[Helix is quiet and attentive as Mizuki speaks, shifting a bit to settle in and get comfortable. He seems rather entertained by the exchange, politely waiting his turn to interject.]
Mm, I suppose I wouldn't mind playing the part of the mysterious otome romance option if it means you play the part of the protagonist. [uh oh.] If you have any suggestions for me, however, I'm all ears.
It's a good thing that they're all wearing masks right about now. Mizuki can't help but tug a little on his own to hide the sudden fluster. Oh, he's said something strange, hasn't he? He didn't mean to. It's his video game hyperfixation, send help. ]
Uh- ehe… [ He clears his throat. ] W-well, for these sorts of things, there's usually some silly tropes. Like… dancing with someone you hate out of politeness, but you try to step on their shoes the whole time. Or clumsy character who hasn't danced before is coerced to dancing with someone who knows all the dances. Or the host gives this big speech and suddenly things turn for the worse, like there's poison gas or something!!!
…
Not that I'm recommending we get poison gas, I'm just not used to these sorts of parties so I'm just kinda going off what I read in books and stuff.
[A chuckle is tucked away into the confines of gloved fingertips.] Poison gas certainly would put a damper on the festivities, wouldn't it? We should definitely table that one for now; we can circle back to revisit it if it turns out the party drags too much without a bit of playful murder between friends.
[He hooks a thumb beneath his chin, contemplative as he chews lightly on the leather-clad second knuckle of his index finger.]
How about the plot-hook where two individuals just so happen to be in the vicinity of each other when a third party stumbles upon them, mistaking an innocent exchange for a romantic rendezvous?
Ehehe~! [ That was definitely a joke, and Mizuki is not going to question it at all. His new friend is so funny??? Why wasn’t he around earlier! They could’ve been riding the rides together and such way sooner!! ]
Ohhh~! Okay!! Oh, but I don’t really see anyone having conversations besides…?? [ He gestures around to the Masks. ] Unless busting in on their conversations works just as well?
