What moron's in charge of the machine that's bringing in the new people.  It's like they decided to say the hell with trying to win this war, we're just going to keep throwing bodies at it till something works.

Anyway.  Back to normal, blah blah.  I'd apologize for what an asshole I grow up to be, but I can't really remember too much of what he did [ He's lying. ], so there's not much point.  Just be glad I'm back to my regular charming self.

[Filtered from Collette (as useless of a gesture as that may be) ]

But uh.  There's a reason for this besides the not-apology.  I don't exactly have anyone specific I can ask, because.  Well, because.  So I figured I'd just kinda throw it out there.

So, uh.  How does dating work?

I mean, I'm not a total social reject, I know how it works normally, but for like a specific girl.  And okay, the last date I went on back home didn't go too hot anyway.

[ He's just going to disconnect before he digs himself any deeper.  SMOOTH, JASON, REALLY SMOOTH. ]

Well it's a strategy, even if it's a flarking stupid one.

[ IGNORING EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS POST YEP. BECAUSE SHE NEVER WAS A KID, AND LOVE SUCKS BUT EXPLAINING WHY IS BULLSHIT.

mature adult award goes to Gamora ]

[livinuptothename]

I think everybody can agree that there's no such thing as strategy here.

[ ALSO IGNORING THAT SHE IS IGNORING. ]

[ Oh man, this guy. Asking for dating advice. He knows exactly who you're talking about, Jason. ]

The machine mostly decides that all on its own, from what they've said, actually. [ But that's not important, moving on. ] And if the girl you're talking about is who I think it is, you should keep in mind what to bring her. Flowers aren't going to do you any good.

[voice]

[livinuptothename]

Guess it would depend on the girl. What did you have in mind?

[redheadcarrier]

What kind of idiot doesn't know anything about dating?

[Well, Asuka doesn't do too hot with it either, but it's an excuse to act superior.]

[ RUDE ]

Hey, long runs from mutated hell creatures didn't sound like my idea of a fun time. If you know a good place for a date in a post Apocalyptic wasteland, I'm all ears.

[There is one very helpful advice from this old man. It comes in the form of a wolf call, though, so hopefully Jason speaks wolf!]

[aceordisgraced]

Just kidding. I don't know. Why don't you try taking her out to dinner?

[hostage]

Which girl?

[ video; encrypted (SO SMOOTH) ]

[livinuptothename]

Collette.

[ Because this is obviously the biggest secret ever and no one must know. ]

[onemoredeath]

You could try to take her to the theater or to a club. I've heard women do enjoy that sort of thing along with dinner.

[livinuptothename]

Not sure either of us is even old enough to get in a club, but... Does this place even have a theater?

[bittertears]

Seems as though you remember more than enough.

[I mean, if you're calling yourself an asshole and all!]

[livinuptothename]

Only what he... I said on the network. So not too much.

[ Let him live in his denial Alice. ]

[sharpe]

You've got ta explain what 'dating' is fer people ta answer that question, lad.

[ Sharpe if you don't know what that means, it means you shut up and not try to answer. Gosh. ]

[livinuptothename]

Uh. Okay, dating is like hanging out with someone who you really like as more than a friend.

So it's kinda. Ya know, special.

[neveraskedforthis]

( cool with you if adam adam figures out through the filter who the girl is? )

[implying]

Would you like the long answer, or the short?

[livinuptothename]

What's the difference?

[kneecaptain]

We all grow up to be assholes. I'm pretty sure.

[livinuptothename]

Guess it's good to know I'm not the only one.

Permavid

[governorkang]

I'm... assuming 'dating' is similar to courting?

Permavid

[livinuptothename]

Yeah, more or less.

[pixieboots]

[ The voice is a little hard to place at first, but after listening for a few seconds he's at least 98% sure he's talked to this kid before. ]

If you don't know her too well I'd go with some kind of safe bet. Just buy her a coke and tell her you like her.

[ lol like he knows anything ]

[voice;]

[livinuptothename]

[ Wow, hi, Dick, he's really happy to hear your voice. Even if it's ridiculously young. ]

That's pretty basic coming from a superhero, Robin.

[ It feels weird using that name. ]
