Train "Well? Does it taste good?"
Hermes "Yes. The atmosphere here is lovely, too. Do you come to places like this often?"
Train "Well, you know."
Hermes "How wonderful *blush*"

Tonight, in the imagination of the residents.

Hermes "Thank you for tonight. I had a lot of fun."
Train Man "No, thank you. I had fun, too."
H "Eheh... oh? Look at the time."
T "I'm sorry; it's gotten quite late"
H "It's okay. *laughs* Well, then, good night..."
T "........wait!"
H "Eh?"
T "Don't leave!"
H (!?)
T "I don't want to let you go"
H "You mean..."
T "........"
H "......."
T "Hermes...... I........ love you"
H "....do you mean that?"
T "I mean it"
H "....I.... haven't got anything to offer you?"
T "That's not true"
H "I'm not at all pretty..."
T "You're completely adorable"

170 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/27 19:54

H "I'm not a skilled conversationalist like you..."
T "Your voice is charming"
H "I'm older than you..."
T "There's no such thing as age difference when you're in love"
H "I'm a horrible cook?"
T "If it's something you made, I can eat bucketfuls"
H "I'm a jealous woman..."
T "I swear, you're the only woman for me"
H "I'm dead set on marriage!"
T "I'd marry you tomorrow"
H "....."
T "Hermes.... I'm serious, here?"
H "........"
T "Hm? ......Hermes?"

Hermes throws herself against Train Man's chest.
H "Waaaaahhh, Train Maaaaannnnn~~~~~~!!!"
T "U... um?!!"
H "You're so thick-skulled! Of COURSE I love you, too!"
T "...Hermes!?"
H "....I'm so happy! You're all I've been able to think about since that day!"
T "......from now on..... let's live our lives....... together"

No, not sexess LOL

We met at the train station at 8 today. Usually it takes about an hour to get there from my house,
but I left two hours early. As expected, I got there an hour early so I waited

As the meeting time drew closer, I got more and more nervous
But even when the time arrived, she didn't show
She came five minutes later. I saw her coming from far away.
As soon as she saw me, she hurried towards me

Ugh, I think I'm forgetting things already

"I'm sorry I'm late"
That's the first thing she said when she opened her mouth
I said
"Oh, no, it's alriglkfgnslkfg"
I think I tripped over the last syllables. I was a nervous wreck.
Because of her - she was even cuter than the last time we met... ＿|￣|○
She really did dress up...
Unlike last time, her clothes this time had a youthful atmosphere to them.
Feminine? Ahhh I was even more addicted.
Then I said
"Hello, long time no see"
and formally greeted her, first off.
"Hello, yes, it has been while. Thank you for your help the other day."
she said politely and even bowed. Unable to resist, I bowed, too

383 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/27 23:57

After a short greeting we headed to the restaurant.
I was so, so nervous about walking with her next to me.
If I walked at my normal pace, she got left behind.
Women walk slower than men. I never knew that.
I slowed my pace to match hers
but it might have seemed a bit uncomfortable.

Plus, I was absolutely convinced that a guy like me and a woman like her
must have seemed really strange walking together, and it was really getting to me
I felt like everyone was looking at me

I talked to her on the way there, but...
I think I only remember one thing

390 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/27 23:59

417 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 00:11

The thing I remember is
"If I'm with you, I can ride the train without being afraid"
The moment she said it, my heartbeat got really loud.

Apparently the trains are a bit of a scary place for women
Especially in the morning rush hour. There might be guys like the old man from last time, see
But she said if she was with someone like me,
then she'd feel safe. "Oh, haha..." was all I could say
Why can't I say things that are more interesting... ＿|￣|○

We got off the train, and left the station for the restaurant.
The area around the station was packed with people, because it was Saturday
I walked about a step ahead of her,
but I was plagued by the feeling that she might disappear from behind me
After about 15 seconds I would turn around and check
I realized that whenever I've walked with someone in the past, I always
walked behind them. I'm just not comfortable
walking in front.

439 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 00:21

"Wow, there's really a lot of people out today, huuhhh"
"It's because it's the weekend, I suppose"
While saying things like this I make my way through the bustling crowd

I keep checking behind me.
She must have noticed how unsettled I was, because she said
"It's alright *laughs*"
"Ah, really?"
'Really?'... why did I say that... ＿|￣|○
Then

"Yes, I've got you. *laughs*"

and she put her hand around my wrist.
I was so shocked that I pulled away without thinking... ＿|￣|
That might be the first time a woman has ever touched me
Why are they so soft...?

"Ah, I'm sorry"

But because I'd reacted so skiddishly, she hurriedly pulled her hand away...

