“O-Oh, no, I’ll be okay!” He smiles and sets down the items, adjusting them so that they both can reach easily. He sits down across from her, and happily notes that she seems to be enjoying herself so far. If there’s only one thing that comes out of this night, he hopes that it’s that she had a good time.

“I hope you don’t mind spaghetti! It was, um. All I could think of that was pretty universally liked.”

She shakes her head and beams at him. “It’s fine! I actually love spaghetti! It smells sooo good!” Paige was indulging on the tantalizing aroma coming from the pot, she couldn’t stop her mouth from watering, it just smelled so GOOD.

“Gosh I didn’t realize how hungry I was…! Let’s eat up!”

six-sided-die: “I-I hope you do like it! And, well, yes, of course! Go right ahead.” He dithers at...

Sun, 16 Sep 2012 21:40:53 -0400

six-sided-die:

“I-I hope you do like it! And, well, yes, of course! Go right ahead.” He dithers at the doorway of the dining room for a moment before turning slightly. “I just need to go get the rest of the food. I’ll be right back!”

He throws her a smile before hurrying into the kitchen, grabbing up a pot and a basket, and going back to the dining room in record time. He doesn’t want to keep her waiting too long, after all. That’d just be rude.

She settled herself down in the seat and looked at the table that Dacian set. Everything was so neatly put and he even added some candles, how romantic. She smiled to herself and hummed while she waited for Dacian to come back.

When he returned she saw that he had his hands full and was worried he would drop something!

“A-Ah! Please be careful! Do you need help with that?”

Sun, 16 Sep 2012 21:24:00 -0400

six-sided-die:

He turns a bit pink himself when she smiles back at him, and nearly forgets to close the door after her. He does, though, and smiles uncertainly at the question.

“Oh, thank you. And, um, yeah! My mother taught me how to cook, and since this is kind of a special occasion…” He trails off, turning redder. He’s never going to admit that he had to call up his mother to ask for help in making the food. Instead, he follows her, shoving his hands in his pockets so he won’t fuss with them while he talks.

“That’s so sweet! I bet everything will taste delicious!” She looks around the living room, everything is so neat and clean and the ambiance is wonderful. “Everything looks great!” She turns to smile at him again and gestures towards the dining room.

“Shall I sit down at the table already or?”

six-sided-die: Oh, gosh. She was here. Die took another moment to straighten everything out one...

Sun, 16 Sep 2012 20:47:31 -0400

six-sided-die:

Oh, gosh. She was here. Die took another moment to straighten everything out one last time before hurrying over, opening the door with as large of asmile as he can manage. He hopes that he remembered to put everything that could be creepy away, beforehand.

“H-Hi Paige! Um, I’m glad you could make it!” He steps away from the door a bit, gesturing inside nervously. “W-Would you come in?”

Wow. Dacian looked so handsome tonight! She blushed when he opened the door for her with that wonderful smile. She couldn’t help but beam back at him.

“Y-yes! Thank you!” She walked inside and instantly she smelled the wonderful aroma of the food. “Wow Dacian, it smells delicious! Did you cook the food all by yourself?”

six-sided-die: Die was fretting almost as much as Paige must be. Everything had to be perfect, or...

Sun, 16 Sep 2012 20:20:04 -0400

six-sided-die:

Die was fretting almost as much as Paige must be. Everything had to be perfect, or at least seem perfect, since this was kind of the most important night of his life. He kept checking and re-checking the food, the clock, and his outfit as he waited for her, looking more and more unsure as the minutes ticked by. He knows he shouldn’t be as nervous as he is, but he can’t help it.

He’s never dated anyone before, and especially not someone like Paige. If he can get through this, he’s almost positive that he might actually have a chance with her.

Paige made it to Dacian’s place a bit out of breath. She checked her watch and saw she was only about 3 minutes late. She sighed in relief and composed herself and nervously knocked on the door.

She really hoped tonight would prove well. She really liked Dacian and she’s never met a man who’s treated her so well yet. She was very anxious for tonight’s events but she told herself as long as she was spending it with him, it wouldn’t be as bad as she was making it out to be.

Paige fiddled with her dress and skirt and hair in front of the mirror, she had her first date with...

Sun, 16 Sep 2012 19:45:12 -0400

Paige fiddled with her dress and skirt and hair in front of the mirror, she had her first date with Dacian tonight and she was incredibly nervous. She kept double checking and triple checking to see if everything was in check. She had already gone through 4 different hairstyles and just settled with a simple half-pony tail.

