[ He looks through the booklet and points at the blonde one, not sure if he's supposed to read their personality types or not, but even if he does, he's not too familiar with personality types in these games. ]
What about this one? What is she like? I suppose she is the cutest of them all, in my opinion.
[ Rei just stared at him blankly for a moment as he went on and on about this girl crying, and while he got what he was saying...she was crying over someone remembering her birthday... ]
It is a thing, Mikorin, and I know it from first-hand experience. [ he brought out the nickname, so Rei returned it. ]
But, to cry over someone remembering your birthday is a bit silly, especially since it's common to remember birthdays of those who you are close to, even friends.
And you remembered that? I'm certainly one for remembering details about people myself, but that's impressive. You must be really good with girls in real life, then, since don't women expect you to remember crazy things?
[ He has no idea, but honestly he can't help but smirk a little when Mikoto understood what he just called him. ]
I called you Mikorin, since you called me "Rei-chan," I thought it was fitting since you used my nickname.
[ Though, if Mikoto thought about it enough, if it wasn't Chiyo, then who else would even tell him this around here? Nozaki, of course. ]
Of course I know how to use the controller, just allow me to read the manual so I know how this game is controlled. I did pick the girl already, but how do I get her to like me?
[ Mikoto is just shaking his head, handing over the controller. ]
You don't need to read the manual, just hit the buttons when it asks you to pick something and use the arrows. You have to get close to her by answering just the right way, so it's delicate.
[ This look that he's giving you defies description, Rei. ]
Haa, seriously? Have you never played one of these? You don't just get to jump right in and talk to the one you want right away! You have to work for it, dummy!
I don't play video games often unless Nagisa-kun suggests them. [ aka they probably just play Mario Kart or something. That's what they're always screaming about. ]
I am not a "dummy" in both literal sense and in intelligence sense. Anyway, does that mean I can just tell this girl who keeps talking to me to go away? [ RUDE?? Watch him say that about Mikoto's favorite too, honestly. ]
But if they're like real people and I don't want to talk to them, then I wouldn't?
[ They said "hello" first, Rei. Could he be any worse at this game--Okay, maybe not as bad as Nozaki was at first. ]
They're already talking to me, so I suppose it can't be helped to be polite, yes? Is this how dating works in real life? [ He's the one with the boyfriend here???? ]
Yeah, but since they're classmates you're supposed to be cordial or something, you know?
[ a sigh ]
Besides, sometimes the way you treat one girl keeps you from getting the one you want; especially if their friends. That's totally how the real world works!
[ mikoto as if you've ever actually been on a date ]
Oh, they're all my classmates? Why didn't you say so before--
[ Is this really how dating was supposed to work? Straight couples were weird...girls were weird. ]
So even in real life, you have to be nice to the girl's friends or you won't get to date who you want? I think that makes sense! [ What happened here... ]
Wha--they actually do that?! I thought that was a silly made-up movie thing?!
[ He's learning so much about the female species today...they are all a mystery. He thinks Mikoto is an expert since he knows a lot about these games. (And how wrong he was.) ]

In the game we just met last week, she only mentioned it once so she's --
no subject
W-what did you just call me?!
no subject
[ He has no idea, but honestly he can't help but smirk a little when Mikoto understood what he just called him. ]
I called you Mikorin, since you called me "Rei-chan," I thought it was fitting since you used my nickname.
no subject
Who told you?! Who told you it was okay to call me that?
no subject
[ Rei just huffed, obviously not going to tell him who it was since he would never do that to someone who gave him this information! ]
I have certain sources. It's just a nickname, and don't worry, I won't tell Makoto-senpai or Rin-senpai.
no subject
It was S-sakura, wasn't it?!
[ He really doesn't want to have to tell him he's crap with girls. ]
no subject
I'm not telling you who it was. I thought we were going to play this game. [ It wasn't Chiyo, though. ]
no subject
Y-yeah, of course we are! You picked your girl already, right? Let me reset it...
[ A pause. ]
You do know how to use the controller, right?
no subject
Of course I know how to use the controller, just allow me to read the manual so I know how this game is controlled. I did pick the girl already, but how do I get her to like me?
[ a question every man has. ]

i never got this notif??? replies late
[ He was already worried about this game and he had literally just had the controller for two moments. ]
I'll try, but since you are an expert, please tell me if I do something wrong. [ How did he...start the game...]
no subject
Believe me, you'll know if you do something wrong.
no subject
Are you sure? I mean, I suppose you know best.
[ With that, he started the game, and of course the girl he 'picked' wasn't the first to show up which might have confused him a little bit. ]
Where is the girl that I wanted to pursue? I don't want to talk to this girl? [ Rei... ]
no subject

[ He's grabbing for the controller now. ]
Just give it here, you can't be rude to them; it could mess up the whole thing! You really are a dummy!!
no subject
It would mess the whole thing up? But I don't want the route with this girl?
no subject
[ He relented in taking that controller from Rei, stepping back and crossing his arms over his chest. ]
Look, think of it this way: they're real people, talk to them and react like they're right in front of you.

[ well then ]
...I mean, you know they go to the restroom to gossip about guys for a reason, right?
[ as if he really knows ]
no subject
[ He's learning so much about the female species today...they are all a mystery. He thinks Mikoto is an expert since he knows a lot about these games. (And how wrong he was.) ]
Do they also do this in this game?
no subject
[ a pause as he thinks on it ]
Well, maybe, but it's not like they show it. That's a totally different type of game...
But they definitely do it in real life, especially at mixers!
[ like he truly knows ]