"Ah, no, pardon me. It's okay"
I tried to recover but it was too late.
"Oh, no, I'm sorry for suddenly taking your arm like that"
No, I want you to take my arm. I want you to hold my ha(trunkated)
I wanted to say that... ＿|￣|○
After that, she didn't take my hand any more... ＿|￣|.............○))

We arrived at the restaurant. Of course, I had made a reservation so we got right in
Going right in to a crowded restaurant feels (・∀・)nice!!
We sit down, and
"It has a nice atmosphere, doesn't it"
she said
"It does, doesn't it. I like it, too."
Forgive me. Today makes my second time here... ＿|￣|

The menu comes
"Do you have any recommendations?"
she said. I recommended what I'd had last time
because I thought it was pretty good.

When it was time to order drinks, I asked for a fresh grapefruit Hi-chu
She hurriedly looked at the menu again, and ordered a Kyohou sour

"Sorry, I didn't think we were drinking *laughs*"
"No, I'm sorry for making you feel obligated"

I wonder what we talked about as we waited for the food to come...
We really did end up talking about that time on the train a lot
"You must be a very earnest person"
etc.
"Are you the type who just can't allow injustices?"
I guess that's about how it went...

When the food came, it was
"This is delicious"
and such... I wonder if we really got into our conversation or not...

Didn't she say anything about your "dressing up", Train Man?

574 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 01:34

>>566
I forgot... ＿|￣|○
"Hmm? You changed your look, didn't you."
or something like that, when we were going to the restaurant.
I said
"Yes... I tried giving it a go"
as an answer. She said
"It's nice"
kindly, but...

587 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 01:43

We finish the meal, and
"Do you come to this kind of restaurant often?"
comes up. Once the food was all gone, it was like, okay, we're gonna talk now
She looks straight at my face, so I'm nervous...
"Actually, I've only very recently taken up an interest in these types of places"
I admit.
"Really? I like searching out places like this"
she throws out
"Is this type of atmosphere popular lately?"
I reply. What I read in the party flyer came in handy... I guess?
She started telling me about the types of restaurants she likes.

It seems searching out different kinds of trendy restaurants is a hobby of hers.
Or maybe all girls are like that?
But lately it seems that the friend who always used to go with her got a boyfriend,
and can't go anymore. So coming here this time, she said
was something she'd really enjoyed.

605 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 01:54

By the time we'd finally gotten used to talking, the restaurant was pretty full.
And it was kinda noisy, too. She must have sensed the mood, because
"Well, then, shall we...?"
she said, and signalled to the waiter. This is one of those places where you pay your bill at the table
so I don't really know what I had been expecting, but
inside I felt like "oh no... it's already over..."
The waiter came
"I've only got large bills, so I'll just go ahead and pay"
she said, and quickly paid it all. I'd been planning to
coolly flip out the Benjamin Franklins, but...
"Well, then, I'll pay my share later, okay?"
I said.

We left the restaurant, and it kinda felt like we didn't have anywhere to go, so
we just walked silently. I kept checking her, like: Am I going home now?
After we'd walked a little ways
"It's still a little early, isn't it"
she says.

I was going
yeaahh━━━ヽ(ヽ(ﾟヽ(ﾟ∀ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ∀ﾟ)ﾉﾟ)ﾉ)ﾉ━━━!!!!

I looked at my watch and it was indeed just past 8pm.
I said
"Um, are you okay for your curfew?"
I meant to sound attentive but
"Ahaha"
she laughed at me... ＿|￣|○
But I got to see her smile, so good answer
"I'm not that age any more~ *laughs* But thank you"
she replied. What had I done... ＿|￣|

"There's a restaurant near here that I really like; would you mind accompanying me?"
and yeaahh━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!
"Yes, that'd be perfectly fine"
We're on the way to the next place

"Oh, here's the money for the meal..."
I gave her enough for about 70% of the bill. She took it, and
"it's a bit much"
she replied
"No, well, I am the one who invited you..."
I said, urging her to take it
"I bet you won't listen if I pester you about it *laughs*"
she said, and cheerfully(?) accepted the extra
She might have been annoyed at me...

Right now I'd let Train Man make love to me.

663 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 02:24

We were already pretty full so we just wanted something light
So the next restaurant was much trendier than the first one
I didn't even think they'd let someone like me in the front door
Apparently she's been there a number of times
and as she told me that, I thought, a place like this really does suit her

We get to our seats and look at the menu, and she orders wine and salty snacks
I.... didn't see anything I could order.... ＿|￣|○
I ended up ordering wine, which I just can't get used to, and cheese because it seemed to fit

"This is a very fashionable place, isn't it"
I said, trying to compliment her taste.
"It is, isn't it. I rather like it here"
she said. She seemed to be having fun. I couldn't relax, tho ＿|￣|

When we'd just about run out of things to say about the restaurant, I said
"Oh, has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity?"
Then I thought about it, and I don't know any celebrities...
"Really?! No, they haven't *laughs*
but my friends always tell me that I look like Moomin *laughs*"
I almost blurted out "that's not a celebrity" without thinking
but I held back
"Oh..."
I said it so I sounded like I might agree.
Moomin, huh... maybe... she does.

