<sub>[ Perhaps you recognize this guy because he has two other identical brothers here. Perhaps you recognize him from watching some campy soap opera that he has acted in— you know his face, he's the guy that always dies in the background. If not, perhaps you're one of the unfortunate people who actually know him.. or are friends with him. Yikes. Either way, this feed features Karamatsu illuminated by candlelight, nothing more. He's wearing a closed bathrobe and.. nothing more, either. Well, just about. There's a red bow tied around his neck— if anyone cared to look further, they'll probably see it's also draped over his collarbone, implying he's wrapped up in a ribbon like a present underneath that robe.

Spoiler: he is.

But that's not it. A painful picture deserves some painful monologues, right? He parts his lips, expression appearing wistful. It's bad acting at it's finest. It's cringe worthy. ]</sub>

Ah, December. It is probably... my second favorite time of the year. It is a time for generosity, a time for giving. A time to reflect on your former self as the year draws to an end.. a time for.. love. _{[ TAKES A DRAMATIC SIP OF WINE. ]}
Where I am from.. we celebrate Christmas. It is.. expected, ah no, it is mandatory that love blossoms within the snowy air, shrouding all feelings of loneliness with feelings of adoration— feelings of belong. If you are lonely this month, I can offer you the greatest gift you can ever receive! Ah, are you ready? _{[ He sucks in a breath and then exclaims with a flourish: ]}
IT IS LOVE!!!
It is all the love that I could ever give! Simply accept and be my date on the 25th! I will shower you with gifts! I will shower you with.. romance!
_{[ His voice is cracking slightly from sounding so desperate, tears pricking the corner of his eyes. It's really pitiful. ]}

I will give you a night you won't ever forget! _{[ PROBABLY FOR THE WRONG REASONS... ]}
Say goodbye to lonely nights, hello to season delights!!

[ Bulbosa's been nagging her to get a life outside of work for the best part of a year now, so she considers it. Very briefly. ]

Sorry, I don't date. Maybe I could give you some pointers, though..? [ Seems like he could use all the help he can get! ]

[glitterpants]

You don't date? Ah.. why would I want pointers from somebody who doesn't date?
_{[ He doesn't mean to sound rude— he's just really conceited and it comes off that way. ]}

Oi, are you sure you don't date? Is there a reason why? Are you.. trying to protect your fragile heart from breaking?

[crowgirl]

I might not be interested but I still get offers. [ Rude as he is she can't really argue with the logic, so just. Shrugs. ] It's your call, either way.

You've got a pretty vivid imagination, huh? It's nothing serious, I'm just too busy working. [ ...to distract herself from a broken heart! ]

[glitterpants]

W-Well, I think.. if I were somebody who was rejecting dates.. that would be the reason why.
So I do not get hurt.
_{[ If you hadn't noticed, he's one who focuses on himself. A lot. ]}

[crowgirl]

[ He has to know that you don't need to date to get your heart broken, right?! If explaining as much didn't potentially leave her open to awkward questions, Raven definitely would. Instead, she settles for the best deflection technique known to man: good-natured teasing! ]

Ah... who would've thought a guy who's willing to strip down to proposition the entire network for dates could have such a vulnerable side?

_{[ He swallows thickly. This girl is too cool for him to even be talking to! Why is she even giving him the time of day? ]}

Heh.. well. We all have weaknesses, right? Even the most beautiful rose will wilt away after time! Ah.. I am just.. very comfortable in my skin!
_{[ Kind of. ]}

[crowgirl]

[ She inclines her head slightly, listening with a small smile. He's... actually not that bad when he isn't hamming it up so much! ]

It's good that you're comfortable in your own skin, but maybe try leaving a bit more to the imagination next time? [ Not that Raven can really talk, considering her usual attire. ] Girls usually prefer a little mystery, in my experience.

[glitterpants]

_{[ don't let moments like this fool you... he'll say something stupid any second. ]}

Mystery, is that what you seek? Ah, worry not.. my personality is filled with plenty of mystery! My wardrobe.. it is also very mysterious! My course in life.. it's mysterious! I have no idea what I am doing, ah- haha!

_{[ HE ADMITS IT SO EASILY. ]}