She sighed after she got rid of the last wrinkle in her skirt and whispered “this is as good as it’s gonna get…” to herself. She had never been on any date before so she was worried she would mess everything up. She checked the clock and noticed she was already running late! She hurried and grabbed her purse, heading out the door in a rush.

six-sided-die: Oh. Well, he feels even better, now that he knows this’ll make her less anxious. He...

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 20:55:46 -0400

six-sided-die:

Oh. Well, he feels even better, now that he knows this’ll make her less anxious. He hums for a moment, considering what time he might actually be ready. He grips his doll a bit tighter, twisting it inside his pocket.

“I’m glad I can help! How about, um, three? I promise I’ll be on time, too.” At least then he’ll have enough time to get out all his nerves before having to actually meet her.

“Sounds good to me!” she gives him another warm smile before slinging her messenger bag over her shoulder again. She paused for a second, thinking something over before quickly moving closer to him and tip-toeing to give him a quick peck on the cheek before turning on her heels and leaving.

“It’s a date then! See you then, Dacian!”

six-sided-die: “Wait, really?” He stares at her, before slowly smiling. Well, while he hadn’t...

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 20:08:00 -0400

six-sided-die:

“Wait, really?” He stares at her, before slowly smiling. Well, while he hadn’t exactly expected that answer, he can’t say he’s not delighted about it. He glances down for a moment, really unable to do anything but be overwhelmingly happy for a moment, before nodding.

“Ah, well, I’m glad! Really glad. So, should I. Come to meet you before the cookout..?”

“Yes, really!” she giggles and finishes putting all the mail into their boxes and turning back to him. “I’m so glad, if I had gone alone I would have been so nervous! Now I don’t feel bad, especially since I’m going with you!” she beamed at him and nodded “sure! We can go up there together. What time should I be expecting you?”

six-sided-die: “I see…Well, I’m going.” He tucks the mail under his arm and shoves his hands into...

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 19:31:11 -0400

six-sided-die:

“I see…Well, I’m going.” He tucks the mail under his arm and shoves his hands into his pockets, looking a bit uncertain now. It would be pretty unlucky if she didn’t end up going, and he just ended up embarrassing himself. It’s just a good thing that he’s managed to convince himself to do this. “And I was wondering if, maybe, you’d like to go with me?”

Paige perked up at the question, a smile spreading across her face. “Oh goodness, I…I’d love to!” She blushed, a little embarrassed that she got so excited but the fact that he asked her to go with him was wonderful!

six-sided-die: “Uh, yeah…Thanks.” He smiles a bit at how happy she looks, since that makes him...

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 19:03:28 -0400

six-sided-die:

“Uh, yeah…Thanks.” He smiles a bit at how happy she looks, since that makes him pretty happy, too. He takes his mail and glances over it briefly, mostly as a way to distract himself. At least there’s nothing that demands his urgent attention in it. When he looks back up at her, he looks far more determined than before.

“Hey, did you hear that the management is having a cookout for everyone?”

She hums and nods at him as she briefly goes back to sorting out the mail and stuffing them into their respective mail boxes. She looks back at Dacian, focusing her attention to him.

“Oh yeah! I think I heard about that, it’s going to be on the roof right?” She remembered hearing about it a few days ago while making her rounds delivering mail. “It sounds nice I think I might go for a bit, I’m still a bit unsure though…” she pouts a little, she wasn’t sure if she’d be totally comfortable going by herself, she only really knows Dacian from the complex, even though this would be a great chance to make friends she’s awfully nervous.

six-sided-die: It’s about the time that the mail comes, and that means that is the time that Die...

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 17:51:47 -0400

six-sided-die:

It’s about the time that the mail comes, and that means that is the time that Die has to take a chance. He walks down the hallway, fiddling with his doll as he goes, and moving a bit faster than normal. If she’s not there, he can at least always act like he’s coming to get his mail.

But she is there, of course, and he just about turns around, but he manages to ignore his frayed nerves and goes up to her, smiling a little. He wonders if she can feel how nervous he is.

“Hey, Paige.”

She looks up when she hears her name called out and sees her new friend from the complex and she smiles brightly at him. She was positively glowing in a good mood. “Hey there Dacian! It’s so nice to see you today!” She was in a great mood and seeing him only brightened it up more. “Come to get your mail?” she hummed happily as she shuffled through the stack to hand him his mail.

Paige was well into her work day, finally making her way down to deliver the mail at the hotel she...

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 17:06:43 -0400

Paige was well into her work day, finally making her way down to deliver the mail at the hotel she was currently staying at. She greeted the bellhops and the front desk with her cheerful smile and warm hello.

