*Kaoru is linefacing as usual, but she clears her throat, looks straight at the screen, and announces...*

I also intend to befriend the entire contact list.

That's all.

(What better way to ring in the new event? To Kaoru, selfish destructive impulses are counterproductive things like making friends, publicly enjoying things, and being nice to everyone. So... yeah.)

[video] 2/2

[socializing]

Are you free for the rest of the day today?

[video]

[breatheinthefog]

Probably. Why?

[video]

[socializing]

We're going to get coffee.

[video]

[breatheinthefog]

Why are you ordering me?

[video]

[socializing]

Oh. Then would you like to get some coffee?

[video]

[breatheinthefog]

I might as well. If it's not an order.

[video]

[socializing]

Not an order. [ Nod. ] I'm happy to hear that. Meet me here?

[ Souji'll text her an address to a coffee shop... ]

[video]

[breatheinthefog]

Fine.

*B|*

[video] -> [action] okay?

[socializing]

Great. I'll see you there soon.

[ And with that Souji makes his way to the decided location of a trendy coffee shop not too far from the Hotel. ]

*Kaoru shows up, linefacing as always. She looks over and nods.*

[socializing]

[ Souji waves, then opens the door for Kaoru. ]

Please. After you.

[ The coffee shop is certainly trendy but it has a quaint and cozy atmosphere. The two were here during off-peak hours so it was just the two of them. ]

Do you like sweet things, bitter things or creamy things?

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

*She shrugs and stares at the food.* I don't care.

[action]

[socializing]

Ah...

[ He's about to say something, but if she doesn't want to take an order from anyone... ]

Could you find a place to sit for us? Today is my treat.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

Whatever. *Kaoru sits down and starts to examine the sugar packets to determine their purpose.*

[action]

[socializing]

[ Man what to get this girl? Souji peers over the menu and the food in the glass display case. Moments later he interrupts Kaoru's intellectual journey with the contents of the table and its sugar packets bit setting down two mugs of coffee and a chocolate chip muffin. ]

Here.

[ May as well start with the basics... ]

Please, have a small sip... It's very hot.
