[Sure, he's walking through the city today with Chobo, but he's also twirling a rose behind his back. For some reason, he just can't put it down. Though maybe he'd just give it to someone. Like Crys. Or Silver. Or something. Someone. Hell, even Chobo could eat it.

Not being a fan of chocolates or real sweet things in general, he's chocolate free.

Just.

A little more courageous than usual, maybe, though you can't tell it right off. Courageous enough to maybe, you know, ask someone out. Steady out. Out out. Dating. Life partners. Daycare couple.

Maybe.

Anyway, the important thing is that he's got something to propose and someone to propose to and it's gonna be faaaaantastic and food filled. Pokégear, let's shine the spotlight! Man, it's still weird to use it like this!]

Hope everyone's lovey dovey day was cool, since for sad singles like myself it's just a cruel reminder of reality. [~Dramatic~] Anyway, since that's outta the way, I've got a plan.

[He pauses, idly twirling the flower hidden from view, and grins as he pushes Chobo away from his back with his free hand.]

A cook off. We got any aspirin' chefs or something like that? I figure that with so many kinds of people from all round the galaxy or whatever there's a ton of different flavors, so it'd be fun! For everyone! Especially me, 'cause I'm gonna be judgin' it!

[Hell yeah. Free food. Free, delicious food. Mmmm. Yes. Just what one needs after a single's Valentine's Day where you got pity chocolate from your best friends.]

Any takers?

Don't be so overdramatic, Gold. You got chocolate.

[Weren't hers good? Geez.]

Besides, if you weren't so... [...she can't call him a coward in public. She more than implied it in private, but public? No can do, my friend.] You could've asked to spend the day with some cute girl, but you didn't.

[Oh, there she is, there she is. With an unusual courage concerning his own love matters swelling up, it's pretty hard to keep his mouth shut.

Considering it's usually open anyway. Mind to mouth filter? Tact? Never been good with that kind of stuff.]

So let's fix that right now. Let's go out. You and me.

video 2/2 whoops

[capturespecialist]

[Go... out....]

Like -- an outing? Like, hang out? Like we did in the igloo, or when we went shopping?

[uncouthhatcher]

Out out.

[Eloquence. And bravery. Wow. It's so easy, how did he not do this before. Thanks rose!!]

Steady out out or just one date out out?

LISTENING IN NEARBY GOLD AND JUST-

[feistytrader]

[heretic_hamlet]

[A pretty good deal for Gold, he had to admit, but Ramza couldn't help but give him a much-needed prod right back.]

And will the judge offer a prize for the finest dish?

[uncouthhatcher]

[-- It's Ramza oh no uh play it cooool yes play it cool.

You cool. Yooou cool. Hella cool. So cool.]

Of course! Whoever wins gets a date with me! Or I'll think of somethin' if enough are into the idea.

[heretic_hamlet]

[Nuh-uh. For all Gold's ribbing, someone needs to call him out on a thinly-veiled trick to binge on free handouts.

In a matter befitting his usual japes, of course.]

A date with you? And would that be carried on their coin and endeavor as well?

[uncouthhatcher]

[You are so harshin' on him.]

Please, birdboy, I'm a gentleman. [Yeah.] We'll split it even.

[heretic_hamlet]

Your chivalry knows no bounds.

[Well, really, that much would be fair enough if not for the free food...]

Still, I would hope to see it myself. I've never had such talent for cooking, but to see the best fare of many dozen worlds... it would be quite a feast.

I only hope they'd have no want for their own world's ingredients...

[uncouthhatcher]

[Your words are such wounds on his heart, Ramza, give him a chance.]

I'm sure they'd be able to find something like it here! Unless it's like some kinda secret spice or something like that. [He pauses, then continues.] Are you bad at cookin' from birth or do you just not know?

[heretic_hamlet]

I... had never thought to try it. Not before my arrival here.

[Such is life as a minor noble, after all; and even in his travels, he left his meals to that talented Chemist he'd recruited from his old military academy...]

And since then I've only come to grasp the basics. Have you any talent for it?

[uncouthhatcher]

[You poor, poor soul.]

I'm great at it! I used to help out my mom with dinner and stuff back home, especially when I started gettin' older, so you could say I know a thing or two. Hell, I could even teach a birdboy like you to cook.

[Chobo ruffles her feathers and seems to be pretty impatient. She wants to keep waaalking. Quit talking to the yellow choboy and let's goooo.



But she has to agree Gold's food is pretty good shut up.]

video's for losers here have some action roomie

[feistytrader]

[There are plenty of things he could comment on. How that's an obvious ploy to get easy food, what's lovey dovey day, are you talking about Valentine's day and Crys' chocolate.

He's got something else in mind.]

Can I judge too?

[He can be the good judge. Or the less spicily biased judge. Or something.] What are you gonna make?

hey homo

[uncouthhatcher]

Of course you can judge! Why not. It'll be fun.

[Maybe Silver can even join in and make...

...

Eggs. Or something.

But what he's gonna make... Good question.]

Might make something from my own heart, if we're short on competition, but I'm just aimin' to sit back and eat until I bust.

[feistytrader]

[...Oh. Oh.]

This is just an excuse for you to get some free good food, isn't it?

[uncouthhatcher]

I ain't exactly tryin' to hide my intentions, now, 'course I want some free good food! But it'll be fun to see what everyone's worlds are like or something like that.

[Yeah. That bullshit reasoning is good enough.

Provided they get participants hahahaha.]

[feistytrader]

"Or something like that". Right.

[uncouthhatcher]

If you're gonna complain you ain't got a right to judge, y'know.

[feistytrader]

[What? No, no. He's not complaining. He likes free food too.

See? Totally not complaining.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[That's what he thought.]

Ha! You're just as guilty as I am about it. Speakin' of food though, you wanna go on a date and get some?

[Hell yeah. Nailed it. Thanks, rose. Thanks.]
