[Otacon offered up Piplup a Pecha berry, as he focused his attention onto the PokeGear. So, he had been within Johto for a few months now with his buddy, Snake. Yet, Otacon had something bothering him in the back of his mind for some time now. It was an urge he had resisted but could no longer hold it back. Yes, he had failed a long time ago at it but now felt like a good time to try again.

He wanted to go out on a date with someone.

Perhaps, there would be some nice girls he could talk to and ask out? A quiet evening within Violet City or a nice picnic by the lake where he caught his Magikarp? The possibilities were endless, right? His other self had dated Liquid Snake. What could go wrong with him asking a woman on a date? Otacon sighed and felt Piplup nudge him to say something.]

Ok..ok....no need to get tetchy, Pip. I'm about to express my feelings across a network here..oh! Is this on? Damn. [He cursed himself for accidentally switching the feed on too early.]

Uh.....[He composed himself in awkward Otacon fashion. Adjusting his glasses and clearing his throat.]

I'd like to enquire if there are any single, lovely young ladies within Johto who would like to go out on a date with me? Or just get to know me better. I'm an easy-going kind of guy and I love technology and Pokémon. Uh....if you'd like to get in contact with me I'm within Violet City just outside of Bellsprout Tower. I'm always on the video feed on the PokeGear too.

[He cleared his throat again and wondered if he hadn't just made himself the biggest fool within Johto. What would Snake think? He couldn't help it. He just had to follow his gut instincts.]

Thank you.

[Huh? Desperate? Oh no. That wasn't what he was meant to sound at all.]

I'm not desperate. I'm just trying to convey my feelings towards a nice young woman in the way I know how. [Using technology is Otacon's forte.]

[scizor_sister]

By making a fool of yourself on the public broadcasting network? What a lucky lady.

[Really, this is kind of like sociopath Christmas. Pity it's coming from a stranger, not someone she's had the chance to build up a nice grudge against beforehand.]

[otakon_geek]

I'm not trying to make a fool of myself. Or, at least, not that much. [What is with this girl?] You don't have to be nasty about it though.

[scizor_sister]

["What's wrong with you" is something of a never-ending pit with Nui. Tread carefully, Otacon.]

Nasty? Me?

[She is so hurt.]

I'm just being honest. No self-respecting lady wants an invitation this impersonal.

[otakon_geek]

Well, you're just being a little sarcastic that's all. I may not even get anywhere with this but.....I want to try. That's the main thing. Impersonal? How?

[scizor_sister]

Begging every woman in the world at once for a date? And not so much as mentioning the kind of person you're interested in. I'm honestly not sure how you could be less personal.

[Try killing an eligible lady's loved one, it worked for her.]

[otakon_geek]

I'm not begging anyone. I'm asking. [There's a difference, right?]

[scizor_sister]

"Please, someone, anyone, date me."

[She doesn't actually try doing a mocking imitation, but her voice does get a hair lower than normal.]

Begging. You were at least a little subtle, I'll admit, but that's what it was.

At LEAST have someone specific in mind.
