Subject: Social Skills

Hello (* ^ ω ^)

Much as I would like to begin by formally introducing myself, I am afraid a most pressing matter led me to pick the quill and put ink on this page. I need assistance with a truly difficult task: engaging in social interactions! (;;;*_*)

I cannot say much lest it reveals my identity, but my line of work is a solitary one that has caused me to become somewhat lacking in what people call "social skills." As such, I believe myself to not be what any sane soul would consider "pleasant" company. Someone as gloomy and evil as myself does not fall under the common conception of a "good person," I am afraid. (｡•́︿•̀｡)

Yet, I very much desire to make friend with as many of you as possible. Unfortunately, mine is a position of such importance, it would be unseemly to openly ask for help when I am supposed to figure out such thing on my own. This is the reason behind this anonymous entry. I realize the suspense behind my identity may be somewhat difficult to bear, and I apologize for any anxiety this might cause you. ｡ﾟ･（>﹏<）･ﾟ｡

I humbly ask that you share with me what wisdom you may have regarding social interactions, so that I may improve and become worthy of friendship and companionship. While I believe this to be a tall order, I shall perpetually strive to improve! Any and all advice are very much welcome. (´｡• ω •｡`)

Thank you for your time. (o^▽^o)

Care to tell me what some of them are about?

[Oh, he will definitely regret this. A lot of these are romance and horror aren't they??]

[queenofkur]

Of course! (◕‿◕)

The Goddess and The Knight is a classical love story of a hero saving a goddess and having to overcome all sorts of trial. The story itself is nothing special, but the chemistry between the two characters is what makes this novel shine. I just can't get enough of them.

I won't spoil you the end, but you should be prepared to cry, just thinking about it makes me tear up (｡•́︿•̀｡)

[whatsamada]

From the sound of it, it seems like the Knight would end up dying. Or at least, the Goddess makes some kind of that would allow them to be together.

It sure seems like the kind of story one of my teammates would read.

[queenofkur]

I won't tell you! But you better be ready to feel very emotional afterward (T_T)

If I can find those books, I'll send them to you! Then you can read them and we can discuss our favorite moments together, what do you think? (^_^)

[ That's his life now. ]

[whatsamada]

I think that sounds fine by me. Although, I have to admit, I'm not usually a fan of these kind of books but...

I guess I'll have to try something new here, right?

[queenofkur]

Oh.

No, it's fine.

I wouldn't want to force something unpleasant on you.

[ She knows her tastes in books are peculiar, she can't force everyone into reading gothic horror romances... ]

[whatsamada]

No, I doubt they're unpleasant! After fighting and dealing with Gods of Death, I doubt those kind of stories would make me unhappy!

[queenofkur]

Are you saying that genuinely or just to be pleasant?

[whatsamada]

...

A little bit of both.

[ There are no more replies.

Gg, Ken. You managed to throw a goddess back into depression. ]
