Massage Meme


Everyone could use a good massage now and again right? Well it's time to let you characters lay back and relax-- or maybe treat someone else to a little skin therapy. ;) Break out the oils and scented candles, it's time for a good rub down.

How to play:
❧ POST with your character (list their name & canon in the subject if you please)
❧ Others can reply giving the massage or recieving it.
❧ Use RNG to pick from the numbers below, or pick your numbers, or make something up!
❧ Have fun!

Type

001. Shoulder and Neck - the basic of the basic. Perhaps a strained shoulder, been sitting too long at their desk. Or maybe something even more strenuous. However, it's time to work out all those accumulated kinks.

002. Foot - It's time to give those yapping dogs a rest and treat them to a little TLC.

003. Hand - Hey don't forget about the hands, overworked constantly they could use a bit of a break.

004. Arm - Time to loosen up a bit and rub out those arm muscles.

005. Leg - Perhaps you're looking for something a bit more specific and intimate. Calve massage? Thigh? It's your choice.

006. Back - Considered a coup de grace of massage, the back massage, when done right, can bring extreme relief to those who receive it.

007. Scalp - Wanna feel those tingles down your spine? Maybe a little oil to help add health to the hair?

008. Full Body - Maybe it’s not just a specific area you want treated, but your entire body.

009. Wild Card - Anyway you want it. Mix and match, maybe I forgot something you want.


Relationship

001. Friend - getting a massage from a friend can be a wonderful bonding experience. And exacerbate already existing tensions ;D

002. Lover - Whether a show of care or a prelude to something more intimate, a massage from a lover is a very welcome thing.

003. Service - Hey some of us aren't so lucky. We gotta pay for this service.

004. Wild card - Whatever you want. However you want.

It's... not just that. My whole body is like that.

[Nano reaches up to the elbow joint on her opposite arm, popping it open to reveal a rollcake.]

I'm... not human.

[There are already tears welling up in her eyes again.]

I talk like one and walk like one and act like one and my body can even feel things like one... but I'm still only a robot.

[kida]

[A rollcake... Really?! No, Masaomi, don't think about eating her. It. Whatever.]

A robot...

[OK. That idea takes a little getting used to. You know... it's not that he minds, but he doesn't know of any robot that's even remotely this lifelike. He basically felt her up and wasn't able to tell the difference! That's just a little scary. But mostly -...]

Ah, now, that's kind of embarrassing... [He scratches his head, looking her up and down a bit.] I consider myself an expert on girls, you know, and -... Well, I can honestly say I can't tell the difference. [It's a blow to his pride as a red-blooded male, man.]

[all_wound_up]

But now that you know...

[Nano finally manages to look him in the eye, tears full-on leaking out now. She's completely distraught.]

...you look at me differently, don't you? It's weird, seeing all this. That's how everyone would look at me if they knew. All I ever wanted was to just be normal!

[kida]

Now, now... Please don't cry.

[Which is as much for his own peace of mind as because he feels sorry for her, really. Masaomi likes everyone to be happy - so he'll just smile and hope she'll eventually follow suit. It's surprising how often that works for him! Pretend to be happy, and everyone around you will be happy - and then you can be truly happy, yourself. It's like a vicious cycle, except good.

Fishes circle? Nah... Delicious circle! That's totally it! Anyway...]

Yeah, it's a little weird [or a lot weird], but... it could've been worse! Like... you could have had a huge mole right between your eyes!

[And he indicates the spot on his own face (because that description was totally obscure...), looking cross-eyed at his own finger as he does.

He is genuinely a bit weirded out, but he's good at pretending he isn't - and he's trying to convince himself as much as her.]

[all_wound_up]

[Nano peers back at Masaomi curiously, still sniffling but actually giggling a little at the silly joke. Living with an eight year old girl and no one else for most of your life means you tend to be genuinely entertained by pretty small and stupid things. It's a real smile, and Nano tries to wipe her eyes and calm down, now realizing that she's spilled all of this into the lap of a total stranger.]

Do you think you could ever want to be friends with someone like me, even as different as I am? Do... do you think other people would want to, if they knew?

[kida]

[Result! Thank God she's giggling. It's kind of hard to be happy around crying people. Not that Masaomi is a saint; it really is partly selfish.]

Sure! There's no bad kind of friend. [Which is a total lie, but since he can think of only one exception - one person, even, rather than a type of friend - it's a forgivable lie.] I don't think there's any reason for people to mind, but... if you're going to be shooting toes at people, it's understandable if they're a little shocked.

[Which, in turn, will be more than enough to scare most people off forever. But he decides it's probably best not to point that out. She probably has plenty of experience with being avoided, anyway...]

[all_wound_up]

[She already knows it, even though it's not something she likes to admit. That's why she tries so hard to hide what she is - the fear of being misunderstood and rejected. But at least she has one person here in front of her who didn't run away, and that's a start.]

Thank you.

[Nano's starting to calm down now, and with that calmness comes a thankful, almost serene smile spreading across her face. She lets out another long sigh of relief, clasping her hand over her chest and closing her eyes for a moment to just enjoy the feeling.]

Oh, um...

[When she opens them again, she glances at Masaomi's hand, blushing awkwardly.]

...Can I have my toe back?

[kida]

No reason to thank me!

[Well, she definitely ran into the right person! Masaomi may be only human, but he's just about as easy-going as people get. He's going to have to do some serious philosophizing about whether dating a robot would count as dating a girl (probably outcome: it does if the robot is cute!), but that's about it.

His life. It's way simple - because he likes to keep it that way.]

