"I promised a friend of mine I'd help him find a date to the dance this weekend, but he's too shy to ask anyone himself.  So are there any nice guys in town who'd be willing to go with him?  Sorry, ladies, but girls need not apply for this one."

[Ven's too nice. He seriously is. Kay just might need to explain this one to him. Granted, he'd still go with a guy, but....]

I don't have anyone to go with. Who needs someone to go with him?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

You're cool with it being a guy, right?

[windfallstodark.livejournal.com]

What's so bad about it being a guy? But, yeah, I'm fine with it.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Just making sure! But wow, I really didn't think I would find someone so fast!

[windfallstodark.livejournal.com]

It's no fun going alone! And it's nice to meet new people, anyway!

...Ah, right, I'm Ventus! Call me Ven!

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you, Ven! My friend's name is Calleo Crowe. You should give him a call, maybe meet up and hang out before the dance. Y'know, get to know each other! It'll be a lot more fun that way."

[Oh god, they both have completely the wrong idea about what's going on here.]

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

Y'mean like as a friend?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe at first, but I'm kinda hoping I can find him a boyfriend after a while.

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

Like a friend who's a boy?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Um... not exactly, no.

...oh, you mean like...

Oh.

A date to the dance . . . ? Why is everyone so excited about it?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

It's being organized by the students and not the town, so I think people are happy that there's finally an event to go to where we probably won't all be killed or maimed.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Oh. I thought it was just something the school was doing. But if drones show up, we still might be in danger, right?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but I'm not really worried about it.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I guess you're right. . . . Well. Maybe I'll go, then. Last time, I kind of just ate some food and left.

This dance thing again. [ w-what kind of not!sis.. ]

If he's too shy to ask, wouldn't he rather someone not ask for him in.. this manner?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[crytodaddy.livejournal.com]

Like an ad, I guess.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Oh.

I didn't really mean for it to come off that way...

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

... You realize that a homosexual couple will be droned if seen in public, yes?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

...Really?

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Of course!

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I, uh... didn't know that.

America in the 1950's was the furthest thing from open-minded.
