[Those checking their bracelets today will be welcomed with the image of Ryoji's smiling face. He's not at Hel, actually, but walking through the city, clearly unconcerned with how many passers-by may find him strange, babbling so excitedly to his bracelet.]

Hello there! I haven't really used this in a while, have I?

[He responds to posts, but never really saw a reason to make posts of his own.]

So I just got a new job working with Souji-kun and the others. It's a lot of fun, but it needed something else a little bit exciting... I hope no one minds that I've set up my own booth as well!

You'll have to come down to see what it is I'm offering, but while I'm here, I thought I'd ask a question...

[Ryoji grins mischievously.]

You of course don't have to answer, but should you feel like sharing... I want to know what your first kiss was like! Was it with a boy? A girl? Were there fireworks like in all the movies? I really hope everyone had a very romantic and memorable experience. Kisses make people feel happy, after all, and I love seeing people happy!

[...Yeah, it's really a mystery what his bright idea for a booth was.]

((OOC: Should anyone want to see his kissing booth, feel free to tag him here and mark it so I know if you want him to have the booth completed or not. I'd assume it should be up by Day 416.))

Oh, you're working there too? Good job, Ryoji. [Fortunately for Ryoji, Akihiko hasn't made the connection yet.] What're you offering?

[Akihiko wants to support his kouhai, so he should go down there and check out his services! Right?

And then that question makes him feel a little flustered, because he's never been very good at romance.] Uh... Isn't there a saying about kissing and telling?

[Video]

[notsogrimreaper]

Thanks, Sempai! I told you already that it's a surprise, though! You'll have to come down if you want to see.

[Ryoji's grin gets a little wider.]

Well... I did say that you didn't have to tell... but it sure looks like you have a good story!

[Video]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

All right, I'll go pay you guys a visit. [He's definitely curious about the new place, and damned if Ryoji hasn't intrigued him with being so damn enigmatic.

That makes him even more flustered, and he awkwardly scratches the back of his neck.] Dunno about that... [Of course, he's not going to ask Ryoji about his, since he knows already.] It was probably just an accident or something.

[Video]

[notsogrimreaper]

Thanks! I’m sure everyone will be glad to have the business!

[He smiles happily, though the grin fades a little with Akihiko’s flustered look and small explanation.]

Are you sure? Maybe even if it was an accident, they liked it, and they want to kiss you on purpose next time.

It was a great and fine thing, filled with glorious purpose.

[subecho]

...perhaps because I remember nothing of it.

[notsogrimreaper]

Huh? How can you not remember your first kiss?

[Ryoji looks absolutely devastated. What would he do with himself if he couldn't remember such a wonderful thing?]

[subecho]

Much time has passed, little friend.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Why so interested?

[Video]

[notsogrimreaper]

There's no real reason. I just think it's a question that could generate some happy stories, and if no one wants to share, some good memories.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Mm.

Why so secretive about the booth?

[Video]

[notsogrimreaper]

Huh?

H-Hey! That was supposed to be a surprise!

[Now all of the cute girls who were going to go see what he was planning know what he's up to without any mystery... That's no fun at all!]

[mccallmemaybe]

My first kiss was perfect. If I could go back, I wouldn't change a thing about it...

Well, except for the part where I think my best friend was watching. [ Scott didn't know until after but still, kinda creepy. ]

[Not Here]

[teenyoda]

[He was watching for your benefit, you loser. How did he know you weren't trying to eat her tongue, huh? He was just looking out for you, bro.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Oh, that would be pretty awkward… Did they ever confront you about it?

[Ryoji isn’t sure whether talking about it or pretending it didn’t happen would be worse…]

E-Either way, I’m glad it was so perfect! Do you still talk with the person you kissed?

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

Well, he told me he saw us kissing right after we kissed, but then we got distracted talking about dead bodies... [ How does someone go from kissing to talking about dead bodies? Fairly easily if you live in Beacon Hills. ]

We do still talk. We broke up but we're still friends. [ And Scott's still in love with her, but it's all very complicated. ]

Why are you so interested anyway?

video;

[notsogrimreaper]

D-Dead bodies?

[Ryoji’s pretty certain that some of the conversations he had with Minato as Pharos, and later on in December, were very strange, but he was pretty sure they’d never gone from a normal teenage topic to death so quickly.]

That’s good to hear. I mean, it doesn’t matter what kind of love is there as long as they’re important to you.

[He chuckles a little awkwardly.]

It’s nothing really. The topic’s just been kind of on my mind for a while, and I wanted to hopefully remind people of some good memories.

[samantha_grey]

It was beyond terrible. I've almost never had a kiss that bad in my life.

[notsogrimreaper]

It was really that bad? How could it turn out so unromantic?

[samantha_grey]

It was definitely that bad. And that's probably because it wasn't meant to be romantic. It was just a terrible mistake, though I've had much better since.

[themortalhalf]

You sure do ask the weirdest questions.

[notsogrimreaper]

Is it really that weird? I just thought it might get people to share some interesting stories.

[themortalhalf]

Thought?

Did you?

[izanyagi]

...I don't remember.

[Oh my god how many people did you kiss?!]

[notsogrimreaper]

You don’t remember? It’s supposed to be special, isn’t it?
