absolutely open to anyone!

[flatteries]

Er-- if you would all excuse me, I am looking for a certain lovely person.

[ And Inigo doesn't know what filtered thinking is. Or trying to think towards one person in general. He's new to all this telepathic stuff, okay.. and sort of an idiot, hence why everyone can just plainly hear this if they don't choose to ignore the voice. ]

I've been having terrible difficulties finding them by myself, so I figured this might be the right approach for the matter. This is about the beautiful Mitsuhide who I was told of! And according to the information I have received, the two of us could start a "beautiful relationship".. if you know what I mean. [ Inigo, that's gay. ]

So it would not do to let you go without my company for much longer! If anyone knows of their current whereabouts, or if you're hearing it yourself, fair Mitsuhide, please let me know!

[ Sounds like someone skipped over a gender detail or two while explaining this to Inigo, huh.. ]

[POOR INIGO i feel so bad now that he has to deal with a shit like shiki.....]

Maybe some people, [read: most people] but not everyone.

[flatteries]

[ it's terrible for inigo to have to deal with anyone tbh locks him in a wooden crate... ]

...

Why would anyone not like to be-- [ SHAKING HIS HEAD OKAY. He knows he has to calm down here a little and sound a little less desperate before he's ruining his first impression.. (Spoilers: he already has, huh.) ] Forgive me, it merely seems a little.. odd to me.

[cutting]

[tw: inigo dealing with other people]

Different strokes for different people, yeah? Not everyone's the same. [Even if she's aware that she's more different than most... But yeah sorry Inigo, your first impression was ruined the moment you opened your mouth.]

[flatteries]

[ tw: going outside tbqh ]

Yes, but I did assume there are some matters that are shared by most people.. [ Like, you know, being an actually normal person when it comes to compliments?? He's pretty sure that's universal, okay. ]

Or are you that different from most people?

[ #notallshikis ]

[cutting]

[if you want a normal shiki go find tohno!! (except he just fakes being normal)]

Yeah, pretty much.

[flatteries]

[ this chair..... ]

Well.. do not fear, milady! I shall find a way to win over even your heart, you can count on it! [ Even though he'll fail miserably. And cry himself to sleep. Probably. ] The great Inigo surely won't let any maiden's heart go unloved!

[cutting]

[it was an eyesore and that was totally enough justification for him.]

Then I'm gonna tell you right now to give up while you're ahead and save yourself some embarrassment. [for real THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA INIGO.]

[flatteries]

[ GIVING UP WHILE HE'S AHEAD, WHAT A CONCEPT... as if he'd ever make a fool out of himself or embarrass himself in general, that never happens!! How silly, Shiki..!

Walks straight into the jaws of embarrassment.. ]

Do you truly this this is a task even the great Inigo can't tackle? [ Because he sure seems oddly confident.. for a moment, anyway.. ]

[cutting]

Yep.

[No doubts. No hesitation. There is only one answer here and that answer unfortunately ends in Inigo's failure. (but lbr here no one should want to woo shiki unless you're mikiya "i'm normal but i'd stalk a girl's house for months" kokutou SAVE YOURSELF SOME TROUBLE INIGO.)]

But what even makes you so great anyways?

[flatteries]

Why, milady, would you not have to give me a try to discover that?

[ Inigo is walking down a dangerous path indeed.. especially since he's not a druggie like Mikiya who's perfect to win over Shiki's heart!! ]

[cutting]

[but the drugs were for the sake of ~*investigating*~ that totally makes it okay right!! (except no.)]

This your way of trying to ask me out on a date? [She actually has to laugh at that, although it sounds like half a scoff, since oh my god... That would be such a disaster such a fucking disaster who wouldn't laugh at a trainwreck like Shiki going on a date??]

[flatteries]

[ . . . . . .

Why does this feel like a trick question.

(Has Inigo ever not fallen for a trick question, though?) ]

Well, if it would make you happy.. then it would be an honor for me.

[cutting]

[If it looks like her lips are quirking weirdly, it's because she's trying to hold back "Enjou said he love me what a nut"-style laughter. She even pretends to cough so as to try and get out some of the laughter at least, this is TOO MUCH. After finally managing to collect herself though...]

Doubt it'd make me happy, but alright. [Honestly she'd never consider doing something like this normally, but 1) this is absolutely hilarious, and 2) she is beyond bored here there isn't even shit she can kill to pass time. This'll have to be the next best thing.] It's a date.

[flatteries]

[ Wait.

What.

Did she just say-- what?! ]

You want to-- [ OKAY, INIGO, ACT COOL.. PLAY THIS OFF COOLLY.. YOU CAN DO IT....

He has to take a deep mental breath over here, try to clear his mind to send the right thoughts through to her.. ]

Well, it would have to be next time we are in Liminal Space, considering I am already trying to contact the lovely Mitsuhide now.. but if you would not be opposed to it, then I certainly wouldn't mind waiting until then for you, milady.

[cutting]

So I'm on standby, huh? [the nicer thing to do would probably tell him that mitsuhide is a guy's name, but she's not THAT nice. or nice at all, but.] But alright, alright. S'not like I got anything else to do here anyways.

[flatteries]

[ You sure are casual about dates, Shiki.. especially since Inigo's heart is racing at approximately the speed of a race car over here, but okay. ]

Do not feel troubled, milady! [ Guess who's feeling more troubled than anyone else here. ] I can assure you that you shall get your well-deserved piece of Inigo very, very soon.

[ Even if.. no assurance was needed.. but hey. Inigo's king of delivering things no one probably wanted to begin with. ]

[cutting]

[if only she knew what a mess she was causing... except even then she probably wouldn't feel any remorse about it.]

Uh-huh, sure. [ALREADY SUPER DOUBTFUL OF HIM] Guess I'll see you then.