She absolutely loved delivering mail in these kinds of places, the staff was usually so nice to her. It’s only been once or twice that she’s ever had a bitter or rude run in with anyone in this job! She pulled out the stack of envelopes and started orginizing them by floor, getting a little absorbed in her work.

six-sided-die: “I’m glad I met you too! You’re probably the best person I could possibly meet...

Sun, 06 May 2012 21:48:10 -0400

six-sided-die:

“I’m glad I met you too! You’re probably the best person I could possibly meet first.” He smiles happily at her and works on his drink for a moment.

“Oh, I’d like that!” He gives her a small smile and then tilts his head a bit and grins widely as he comes upon a sudden idea. “You like to read? O-Oh, well I work in a bookstore! If I-I can’t make it here, you’re always welcome to come there!” He pauses after a moment and blushes a bit, waving a hand and smiling. “You know, only if you want to!”

“Y-you really think so…? I-I don’t, gosh I’m so uninteresting there’s probably tons of more people interesting than me in this building!” She blushed at the compliment, he was so nice…and they had just met! She’s really glad she’s getting to meet him…

She looks over to him at his second comment. “Oh my, do you? I’d love to visit there! It must be so peaceful working there…but it must get lonely sometimes too, doesn’t it?” she pouts a little, at the thought that he might be alone in that place at times. “I’ll definitely visit you lots during my free time! I’m usually done with my shift around 12! I’ll keep you company!”

six-sided-die: “I haven’t been here very long either, only about a month. I’ve been pretty busy at...

Sun, 22 Apr 2012 20:50:52 -0400

six-sided-die:

“I haven’t been here very long either, only about a month. I’ve been pretty busy at my job, so I haven’t gotten a chance to get to know anyone either.” He smiles a bit and sips at his drink, before tilting his head and smiling wider. “Well, except for you, miss, of course.” He glances down, looking a bit embarrassed at that.

He isn’t sure why he’s telling her all of this, and so truthfully, since normally he’d only give the information he was asked about, and then shut up tight. But, with Paige, it feels like he doesn’t really have to worry about much of anything, which is nice.

“Well I’m glad you’ve gotten to know someone at least!” she smiles more at him, she’s happy she’s gotten to know someone else in the complex, she hopes they can become closer! “I know a lot of people around town though, I deliver mail! I would know more people here in the complex but I only deliver to the mailboxes in the lobby…”

She sighed, albeit it would take a very long time to deliver mail to the entire complex, she’d rather get to know people face to face. “Hey, you should come over more often! You’re welcome here whenever you’re free! Just call me first of course! I usually don’t do much but read! I’d like to have some company around.” She blushed, hoping her invitation didn’t seem to straight forward or desperate to him, she’d really enjoy the company…

six-sided-die: “Oh, thank you…” He glances around, feeling more than a bit awkward being here,...

Sun, 15 Apr 2012 14:44:36 -0400

six-sided-die:

“Oh, thank you…” He glances around, feeling more than a bit awkward being here, since he’s not exactly used to being in anyone else’s place as of yet, especially not in a woman’s house. When she gets back and hands him the drink, he smiles gratefully and takes a sip.

“It’s actually very good, Miss.” He worries at his lip for a moment before hitting on a topic to talk about. “So, have you lived here for long?”

“Oh! I’m glad you like it!” She sighs in relief and relaxes on the couch, bringing her legs up and sits cross-legged on the couch. She hums softly, looking around her place before answering his question. “Hmmm…not very long! About 2 or 3 months! I haven’t really gotten to know anyone around the complex besides my neighbor and my roommate! What about you?” she smiles softly at him, hoping he’s feeling a little comfortable.

six-sided-die: “I see, that makes sense. And, you can call me Dacian, if you want, miss.” He looks...

Sun, 08 Apr 2012 19:34:01 -0400

six-sided-die:

“I see, that makes sense. And, you can call me Dacian, if you want, miss.” He looks at his arm for a moment, and smiles up at her. She did a wonderful job, and it’s hardly the poor cat’s fault that it hurt him, it was probably spooked to hell and back. At her question, he smiles wider and nods.

“Well, if I’m not imposing, I wouldn’t mind some lemonade. Getting all scratched up really takes it out of a guy.” He chuckles, only half kidding, and lets himself relax a bit back against the couch.

“Mm. Dacian. That’s a lovely name! It suits you!” She picks up the extra bandages and puts them back in the little first aid kit, and stood up going into the kitchen to fetch Dacian a bit of lemonade.