665 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 02:25

She'd had a little wine so I thought she might have been a bit drunk
I was a little drunk, too.

The conversation turned to that time on the train
"How did you feel?"
or something, like maybe she was a little drunk, she started proactively asking questions
"I was scared, of course."
I still am... ＿|￣|○

Then
"I wish all the men in the world were like you"
she said something like that. I was like (　ﾟдﾟ)huuuhh? and didn't understand what she meant
"I want to be like you, too"
All of a sudden I'm nervous and I don't know why
After that she goes on about how she wishes her bosses and other men in her life would learn from my example
All I could do was blush.

It was already almost past 10pm.
Maybe she knew she'd about reached the limit of
how much conversation she could squeeze out of me. We took care of the bill
and left the restaurant. This time we split the bill properly

We start walking towards the train station. There were still a lot of people around
Strangely, we didn't talk much on the way there

750 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 03:10

We both get on the Keihin Touhoku line. It seems we're in the same direction.
"Well, then, mine's the next stop..."
While I was thinking 'oh, she lives around here, huh...'
"I had a good time today, thank you"
"Oh, no, really, thank you"

I figured this was how it would all end, and got choked up
I thought 'I have to set up a next time!' But I couldn't say it... ＿|￣|○

The train starts to slow down. This is the end? But maybe that's as it should be.
My head's all scrambled. The door opens
"Well, good night"
she says, and gets off the train. She turned around and stood on the platform facing me.
She waves at me.
The door stars to close. Without thinking, I yelled,
"I'll call you!"
right before it closed. I don't know if she heard me
but I think she might have nodded.

That's it.

but she nodded, huh
kewl (ﾟ∀ﾟ)

758 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 03:12

>>750
Were you sure to call her after you got home?

765 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 03:14

I'm exhausted... ＿|￣|○
Thanks for listening everyone

>>758
I didn't...
I wasn't sure if she had heard me

I guess this is prolly the end, huh

775 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 03:16

>>765
Can you end it here?
Will your heart let you?

It's pretty late, why don't you think it over thoroughly?

778 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 03:17

798 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 03:21

Somebody else said this already
but just the fact that you got dressed up and took a lady out to dinner
is a huge level up for you.
It's not like you went out to seduce some woman you're after.

If u wanna get closer to Hermes
then you just have to try hard again.
NEwayz goodjob.

807 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 03:24

＞Train Man
You gotta call her tomorrow!
You gotta set up your next date!
It's the man's job to ask.
It's not just a moral, it's a RULE!!!!!!!

810 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 03:25

I tried to tell her I'd like to see her again,
but I couldn't say it...
When she was right in front of me, I just couldn't say it... ＿|￣|○

811 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 03:25

>>777
Starting from now on, a normal date invitation is okay, right?
You don't have to start "seeing each other",
but since you're now acquaintances, you can invite her to dinner, at least.

Plus, it's Hermes's hobby to find trendy restaurants,
but she says she doesn't have anyone to go with her anymore,
so I think maybe you could use that to invite her to dinner,
or even ask her to take you someplace with her.

You still don't have anything to lose, all you can do is give it a try, right?

824 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 03:27

When Hermes said "I don't have anyone to go with me"
couldn't she have been hoping that Train Man would say
"Well, then, why don't you go with me, and we'll have delicious food."

829 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 03:28

she doesn't have any friends to go to the restaurants with her any more

She gave you this opening
and you didn't do anything?
That was the perfect chance.

840 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 03:31

I think that whatever parts (of their conversation) Train Man didn't write here
are prolly the key.
Like: visiting restaurants → nobody to go with
I think this should be what you call her about tomorrow(?).

88 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 21:01

Heya. Is this the right one?
The phone call... I still haven't done it.

I'm still kinda nervous

96 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 21:08

I feel like this time for sure I'm just gonna be annoying her ＿|￣|○

99 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 21:10

>>96
I know how you feel, but saying you're going to call her and then NOT doing it, conversely, is rude

100 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 21:11

If you need someone to go to restaurants with, won't you go somewhere with me again?

is the Final Answer, right

Well if you don't call today, when ARE you gonna call?
Here's a mental simulation from moi:

Thank you very much for yesterday, I had a good time
　↓
I haven't had much of a chance to have dinner with a lady before, so
I was nervous, but I had a lot of fun.
　↓
If you wouldn't mind, may I invite you again sometime?

and then for setting up the next date, wait and see her reaction
if it seems 0k, then try it, how's that

117 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 21:19

>>115
I think instead of inviting her, he should get her to take HIM somewhere.

