[Action, early evening of the 11th]

[ledbythewind]

[A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Richard made a certain offer to Asbel because his best friend is apparently incapable of going after the woman who likes him (aka Cheria) without outside intervention. He's already pulled some intervention in the form of mistletoe shenanigans, but since then, there's been absolutely no progress on that front and it's nearly Valentine's Day.

So Richard has decided to take matters into his own hands. As a king, he's had more than enough lessons in manners and the proper methods of courting ladies, meaning that he is going to make sure that Asbel knows how to treat a woman right, and what better way to do so than by having Asbel take him out for an evening the way he (hopefully) will with Cheria later? Of course, there's only one flaw in this plan, which is figuring out how to make Asbel forget that he's with Richard, his decidedly male best friend, and act like he would if he were going out with an actual woman. BUT HE HAS A PLAN. And said plan involves a purple dress, a bit of makeup, some jewelry, and his hair swept up into a slightly messy updo.

There, perfect. Now, to execute the plan...

Feel free to gawk at the lovely lady who is heading to Seventh Heaven to meet Asbel! Or just stare in horror because RICHARD IS THAT YOU.]

(OOC: Will probably be a bit slow with tags because I'm still sick, but this needed to be done before the event! And I am getting to the stuff in my inbox. :|b)

YAAAAAAY

[ledbythewind]

I'm off to meet a friend of mine for a date at Seventh Heaven.

[neverplaysfair]

What sort of a date?

[ledbythewind]

A date to teach him the proper way to court a woman.

[Were you expecting something else, Josh?]

[neverplaysfair]

Ah, instructional.

[ Well there are the dates for money, but considering there's no money here he was starting to think about different favors. ]

Does he need a lot of help, then?

[ledbythewind]

I wouldn't be doing this otherwise. As it is, I'm afraid to set him loose around the woman he likes without this instruction.

[Well he wouldn't exactly turn down those kind of favors from Asbel but shhh]

[neverplaysfair]

Then this isn't your normal choice of evening attire? How disappointing.

[ledbythewind]

Do you prefer this sort of thing?

[neverplaysfair]

It suits you very nicely. [ He giggles. ] That much I can appreciate.

[ledbythewind]

Why thank you. I tried to pick a color that would flatter me.

[neverplaysfair]

And you did, if I do say so. [ ... Richard, I do believe you are being hit on by a teenage male. ] Do you do this sort of thing often?

[ledbythewind]

[Hey, at least he swings that way! ... too bad he's not interested, though.]

No, this is the first time I've tried it. What do you think?

[neverplaysfair]

[ Sigh, why are they always not interested? ]

I think you look quite lovely, especially if this is your first time trying out makeup. I suppose your hair could use a bit of work, but if you don't particularly mind the look, it's what would probably happen after a few hours out anyway.
