[Kodachi's device turns on after it's struck by a hardcover book. There's barely enough light to reveal it's title, 'Nightfall: Forbidden Love'.]

This is.. Unacceptable! How is it fair that such a boorish, unworthy girl is blessed with the honor of being the target of affection of not one but two handsome men? Unforgivable!

[There's the sound of fingers drumming along wood for about fifteen seconds while the lady mumbles to herself, but once it stops it's followed by a gasp of realization. And it isn't the realization a certain Tendo is in that very position] Now where did I put that thing... [The book is raised, revealing a teenage girl with black hair, adorn in a lovely black kimono with red petal-print staring down at the screen. She looks confused that it's on, but it's quickly replaced with a pleasant smile. Instead of agitate, her tone is relaxed, with a 'proper' air.]

Good day to you, male denizens of Mallow Hollow. I am Kodachi Kuno, seventeen years old, from Nerima, Japan. Forgive my intrusion, but I have most wonderful news! As of today positions have opened for tw- no, three additional potential suitors to compete with my first, my darling Ranma Saotome, for my eventual hand in marriage and honor of father to our inevitable, many, many children.

Allow me to share a bit about myself: I have no current occupation, but I do aspire to become a knight of Highcrest. My interests include gymnastics, care taking of adorable animals, cooking, and roses.

[At this point Kodachi raises a white paper fan with a large, red circle in the center, and opposite hand now possesses a microphone for no real reason.]

I am looking for a single male between the ages of sixteen and twenty five. They must possess great courage and strength. They must be handsome, slender, and neat. And, most importantly, they must possess ambitions of grandeur!

Also, while it is true I come from a more.. 'traditional' Japanese background, I am not completely against a non-Japanese suitor.

For those interested in this rare chance, please note that I will be holding the contest in two days at Highcrest's Main Square from noon until three. There will be no dress code, but roses and adequate amounts of presence are mandatory.

[And with that, Kodachi tosses both items carelessly to the side, then presses her fingertips together as she flutters her eyelashes.]

Now then, are there any questions, my dears? <3

-- I beg your pardon?!

[He could not have possibly heard her right.]

[Kodachi raises her hand to her lips and titters.]

Hmn, you're right. Seeing that today is Friday that leaves little to actually choose from..

Very well, choose a day next week. Any day but Sunday will do.

That's not what I meant! Why are you --

[He composes himself and exhales.]

You seem to be under the assumption that I am interested in being one of your suitors. I assure you that is not the case.

[Best to cut this off at the pass.]

[Poker face. Despite her enjoyment of seeing him flustered, she manages to play it with a straight expression. She isn't convinced he's completely composed.]

If that is your deduction, it is no wonder you're still stuck here in Crystalden. How embarrassing; you truly do need a break~.

[WARNING WARNING DIGNITY IN DANGER MUST PRESERVE DIGNITY HUFF HUFF so have Hubert linefacing moar at Kodachi even though inside he's starting to scream a little]

I don't see how that is such a preposterous conclusion to draw, considering the original topic of this conversation.

[Also what is this thing called socializing with girls outside of a controlled courtship situation ~~or being a party member~~. He does not know it.]

[And Kodachi raises a finger to her lips, hushing at him the moment he gets to 'conclusion'.]

Shh, shhhhh. No, Lieutenant, it's all right. There is no shame in being incorrect sometimes, you know?

Now, stop changing the subject and choose a date before I choose one for you.

[Hubert is never incorrect ~~except for the times that he is~~, what are you saying -- ]

I am not changing the subject!

[WARNING WARNING RAGEQUITTING IMMINENT]

Oooh~? Then why am I making the same request for the fourth time?

[Rolls a stem of her black rose between two fingers and tilts her head with an innocent smile.]

Please, Lieutenant, you are acting like a child. It's a little embarrassing~.

[And more buttons keep being pressed! Hubert is itching to continue arguing this point, but to his credit he does recognize that he's coming across as...less than professional, and thus is only proving Kodachi's (flawed, at least in his opinion) assertion. He inhales deeply, considering the options before him in this conversation. After a few moments, he turns his face slightly so that he's glancing at the video feed sidelong as he adjusts his glasses.]

Very well. I shall agree to this...outing of yours, if you are so insistent on it. [It probably would be wise to save face here; even if he himself doesn't think much of Kodachi, he shouldn't burn bridges too quickly. Assistance and insight could come from the strangest of places.] I will let you select a day for me.

[Oh does she enjoy seeing this flustered Hubert; finding it irresistably attractive. Company with him should be quite entertaining- For herself. Though the possibility he might be able to turn the tables on her is also a bit thrilling. That said, once he responds, Kodachi acts as if she weren't expecting it.]

*gasp* Really? Oh how gracious of you, Lieutenant! I will have to take great care in making certain things go well so.. I believe next Wednesday will be enough time to be properly prepared.

[She bows at the screen.]

Then I had best get started as there is much to do! It has been a pleasure speaking with you, Lieutenant~.

(OOC: Would you be interested in making a backdated log for said scenario! If so I suspect Sophie would also be interested in joining; would you be ok with her taking part?)

[Unfortunately, Hubert can't return the sentiment, so he leaves off with a single curt word.]

Indeed.

((OOC: Totally up for both the log and for Sophie joining in! You can contact me @ cinnamonical on Plurk for questions/discussions/whatever.))