Train Man's looking like he's outta ammo LOL

120 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 21:21

>>117
Why don't they take turns looking for places? Like: "Well, then, Hermes, why don't you tell me about a place that you like?"

121 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 21:21

A critique of >>115's mental simulation:

Thank you very much for yesterday, I had a good time ←YES
　↓
I haven't had much of a chance to have dinner with a lady before, so ←NO
I was nervous, but I had a lot of fun. ←YES
　↓
If you wouldn't mind, may I invite you again sometime? ←if she says ok, try: you said you
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　don't have anyone to go with you,
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　but how about going with me...?

and then for setting up the next date, wait and see her reaction
if it seems 0k, then try it, how's that ←YES

123 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 21:22

The thread's moving fast enough that I can say this

I've never had dinner with a woman

In fact, I asked one once,
and she said "Why should I have to look at your face while I'm eating?!"

She called just a minute ago.
Our first exchange was...

"I'm sorry I couldn't answer before"
"I'm sorry, did I catch you at a bad time?"
"No, now is fine"

Something like that
After that, I thanked her again for yesterday.
Then I checked to see whether or not she'd heard what I inadvertently yelled when we parted
It seemed she had.

After that, I said that since she didn't have anyone to go with her to the different restaurants,
I'd be happy to go with her, if she'd like

"Yes, that'd be just fine. I'd appreciate it, actually."
she accepted easily. I let out a sigh
"I'm sorry, I actually meant to offer yesterday when you first mentioned it"
I said, and she replied
"Haha *laughs*, actually I was hinting *laughs*"
"I'm sorry, I wasn't really sure..."

（　ﾟдﾟ)huuuhhh
It's just like this thread thought

And it seems she's got a restaurant she wants to try this time,
so we're going there. Either next week or the week after.

465 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 22:43

Hey, Train Man
I heard Hermes is the same age as Moomin??

474 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 22:45

Oh, I got her email address (・∀・)ｂ

I don't play adult games very much,
but I do play regular ones
I gotta pass up on Dragon Quest 5, huh... ＿|￣|○

478 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 22:46

Yesterday, the person who first deduced that Hermes was hinting
for Train Man to invite her to dinner was me. Be grateful, omg!


At dinner this time, you should bring up the topic of movies.
Like: What kind of movies have you seen lately?
or: Is there any movie you want to see?
And then use that to invite her to a movie next time.
After two dinners you're going to be running out of conversation topics
but if you go to a movie, you can use that as ammo later （・∀・）

Also, it seems like you're worried about your appearance, but I don't think you should stress too much about it.
It sounds like Hermes is attracted to your personality,
and clever Hermes has probably already deduced that the clothes don't make the man.

489 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 22:49

>>465
I haven't asked. I know she's old enough to not have a curfew, at least
She really does seem older than me...

539 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 23:07

who was it!! who said yesterday that this kind of announcement would be hard from now on!!

573 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 23:21

>>563
But while I'm reading Train's posts, I realize
that even though he may be a man of few words, the words he uses are really good

Like: "I'm going to dress up a bit"
or:
"Actually, I've only very recently taken up an interest in these types of places"


I wouldn't go so far as to say he's trendy, but more like sincere, smart and naive, it's kinda cool
When I'm in the real world, I talk just like this
And Hermes's replies are cool, too

592 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/28 23:30

>>585
Just tell me if you have a high voice or a low voice, plzzzzzzzzzz

Um, it's not to try and make something of it, I just really want to know.

597 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 23:32

>>592
Hmmmm.....
I guess if I had to pick one, I'd say high-ish

Also, my voice is really quiet so it's hard to have conversations... ＿|￣|○
Even in these summaries it's more like the sentencez were all completed on their own...

611 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 23:36

After everything, I really don't know her age.
She looks to be about 23-25, but the airs about her seem more calm and refined
That's what makes it so hard to tell if she's maybe even older than that

619 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/28 23:37

text message from Hermes, yeahh━━━━(｡Ａ｡)━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━(｡Ａ｡)━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━(｡Ａ｡)━━━━!!!!
Apparently there's someone who wants to meet me, so can they come to dinner, too, she says

770 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/29 18:47

What?
Okay, that's kinda weird

777 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/29 18:54

I don't think you can say no, either way, though.

778 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/29 18:55

Oh yeah, it might be a man... ＿|￣|○
But I can't say no, can I

799 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/29 19:13

If it were a girl, she'd say "a girl who wants to meet you", not "someone who wants to meet you"
right?
I hope I'm just being paranoid....

800 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/29 19:14

Oops, she did say "girl" (｀･ω･´)

801 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/29 19:15

well then, we're pretty sure it's a girl friend.

