ♚ for every drunk face picture)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-07-23 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
It just...seems a little unhygienic. That's all. I get what you're saying about why we have to, and it makes sense, it just...

[Who knows what other person (or weird alien) has had their feet in those shoes? And who knows how well they disinfect between usages. He shakes his head.]

It's fine though, no big deal. [He stares out over the lanes.] So, any preference?
protectthecastle: (thinking | that's not how it works)

[personal profile] protectthecastle 2015-07-24 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[He says that it's no big deal....and she wants to trust in him. But at the same time she's not sure why someone would say something and then dismiss it again, almost immediately.

She's quiet as she looks down over the lanes, and she's not sure what it is she should be preferring. They all mostly look the same.]


Not really. I have no preference. Do you? Shall we ask them if they have one that is cleaner than the rest? [Since hygiene seemed important to him. She's so glad she had a bath before coming here.]
impheired: is so unnecessary, i do it myself just fine. (blush ♚ trying to embarrass me)

sorry about the late

[personal profile] impheired 2015-07-30 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[For some reason, his cheeks turn a very faint pink at the suggestion that they ask for a cleaner pair of shoes. His expression turns slightly sheepish as he stares at spot on the floor somewhere behind Veronica.]

N-No, it's fine, like I said. We don't have to do something like that, I can deal with it.

[He can't help but regret opening his mouth in the first place. Why is he so bad at talking to people. Why.]

Here, c'mon, this one should be fine, right?

[Desperate to give her something else to focus on, he starts moving towards the closest available lane.]
protectthecastle: (happy | baths are great)

no worries!

[personal profile] protectthecastle 2015-07-30 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It looks fine to me.

[There was nothing on the floor behind her (she'd turned back to see what he was looking at) but her attention is successfully drawn away when he starts moving towards the empty lane. The shoes are slippery than she expects them to be so she's careful as she walks after him.]

And I would think it is better for you to be comfortable. I would like for you to enjoy yourself today, as well.

[She smiles at him before she starts looking over at the racks of balls. The book she'd read said that she should try to pick by weight so she hefts one with a lower number up, almost surprised by how heavy it is.]
