THE EVENT INFOPOST | MOD QUESTIONS HOTLINE
no subject
[What is even happening here? Whatever it is, he's having fun with it at least.]
I don't mind answering. I thought you might be in your early twenties, so not very far off.
no subject
[Which is a nice way of saying 'slightly creepy and kind of unsettling, but in way that makes me want to puzzle you out rather than run for the hills'.
...fortunately those hills aren't going anywhere, though, just in case.]
Although since this is meant to be a dating program, I suppose it's the appropriate platform to ask those sorts of silly questions. So? Are you a tea person or a coffee person?
no subject
The answer is coffee, by the way. Black usually, but I indulge in extras from time to time.
[He's a total nightmare at Staryubucks on those days of indulgence.]
And I take it you must be a tea person?
1/2
...
...o-or, well, that is...]
I am certainly fond of tea, yes! But, I mean, I don't mind the odd coffee! I actually really like coffee, you know!
[...]
I might even like it more than I do tea! Actually, no, scratch that, I do like it more than tea! I don't even like tea all that much, really! I mean, coffee is so much stronger and it gives you such a kick! I really love coffee, Rideaux!!
2/2
....a second message follows that first one...rather quickly.]
...that was likely very confusing. Sorry about that.
It's...a long story.
[Everything is over, so...what's the point in trying to sell that lie any more? God, she could use some coffee...]
no subject
...The follow up text doesn't really help, but at least she recognized how ridiculous that just sounded.]
Emmy, what the hell was that? Is it really that hard to say you actually do prefer coffee?
[He could have just pointed out that not minutes ago she said she didn't like coffee, but that jumble of words deserves a stronger reaction.]
no subject
[Not that she intends to tell you all the details about this particular quirk. That sounds like it's just asking for trouble...]
How about we just move on for now? It's your turn to ask a question, after all.
no subject
[He's now making a mental note to make jabs at her about this in the future!]
Oh, you want to keep this going? Fine, I'll think of something.
Why don't you tell me about where you're from? We're talking via text now, but when I first heard your voice, I found your accent to be rather unique. I've never heard one quite like it.
no subject
...
for now]
Wow, I'm rather flattered you noticed! I'm actually from a place called London. It's quite a massive city, located in England! It's quite the lovely spot; there's a river running through it, so there are all sorts of beautiful bridges! We also have a huge palace, a famous clocktower...there's nowhere quite like it!
My accent is called a 'British' accent, by the way! England is part of Great Britain, which is a group of countries. I hope that made sense!
[Clearly she'll have to teach you some good BRITISH words some day!]
What about your world, Rideaux? I've heard snippets about it, but I'm yet to get the full picture!
no subject
As for me, I come from a country called Elympios. There are only two countries in my world: Elympios and Rieze Maxia. Elympios is much larger, though more desolate due to the majority of it being a desert.
The city I live in is called Trigleph, and it has the highest concentration of the Elympion population. Like your London, Trigleph is incredibly massive, consisting mainly of skyscrapers with sloping streets and bridges. Due to its size and importance to Elympios, it contains a train station that connects to all other major cities in the country along with a port on the ocean's coast for access to Rieze Maxia, so people and materials can travel with ease. The headquarters of my place of work is located at the heart of Trigleph, and is visible from almost any corner of the city.
no subject
okay that sounds legitimately incredible, wow]
Oh Rideaux, that sounds fascinating! I'd love to see it!
[She would take so many photos...]
The building you work in must be massive! You're obviously rather important~!
no subject
I think you'd have a good time with the technology too. It's much more different than anything this world has to offer, phones aside.
And was that a compliment, Emmy? I'm rather touched.
[...it's more than likely he's not being serious about being touched, but it did surprise him a little bit.]
But you're right. I have a management position there. When I'm not tending to my patients, I oversee the efforts of many subordinates and make sure they are all operating efficiently for the corporation.
[In other words, they better not fuck up anything or they're dead. Totes not an exaggeration.]
Did you have any other burning questions?
no subject
...well!!]
You obviously caught me off guard! Don't go getting used to it, now.
[Especially not if you keep teasing her about her coffee problem, you!]