807 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/29 19:34

she replied already yeaahh━━━━(｡A｡)━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━(｡A｡)━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━(｡A｡)━━━━!!!!
Fast! Too fast, Hermes!
What's more, it's:
"Yay, thanx! XDD"
somehow she sounds different! (*´Д｀*)pants

828 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/29 20:23

>Train

You should try not to let too much time pass before answering her mails.
The longer you wait, the higher the danger that she'll stop replying.

845 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/29 20:36

Reply complete

I wonder what kind of person she is?
I'm starting to look forward to it

849 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/29 20:38

No, if you think about it, that friend of hers has got to be really close with Hermes,
so she wants to have her evaluate (sorry for the wording) Train
don't you think?

875 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/29 20:51

Another reply, yeaahh━━━ヽ(∀ﾟ )人(ﾟ∀ﾟ)人( ﾟ∀)人(∀ﾟ )人(ﾟ∀ﾟ)人( ﾟ∀)ﾉ━━━ !!!
"I'm sorry for taking so long"
What was so long about that!!?!1

The person is a friend from junior high, it seems
And we've confirmed it's a girlaadglakmg.,m,g.mf,.g

880 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/29 20:53

Introducing you to her best friend!!!!!!!!
Wow, that's amazing newssss

884 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/29 20:53

That just makes >849's theory seem even more credible, huh

886 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/29 20:54

>>876
It's okay, come back

Women like to talk about the person they're interested in
That's what her mail replies are, right?
A girl's female friends are really critical, so if Hermes thought you'd be thought badly of,
I don't think she'd introduce you to a friend

889 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/29 20:55

It was a long way getting here... ( ´ー｀)

899 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/29 20:57

She prolly told her best friend how you helped her.
So, she wants to see you (meet you), I bet.
Don't read too much into it; just have a good time.

191 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/30 22:19

So...

when's the love confession?

194 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/30 22:21

Moomin, explain why you're bringing someone else

199 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/30 22:24

>>191
If I could, I'd love to confess right now, but...
it's no use... ＿|￣|○

>>194
It seems she just HAS to meet me

55 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/31 13:18

>>45
In my head, Moomin looks like Ogawa Tamaki.

58 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/31 13:20

>>55
Ogawa Tamaki? I think that might be perfect
Can I use her, too?

101 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/31 22:34

Heya. Our next date is set
It's the first week of April for now

113 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/31 22:46

What kind of impression are you going for this time?

117 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/31 22:48

>>113
Seriously
I feel like, what should I do?

142 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/03/31 23:06

For a gentle look... how about a light green or light blue shirt, with a white-ish jacket?
For the bottom half, a light-colored matching pair of pants, and sneakers, with blue as the base?

Well, that's just my sense of style, after all ('A`)

152 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/03/31 23:15

>>150
I was wearing brown when I first met her,
then last time we met it was... peach-ish, I guess

As for the shape, the first time was kinda *crunch*, but this past time was kinda *floof*, I guess

196 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/01 00:46

The other day one of the girls at my part-time job was like
"I'd NEVER date a guy who wears clothes from Uniqlo!!"
Maybe somewhere like United Arrows or Ships?

http://www.united-arrows.co.jp/glr/fashion/index.shtml

197 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/01 00:50

But lately isn't Arrows turning kinda Uniqlo?

198 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/01 00:50

beams, too

199 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/01 00:58

If it looks good, shouldn't anywhere be fine?
If you care too much about brand names, you'll end up like people on the fashion BBS.

201 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/01 01:05

the most popular guy in my dorm wears nothing but uniqlo

203 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/01 01:05

Well, here's a word from moi, a resident of the fashion BBS:
"If it's a brand name, anywhere is fine"

204 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/01 01:06

Comme Ca is Comme Ca, but I recommend Comme Ca-ism to Train Man
It's totally cooler and more importantly, cheap
Just be sure not to get anything with a logo on it

208 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/01 01:14

I was bored so I took Train's testimony as inspiration and
tried imagining Hermes's clothes.
When he saved her
ttp://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/eit-shop/img1054308202.jpeg
At dinner
ttp://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/asuwish/img1004858283.jpeg
Like that?
Maybe she looks a little too prudish

309 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 20:13

Yo, today I bought clothes for the big day
They're a little refined

311 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 20:14

>>Train Man
Welcome home.
The expenses continue - must be rough lol

312 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 20:16

The first week of April, so... tomorrow?

313 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 20:16

I got a good laugh out of those mental image pictures
And obsessed

314 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 20:22

>>310
The real one (｀･ω･´)

>>311
I've already used more than $500... ＿|￣|○

>>312
Yep, it's tomorrow

317 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 20:34

The bottom picture on >>208 is close as far as atmosphere. It was a little frillier, tho.
The top one is a little off. It was the type of 6-button coat you see around a lot,
and on the bottom she was wearing a slightly short skirt with long boots

319 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 20:35

>Train
So, did u decide where ur going?

