[voreaciously]

[finally, someone who is not like to give her shit over her own name.]

I am 80H. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Number Five-san.

[here we go again]

[time5kip]

[ He's still giving her the stink eye, and then checking his chain to see how much time has passed and if he can take his hand away or not. Not yet. ]

Drop the "san". I'm not Japanese and your honorifics mean absolutely nothing to me.

[voreaciously]

[well, isn't he charming.]

Mister Five, then.

[time5kip]

[ Extremely so ]

Maybe I should have begged for it. Missed chance.

[voreaciously]

Indeed.

[sucker. take your polite form of address.]

[time5kip]

[ checking his chain and pulling his hand away as soon as five minutes pass ]

Your turn for a order now.

[voreaciously]

I order you to hold out your hands and permit me to massage them.

[time5kip]

[ And here he thought he could get away with physical contact now. He definitely doesn't look happy about it, but he's still holding his hands out ]

Make it quick.

[voreaciously]

[she starts to massage them and however five feels abotu physical contact, she really seems...to konw what she's doing. She cracks a few knuckles and massages the joint while also paying particular attention to the spaces between his fingers and palms.

He says to hurry and she could go on longer, but she does not seem as though she will stop until she is good and finished.

Luckily it's not a terribly long time.]

There. Thank you.

[time5kip]

[ It's uncomfortable no matter how good she is at that, so he's only getting more aggravated and tense as she goes on. The moment she's done, he pulls his hands away like she's boiling water or something ]

[voreaciously]

Was that so unpleasant?

[time5kip]

Doesn't matter.

[ Definitely just shaking it off like. immediately. And then going to look at his bingo card and frowing ]

I don't have anything else I can conceivably do with you.

[voreaciously]

It matters. My apologies.

What remains for you?

[time5kip]

Like I said. Nothing I can conceivably do with you.

[ Because they're vaguely uncomfortable and he's reached maximum uncomfortableness capacity with Amane. But he is looking at his card again to see if he can at least bend things somewhat ]

I can beg for your love and combine that with a love confession.

[voreaciously]

...As you like.

[well then.]

[time5kip]

[ He proposed it but this is a lot more annoying than he envisioned. Again. There's a sigh, and eventually ]

My undying passion for you cannot be contained any longer. I beg you, please return my feelings of love.

Which are definitely here.

[voreaciously]

[she stands there waiting with perfect patience, and then.]

Alas, Mister five. I cannot. My heart already belongs to another.

[time5kip]

I'll find it in me to accept this one way or another.

[voreaciously]

Good. I would hate for you to on broken-hearted.

[but with respect to the game--]

Was that all you could do with me?

[time5kip]

For the time being. I'm getting a new card as soon as I finish the first one.

[voreaciously]

As you like. Please feel free to find me again if you have need of me.
