[Delta44]

Man, Yutaro's gonna need to make a move at work tonight if he wants to stay aboard the S. S. Ryoki.

@Takashi

Best way to a woman's heart confirmed:

Manga.

Though that may be landing poor Zac in the friend zone XD only time will tell, though.

XD don't worry, she should be all set to go for tonight's shift, so there'll be teasing galore! Hurray! I also need to find a suitable bunny suit pic...

@IrishAngelQueen

...or we might be able to talk @Takashi into giving one of his famous recounts, if we ask him realllllly nicely. :P

@Narcotic Dollie

It seems my powers are needed again. It's been a longer time gap so let me know if I miss anything.

It is a rainy Sunday, and the day begins with Nori finding the ominous word "Tomorrow" written in blood on her door. The police laugh it off, but she calls the PI Oliver, and he warns her about The Weatherman, offering to stay at her place to do a stakeout while suggesting she go somewhere else for the night. Meanwhile, Kyle gets a call from his childhood friend Amity, who, unbeknownst to him, is in Shine city. Shenanigans ensue, and Amity ultimately sneaks into Kyle's apartment to surprise him, which leads to more Shenanigans. Amity gets a message from Iruka, who found Kyle's lost phone, and they all agree to meet up at the Shining Kettle to retrieve it. On the way there, Amity accidentally splashes Nick in a puddle with her car. Taking pity, she offers him a ride, but this leads to the fated encounter between Kyle and Nick (the man that Nori stood up on their first date). When Nick finds out that Kyle is dating Nori, he sucker punches him right in the face, and an epic brawl ensues outside of the flower shop. Nori comes out and hoses the two of them down to stop the fight, and the chastises them both for being bakka. Kyle tries to make amends with Nick, and then goes inside to make up with Nori. She tells Kyle about the weatherman, and he offers to let her spend the night at his place... with completely chaste intentions of course. Beaten up and heartbroken, Nick wanders into the arcade and starts a game with Kaga. However, he also receives a text from Shizuka about their date. While she is sweet and consoling, Nick is ultimately friendzoned.

In other news, Ryoki is asked out on a "date" with her brother, which is just a melodramatic thing he does when he wants to hang. She bumps into Iruka and the two have a "moment." However, then she gets a message from her beloved Kaori saying that she is going to be away for a while because her brother got into an accident (The character needed to be written out because LovelyAnastasia needed to drop out). This sends her into a fit of depression as she broods about a "curse" that has been following her where misfortune seems to befall everyone she gets close to. Shou encounters her in the park, cheers her up, and gets her number. Afterwards, Zac encounters her in the park, cheers her up some more, and the two go on a date to a manga cafe.

Meanwhile, at the shining kettle. Amity had ditched Kyle and Nick while they were smashing each other's faces in and went to the Shining Kettle to meet with Iruka. There, she meets Copen, who offers to buy her something, so of course Amity orders an $80 cup of coffee. The two chat and seem to be into each other. Also at the Shining Kettle, Alban comes in with his adorable daughter Lucille. While Zac is impressing Lucille with some magic, Alban chats with Shizuka. However, Lucille bangs her head, and Shizuka comes to her rescue, proving to be very good with children. Alban then asks Shizuka out to dinner(?) as a way of saying thanks, and Shizuka agrees, though she feels bad about breaking Nick's heart.

Finally, Yutaro bumps into Tomoko in the street, and the two go on a date at the arcade. By far the simplest plot thread right now.

@Delta44

Oh, you'd be surprised what magic Zac can make from nothing :3

[Takashi]

@Daxam But can he make Ryoki's clothes disappear?

@Delta44 I'll have to polish my silver tongue then. But I thought of a secret weapon just in case. Hehehe.....

[LovelyComplex]

@Takashi you're really good at summarizing xD

[Daxam]

@Daxam But can he make Ryoki's clothes disappear?

@Takashi

We'll just have to see, now, won't we?

[Delta44]

@Daxam But can he make Ryoki's clothes disappear?

@Takashi

Pfft! You don't even need a magician to do that! ;) Just a little bit of vodka.

[Verdaux]

Aw...and I was hoping for Ryoki and Shou to head to Little Snowflake!

[Narcotic Dollie]

Thanks @Takashi, you're the best at summaries! Also, this made me laugh so hard.

...She tells Kyle about the weatherman, and he offers to let her spend the night at his place... with completely chaste intentions of course.

[LovelyComplex]

Question: Would the arcade have mini-golf, laser tag, and go karts? I know entertainment centers usually have that so I'm just looking at options for date places xDD.

Also what would be the closest place to a concert venue, Club Lush????

I know at Casinos they have cabarets where you eat, dine, watch music -- which is where my girl will be performing tonight but that's not the type of venue she's use to. She is a pop artist after all. Her music is just going to be modified a little to fit her mother's tone of music for tonight.

[Delta44]

@Verdaux So was I, but the collab post must be made! And hey, we get a manga cafe out of it XD

[LovelyComplex]

@Delta44 I'm all for cute girls in maid outfits. Which reminds me of my LA anime convention experience. Three cute Asians shot my heart with their cuteness and then said no to pictures xDD I was so sad but I guess the maid cafes are really strict with pictures o.o like you have to pay lots of money to get in cafe just to take pics of them xD and I only was walking past them. I'm too broke to spend all the moneys on cuteness.

[Daxam]

Oh, before I forget: Starting next Friday, I'm gonna have to disappear for awhile, so Zac's gonna leave to visit family or something. I'm gonna be moving, then my dad and I are gonna build my room in the basement, so I don't know when I'm gonna be able to return long enough to post. However, once I'm moved and the Internet's up, I can at least check in on the laptop :)

O_o Ok, the curse of Ryoki is getting WAY too real.

I won't be gone long. Though, if it'll help Zac get with Ryoki...:3c

@Daxam

Zac and Yutaro may have to settle this with a very serious..... CHILDREN'S CARD GAME!

[Viciousmarrow]

@Takashi This match will come down to who can believe in the heart of the cards more.

@Takashi

Would you really wanna do something like that with someone who can make cards appear and disappear at will? XD

[BeastofDestiny]

@Daxam is right, Zac does have magic, he wouldn't even need to duel, he'd just send yutaro to the shadow realm and be done with it XD

@Takashi