320 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 20:40

>>319
Yes.
It seems this time is Western food

321 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 20:42

Western, huh... watch out for your table manners, O|{?
Try not to use your knife upsidedown or slurp your soup LOL

323 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 20:43

>>321
(((((((( ；ﾟДﾟ))))))) SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE

331 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 20:56

Manners...

For soup and such, tip your spoon AWAY from your body!
Then, move it close to your mouth and eat!
When you eat it, don't slurp (no sshhlllllllppppppp noises)

For knives and stuff, use the one on the outside, first (maybe everyone knows this?)
However, for dessert, coffee and the like, take from in front of you

Fold your napkin into thirds and put it in your lap (I think..)

If I think of any more, I'll write it, O|{?
But I think that rather than thinking about all that too much and getting weirdly stiff and nervous,
it's better to be honest and say something like
"Wow~, I'm not used to places like this... I usually eat at Japanese restaurants"

344 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 21:46

I did some research on table manners

Maybe I'm okay on conversation topics by now...
Since lately we've been text messaging each other a lot

371 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 22:15

What have you been text messaging each other a lot about?
Did you find out if she has a boyfriend or not?

377 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 22:19

>>371
I don't know if she has a boyfriend or not,
but we talk about recent stuff in both our lives, etc etc

When she tells her friend about me
the friend says
"I can't wait to meet him", apparently

Please don't get your hopes up... ＿|￣|○

383 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 22:23

>>380
We trade light jokes
"Have you been saving people on the train again?"
etc

387 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 22:25

>>383
"Have you been saving people on the train again?"

I've added this to the database of Hermes-speak
Maybe soon the maintainer will |_|pload it with a picture of Ogawa Tamaki

388 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 22:26

what kind of clothes did u buy?

394 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 22:34

>>379
Tomorrow the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom. Why don't you take her for a walk under them after the meal?

401 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 22:42

>>388
I think it's called jersey cloth?

Cherry blossom viewing after dinner, huh...
I'll suggest it

402 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 22:45

Now you're using words that are outside our vocabulary
It's great
But a little sad

403 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 22:45

Okay, it's a little late for this, but I'm gonna ask. Train Man!
Do you . L . O . V . E . Hermes?

406 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 22:47

>>403
　. Y . E . S .

Lately even when I'm sleeping or awake I'm thinking about her... ＿|￣|○　

410 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 22:48

Well then, confess your love tomorrow, okay.
Use >>406's feelings

411 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 22:49

>>401

I first heard of jersey cloth on the 4eq thread. Train Man has finally entered that realm, too...

416 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 22:51

>>410
I can't... ＿|￣|○
And tomorrow she'll have her friend with her, anyway

>>408
That picture's pretty far from how she is, but I still obsessed (・∀・)ｂ
Maybe if that person's face was thinner, and had long hair, she'd be closer

444 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 23:17

We've already decided the place and time
but the text message bonanza hasn't stopped

470 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 23:38

"Want to see my dog?"

she says. What do I say?

474 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 23:40

＞she says. What do I say?

...blockhead

482 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/02 23:44

I'll admit it. At first I underestimated Train Man.
He whined and cried over a little thank you phone call,
so I thought we all had to step in and show him some support.
But now Train is lightyears ahead of me. Forgive me.
I'm always the one left behind...

493 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/02 23:48

doggie picture yeahh━━━ヽ(∀ﾟ )人(ﾟ∀ﾟ)人( ﾟ∀)人(∀ﾟ )人(ﾟ∀ﾟ)人( ﾟ∀)ﾉ━━━ !!!
His name is _________. He's cute! (*´Д｀*)*pants*


I keep wondering if this is all a dream
It's all too different from the me of one month ago.
If it's a dream I don't wanna wake up

539 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 00:05

I wonder what it's like to get so much support and advice from 2ch
And if it comes to fruition, will we, too, have a special place in all of it...?

Well, I guess that's what you'd call an "unsung hero", huh ('A`)

543 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 00:06

Hey, you guyz!
Haven't you ever hesitated when trying to call a woman on the phone?
I have!
I'm not proud of it, but I have lots of experience with it!!
So much that Trane's strength kinda pisses me off

567 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/03 00:18

Finished. We ended up talking about movies, somehow
We decided to end the call

I'm gonna lend her a DVD （　ﾟдﾟ)

571 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 00:20

>>567
Hey, do you even have any proper, real DVDs.....?

686 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/03 11:11

Good morning
I'm thinking I'll leave the house early today

687 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 11:13

>>Train
*pat*
Are you mentally prepared?

691 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/03 11:19

0k, I checked the contents of the DVD

694 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 11:23

There's no weird hairs or anything in it, right? lol ＜ the case

697 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/03 11:41

>>694
0k, I cleaned it

I actually don't have a bag to put this in, so I'm going to go buy one

701 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 11:55

>>697
Usefulness is the second point
Pay attention to the design

Now I'm worried

706 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/03 12:20

I'm moving out!
I'll choose the bag carefully |

*leaves*

732 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 19:52

Will the attack come around the time that the next thread is started?
Is that too soon?
Will it even be today.........!?

