Weak

[simplememes]

WEAK FOR [...]


What am I doing? Oh, nothing. Not a single thing. I’m certainly not rifling through a bunch of photos in my pocket-

NO NO WAIT STOP DON’T LOOK. I can't reveal my one weakness.

[1] Someone strapped a sign on your character that tells the whole wide world what they're weak for, what gets them biting their lip, blushing, weak at the knees, all that. Whether it's a specific person's name or particular words/actions (calling her a good girl, touching his neck, kissing their forehead), there's no difference in the end. They're exposed either way.
[2] All that matters is everyone can see it.
[3] That's it.

Do not post any blank top levels.

THIS IS ALL FAKE! SHUT UP!

[vandalizer]

Hah! Not to brag, but I'm pretty good at sniffin' out lies.

[Whenever the plot says he can! And right now, he literally smells nothing particularly bad.]

Anyway, chill out. I've got nothing to gain seeing a few of your secrets out in the open. [A beat.] Asides some street-side amusement that is.

[erbe]

I don't care what you see. You're just a good for nothing old man. It's about everyone else making baseless assumptions.

[vandalizer]

Watch that tone, brat. I'm in the prime of my life! [HMPH!!] Do the opinions of the masses really matter that much to ya?

[erbe]

Of course. I have a family name to uphold, after all. I'm not some vagabond who is free to do whatever she likes.

[vandalizer]

Huh... Y'know, I can respect the vibe with wantin' to protect your family's reputation.

[He runs his own business, so he understands how it feels to protect your image. Even though he's on the back-alley side of things, he can't get clients if he doesn't do a good job with his work.]

If I were you, I'd hire someone to erase the bad rumors about you. Either through blackmailin' people who's been talkin' shit or spreadin' more positive hearsay about the good things you've done.

[erbe]

—Are you already trying to sell yourself to me?

[vandalizer]

Noooopppe.

[His lips do a little pop at the 'e'. And at the same time, he reaches into his coat pocket to take out a box of pocky sticks and puts one into his mouth to nibble on. This would be a lot cooler if this was actually a cigarette and he was smoking.]

I just gave you free advice. If you wanna buy my services, you gotta pay me with something.

...Interested in Honey Castella?

[vandalizer]

Huh? Honey what-now? [There's a curious glint in his eyes.] Now that's a dessert I've never heard of before.

[erbe]

Really? Castella is so old it's classified as wagashi, you know.

[vandalizer]

FOR REAL!? I've had wagashi before, but no one's told me about this sacred artifact! Did I skip a century when I was trainin' in the mountains?!

[erbe]

Castella is a sponge cake modified from the imports that came in from Portugal. That's also how we got Karuta, you know.

[vandalizer]

Heh! Look at you bein' Miss Know-It-All. I'm actually pretty damn impressed that you were hidin' this kind of awesome knowledge. Really proud of ya.

[And he'll be reaching out to give her a headpat. This was his sincere way of showing praise.]

[erbe]

[Tch. The headpat is a bit excessive, isn't it!? She's not a little girl anymore! Though it does remind her of the first and only time her father gave her acknowledgement in the form of physical affection.

Rin lets his hand stay for a moment before swatting it away.]

Hmph.

[vandalizer]

[For him, headpats were the easiest way for him to show his affection for someone! Though he doesn't know how much of an affect it might have on people... That said, Van also occasionally suffers a case of DPD (Dense Protagonist Disorder™).

The hand swat doesn't bother him, but her red face does. He awkwardly rubs the back of his head.]

Uhhh... You feelin' okay there? If you're startin' to get sick, I can fetch ya some medicine. Free of charge, of course.

[erbe]

I'm fine. Just getting some second hand embarrassment from how corny you are.

[vandalizer]

Hah! Corny? Your life would be a helluva lot easier if you just admit I'm cool.
