T (8:30 PM): Dragon now what do you say?
Dragon (8:31 PM): I'm sorry
Fast Sloth (8:33 PM): What the heck?
Rose (8:34 PM): I've gotta hear what led to this
Dragon (8:35 PM): Okay, so the twins, Jaune, and Weiss just came back from their little vacation out of town right? Miltia called me as soon as they landed and said "Hey, I've set up a blind date for you if you're still down for it."
Dragon (8:36 PM): I'd flat forgotten that I'd asked her to go through her actor friends, but when I remembered I was all "Oh, that's right, thank you" and marked the time and date
Book Lover (8:37 PM): I can smell the vengeance coming
Dragon (8:37 PM): I didn't
Ninja (8:38 PM): So what happened?
Dragon (8:39 PM): I get to Junior's Club, only for Miltia to be there at the bar instead of my date. She said that he wound up being late since he's helping Junior with an errand, so she'd drink with me until he showed up. We're just chatting and having fun, I'm two drinks in, and eventually I ask "So what is this dude like?"
Dragon (8:40 PM): She goes into all of these details like how he looked, what his laugh sounded like, what they talked about. Apparently he was booted out of a relationship a month ago and only hit the dating scene again recently.
Fast Sloth (8:41 PM): the suspense!
Dragon (8:41 PM): Then Miltia gets a text on her phone, so she says "He's ready to meet you in one of the backrooms" and pulls me away from the bar. When we get close to the door she's leading me to she asks "Oh, did I ever tell you where he and I met?" I said no, so she opens the door and says "It was right here."
Dragon (8:42 PM): And in that room, front and center, was a black leather casting couch
Rose (8:43 PM): Goddamn
Abs (8:43 PM): I get it, but I don't at the same time
Snowflake (8:44 PM): Quite some time ago, Yang insinuated that Miltia's acting career was based around porn
Abs (8:44 PM): Oh shit
Dragon (8:45 PM:) with the beers in me I didn't understand what I was looking at for a second. When I got it, though, I started freaking the hell out and tried to say that I wasn't interested anymore. Turns out the twins side job as bouncers is no joke, because she just grabs my arm and yanks me inside. "No, no, I insist! You'll love him!"
Dragon (8:46 PM): So I'm nervous as all hell, and suddenly I hear people laughing their asses off. Turns out that the whole scene was being filmed by Weiss, Jaune, and Melanie
Luna (8:47 PM): We have the very moment that Yang "realized" captured perfectly on a slow motion camera.
Snowflake (8:48 PM): Money well spent, I say.
Fast Sloth (8:49 PM): Miss Schnee, did you spend your father's money on a camera?
Snowflake (8:49 PM): And the couch. Melanie helped me pick out the exact one for the prank to have maximum effectiveness.
Chocoholic (8:50 PM): I must say, that seems a bit excessive.
T (8:51 PM): it was justified imo
A (8:51 PM): Nah, we're all square now. Plus, for me, it was worth it just to see the furniture sellers face when I walked up to him and said "I need a couch that looks like people are 5 seconds from banging on it."
Dragon (8:52 PM): moral of the story: the twins forgive, but they don't forget
Luna (8:53 PM): Yep
X
Chocoholic (9:15 AM): Ruby and I would like to formally announce that we're dating :)
Fast Sloth (9:16 AM): Congrats!
Abs (9:16 AM): nice! Also, Book Lover,Icalled it
Book Lover (9:17 AM): Huh, I had that wrong then. Congrats, you two. How long have you been a thing?
Rose (9:18 AM): thanks, all of you. Um, we've been an item for maybe a month now, but we spent all this time feeling each other out. Really getting to know the other
Chocoholic (9:19 AM): Just for that "maybe", I'm gonna quiz you later about our anniversary :P
Rose (9:20 AM): Looking forward to it
Dragon (9:21 AM): congr- wait, a month? How the hell have I not known about this?
Rose (9:22 AM): You didn't? I thought you were just being nice for once and not spoiling the surprise
Dragon (9:23 AM): You know damn well that I could've never kept my mouth shut about this! I mean, I'm happy for both of you, but what and how?!
Chocoholic (9:24 AM): We just started spending a lot of time together, and I began to appreciate the little gem in front of me. It's really that simple.
Abs (9:25 AM): And you, little gem?
Rose (9:26 AM): I'd had a crush on her for a while, but I wasn't gonna be the homewrecker for her feelings at the time. Or be the rebound, we were careful about that.
Luna (9:27 AM): Two of my best friends getting together, I need to buy you drinks!
Snowflake (9:28 AM): Allow me to buy the second round
A (9:29 AM): I'll do third
Chocoholic (9:30 AM): On the one hand I don't want to turn down your hospitality, on the other I don't want to be around a drunk Melanie again
A (9:30 AM): hey
Snowflake (9:31 AM): I'll help keep Melanie from getting out of control this time.
Rose (9:32 AM): thanks bestie!
Dragon (9:33 AM): gasp Did the shoes mean what I think they meant?!
Rose (9:34 AM): well, the first few time we really were out for a run. I've been keeping fit alongside her.
T (9:35 AM): emphasis on first
Dragon (9:36 AM): Oh my god I walked past your room so many times and never questioned it
