Video Mate Date - Valentine

quadraptor's picture
For the ongoing Video Mate 'roleplay', Quad is going to have his dates on here so he can get to know the does interested in him better. I hope this is okay, sorry if it seems like I'm spamming the site but he's got four dates to do XD!!

While this will be a date with Chickenwhite's Valentine, anyone can stop by and observe, interact, whatever. Just try not to embarrass Quad...he gets a little gassy when he's nervous. Eye

------------------------------

Quad arrived in the afternoon with a few odds and ends for a romantic evening with Valentine. He set some candles on the old bridge and lit them, preparing some gourmet mushrooms and sweet flowers for a dinner. He set everything up, watching as the sunlight was already starting to fade in the afternoon.

Letting out a nervous sigh, he waited for Valentine to arrive.

Nearby but out of sight, Trunks, watched the date. "I've only got about two years left as a ghost...", he thought, "...but maybe I can make them count for someone special."

Soon enough, a graceful

Soon enough, a graceful figure started walking out of the settling shadows, approaching on thin, gazelle-like legs.
Valentine's movements were surprisingly dainty and dance-like for someone already past her expiration-date, but the mere fact of being dead seemed to be only a minor issue for the doe.
As she got within view, she smiled sweetly, a small, nervous giggle caught in the back of her throat.
She'd taken her brother's advice and eaten before arriving, so as to not scare her date away with the nature of her general meals. A big, nice lump of brain might not be the epitome of a romantic dinner, after all.
Blushing slightly, she shook her tail into an upright-position as she gave Quad a smile.
"Hi, Quad!..." She said nervously, resembling a wilted cherry-blossom with her pink blush and shy demeanour.

Quad was a little more

Quad was a little more confident in this date since, for one, he wasn't alone with Trunks watching, but also he had a little experience with Cay Lynn's date. Still, he was nervous as always. He bowed and said, "Hello, Valentine. How are you this afternoon?" He smiled, his cheeks puffing out a little, and he kept his eyes on her's despite the strong urge to stare at her various post mortem features.

Immediately she bowed back,

Immediately she bowed back, as if having forgotten this gesture in between dying and reanimating, her front leg trembling just slightly like the fragile stem of a dandelion. She closed her eyes as her face drew closer to the ground, showing long, soft eyelashes, dark as night and twice as velvet. She must have been a real beauty in life.
"I'm just fine, thank you! Been a little nervous about this whole thing, hoping I wouldn't mess up and - gosh, you look wonderful tonight, don't you? I tried my best to look my best too, but it's a little difficult when you have to keep dirt out of your braiaaand sorry about that... I, eh... I ramble a little when I'm nervous..." She immediately apologised, her cheeks blushing scarlet yet again, the little red lights in her empty eyes flickering about from side to side. She was smiling, but apparently trying her very best to not open her mouth as she did... maybe she was trying to keep the illusion of life still about her, even in un-death.
Clearing her throat after her little ramble, her eyes finally focused on Quad through those gorgeus lashes.
"H-how are you this evening?..."

"Just fine, just fine.", Quad

"Just fine, just fine.", Quad replied, "And don't you worry about being nervous, because I'm the one who is nervous!", he laughed here.

Quad gestured toward the place he had arranged on the bridge, "Please, come sit with me. I'm afraid I wasn't sure what kind of food you liked so I made these hors d'oeuvres for this afternoon...", he spoke. Quad vaguely remembered the video response that Valentine sent him...and then it hit him that she would prefer meat over the mushrooms and flowers he brought. Idiot!, Quad thought to himself, lowering his head noticeably.

But Valentine's face lit up

But Valentine's face lit up in a bright smile at the sight of the food, the flowers and mushrooms being more or less a fancy salad to her, and a welcome little change from her usual diet. Brains can be impossibly fattening if you eat them all the time.
"Oh, I love these kinds!" She cooed as she sniffed the flowers, a small glimmer of sharp, serrated teeth behind her lips as she spoke, though she obviously tried to keep them as hidden as possible... which was difficult with her tendency to blabber like a waterfall.
"You're so thoughtful, Quad~..." She said, sounding flattered and admiring, fluttering her long eyelashes affectionately, inching a little closer... but still keeping her distance. She didn't want to scare him away...

Oh good...then I didn't

Oh good...then I didn't completely mess up., Quad thought to himself. He smiled, and served her some of the gourmet foods. "I really like this variety of mushroom.", he added. He didn't even see that Valentine was moving closer to him, he was actually distracted by something else.

One of the candles nearby blew out. This irritated Quad a little, he kept looking at it from the corner of his eye. Little details like this bugged him, though Valentine probably never saw it or even cared.

And true enough, flighty

And true enough, flighty Valentine didn't notice his distraction as her gaze fell on the mushrooms, ears perking up in curiosity as she sniffed them carefully.
"I've never tasted these before, they smell interesting!~" She said with a smile as she looked back at Quad, cocking her head just slightly as he noticed him looking at the candle.
"Something wrong?" She asked, concern in her voice, though her heart was quivering.
Did I do something wrong? Am I boring him? Is it my brain? Oh, gosh, what if he's a hemophobic?! Oh no, I did something wrong, I know I did! Argh, I should have picked those last maggots out of my ribs, he probably saw one of them... Damn things, why're they so difficult to reach?... She thought and a thousand more thoughts just like them, making her cherry-and-moss smile fade just slightly.

((I apologize in advance for

((I apologize in advance for this :3))

Quad double-taked for a moment, his eyes moving from the unlit candle to Valentine's concerned face. "Oh no, no...", he lied, but then confessed, "Well, this candle over here went out and I was afraid it would affect the mood of our date...but I guess that is a little silly."

He stood here, trying to think of a way to re-light the candle so he wouldn't be distracted again. Normally they lit on their own, but this one was more stubborn. Quad turned away from the candle, positioning behind one of the lit candles. "You may want to cover your eyes, Valentine.", Quad said. As he said this, he let out a fart, igniting from the lit candle and rushing at the unlit one, lighting it. The flame was fast and quick, illuminating the area and leaving a slight smell in the air.

Quad turned, happy to see the candle lit, and returned to sit with Valentine. "So uhh...good mushrooms, huh?", he asked, trying to downplay the explosive fart that just happened.

But it was too late,

But it was too late, Valentine was staring.
Her big, black eyes wider than usual, ears straight in the air... and then she laughed.
"You are so funny!" She giggled, seemingly not bothered by the smell at all, though that was only to be expected, really, with her decaying and all...
"-And such a genius too!~" She laughed still, giving Quad's cheek a small, affectionate nudge, the sweet smile back on her lips. Apparently, she wasn't really lady-like in that sense... Then again, that might be for the better.
Calming down from her laughing-fit, she smiled widely, for once forgetting to close her lips, showing those sharp, serrated teeth yet again, which gave her a strangely charming look, actually...
"The mushrooms are delicious~" She said, heart fluttering like a butterfly.

He blushed a little,

He blushed a little, "Heh...well. Spur of the moment idea. At least the candle is lit now, huh?"

Quad never even noticed her teeth anyway. If he would have known she was nervous about him being worried about them, he would have told her his thoughts. He was used to getting bitten by Iugulare's sharp fangs often so it didn't bother him whatsoever.

"Mhmm, I really like this variety of mushroom. It's called shiitake, and it's grown in the East.", Quad said. "It's a nice change from the tree mushrooms we have here." He nodded his head happily.