Oh! Right. [With a somewhat embarrassed grin, he quickly hands her the toe back.] I mean it, yanno... There's worse things to be than being a robot. You're more human than some people I know. [Like that evil bastard of an information broker.]

It was... nice to meet you. [And he smiles - because she really is cute.]

[all_wound_up]

[Nano smiles even wider at that, gingerly taking the toe in her hand and gently fastening it back onto her foot. Once it's reattached, it's remarkable how much it like a real human foot - the Professor did a wonderful job blending the seams.]

Do you really mean it? Thank you so much!

[Even though she already thanked him before. But this is a pretty big deal for Nano, so she'll thank him a thousand more times if he lets her. The things Masaomi is saying are probably the best compliments and encouragement she could ever possibly receive.]

It was nice meeting you too.

[And then she realizes they haven't even exchanged names yet. Folding her hands on her lap, she bows her head briefly as she makes introductions.]

Oh... my name is Nano. Nano Shinonome.

[kida]

[Yeah, Masaomi will do a bit of staring at the reattaching. It's like watching milk dissolve in tea. Or like having ice cream come out of a machine at the press of a button.

No wait - that's totally different... but just as impressive!

He's already told her she doesn't need to thank him, but he's happy enough to let her if she really wants to. He does rather like being liked.]

Pleasure to meet you, Nano-chan! I'm Masaomi Kida.

Sooo... what does a robot do all day, except for getting massages? [Because that's a regular thing for her, he's decided. Probably wishful thinking on his part.] Do you go to school?

[all_wound_up]

[Nano glances down at her foot, rolling her ankle back and forth a bit and flexing her toes once or twice before nodding with a smile. Everything seems to be in order down there.]

It's nice to meet you too, Kida-san.

[Have another polite head bow, hands clasped.]

Oh, I don't do this every day... I could never afford it. But yes, I'm in my first year of high school.

[kida]

[He's not much into bowing - except when he's really serious or really exaggerating - so he'll just give her a bright smile in return.]

Ah, such a pity... Well, I'm here every weekend, if you do ever wanna drop in again.

[First year of high school?] Me too! [Clearly this is meant to be! ... Except that she's a robot. OH WELL! No shame in expanding his horizons, and such.]

What school do you go to? Not Raira... I'm sure I would have noticed you! [You know. Because then he would have fallen in love at first sight with 38 girls during the opening ceremony, rather than only 37. He's got an eye for these things!]

[all_wound_up]

I don't get extra money very often, but I may stop by just to say hello if that's all right with you.

[If he wants to do any more massages on this one, they're probably going to have to be for free. She doesn't have a job of her own, and the money she gets to take care of the Professor isn't all that much.]

My school is on the other side of the city.

[And the name is never given in canon, so derp derp. Nichijou is frustrating that way sometimes.]

[kida]

I'd like that!

[He won't mind massaging for free. Most likely, though, he'll just sit and talk - until his boss or someone comes in, and he has to pretend to be working hard.

Yeah, he really is going to get fired soon...]

Yanno, if you come around closing time, we could do something fun after I get off!

[all_wound_up]

When are you off...? Most days I have to get home right away so I can get the Professor's dinner started.

[Though it does sound fun...]

[kida]

Seven, usually. I'm sure the professor could manage without you once in a while... [Said in his best quasi-seductive voice... maybe pleading just a little bit.

Of course, they could always meet up after school, but then there's other friends and homework to consider. The weekends, after work, Masaomi usually has nothing else to do whatsoever.]

[all_wound_up]

She can't cook anything herself, though. Eight year olds shouldn't be using the stove.

[Oh yeah, did she mention she was built by an eight year old? Because yeah.]

But I might be able to ask Yukko to keep her company until I get home some nights. And Sakamoto usually manages to keep her out of trouble...

[kida]

... An eight year old professor?

[OK, no big deal. The most sophisticated robot the world has ever seen, just about indistinguishable from a real person, built by an eight year old girl. Most normal thing in the world.

Or not.]

Seriously?!

[all_wound_up]

[Nano's response is simply to blink in apparent confusion. After all, she's only been operational for a year, and she doesn't have any other professors to compare her against.]

Yes, that's right.

[kida]

... Are you sure she's really a professor? I mean, they're usually not eight so much as eighty, with long beards and bad glasses and walking sticks.

[He'll just be mimicking a stereotypical geriatric professor, here.]

[all_wound_up]

No, she definitely is. She's always inventing things around the house. Most of them aren't very useful, but she is still a child, after all.

[Nano laughs fondly, blushing again just a little as she indicates the area where her arm popped open with the rollcake earlier.]

That's why I have so many weird attachments.

[kida]

Guess that does explain it...

[Still doesn't explain how a kid gets to be a professor, but hey, he can swing with it.]

That's impressive, though! An eight year old built you? Wow...

[all_wound_up]

[Plenty of things don't make sense in Nano's canon. It's kind of glorious that way.]

She's very talented and smart for her age! Sometimes a little too smart.

[kida]

[Sounds good. Will definitely check it out!]

Too smart? Like, in a poindexter-y way? [And here he goes again, acting the part... and still acting like the old, male stereotype of professor.] Here, now, Nano-chan... Everyone knows that the square root of 90816148 is 392461.8267154189!

[all_wound_up]

No... in a more mischievous sort of way. I think she knows just how smart she is.

[Nano laughs a little, but seems genuinely stumped once he gets to the math problem.]

I-it is...?

[She's got a built-in calculator for things like that, but refuses to use it.]