“Alright! I’ll give you an extra big glass just for you, since you must be all tuckered out!” she gave a light giggle and took out the pitcher of lemonade and served them both, making sure to put a little extra in Dacian’s cup. She walked back over and sat next to him in the couch and handed him the drink. “There, I hope it’s not too sweet!”

six-sided-die: “That’s a pretty name, Miss Middleton. And your place isn’t half as bad as mine...

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 20:03:00 -0400

six-sided-die:

“That’s a pretty name, Miss Middleton. And your place isn’t half as bad as mine tends to be, so I wouldn’t worry about it.” He waved his good hand and smiled brightly at her, wincing only a little at the disinfectant. The cuts must have been a little deeper than he’d thought. He would have to retract his thoughts about liking cats quite as much as he’d thought he did.

“So whose cat was that? Your roommate’s?”

“O-oh thank you, s-sir! A-and I’m sure your place isn’t that bad! Don’t worry about it!” She tried to go as gently as she could, so it wouldn’t hurt the man so much. She was glad he wasn’t too upset about getting hurt, usually people would complain about the cats roaming around.

“Oh! No no, it belongs to the girl who lives next door! But the cats usually wander off to here since they’ve gotten a bit attached to us! I take care of them for a while before returning them! My roommate isn’t too fond about keeping them around…” she chuckled as she placed a couple band-aids on his cut, and sat up. “There, that should do it. Would you like anything to drink? I have tea and some lemonade!”

six-sided-die: Die was so shocked when she dragged him into the apartment he didn’t complain at...

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:37:44 -0400

six-sided-die:

Die was so shocked when she dragged him into the apartment he didn’t complain at all. When she started looking over his cut, he looked over her. Just out of curiosity of course, after all he’d seen her enough around the complex to know what she looked like. But never really up close. At her last words, though, he snaps out of it and feels himself blush a bit.

“Oh..Well, it doesn’t hurt too terribly bad, but that’s very kind of you, anyhow, miss…” He trailed off, frowning a bit. Gosh, here he was in her house (or apartment, anyhow), and he didn’t even know her name! “I-I don’t know your name, miss.”

Paige looked up from the drawer from where she was rummaging for the first aid kit. When she got it, she went back to the man and smiled. “My name is Paige Middleton! And from what I recall I don’t know your name either!” She smiled warmly and opened the kit to get out alcohol wipes to disinfect his cut and a few bandaids.

“I’m sorry about the mess in this place…”

six-sided-die: “Hello, miss, is this cat yours? I’m afraid I almost tripped over it and...

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:54:01 -0400

six-sided-die:

“Hello, miss, is this cat yours? I’m afraid I almost tripped over it and ir led me here-” Die is cut off by the cat squirming madly in his grasp and scratching him in its attempt to escape. He makes a strangled hissing noise as it shoots off into the apartment.He looks at Paige apologetically, even as he clutches his injured arm. Wow, that really, really hurts.

“Oh, heh, I don’t think that cat likes me much…”

Paige let out a small squeak as the cat rushed by her into the house. Oh dear, the cat probably doesn’t like strangers…

She turned back to apologize to the man for the cat’s rudeness, but gasped a little when she saw the scratch on him arm. “Oh no! You’re hurt!” she reached for his good arm and quickly led him into her place, she didn’t want to leave the man standing there injured! And cat scratches do hurt a lot. She led him to her couch where she sat the both of them down and looked at the scratch on his arm.

“Oh no…that looks like it must hurt a lot…I-I’ll get you fixed up, don’t worry!”

Friendly Neighborhood Witchdoctor: Die was trudging back from his job- not that he disliked his time he...:

six-sided-die:

Die was trudging back from his job- not that he disliked his time he spent at the little bookshop, it was jut so exhausting- when he nearly trips over a tiny black blur streaking towards the stairs. It stops, and mewls pitifully up at him, before stalking off in a particularly offended fashion….

Paige was sitting at home reading a book, relaxing after a long day at work. She heard a knock at the door, which waa very odd actually, she wasn’t expecting her roommate to be home for another few hours…

She got up and looked through the peephole, which she had to tip-toe to look through, and she recognized the man face from inside the complex, but never speaking to him or knowing his name. She also noticed he was holding a cat. Oh! It looked like one of Nep’s cats! Perhaps he thought it belonged here? It’s fine, he probably didn’t know anyways. She could always tell him where it actually belonged.

She opened the door and smiled sweetly at the man. “Hello!” she quipped happily, she hoped to not let her shyness hinder her today, she had yet to make any friends in the complex.
