Video 07 → What Do Women Want, Anyway?

[irregular]

[Unfiltered. Let's see how long it takes Ken to realize this.]

[Ken sits on the edge of the fountain in Espoir, frowning into the camera in aggrieved confusion, as if it personally has done him some disservice.]

Uh... this is probably gonna sound dumb but Does anyone know what kind of stuff you get a girl you like that isn't totally stupid or creepy?

[The head and neck of a toy giraffe are just visible in the lower right hand corner of the frame. Ken glances over at it as he speaks, then shoves it quickly down in an attempt to get it out of shot, without any real noticeable success. An awkward look flickers across his face. Great, so he's already seriously regretting deciding to ask this question and he hasn't even finished saying it yet...]

And I'm not gonna do flowers.

[The feed cuts off quickly.]

[OH, AKIHIKO IS AN EXPERT ON THIS SUBJECT. REALLY.]

Girls like two things: really tiny food and animals. If either of these things are smiling, that's usually even better.

[Honestly, it's not his worst advice.]

You mean like... cakes and stuff?

I kinda got her a giraffe but it's not really very romantic.

[caesar]

Yeah, pastries are usually good if she likes that sort of thing. Toy versions of food tend to go over well too - especially if they're small enough to be a keychain or charm for her Dreamberry. Of course, she might be expecting a real cake after you give her one of those... So keep that in mind.

Hey, a phone charm?

[There's another good idea, or at least Ken thinks it is... that sounds like something Aya might actually kind of like, too. Dammit, why didn't he think to have a pen and paper? He tucks the Dreamberry under his ear, rooting through his pockets. Nothing... but at least he tried, right?]

Maybe I could get her both? Like some proper cakes and a keychain thing. That'd get round that problem, right?

[Right?]

[caesar]

[Akihiko nods. Great idea, Ken! Listen to his advice - Akihiko Sanada will not steer you wrong! What does it matter that Aki himself is jut about the last person anyone should take dating advice from?]

No harm in covering all the bases. I say give it a shot.

[Well, he still sounds more sensible than... say, Youji. At least to Ken's ears, anyway.]

Heh, I might as well try. Uh... what do you figure I should do with the giraffe?

[caesar]

...Giraffe cake?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

How would that work?

[Do I even wanna know how that would work?]

[caesar]

Get a cake shaped like a giraffe and offer them together? Girls like when things match, I guess.

Not really sure where you'll find a giraffe cake-shaped cell phone charm though...

[Huh? But you said giraffe ca--]

[--oh, right, a cake shaped like a giraffe, not get the giraffe and put it in a ca... seriously Hidaka why did you think he was suggesting that.]

They do? I didn't realize that...

Maybe the cell phone charm can match the cake by being food and the cake can match the giraffe by being shaped like a giraffe?

[Ken logic. THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE, REALLY.]
