[mynameisallen]

[Allen had just finished training for the day. It wasn't like his usual workout as he was slowly working his way back to to that. He was still honestly tired after what happened even if he didn't do an awful lot beyond talking.

But to him talking can be just as exhausting and yet here he was with a smile on his face.]

Hello... So I don't normally talk on here much but I'm trying this new thing called... being open and it's been going well. Sort of.

[He has his moments.]

So I decided why don't we all try giving a fact or two about ourselves. They don't have to be super serious or anything. Just anything will do and we can talk.

I will go first with some facts:

One: Back home we had a situation where people became zombie like and so to deal with something... I hit on a male robot to get him to do it. It worked.
Two: I have a bone to pick with Cupid. They're an asshole and I don't like them.
Three: I've cheated pirates out of money. Like a lot of money.
And finally Four: I once stabbed myself with my own sword. I thought it wouldn't do anything... I was very very wrong.

[All rather odd facts about himself that he was comfortable with sharing. The smile till on his face.]

So whose going to be next if anyone.

I'm surprised it work. Allen, you've gotta show us some of your flirting moves! Orisa, you ever been swept off your feet?

[ Or should he be the flirting-target here. ]

[stillnewatthis]

In times of need, I am capable of deploying power reserves to augment my servomotors and electromagnetic joints. Thanks to this additional power and my quadruped construction, I am incapable of being knocked off my feet so long as the reserves last. Although once the reserves are exhausted they must regenerate, thus far I have avoided any opponent exploiting this period of time to succeed.

[Orisa, no]

[blitzcheer]

[ Orisa, no ]

....Allen's got his work cut out for him. [ Nodding, nodding.

(Tidus, no) ]

[stillnewatthis]

Yes, it would be extremely difficult for him to move me off my feet in any way.

[mynameisallen]

[Tidus. See this unamused face. It's there.]

You are correct in that I'm not usually the type, but I am capable of putting it on should it be necessary like it was during that time. That's what happens when your Master is General Cross; a man who somehow charms any woman.

[Does he understand how Cross does it. Not exactly. But he has learned thing he wishes he never learned.]

But are you really that surprised?

[blitzcheer]

Well? You talk about needing to get out and do more, relax, all that! And your boss being a flirt doesn't mean anything about your skills - unless he's been teaching you.

[ Heheheheh. ]

I wanna see what you can do.

[mynameisallen]

Not my boss. He's my Master. The worst Master honestly.

[Who gives their pupil all their debt? The worst. Deep down he cared about him, but still...]

He never actively taught me anything. He just drank alot and built up debt or got money from many woman that he was courting at that time. Sometimes one learns by simply watching. Not that I was trying to learn anything.

[He just sighed slightly.]

But I guess if I have no choice, I will try something.

[blitzcheer]

[ Boss, Master, no difference to Tidus (except he likes one word better than the other). He doesn't interrupt Allen anyway. and once he gets to the good point- ]

I'll be waiting! Show the train your moves, pal!

[mynameisallen]

Y-You want me to hit on you?

[Tidus. Tidus why.]

[blitzcheer]

Maybe I'm already hitting on you by getting you to hit on me. Thought about that?

[ What is this, who knows. Tidus is just going for it. ]

[mynameisallen]

[He has a point. Not that Allen would have ever been able to necessarily tell even though he has seen Cross flirt for about five years. But hey he wants to see, he guess he can at least give him that much, right?

And yes, Allen can bring about bishie sparkles at will. How he is able to, no one knows.]

Oh, Tidus. You are such a kind and caring person, but I still don't understand why you want someone like me to flirt. [He knew this probably still needed some work, but also this is not something he ever really did that often.]

But I guess your one of a few who can somehow understand me.

[blitzcheer]

[ Oh, Tidus is here for this. Why? Who knows, but he's leaning his arm against the wall next to the ICP console, smirking, playing this up. ]

Who doesn't wanna see a guy come out of his shell? See what he can do - and right where everyone can hear us too...

[ To either popcorn or be entirely unamused. Bores. ]

Not gonna get shy on me, are you, Al?

[mynameisallen]

[He had forgotten honestly that others could probably hear and see this. Too late now anyway.]

When am I ever shy? Besides you asked and I showed~

[He smiled slightly, but he did do as he said he would.]

But does it mean I get to give a nickname for you too, since you just called me Al?

[blitzcheer]

Then keep it comin'! [ Tidus lilts, grinning. ] Show me what you've got for me.

You gonna go for a classic - 'Ti'? Or maybe just a nickname between you and me...

[ start up the jazz music, fellas. ]

[mynameisallen]

How long do I need to keep it coming for? I assume when one of us has to depart for one reason or another?

[For Allen he had no idea how long that would be.]

Classic isn't my thing. Creative is more up my alley. [He leaned back and was thinking about it. I might have to think about it and say it when you least expect it.

[blitzcheer]

Well if this is a work-in-progress you wanna keep going, then sure! Let's see how long you can keep it up for.

'Til you really sweep me off my feet.

[mynameisallen]

I think the only way to really sweep you off your feet would be literally and that I can do.

[It was hard to tell how one would in this case. With the robot it was just very easy to do what he did, but with actual people there are various factors in play.]

Unless you enjoy being told all the things that are positive. Because there is a lot.

[blitzcheer]

[ Pfft. ] I think you're gonna need some more practice, for sure. There's still time though! Get a book on flirting and I'll be waiting. How about watching some romance movies?

If promising to kick my feet from under me's all you can do right now - I mean, some people would find that sexy, buuut...

[ That's not really a flirting for all, Allen!! ]

[mynameisallen]

I think I'm fine, honestly. Flirting is not something I plan on doing ever again after this.

[At least with the robot that was easy enough, but it makes him feel slightly uncomfortable and felt very unlike him. SO he plans on only using it sparingly.]
