I'm looking for a new morning jogging buddy.
I mean it doesn't just have to be one person.
But my last partner well...
I guess it doesn't matter now.
Anyway if you're interested just let me know!
We'll have to jog around the gym for now cause of the storms.
It'll have to be pretty early in the morning too, so be ready!

[ A small amount of time passes before Joe makes another post. ]

Oh also!
If anyone is good at cutting hair I could use some help.
My classmate would kill me if she saw how bad it's gotten haha...
Nothing dramatic! Just a trim.
I'll do a favor in return!

[ look at this nice and nifty post on the network that's in search for someone! he has no reason to actually answer when the person in question is only three. steps. away. ]

Isn't today my lucky day!

[ there's a sparkle at the end of his words, and now with his head attached, he's able to get a better look at joe's unruly hair. it really has grown out, ah, if he was an ai he wouldn't have this problem, actually. ]

I was just thinking that having someone in the morning would be good for brain simulation, your suggestion about jogging makes it more desirable.

[gatetohell]

[ Joe jumps at the sound of Midori's voice, nearly dropping his pda but managing to grab it before it hits the ground. He snaps his attention toward him, and his eyes widen when he realizes who's there. It might be the first time he's meeting Midori with his head on, but he certainly is aware of who this is.

And while he trusts Ranger and his opinion, he still hasn't forgotten what happened at the pool. ]

...And what makes you think I want to jog with you, huh?

[ Sara said to stay away but... ]

[antitoxin]

Because I need a buddy!

[ that's said with a sparkle in his voice, and with the fact he would enjoy having a little morning jog from time to time. it reminds him of his days when he was purely human — a younger sou hiyori — sadly now, he's older, and wiser, and his body doesn't have limitations like the person's before him.

it's with a gentle smile that he points at his pda, pointing at what was said. ]

You also said "anyone," am I... am I not included?

[ he's feigning sadness, but he'll hold up... it's like he's trying to hold back his disappointment, but it seeps through the cracks like he's hurt... and he's really, really good at that. ]

[gatetohell]

[ Joe's frown deepens in response, unsure what to make of this quite yet. He takes a moment before looking down at his PDA again and read's over his own post once more. Just to be safe. He looks back up at Midori. ]

Uh I said anyone who could cut my hair. Not jog.

[ Check mate!!! However- ]

...I'll consider lettin' you come jog with me though. If ya promise to behave.

[antitoxin]

[ cute. he could cut joe's hair too, he'd be part of the rat tail brigade as well... it is growing. ]

I can do that as well, but I'm mot interested in the athletic aspect.

[ whether he means behaving or cutting his hair is up in the air though it's the latter than the former, he manages a playful smile. ]

To see if I'm a suitable partner, why don't we run together right now?

I could easily volunteer for both, Jou Tazuna.

[ In part so no more almost dying takes place... That said, he imagines that someone like Jou Tazuna is sure to receive countless offers flooding in within moments of making his requests public, and there is limited jogging space and limited hair in need of a trim. ]

[gatetohell]

I didn't take you as the jogging type Alice!
Nor did I think you cut hair!
But I'd appreciate both. A lot!
Can we do it soon?
My hair I mean.

[ There is no alterative motive behind this. ]

[shimashima]

[ What is that supposed to mean...?! Does he look like he just sits around all day?! True, he did a lot of that in prison, and in that Asunaro facility garden room... but he can handle jogging and getting sweaty!

...Wait, Jou Tazuna actually intends to accept both offers?! ]

It's important to exercise regularly, yes? It's equally important to stay properly groomed. Simply state a time and date, and I shall provide my experienced assistance.

[gatetohell]

[ While all that may be true about the sitting, Joe does consider Alice's prison time a bit. It really would be important to stay in shape there. But he's not insensitive enough to just say that. ]

Thanks man!
You wanna do it liiiike...
now?

[ Right now. ]

[shimashima]

[ Now? This very instant, truly?! Well, since all he suddenly has on his immediate schedule is confirming that he doesn't somehow look fat instead of muscular and in excellent shape in his reduced wardrobe options at this school, why not... ]

Let us meet in the men's bathroom adjacent to the dormitory common room, then. Worry not, your hairstyle will be restored to its former glory.

I go down to the cairn before classes, so I wouldn't mind joining you on a jog, Tazuna-kun.

I'm probably pretty slow, though.

[gatetohell]

Hope this doesn't come off wrong but
Kinda surprised you want to, Nanami.
But you are definitely invited!
And speed's not a worry!
I'll go at any pace you need to!

[waitingforplayer2]

Well, when you play Wii Fit you need to learn how to use the Balance Board.

[ ... Nanami what. ]

I'd like to try, at least.

[gatetohell]

...I really want to play Wii Fit now.
But yeah! Let's give it a try!
How good are you with mornings?

[waitingforplayer2]

I think it hasn't been invented yet.
But I guess the Game Girl also might not be? And I got it anyway.
I usually go right before classes around 8.

im pretty athletic so i dont mind going for a jog with you if you want

i could also cut your hair. i used to cut mine with a knife all the time when i was away from towns

[gatetohell]

Yeah that sounds great!
Invite is definitely open!
Also... a knife?
How well does that work?

[silentabyss]

depends on how sharp the knife is and how you angle the blade. didnt have scissors on the road. i think it worked pretty well

[...said Noah, who doesn't brush his hair already so it's just a fluffy nightmare. The knife thing can't have helped.]

[gatetohell]

Oh um hm...
I dunno if I want a knife near my head.
Or at all haha.
But thanks for the offer!!

[silentabyss]

yeah that makes sense

is a knife any worse than scissors tho

Joe! ( she knows that name! )

I'm not very athletic, but if you still need help with your hair, I'd be happy to help. The only favour I would ask is for the chance to talk together.

[gatetohell]

[ ... m.hiyori? Who is this? Someone who knows Joe by name, but a name he doesn't really recognize. Why do so many strangers know him...?

But the name definitely stands out to him. Hiyori... Sou's sister maybe? ]

Well, I did find someone to help with my hair.
But if you want to talk I'm up for it!
Do you want to meet up?

[ There's an uneasy feeling in his chest, but his curiosity once again gets the better of him. ]

[socialize]

Did you? That's too bad...
I would still love to chat though. Perhaps I can find another way to thank you.

[gatetohell]

[ Is she actually disappointed? He feels a little bad now... ]

Hey if you want to chat, you don't find a way to thank me!
Let's just have a chat!
Just tell me where and when!

[socialize]

How about the sewing room? Today?
I'll prepare us some tea and snacks. Do you have a flavour you like best?
