You've got Kise, leave a message!

Great! So why do you wanna know, anyway?

[outplays]

Personal reference, of course.

[ What does it take to get a straight answer out of Akashi Seijuurou? Probably at least one demonic summoning ritual. ]

[redoubles]

[ If nothing else, Kise's curiosity is going to lead him to try everything he can to get that answer — up to and possibly including the summoning ritual. ]

Since when? It's not like you've ever cared about dating before...
Unless there's someone here you're interested in? Who, tell me!

[outplays]

If, theoretically, there were somebody I were interested in, then who do you think that would be?

[ Ah yes, the beginning of "jump through 10 hoops to get a normal people answer". ]

[redoubles]

[ At least Kise is well-trained enough to make it through all those hoops...? ]

Hmmm. Someone you get along with. Maybe Annie?

[outplays]

She would likely find it a waste of time, I think.

[redoubles]

Then who else? It's not Momocchi, and you don't really spend that much time with any other girls...

[outplays]

I'll let you ponder the possibilities on your own time, Ryouta, but it's probably nothing that would strain your imagination.

Besides, I'm not saying that I intend to go on a date myself.

[ This is only about two shades less transparent than "I'm asking for a friend!!" ]

[redoubles]

[ Yeah, Kise's definitely not buying that, Akashi is definitely acting Very Suspicious. ]

At least tell me if it's someone I know! Akashicchi, come ooooon!

[ He needs the deets so he can stalk properly, jeez! ]

[outplays]

You do know him, though I suppose it goes without saying they aren't from back home. Why are you so curious, Ryouta?

[ See now, that was a whole two hints. ]

[redoubles]

[ So generous. ]

Because it's a big deal if you're going on a date! Is it Damon? Are you taking him out somewhere to kill him???

[outplays]

To be entirely honest, I can't be bothered to waste that kind of effort on him.
While irritating, at least he's the kind of irritating I can easily avoid.

[ Not that Akashi would be opposed if Damon just wanted to like, walk off a cliff or something. ]

[redoubles]

Not a grand revenge plan, then?
WAIT DOES THAT MEAN YOU REALLY ARE GOING ON AN ACTUAL DATE?????

[outplays]

Like I said before... I'll leave that up to your imagination, Ryouta. Try not to make up anything too far-fetched, though, because I'm sure it won't be as exciting as you anticipate.

[redoubles]

WAIT AKASHICCHI
WHO IS IT
WHEN ARE YOU GOING
WHERE ARE YOU GOING
?????

[ WHERE ARE THE DEETS?? ]

[outplays]

What would you even do with that information, Ryouta? Follow us around?

[ Haha, nobody would ever do that, right? Hahaha. Yeah... ]

[redoubles]

Of course not! I just wanna know, it's not everyday Akashicchi goes on a date!

[ Ha ha ha, follow his friends around on their dates, Kise would never do that... ]

[outplays]

Pick who, when, or where. I'll tell you one, and leave the rest for you to figure out for yourself.

[redoubles]

[ SUCCESS ]

Who! Tell me who!

[ Once he knows who to stalk keep an eye on, the rest is easy to figure out. ]

[outplays]

Henry.

Good luck with the rest, Ryouta.

[ And that'll be all that Akashi is willing to say on the matter. ]