As for questions.....hmm. Am I allowed to come to you if I have any medical problems?
[Not that...she would, but it can't hurt to ask....]
no subject
[As for the question, well...as Emmy reads Rideaux's response, she can probably imagine the look he had on his face as he wrote it. Or hey, maybe he's sincere this time!]
Of course you are. What sort of doctor would I be to refuse a patient?
[He'll kindly leave out the, "You had better hope you can pay for it after the fact, though." That'll be Emmy's little surprise should she ever actually have to come to him for treatment.]
no subject
...
...maybe she'll just ensure she doesn't fall ill.]
I suppose there have to be some perks to having a doctor as a friend!
[That message is sent off before she has a chance to think about it; oh dear, she said the 'f' word...that wasn't...!
...well surely it can't hurt that much! If they're not friends, then what are they? Admittedly it's a rather odd friendship, but she's been in worse relationships...]
no subject
Emmy might be waiting a little while for a response, as Rideaux has to seriously contemplate the use of the 'f' word there. Is that what she really thinks of their relationship as? A friendship? He would have never considered it.
Naturally, it begs the question,]
You think of me as your friend? That's taking the joke a bit far, don't you think?
[...he realizes the implications about himself displayed in those questions, but whatever.]
no subject
Well, I mean, we do clash a lot, but I do think of you like that, yes. It's just easier to default to 'friend' rather than complicate things. We do spend a bit of time together, you know.
[...]
Is that a problem...?
no subject
Rideaux's response comes a little quicker this time.]
No, I suppose it's not. I just didn't see it that way at all.
[How blunt.
He's still a bit hesitant, because keeping things on a business level is how he prefers to operate. If she wants to consider this a friendship, he's going to be on a higher alert than ever.]
Though I'm not opposed to changing my viewpoint.
no subject
You certainly don't mince words, do you? If I had thinner skin, I'd be rather offended!
[To be honest, she probably would be offended if it was anyone else, but...she's learned, by now, that Rideaux seems to march to the beat of his own drum.
Which is the nicest way of saying it.]
You can call it whatever makes you feel the most comfortable. I doubt we're going to be having sleepovers and making friendship bracelets any time soon, so you can relax.
As long as you don't consider me an enemy, I'm easy.
no subject
Who knows though, maybe "friendship" really will end up being the most applicable term for our relationship.
[Emmy should feel honored that he's taking such a risk here!!]
And no, I don't see you as an enemy. I trust you won't give me a reason to?
[There's a bit of a threat hidden behind those words- implications that can't be publicly voiced. But that doesn't only apply to their professional relationship either.
...Just what is this man's damage with friendships, good lord.]
no subject
I don't intend to make an enemy of you, no. Unless convincing you to buy me the odd coffee is enough to get me in your bad books.
[Totally joking, of course!
...maybe not about the coffee, though. Coffee is serious business, Rideaux!]
But I'm sure you can handle that.
no subject
[He actually sends just that to start for dramatic effect, then replies again not too long after.]
Jokes aside, coffee isn't out of the question, no. As long as you don't have a personal life crisis deciding what to put in it when we get there.
[HE SAID HE WAS DONE JOKING.
...maybe he's not this time, uh.]
no subject
Oh don't start! I promise I'll try to behave myself when faced with a barista, alright! Especially if you're paying.
[Of course, she'll also offer to shout from time to time! It doesn't quite feel right, otherwise. Besides, she has a feeling you might try to pull the old 'but I bought you coffee!' trick if you want something from her...best to keep things even.
Besides, that's what friends do, right? They buy coffee for each other. Take that!]
I might even let you suggest something for me. I'm sure you have good taste, after all!
no subject
[Okay, he's done for real now, he swears.]
My taste is unmatched, naturally. Give me a call when you'd like to go, and I'll order two of my particular favorite.
[It occurs to him after he sends that text, that he came into this just wanting to mess around with Emmy's apparent quest for love and ended up with a not-date coffee outing and a declaration of friendship.
What the hell even happened here? He's not quite sure if he's ready to say he's fine with this but...it's okay, he guesses.]
