[Holy shit there's been texting all this time and NO ONE HAS USED LOL AROUND HIM?]

oh! it's shorthand for 'laugh out loud'. that made me laugh sooooo

how do u know tho?? they could have a money system that we don't even know about. fish are fishy creatures.

Edited (doin it for the pun) 2015-08-22 19:13 (UTC)

[ PROBABLY NOT. Or if they did, it was someone strange enough to Allen that he didn't care enough to ask ]

Oh! I didn't know that! [ But yay for laughter! ]

Ha, that's a good point. Maybe if I get another fish, I'll name him after the Sheriff of Nottingham to see what happens-

Er, does the Sheriff have a name?

Edited 2015-08-22 19:17 (UTC)

uhhhhhhh

u know

that's actually a good quesiton. i don't think he ever had one??? i've always just heard 'sheriff'.

[He's seriously racking his brain here, but wow. He doesn't think he's ever heard a name for the guy. Just "Sheriff of Nottingham".]

Yeah...I can't remember a name either. Too bad there aren't any Robin Hood books here...

[Damn. And Sheriff's a pretty lame name to give a fish too]

It's okay it'll probably be awhile before we're somewhere I can get another fish anyway. I'm sure I can think of a greedy rich name by then.

maybe you can call him prince john? john's a kinda weird name for a fish tho. long john silver? ... naaah.

oh well. i expect a good greedy name when u get another fish!

No, I'd rather not crown anyone royalty. They'd just become a pain in the arse. [ Like his ex! ]

Then I'll make sure it's something good! I know I got plenty of time to think.

yeah that's true. royalt'ys always kind of a pain.

[They have huge massive events for weddings and babies when he's pretty sure that money could go towards something way more useful.]

u gotta tell me when you think of a good one! i wanna hear it and judge it for myself.

You've dealt with royalty before?

[That's a little surprising. he thought Americans weren't into that stuff]

I will, promise!

Also...I should probably give you a little warning. You see, I told Ino about our date? And she...went and told Crowley.

not personally, it's just shoved at us everywhere if something big happens. like spending millions of dollars on a wedding. not that i know how that stuff works but don't you think that money could've gone towards something better?

[Like, you know. Bettering the environment, taking care of their populace?]

ino nooooooooo

whos crowley is that bad

Oh yeah. I've never understood that either. Not all royals are bad, but a lot of them are spoiled prats, if you ask me.

[This isn't projection in the slightest]

Ah...well, it depends? We're not exactly related, but I guess you could say Crowley's my uncle? In a way.

Anyway, in his own way, Crowley tries to look after Ino and I. But it's not always easy to predict how he'll do that. I mean, sometimes he's perfectly fine when we go out with someone and doesn't do anything. And sometimes he gets concerned and wants to have a chat with someone. And sometimes he...kidnaps them and reenacts scenes from Tarantino films.

[Y e a h]

[You know he is gonna bypass that royals thing because what, what. Excuse him while he processes that and imagines himself tied up in a chair with a single light bulb swinging overhead.]

ah. [WELL WHAT DOES HE SAY GIVE HIM A MOMENT]

[you know, that's exactly the mental image you should be having Clay because that's exactly what happened]

He'd wouldn't actually truly harm someone! He knows that it was just one casual date! And he's more likely to do that last one to someone dating Ino! Really!

[WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE SINGLE LIGHTBULB.]

ok ok i get you!! but uh

i guess that means if i go missing youll know where to look first

[Clay is completely harmless and he's sure Allen gets that but, you know. If they do plan on a second date or anything... Well then!]

[BECAUSE ITS A CLASSIC TROPE IT MUST BE HONORED]

Ah- of course! I'd immediately check with him first!

Though um...I'd understand if this freaks you out enough to not want a second date. It's rather insane, I know that.

what? no way

I MEAN

no way i'm not freaked out enough! not the. you know.

i mean

i am absolutely 100% okay with a second date.

if you want one?

[YEAH. THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION THERE NICE SAVE.]

[He can't help it, he takes a moment to smile at his screen at Clay's response. "absolutely 100% okay with a second date". Not just he was fine with it, or not scared off. He actually...really wanted to go on another date with him- even with the insane uncle. He wasn't scared off.]

[After a moment he types]

If you're not freaked out- then yes! I do! I mean-

I am absolutely 100% sure I want a second date.

[And... Clay takes a moment to grin down at the text too, even laugh a little to himself. A second date! Casual or not, it's still fun, and Allen's a really great guy. So why not keep it up for as long as they're both still up for it? Sure, his family was... weird, but he could handle it. The fact that he even warned him and wanted a second date was... Heh.]

i'm definitely not freaked out so - awesome! me too! (ﾟヮﾟ)

so when do u want the next one to happen? there's no beach to go to anymore, and i kno you don't like racing

[Which is a shame, yes, but he was paying attention to more than just all the shots being fired on Toph's post.]

