[closed] what is love?
Who: Raven (fishyoldman) and Jibril (bookdrooling)
When: During Event 030
Where: ViViD
What: Raven and Jibril go on an Educational Date (TM) in ViViD. How romantic...?
Rating/Warning: Rated P for perverted old men.
[Raven's not sure how this happened. What started as curiosity about all things weapon and blastia-related on Jibril's end, and flirting for fun on his end, lead to Jibril revealing she's incapable of feeling love. That just seemed sad to Raven, not so much because he cared whether she refused his cheesy come-ons, so much as because he felt bad for her own sake. So, he offered to teach her.
Too bad his track record is absolutely terrible when it comes to these things. Sure, women are all over him back home, but love love? Beyond a superficial level, with all the touchy-feely sentimental stuff included? He's terrible at it. Maybe not as terrible as a 6,000something-year-old angelic weapon of destruction, but still. To say he doesn't even know where to start would be an understatement.
For now he's happy to just wing it and see what happens. So he's waiting for her at their agreed meeting point outside ViViD, with his damaged little spirit dove in tow crooning feebly, and his newly-renovated bow in hand. The Divine Cannon looks good as new, if not better than before.]
Hey, little guy. Can ya try ta sound a little perkier? You and me are gonna see a cute girl real soon.
[Raven crouches down to ground level talk to his spirit companion, but it doesn't respond or seem to hear him at all. To Jibril, it'll probably just look like he's giving himself a pep talk. Weirdo.]

Still, with a loud WHOOSH of displaced air, Jibril and her own lame dove instantly appeared in front of the center, as it was only a quick teleport away from her own room.]
Good afternoon. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long?
no subject
J-Jibril, honey! This old man's heart can't take those kinda surprises!
no subject
[His heart seemed able to handle that much, at least. Was that some kind of human expression?]
Ah, well, I won't make any promises. If I can get to somewhere easily I will. Perhaps you should brace yourself better?
no subject
[He gets back to his feet, still a little thrown off. Still! He holds up his bow.]
Anyway, look what I got fixed up, just like ya wanted.
no subject
[She more wants to see what it can do versus actually looking at it so she gestures for Raven to follow after her. Mostly so they can both go inside and she can set up a pre-programmed game. One more focused on using bow....blades. Or how Jibril imagined they would be used. Behind her, her dove kind of limped after her. Probably the same Raven's was doing.]
We'll have to put it to the test before we can make any definitive statements about it, however.
no subject
[Raven follows her inside. Privately, he's a little apprehensive to return to ViViD after his earlier experiences, but also interested to see what Jibril could do with it. While he can't see her dove, his is certainly still following after.]
Say, before we get started, you don't mind if I have a friend tag along on our date, do ya? Dunno if you can see it, but the little guy's pretty insistent on coming.
no subject
[Hmmm....oh right. Jibril kind of had one too.]
Certainly, as long as you don't mind one of mine. It doesn't seem to want to leave my side.
no subject
Alright, let's go. What kinda game d'you have in mind?
no subject
To make things more interesting, I've decided to limit my own abilities by taking a new combat experience path. If you'd like to limit your own to keep things from being too easy in the beginning, let me know and I can program that.
[Namely, with herself limited, they could keep from sweeping the game from the beginning.]
no subject
[Even though that's not how it works at all...]
Alright, then limit mine too. Can't have old Raven wiping the floor with everything and getting all the credit.
no subject
[Thankfully they were starting from level one.
Still, after a few key presses at a terminal, they were ready.]
Let me know when you're fully prepared and I'll start it!
no subject
To her question, he nods.]
Ready when you are, sweetness.
no subject
[A couple more button presses and with a flash, they were sitting in a futuristic city environment. With a lot of demons around them.
Kind of like that whole Devil May Cry thing.]
I'm counting on you to keep me safe!
[She wasn't but she may as well add on the pressure.]
no subject
I'd never let ya down! Even if you get hurt, I'll fix ya right up with an arrow filled with love!
[He raises his bow, looking around.]
So do we have to get 'em all, or just fight our way through?
no subject
If you want more experience, you kill them all. If you want to beat the game faster, you just take out the ones you need to.
no subject
Well, let's take things nice and slow and see what happens. I like spontaneous dates better!
[And combat-wise he's a little more cautious than usual after his last fight. In which he nearly got an arm torn off and quickly died from poison. So there's... that...
He lets the arrow fly, hoping by just striking one demon, it will attract only the attention of a handful of them rather than the entire group.]
no subject
The lack of blood, though, means it's rated a mere PG-13, mostly because Jibril didn't want to get TOO excited about killing. When you're a murder machine, it pays to have restraint.
Raven's strategy is a good one, at least, luring over three rather than a much more threatening group.]
Oh! Are you a veteran of this type of thing?
[Either that or it was an accident. Still easy enough for Jibril to ready her sword.]
no subject
Stand back a sec.
[He does have a plan in mind, even handicapped to having only his basic artes at his disposal. Between them and the monsters, he lays out a row of three glowing red circles on the ground. They're magical landmines that will detonate on impact -- they're not strong enough to kill the demons outright, but enough to stagger their advance so Jibril can land a few easy hits.]
