Promise; RL with Kyouko (backdated to before grabbag virus)

[callmeoniisan]

[With everything set up so Black Rock Shooter would have Dead Master bring Kyouko to his world for him, Kyousuke was then waiting outside his house, dressed just as casually as he had always been.]

[ Kyouko is even more a master of dressing casually - or rather, just with her usual hobo clothes. So the moment she's in his world she just casually saunters over to him in her usual shorts and hoodie, a stick of pocky still hanging out of the corner of her mouth as if going to have food during dinner with him in itself wouldn't even be enough.

She grins. ] Yo!

[callmeoniisan]

Hey! [Just a hand up, mostly as acknowledgement here]

[But hold up isn't pocky usually pretty expensive..........

Whatever.] You ready to go?

[selfished]

[ Sssh, she stole it.. but not like she's just going to tell him that, especially if he doesn't ask. Instead she just still seems eager, nodding. ]

Of course! My stomach is grumblin' so much, I could eat an entire horse right about now!

1/2

[callmeoniisan]

[he doesn't know why, but it's easy to be casual around her.] I'm just going to hope you weren't being literal just there.

[callmeoniisan]

But let's get going anyway. [starting to lead the way towards the shopping district over here meanwhile then \o\]

[selfished]

[ Totally sauntering after him..! She's making sure to look at the surroundings too, trying to figure out what kind of world or at least city he lives in, but it all looks pretty.. normal.. ]

Heh, and what if I was being serious? [ She puts her hands behind her head casually, elbows up in the air. ]

[callmeoniisan]

Then it's going to take a while to find a horse! [easily laughing here. It's like he's known her for a long time... Except not really.]

But seriously, I don't think I'll be able to afford that!

[selfished]

What, weren't ya gonna take me out to dinner? [ she laughs too. ] What a let down, taking me out and then saying you don't know if you can afford to keep up with my eating habits..!

Do you treat everyone you take out for dinner this way?

[callmeoniisan]

I'm just kidding. If you're going to eat an entire horse, let's do just that then. [heh, heh... you're a fairly rich kid after all.]

['fairly' being the keyword.]

[selfished]

... Really? [ she didn't expect that answer, so she just.. blinks.. ]

Ya wouldn't mind even if I really ate that much?

[callmeoniisan]

I'll honestly prefer if you didn't, but if I really did... Well.

We'll just see how it goes if that happens.

[selfished]

C'mon, don't be a party pooper! [ She runs up to where he is, grinning at him from the side. ]

Don't you want to have some sorta all-you-can-eat buffet too? Sounds great, doesn't it?

[callmeoniisan]

Yeah, actually... That's where we're going. [sheepish smile.]

[that way it doesn't really matter how much she eats, yes, but you know how certain restaurants might start getting pretty mad...]

[shut up, it came from one of Kirino's visual novels. It's normal to have a little sister or two to have an insatiable hunger...]

[selfished]

[ She's totally going to eat until they get kicked out, okay. Sorry to say, Kyousuke, but it's more or less inevitable.. at least she seems happy enough about all of this. ]

Really, we are?! [ In fact, in a way she for once actually seems like a kid with how excited she's getting, like some sort of puppy.. ] No way, I have never been to one of those before..!

[callmeoniisan]

Yeah. You can eat all you want there. [grinning~]

[selfished]

Ah, this is the best, the best..! You're not that bad of a guy, Kyousuke. [ grinning right back. ]

[callmeoniisan]

Yeah... --- Wait, I was a bad guy?

[selfished]

Everyone's a bad guy by default unless they prove otherwise. [ a shrug - it's just the way things work when you live on the streets, it just isn't worth trusting anyone until they prove they can be trusted. ]

[callmeoniisan]

Ah... Huh. I see. [ he does see where she's coming from with this thinking... and it's a little sad. ]

[selfished]

[ She's just walking on at first, but.. then she stops, glancing over her shoulder at him. ]

What? Is something wrong?

[callmeoniisan]

Nah, it's nothing. [still walking alongside, really.] Let's just keep going.

[selfished]

Okay then, let's just hurry..! At this rate the food will get cold before we even get there, heh!

[callmeoniisan]

I think the food would be kept warm either way, but okay.

[selfished]

[ Don't take everything so literally Kyousuke, that's no fun!! ]

So.. are we there yet? Or at least almost?

[callmeoniisan]

We're there, we're there! It's right in front of us now!

[selfished]

We're there--?

[ turning around now since she was walking backwards to talk to him for a moment and then she blinks at the building a few times before getting really excited. don't mind her grabbing your hand to forcefully drag you along, Kyousuke. ]

C'mon, c'mon, we're going inside!

[callmeoniisan]

Okay, okay! You don't have to drag me! [moving along..!]

-- Yeah, table for two, please.

[selfished]

[ Still totally excited, okay, even all the way to the table she's still dragging him before plopping down on one of the seats casually. ]

So this is what these places look like on the inside, huh..!

[callmeoniisan]

Yeah. [it's nice to see her so excited. Makes him feel all warm inside.]

You know, maybe we can do this again some other time. [because his wallet wouldn't be too unhealthy if it's buffets]

[selfished]

... Really? [ She seems fairly surprised by all this, nobody's ever offered to feed her that much.. ]

Well, I won't say no to that, of course! If ya are that sure you can keep up with me.

[callmeoniisan]

Yeah. [well... he's a nice guy.]

It shouldn't be a problem.

[selfished]

[ she's still a hobo!! nobody usually wants to feed the hobo.. ]

In that case I'll be keeping you to your promise! Even if you'll end up having to do the dishes to pay for the bills in the end. No mercy!

[callmeoniisan]

Yeah, if you're really going to eat a whole horse every time we do this, I'll probably have to wash plenty. [hmm... really, Kyousuke?] But hey, won't you help at all?

[selfished]

Nope. I'm just running out the moment that happens.

[ She grins - but it's still difficult to tell whether she's joking or serious. ]

[callmeoniisan]

That's cruel! [woah all the fake shockness here!!]

[selfished]

I never said I was a nice person, y'know.

[ she grins. ]

[callmeoniisan]

Keh!... [so serious!!... then a little weird grimace at himself, before just saying]

Ah well, you don't have to be the nice person. I can be the nice one.

[selfished]

[ Leaning on the table with her hands now (since Kyouko has no sense of dignity, even in public) and leaning a little towards him, still grinning. Did I mention she has no concept of personal space either. ]

And then what can I be?

[callmeoniisan]

Ehh. That's for you to decide. [treading on dangerous ground here...!]

[selfished]

No way, no way! I want to hear it from your mouth.

[callmeoniisan]

No way? But you get to decide what role you play, you know.

[selfished]

So ya can't even give your own opinion 'bout a girl?

[callmeoniisan]

Ehh. I think you're fine.

[selfished]

[ okay, okay, with that she drops herself back into her seat. ]

I can live with that.

[callmeoniisan]

[good thing she's accepting this]

[let's just assume they've been eating a bit and had a round so far...]

Ready for a second round?

[selfished]

Shouldn't I be asking you that? I dunno if ya can even keep up with me!

[ She's grinning, apparently not even full at all after one round. ]

[callmeoniisan]

Heh. [let's just go for another round then~

Sides, it's a buffet. You're supposed to go for plenty of rounds!]