[Yes. The fact that he's willing to warn Clay about a federal crime that could possibly happen to Clay because of his interactions with him must be a sign that he likes him. It must be.]

Oh, that one actually looks like a face. [ Yes. He got distracted by the emoji. What? It's cute. ] But great! Thank you.

[Er...was he supposed to thank someone for agreeing to go out with him? Or was that considered weird? Ergh- no taking it back now]

[And that's a good question. Allen also pauses in surprise at Clay mentioning that. He only really remembered saying that to Toph- was he listening to that conversation? Did Toph tell him- nah. Toph didn't seem like the type to gossip about that stuff. But the fact that Clay remembered a detail...]

[Nng. It's sweet and embarrassing at the same time. And embarrassing enough that his pride has to try to clarify it to save some face.]

It's not that I don't like it- I like the idea of it! [And he loves the idea of Blue Fish winning everything] I just don't do so well with high speed flying. And Toph's a pretty...well, gentle isn't in her nature.

ヽ(´▽`)/

[And he's got plenty more where that came from. But oh, that just makes him laugh. He's totally picturing what Allen looks like over there, trying to save some face and all.]

lol sorry! shoulda clarified. i know u don't like -being in- races. its ok! i know plenty of people who don't like too much motion like that. -especially- if toph's the one flying.

[He can just imagine being in the same ship as her. Clay's pretty hardened to stuff like that, considering the training he went through, but he's sure even he would get motion sick with her as a driver.]

but hey, since u like the idea of it, how about we go watch some races going on? we can make a picnic out of it!

[That's what Ino was hinting at, right? When the first thing she asked Clay was that if he liked and cooked food?]

Edited 2015-08-27 21:19 (UTC)

[Is that a...bird? Or something? It definitely was cute, but...well, whatever]

[And that clarification helps. His pride can accept it]

Yes, that's it. But you make it sound like Toph's flying is notorious. [Then again maybe it is] I hope you know that even though I asked you out, I'm still going to root for her when you two race.

[ Blue Fish for lyfe. And at the suggestion, he smiles happily. Food and company? Perfect.]

That sounds perfect! :) I think I know a waystation that has a good view too. Anything you'd like me to bring?

ruuuude. whatever man, that just means you'll be rooting for the loser! >:D

[He gets it, though. The Vanquish crew gets his support in the races no matter who they're racing up against.]

hmm. maybe something from that fancy kitchen of yours - we still don't have the final upgrade. i wanna know what the ~finest~ cuisine is like. anything i should bring along?

Talk all you like, Terran. She's still going to kick your fine arse.

[Is he flirting, teasing or trying to throw Clay off his game for the race? ITS HARD TO SAY ]

Oh? You taunt my pilot, and now you want to eat out of my great kitchen? Now whose the rude one? [ He's teasing though ] Yeah, I can bring something from our kitchen. Any preferences I should know about? It won't be my cooking, the second date is much too soon to make you endure that.

And the answer to that question is food of course! ヽ(´▽`)/

Edited 2015-08-28 13:10 (UTC)

[Clay's eyebrows raise at that, and then he ends up chuckling to himself. Yeah, he can't tell either, but two can play at this game.]

no way, you'll be seeing my fine arse at the finish line after i win!

i like pretty much any combination of rice you can think of. it's the best kind of food in the universe! add soy, spices, veggies wahtever! or, u know, something close to it. fruit 2! i love fruits :D

[And meanwhile here's Allen saying "food". Clay ends up staring for a moment and. Well. He's definitely gonna text a certain other person to get more help on this.]

food! ok! i will bring food! ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜) so when u wanna do this?

[And that makes him laugh, imagining Clay say that. Sure, he was hoping it'd fluster him a bit more- but it's still cute. He takes a moment to figure out how to respond.]

Now that's forward of you! We've only had one date! And you're still going to lose.

Rice? ...Okay, I can do something like that! What kind of fruits?

[Look he's seriously not picky okay. As long as there's no meat, he's happy]

Great! :) And ah...I'm not sure! Maybe in a few days so we have time to make food?

[Say it to his face and he'll totally get flustered, Allen. It's easier to deal with these things over texting!]

one -astronomical- date, and you're the one who started it!! still gonna win it sry not sry

papaya's probabay too much to ask for soooo... apples, grapes, bananas, whatever's available! i like lots of them so don't worry over it c:

[SEE LOOK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT IF HE BRINGS MEAT??]

that should give us plenty of time! i'll give u the best meal ever, youll see! ☆☆☆
