INTERIOR DECORATING

Characters: Raven, Beatrice and Battler
Location: Raven's room
Time: Day 224, afternoon/evening? (tentatively dated)
Description: Interior decorating :B

[Legacy heroes have "a small room with team-colored walls and a roomy bed, along with a wooden trunk with silver leaf patterns, a very large full-length mirror, and an unopenable window looking out onto a forest. On the room side of the door, there's a clock pattern; changing it to anything but the default (noon) will make the door lead to a blank wall."

After letting them in, Raven sits down on the edge of the bed.]

So, what do we think?

His theory is actually pretty sound... Well? Your rebuttal?

[looking at Battler expectantly]

[itsalluseless]

It's not like a man's worth is measured just in things like physical strength or making sweets, right? It's about attitude, the way you make your way through different kinds of situations!

[telltaleheart]

And I've made it through lots more different kinds of situations than you, wouldn't you say? Besides, it's not just about strength or sweets! It's about masculine appeal and pleasing a lady.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

[this is a great conversation to spectate]

I'm sure he must have a weak point, Battler.

[itsalluseless]

Whose side are you even on...?

Anyway, there's no way you can claim I have any less masculine appeal than you!

[telltaleheart]

Sure I can! You've got appeal, but it's not necessarily the same sort of manly appeal. It's more a force of personality.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

I'm a neutral party. Ah, but isn't he right, shouldn't you just aim for your charisma score?!

[itsalluseless]

So how do you define manly appeal? I can please a lady just fine, if that's what you're talking about. Not all of us need cheesy lines for that.

[telltaleheart]

I don't need cheesy lines either! I've got plenty of skills to please a lady that don't need words at all.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Guhyahahaha, Battler, are you implying you don't use any cheesy lines?!

[itsalluseless]

...I don't as much as this guy does, at least!

[telltaleheart]

I don't think that makes you any manlier.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

I don't think it has any bearing either way.

[itsalluseless]

It definitely doesn't make me any less manly, at least.

[telltaleheart]

So? What other manly ways to please a lady have you got?

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Please inform me of them~

[itsalluseless]

...Didn't think you'd need to ask, Beato. You seemed pretty pleased last night.

[telltaleheart]

...Ah...

[whoops just looks kind of shellshocked]

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...O-Oi!!

[THERE'S. NOT MUCH MORE I CAN DO TO COVER FOR THAT]

[itsalluseless]

...

[okay I shouldn't have said that but. I HAD TO DEFEND MY MANLINESS SOMEHOW]

[telltaleheart]

...Y-You don't mean... er...

[looks at Beatrice]

[boxupallthebutterflies]

--It was not quite so serious as all that!! Honestly...!

[itsalluseless]

Y-yeah, it was just...

[okay no shutting up before I make this worse]

[telltaleheart]

[relaxes slightly but still looks on edge]

S-Sorry... it's not like I don't know you guys are going to do stuff...

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Hmmmm. [...there were extenuating circumstances but I don't want to tell you in front of Battler because they were Battler's circumstances and this truly is the most awkward situation...

DO I APOLOGIZE? BUT I DON'T REALLY NEED TO RIGHT?? but nnnnoooo things are going wrong]

At any rate... Is that sort of quality really relevant to decoration in the first place?
