No. . . I care about whether or not the person is sincere and true.

Then there you have it! I mean, I have no problems with meeting you if you really want to see me... but you might want to consider your selling point on it for the next person, y'know? [ A beat, then: ] But I look really ugly right now, Akashi-chan! I just cried at you and everything...

My selling point? What do you mean?

When you say you wanna meet someone. It'd be much better if you said you just wanted to see if they were genuine, instead of saying you needed to see them in person yourself.

I suppose I could have phrased that a little better.

Welllll, you know for next time, right? Phew, I'm feeling a lot better now we got that out in the open though, Akashi-chan! When and where did you wanna meet?

If I were to get to know you, then we would have to do something together, correct?

[ why is he such a robot ]

Do you play any sports?

Right, righ-- [ He cuts off though when he brings up sports. ]

Akashi-chan, playing sports isn't very good for a first date, y'know?

But this isn't a date.

You wanted to get to know me, right?

Is that what people would call it, then?

[ This still isn't a date. ]

Totes! [ Totes????? ] It's a day when we're meeting each other, right? Soooo, take me out somewhere fun, Akashi-chan.

By the sounds of it, what's fun for me is different from yours.

Why don't you tell me what you'd like to do?

Well if sport is all you like doing, proooooobably. I'm really unfit, so things like that make me wheeze and you'll be carrying me to a hospital in no time. [ A. Lie. ]

So what about something like accompanying me to buy presents for people? [ Is he even buying any ]

Alright. It will be a good way to get to know the place better, too.

[ oh my god don't make him carry your shit tho ]

So, when are you picking me up?

[ No, that's what dates do!!! ]

[ ???? ]

Ah. When are you free?

[ He didn't think he had to pick him up, too... ]

[ Akashi, leaning the rules of dating from one of the least datable people in Verens. ]

How about tomorrow? You can pick me up from the welcome centre, okay? What time?

[ Well, it's better than him going yandere or something I guess. ]

How about at 1, after lunch?

Okie dokie, then I'll be waiting for you to pick me up at 1. Don't keep me waiting, okay?

I'll do my best to be on time.

Mmm, I'll be really upset if you stand me up, y'know?

[ NEVERMIND THAT HE DID IT BEFORE ]

There are times when I might be late, but I will always pull through and keep my word.

[ ... why does this sound like a commitment tho ]

Okie dokie, then I'll see you tomorrow, Akashi-chan!

[ He's actually on time, at the welcome centre by 1pm. If anything, he'd actually said here because he'd planned on going somewhere nearby beforehand. It works out. Waiting doesn't exactly suit him though, so by the time Akashi arrives he'll find Ouma's crouching on the floor, using a stick to draw in the dirt.

Yes, just like a child might.

The doodle is actually just lots of swirls and hearts. Maybe a duck to the side. ]

[ It was neglect on Akashi's part that he forgot to ask how Kokichi looked like, but he figures that there won't be much people at the welcome centre now that most newcomers have begun settling down. He's only a little bit late -- 5 or so minutes -- and he doesn't seem bothered by his lack of punctuality at all. ]

Hey.

[ There's only one person outside the welcome centre who seems to be idle (or at least... drawing something). He figures that this guy might be the one Akashi is looking for. ]