735 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 20:01

What'll we do if he doesn't come home tonight?

765 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 22:42

Train's late getting back...

792 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 23:44

....this is weird, it's this late and Train Man isn't back...

Hurry, the bomb shelter isn't ready yet

797 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 23:46

Forget the bomb shelter - we need more sandbags!
And get the anti-artillery machine guns, fast!
Once the bombers get here it will be too late

804 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 23:52

Dammit, I hid in the trenches but they've got flamethrowers
Stop! I'm not Sukekiyo, I can'ttarlyorjaly;kl;kl;aryar;ltya

807 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/03 23:53

I just got back safe and sound.
I'll type up the details later~

I'm tired... ＿|￣|○

808 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 23:53

>>807
Welcome home!!

815 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/03 23:55

He's back, yeaahh━━━━━（ﾟ∀ﾟ）━━━━━!!!!
Welcome back!!

832 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/04 00:01

HEEYY what are you guys just sitting around for!!
All hands, grab the anti-aircraft missile defense gear, we have to survive the first wave of attack!!
The ground troops are crucial - we can't be defeated here!

852 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/04 00:13

So, today, first I went to buy a bag to put the Matrix DVD into.
I figured I just needed something that would fit a DVD into it, so I bought a smallish bag
unlike anything I've bought before. I think it's called a tote bag. I bought it and then went straight to the meeting place

I arrived about 30 minutes ahead of time.
I wait there for 30 minutes.
This time she was only a little tiny bit late.
Man, she's cute today, too. Obsession.
She had a denim coat, and a pink and white 2-tone skirt.
She seemed a little more youthful than usual.

and she had PIGTAILS YEEAAHH━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━!!!
They're my absolute favoriklntrslknsrkltlkskklsrtklms
Her make-up was more detailed than last time, too... (；´Д`)*pants*

"I'm sorry I'm late"
she hurried towards me
"It's okay"

It seems her friend is running even later, so we decided to go to the restaurant ahead of her

854 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/04 00:13

Hrrmm, I thought I confirmed signs of Train's bomber awhile ago, but...
was it a reconnaisance plane?

857 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/04 00:14

>>854　You stuck your head out and took a direct hit!

859 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/04 00:14

>>854
Ah, he left the bomb shelter and is getting hit by Train Man's fire!

863 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/04 00:15

Pigtails... detailed make-up... the doorway to hell is starting to open... ('A`)

893 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/04 00:29

Today she's the one leading the way to the restaurant,
so I deliberately walked a little bit behind her.

There were lots of people out today, too, so I followed her
being careful not to get separated. We chatted a bit on the way

"I'm sorry for keeping you up so late last night *laughs*"
I knew right away she was talking about the text messaging
"Oh, no, I'm sorry my replies took so long... You're a fast typer, aren't you"
I tried to imply that I'm pretty slow.
In our replies back and forth yesterday, she'd mentioned she had hay fever and was worried about pollen in the air.
Apparently she took some medicine today to stop her runny nose.

This time she was the one walking slightly ahead, so
she kept turning around to talk to me.
But just as she turned, a pole (or something) came up in front of her
on the sidewalk. She didn't see it.
"Ah!"
I say, and unthinkingly grabbed her hand...
"Hm?"
"You almost ran into something"
"Sorry, my pills are kicking in so I'm a little spacey.
Thank you"

And we start walking again. She says
"Let's walk next to each other"
So I said
"Ah, okay"
and moved up a little. Be more considerate, self... ＿|￣|○

899 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/04 00:31

＞I say, and unthinkingly grabber her hand...
I'm sure it was very spur of the moment, but to the residents of this BBS,
that's something that's impossible to do ('A`)urgh

924 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/04 00:49

We get to the resturant, and
"I tried copying you *laughs*"
"Eh?"
For a second I didn't know what she was talking about, but apparently she'd made a reservation
Apparently most people don't

The restaurant was an Italian place; mostly pizza and spaghetti
"Well, shall we go ahead and order?"
"Ah, okay"
Apparently this is the kind of place where you order one dish and everyone shares it
"Choose something you like"
"Oh, no, that wouldn't be fair"
I say, but to tell the truth, without pictures I couldn't tell what was what... ＿|￣|○

That's when
"Sorry, sorry"
a woman says. Her friend had arrived.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting"
she apologized to me, slightly out of breath
"Oh, no, that's alright"
Hermes's friend was even more lively,
and her outfit was a little flashier

