001 ✱ VIDEO

[Kodaka is just staring, not saying anything yet. He looks away, breaking eye contact right before he speaks. He's breathing heavily because he's nervous, but instead it comes off looking like he's wheezing or has a very gruff voice.]

I've seen others post videos like this, and they mention how they feel or if they needed something. [He doesn’t particularly feel like expressing his thoughts about this place just yet. Instead his face and his ever so... strange pudding color blond hair tells you something is strange and odd about this kid.]

Is that what people share here? Sharing information about themselves, or asking things. Can you meet people and make friends using this? Like those social networking sites people use. [He attempts to smile, but it comes off looking rather scary. His smile looks more demented than anything.] My name is Hasegawa Kodaka and I’m looking to make friends here since I am new.[Somehow such a statement did not match with how he is looking in the video... which is downright omniscient and scary. He moves his face closer, so close only part of his face can be seen. He can’t help his nerves have gotten to him.] I like doing things friends do together and spending time with other people... oh, I like telling jokes! [While it may seem corny and pathetic, he really has no idea how to introduce himself on these social networking things. So sadly, he's giving out huge CREEPER!! vibes rather than someone friendly.] It'd be nice to meet some friendly people here who know how things work here.

[ooc: sorry for the delay everyone! busy weekend was busy.]

I want you to help the members of the Neighbors Club, too.

The more people looking for her, the higher chance of someone spotting her.

[giver]

What is the Neighbors Club?

It doesn't even sound normal.

[mishaps]

It's a club where people learn how to make friends.

[giver]

[no he's actually laughing..............]

There's actually an entire club for that? What a poor selection for funds...

[mishaps]

[hey hey hey!! usually he's not the one to be defensive about the club but that's a low blow and it does mean a lot to him.]

Fostering friendship and learning life skills isn't important?

[giver]

No.

But it seems the type of thing Himari would be attracted towards. She'd probably join up herself, even though she could already make as many friends as she wanted... [he trails off for a moment before he snaps back to attention] How big is the club?

[mishaps]

It's important to some people, though. So writing them off like that doesn't help them.

[why this is totally misleading.] Membership has doubled since it has relocated here.

[giver]

It's not my intention to write them off. [they're useful and disposable pawns.]

All right. Just as long as I'm not in the club itself, I'll do it. Keep up your end of the deal.

[mishaps]

Then you should be more careful with what you say.

Just think of yourself as a guest lecturer.

[giver]

Fine. Then you should listen to this first piece of advise.

Don't make it seem like you need to make friends.

[mishaps]

How many friends has that gotten you?

[giver]

Enough.

More girlfriends than necessary. Well... I suppose they were all useful. Are you interested in getting one? [already assuming kodaka doesn't have one...]

[mishaps]

[ WHAT QUESTION IS THAT BE GENTLE WITH THIS PURE FLOWER OKAY!!!!!!!]

N-no, I'm just looking for friends right now. [because he still needs to learn a lot in order to have a girlfriend leave him alone....!!![

[giver]

It's easier than making friends, if you ever wanted to try.

Just try smiling at people. They'll smile back [because they're stupid] and it's easier to get a good atmosphere.

[mishaps]

[ZOOMS HIS FACE IN AND ATTEMPTS TO SMILE. LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!!]

Like this?

[1/2]

[giver]

[giver]

The entire club is like this?

[mishaps]

No. [And now he's embarrassed so he stops smiling... WAY TO GO!!!]

[giver]

Well...

It wasn't bad.

[mishaps]

Really? [okay maybe he has improved he's been practicing okay.]

[giver]

No.

That was something said to make someone feel better. Read the atmosphere, answer appropriately. It's an important lesson. People expect you to act in certain ways in different situations.

[mishaps]

So you lied to me.

[giver]

It really wasn't so bad.

[mishaps]

That doesn't mean it what you said wasn't a lie.

[giver]

I don't consider it a lie.

A lie would have been telling you that you were doing well.
