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. ]

... If you can't tell if a woman wants you or not by lookin' at her, lad, you shouldn't be asking 'bout courtship.

The opportunity to stare into each other's eyes hasn't really presented itself.

What, so you've fallen fer her voice or summat like that?

More like her stupid jokes, but yeah, I guess you could say that.

[ Aside from the fact that most of the time he sees her, she's also some kind of animal. ]

What kind of stupid jokes are ya talking 'bout?

[livinuptothename]

Puns, mostly. Really terrible puns.

[ And looooots of innuendo, but maybe better to leave that part out right now. ]

[ Snoooooooorts. ]

She ain't sound like any woman I know. So why don't you tell 'er you like 'er and want 'er?

[livinuptothename]

Then you don't know the right kinda women, buddy.

[ He ducks his head, totally not embarrassed or anything. Just. Ya know... ]

Um. Yeah, I guess I was kinda planning on doing that. Just wondering if there was a better way to say it than just "Hey, I think you're really awesome, we should make out."

[ Okay, you're making him laugh again. He doesn't know what 'make out' means, but it's really easy to guess. ]

You'd be taking all the romance out of it, and I remember women liking those things. How 'bout you tell her slow-like all the things you like 'bout her, and then you approach, eh?
