[FFRP] The RP Nexus

Naru shakes her head. "Not gonna cut it. A relationship requires giving and taking from both sides. If you're in love, it even requires sacrifices. I saw those sandals he gave you. They're really nice. You don't have to buy him something, but you should do something to let him know how much you like him. And you can't just say "Thank you", or "I like you." You have to back it up with your actions." Naru folds her arms and nods sagely.

Claire stands up. "Oh, don't be silly. I think you're a very nice person. You don't deserve something like that." She walks over to Alex and shakes her. "You okay?"

[Ookalf]

Naru shakes her head. "Not gonna cut it. A relationship requires giving and taking from both sides. If you're in love, it even requires sacrifices. I saw those sandals he gave you. They're really nice. You don't have to buy him something, but you should do something to let him know how much you like him. And you can't just say "Thank you", or "I like you."

I... I see. But what can I do?

[muffinstud]

"Pfft. I don't know. You're the one that spends all your time with the guy. There's got to be something that he'd like that you can do for him or give him." Naru points with her finger, her arms still folded. "Here, tell me a couple things you think he likes."

[Ookalf]

Things he likes...

[Kumi-chan]

Alex looks at all of them. She looks at Claire holding Luna tightly. "Mom... You... You think it's so bad missing your mom!" The images around her all stop moving. "I lost my mom when I was a young boy! I can't... I can barely remember her face. My mom was a great women..."

[Marky]

((Sorry Mark...or Mary, I thought you would just follow Nora...))

Upon arriving at the entrance to the changing rooms, Harriet is stopped by the same teacher that Nora talked to. "Why are you running in the halls young lady?" She asks.

((Aye. I don't know why I didn't to tell you the truth. Guess I was just waiting for someone to drag me along back into this. Not sure. This week's messed up my brain, horribly. Was more like a zombie Monday and Tuesday, and not much better today...))

"I-I was running late to class and I was trying to hurry so I wouldn't be even more late."

[muffinstud]

Naru raises an eyebrow. "You do know of at least one thing he likes, don't you? Sports, food, places...anything?"

Claire starts tearing up again. "I'm so sorry! I didn't know..." She wraps Alex in a hug. "But think about this: Now you can be just like your mother. You can carry on for her."

[Nosnits]

"You expect me to believe that?" The teacher asks sternly. "Before the first bell has even rung yet. Never mind. Did you bring your gym strip today?"


Zoey stands and watches Claire try to comfert Alex. Whether it would work or not is another story.

[Ookalf]

Naru raises an eyebrow. "You do know of at least one thing he likes, don't you? Sports, food, places...anything?"

We have not discussed it.

[Kumi-chan]

Luna mews to Alex. "I... I don't think I can..." Alex frowns and hugs Claire. "I just don't think I could live up to what she was... all I know really about her is that she liked cabbits... my drawings of them brought her happiness... and she... was always physically weak..."

[muffinstud]

Naru sighs. "Okay. Let me throw out some suggestions then. You could cook a meal for him. You could get him a nice shirt. If you can paint or make sculptures, give him one. You could plan a romantic date. Give him a lock of your hair." She shrugs. "The more meaning you can put into the gesture, the more you're saying you like him."

"Do you think such a wonderful person would want you to lay about and make excuses? You said she loves you, and if she does then she wants you to be happy." Claire rubs her back in a sisterly kind of way. "She'll want you to be like her, and if she really loves you, she'll find ways to help you be like her."

[Ookalf]

Naru sighs. "Okay. Let me throw out some suggestions then. You could cook a meal for him. You could get him a nice shirt. If you can paint or make sculptures, give him one. You could plan a romantic date. Give him a lock of your hair." She shrugs. "The more meaning you can put into the gesture, the more you're saying you like him."

I see...

[Marky]

Harriette pauses, having already thinking she was actually running late, not having a watch and not paying attention to the time.

"I...umm..." Harriette quickly checks her bag, and notices its not there. "I seemed to have misplaced it..."

[muffinstud]

"Of course, this is all supposing that you like him in the first place." Naru leans towards Sakura. "You...do like him, don't you? In a "I want him to be my boyfriend" kind of way?"

[Kumi-chan]

"I... I don't know. She died because of me... Because she had to have a child" Alex curls up holding Luna crying. "The doctors even said before I was born she could have lived years longer then she did... It's all my fault..."
