AMAHIKO TENDOU. ✨ CHARISMA HOUSE. ✨ SPRING.

[wsa]

OPEN. ✨

[wsa]

01. ) FREE WSA TO GOOD HOME

//////////////////////////////// SOLARPEAK ////

( Well this won't do.

How is it that Amahiko Tendou, the World Sexy Ambassador himself, has ended up in a situation where he's touch-starved? His head hurts; is it the scorching weather, or is it simply how he feels under the lack of touch for going on a week?

After some kids decide to bury him in sand ... he finds himself stuck and stiff.

Stuck and stiff and abandoned. )

02. ) WALK, WALK

//////////////////////////////// NIGHTWAKE ////

( In some absurd-looking boutique, Amahiko is all dramatics. Pointing at someone clear across the store, practically bellowing: )

You there! The gorgeous one trying on shoes! Those simply won't do.

( And then he's walking closer ... )

Would you allow me to assist?

[abnormalizes]

Huh.

[Evangeline's not used to beaches as a place where people hang out and relax - she made her first sandcastle in Ellipsa this year. So when she sees someone being buried in sand, she doesn't know what to make of it.

...It's Ellipsa, so this probably isn't an overly elaborate method of leaving someone to die.]

Is that fun?

[wsa]

It ... it was.

( This is a tiny bit embarrassing! Especially in front of someone he recognizes a bit. He goes to say something else, but he's cut off mid, "can you help" since his jaw decides to lock up right at that moment as well. )

[abnormalizes]

Not anymore, huh. Well, let's get you out of there.

[She goes to start digging him out of the sand by hand. Naturally, that means her hand will bump his neck a couple times just by accident. It counts!]

[wsa]

( Naturally, he can't say much in the first few moments she takes to kindly begin to dig him out. But as she works, even the brief contact does the trick. He's able to speak after a little. )

Thank you ... jumping into saving someone like that is ... commendable.

( With his shoulders and then upper arms freed, he can start to move to dislodge the tightly-packed sand enough to free the rest of himself. He ends up laying on the sand face down at the effort it takes. )

I ... appreciate it ... thank you again. I thought I was a goner.

[abnormalizes]

[Once he's free and lying down, she gently pats his shoulder, reassuring.]

It's really nothing worth thanking me for? It's not like it was a big sacrifice on my part or anything.

[Sure, she might have some sand under her nails now, but that's not a huge deal.]

[wsa]

Understood. ... Although I must say, your humility and sense of charity are sexy.

( Some people probably would have walked right past him or, like, put a traffic cone on his head or something. )

I trust that means you're not headed anywhere urgently?

[abnormalizes]

[The compliment earns a laugh - she's no stranger to being told she's attractive, but for those specific things? That's a new one.]

I'm pretty free for a few hours.

[wsa]

Could you lend me your time, miss? I'd love to spend a little while with you.

( His eyes are practically sparkly with the prospect of it, it seems. )

[abnormalizes]

[Two sparkle-eyes-havers, what crimes will they commit.]

I don't mind! But my name's Evangeline, not 'miss'.

[wsa]

Evangeline! Pardon me. With a name so pretty, it'd be a shame not to use it indeed.

( Then he shifts track: )

I was seeing what this district had to offer, but I ended up sidetracked here ... You've been here a while, yes?

[abnormalizes]

Almost two years now! I'd like to think I know my way around the place pretty well.

[Hearing him shout across the store startles Frieda. She looks around, trying to find "the gorgeous one"... but then, the man walks up to her! At his question, she gives him a stupefied blink.]

What? I mean-- thank you, but I'm fine..!

[Granted, the fancy shoes she's trying on do not match her simple outfit consisting of a plain long skirt and white blouse, but they're not meant for everyday wear! She just would have felt self-conscious wearing her one and only designer dress out and about during the daytime!]

[wsa]

( She really is pretty, isn't she? He's shaking his head, holding up a hand. )

Sorry to have startled you, but I wouldn't be doing my job if I were to let this slide ... If you're looking for something that suits you, I can be of assistance.

[urtitan]

Your job? Do you work here?

[He isn't dressed like an employee! Regardless, she explains:]

The shoes are meant to go with my evening dress. Let me show you a photo.

[She goes through her phone until she finds a picture of her in the long, form-fitting black dress. She may not be a fashion expert - far from it -, but she thought the slightly heeled black -lacquered shoes she's trying on would work with it!]

[wsa]

Oh. ... No, I don't. But never mind that.

( He's peering closer at the photo, face lighting up like holiday lights. )

I see! You're even more stunning! I think these would fit nicely with your dress. Forgive my misstep, miss.

[urtitan]

No worries! But you have to tell me what your job is! Are you one of those people who give others make-overs?

[She may be from a society without even electricity, but ever since she arrived here, she'd done a lot of catching-up! She's seen those wardrobe transformation TV shows!]

lmk if i should tone him down haha.

[wsa]

My job? I'm World Sexy Ambassador, of course.

( You know, a completely normal occupation. He doesn't even bother to explain. )

I can't say make overs is something I do, as I believe everyone has inherent sexiness and to give one a new look might dampen that. I do, however, know my way around fashion!

No worries, he's grand!! ♡

[urtitan]

How does one become World Sexy Ambassador?

[She's equally intrigued and amused. Is he pulling her leg? But he seems entirely serious in his enthusiasm! Apparently, he has no objections to her current modest outfit, so she can't help but wonder what his role really entails.]

yayyy ty!

[wsa]

( He takes his job so seriously, even if he's kind of goofy about it inadvertently. With steel in his eyes and a serious tone, he says: )

By endeavoring to bring sexiness to the world, and truly believing in the inherent sexiness of others. The connections we make with one another and the memories we share are precious ... and sexy.

( He seems so proud about his non-answer, too. )

[urtitan]

[Despite his evident pride and decorum, Frieda can't stop her lips from quivering. It takes all her self-control not to break out into laughter.]

Are they, though? All of them? Are you sure? Isn't every connection and memory different?

[She in particular has so many harrowing and painful memories that aren't sexy at all! Congratulations, Amahiko, you may just be the first person to make her laugh in this context.]

[wsa]

All of them? No, certainly not.

( Shuddering to remember the interactions he has with Saru and Tera when they're feeling punchy. Or Fumiya. Pretty much everything with Fumiya. )

There are connections we walk away from and experiences that hurt, but ... as a whole, these make up something very sexy indeed.

( ?????????????? )

[urtitan]

[This man is an absolute curiosity. She gives him an incredulous look.]

I don't think I can agree with you, but if this outlook makes you and others happy, it surely has its merit!

[That's the most positive thing she can say about his philosophy!]

What do you do, then, to proliferate sexiness in Ellipsa? Do you look out for people inadvertently diminishing their sexiness all day so you can move in and prevent such missteps?

[Surely, that can't pay the bills!]
