Who: Cyril and OPEN
Broadcast: Networkwide - Video
Action: Wonderduck
When: Afternoon


One of the strange things about being in a new reality, I've come to realize, comes down to grasping social norms. They aren't the exact same here as they were on Thedas, and each one of us brings our own world with us when we interact with one another. My 'I think you're gorgeous and funny and would love to get you know better' might be read as your 'I'm only thinking about your body.'

It's hard enough navigating the subtlety there without adding to the mix different a world's views on sex and relationships.

That means research and asking questions. Or at least it does if you're me, I suppose.

I explain all of that simply so you understand how it is that recently I discovered a concept called 'pick up lines.' From what I've learned, they are terrible and awkward. Of course this means that I adore them.

Hit me with your best shot, friends. Give me your favorite pick up lines. I need to hear them all.

A classic from Earth

_{[ He coughed, as if preparing to deliver a moving speech. ]}

Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?

[samahl]

[He chuckles softly.]

Ah, Earthians. Does that imply the person is a god or one of those angel things.

[universal_charm]

It's an implication that they're beautiful since angels are usually depicted as beautiful beings - the epitome of what beauty should be.

[samahl]

Well, you are certainly the epitome human male beauty.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He laughed. ]}

Sweet of you to say, especially when you haven't seen all of me yet.

But it's nothing compared to you. I mean, you walked straight out of my dreams and made them come true.

_{[ Look, this is a cheesy pick up line conversation, he is going to keep bringing them out like a champ. ]}

[samahl]

[He laughs again.]

Oh, you are very good at this.

And I'd love to see the rest of you and have you prove me wrong.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Cyril earned a wink for that. ]}

Oh, that could be dangerous. The two of us, together? I don't think anyone is ready for that.

[samahl]

Too worried you'll faint at the mere sight of me?

[fantachetic]

What could you possibly need pick up lines for? You do well enough on your own, I imagine.

[ Either way, he's amused. ]

[veilstrike]

[ Considering, then - well. She can't help herself. ]

"You had sealed it with a gesture and right then, I felt the whole world change."

[universal_charm]

A little. Human eyes weren't meant to behold such perfection, after all.

[oh no, a post for him]

"Are your legs tired? 'Cuz you've been runnin' through my mind all day."

[samahl]

Are you asking why I would ask handsome men to hit on me, my friend?

[samahl]

... Oh now I don't know if it's all right to me laugh or not.

[samahl]

[He chuckles and then responds while it comes to him,]

Why put a field in your mind when it's easier to imagine beautiful people in bed?

[samahl]

I would hate to blind you with my excellence.

[universal_charm]

Absolutely worth it.

[At least Fenris can chuckle at this. Cyril what are you doing? ]

Oh, Maker, don't do that to yourself. Take the higher road.

[samahl]

Not in the mood for me to tell you, "I wanna live in your socks so I can be with you every step of the way."

[samahl]

One would hope so.

Otherwise what a terrible waste of beautiful eyes.

[veilstrike]

Please laugh. It was meant to be funny.

[samahl]

My instinct was to laugh, but then I laugh at a lot of things.

For example: "Girl, are those space pants? Because your butt is out of this world!"

[veilstrike]

[ Oh, her face creases ]

I hate it.

[samahl]

[He can't help but chuckle a bit, though it's with the exact same tone that someone would have after telling a bad pun.]

They're all very terrible, it's true.

[veilstrike]

I suppose it's one way to get attention. [ She sighs. ] Bull would love them.