946 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/04 01:03

"We haven't decided what to eat yet, so it's okay"
"Oh, good"
says the friend, and sits down next to Hermes
"It's nice to meet you"
"Yes, you too"
we introduced ourselves casually
"I've heard a lot about you *laughs*"
says the friend, laughing lightly

We chose the meal between the three of us
"Would you like something to drink again? *laughs*"
She interjects lightly. It seemed like her attitude had changed slightly because of her friend's presence
"Ah, okay, then *laugh*"
I ordered a beer. The two of them ordered wine, tho... ＿|￣|○
Take a hynt, self... ＿|￣|

We talked amongst ourselves until the food came.
That friend of hers was a real motor mouth... lol
She seemed like a pretty interesting person so even I could talk to her without much resistance

958 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/04 01:07

*peeks his head out of the trench*

960 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/04 01:07

>958
Hey, you stupid kid! Keep your head down!!

994 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/04 01:18

Until the food came, I answered a barrage of questions from the friend
About what happened on the train, and about dinner that last time.
"Huh, so it seems you two are pretty friendly *laughs*"
she teased, too.

Even when the food comes, the friend doesn't settle down
Hermes laughed a lot, too. There were a lot of topics that I wasn't familiar with,
but I laughed, anyway. I've been on the defensive the whole time,
and then here comes the topic:
"Hermes, do people ever tell you that you look like Ogawa Tamaki?"
"Ogawa Tamaki?"
Apparently neither of us know who Ogawa Tamaki is
"Is she an actress?"
"Ah, yes, she is"
"Huh... I bet I'd recognize her if I saw her"

According to the friend, she's a cross beween YOU and Kuninaka Ryoko
I said "Ooooh",
but I don't know what either of them looks like... ＿|￣|○

120 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/04 01:38

"Train, who do people tell you that you look like?"
"Oh, nobody's ever told me I look like anyone"
It's kinda painful when the topic turns to myself
"Maybe, just a liiiiiiiiittle bit like the guitarist for ELT?"
ELT has a guitarist...? ＿|￣|○
At any rate, I denied it by saying I wasn't that cool

We also talked about movies. I handed Matrix 1-3 to her
"Thank you~"
"The story is a little hard to follow"
"If there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask *laughs*"
"Haha *laugh*"
I don't understand, either... ＿|￣|
I'll have to study up on it. It seems that neither she nor her friend have seen past part 1

The two of them also recommended Lord of the Rings.
I've only seen part 1 of that one... ＿|￣|○
Also, the movie about the dog (title forgotten)

132 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/04 01:41

>>120
> "Maybe, just a liiiiiiiiittle bit like the guitarist for ELT?"

Th.... that's not a compliment....

135 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/04 01:42

>>120
The dog movie is 'Quill', huh.

185 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/04 01:57

We also talked about who the friend looked like,
but I had my hands full trying to remember Kuninaka Ryoko and YOU ＿|￣|○

"I'm going to go wash my hands..."
I headed towards the bathroom... but I didn't know where it was
I asked a waiter but didn't really get it, and just managed to find it by wandering around in the restaurant

I finished and went back to my seat...
"Umm.... are you a bit of a space cadet?"
I've heard that before... ＿|￣|○
"People tell me that sometimes... ＿|￣|"
"Oh, not ALL the time?"
The friend's witty comment was too much... ＿|￣|○
Hermes laughed here
"She'd mentioned it before, but your case is pretty advanced, isn't it."
she strikes again. What do you mean, she'd mentioned it before...
After all that,
"I think it's refreshing"
Hermes followed up for me, but
"I've never seen a character like you *laughs*"
Another unneccessary comment

186 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/04 01:58

What is this, certification of a rare species?

213 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/04 02:14

I know we talked about more than that, but...
what was it...
There were a lot of topics I didn't understand...

The friend ended up going home a little past 9
Apparently she had to work early the next day.
We ended up leaving the restaurant soon after that
We split the bill again, if anyone was wondering
"Well then, I'll just get out of your way *laughs*"
Maybe it was because she'd had some alcohol, but the friend's face was a little flushed

When it was just the two of us again
"Shall we go somewhere else?"
"Okay *laughs*"
This time I did the inviting.
We were feeling a little slow, so we just ended up going to a bar in the area.

"Sorry for all the fuss *laughs*"
"No, I had fun"
She apologized, but I didn't mind

I'm tired... ＿|￣|○

214 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/04 02:15

The friend felt like she should go home first, yeaahh━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!!

221 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/04 02:16

We're exchanging fire!

Hey, did you find out Hermes's occupation or age?

>>231
I forgot...

We talked about our jobs and ages a little bit.
Both of them work in pretty lucrative fields... ＿|￣|○
As for age, the friend looked at my and said
"Maybe we're a little bit older?"

We haven't had sexx0rs OR kissed! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Well no I wanted to but gyaahhhhwhatareyoudoinggstoppaeglaknrgklangka

Also we talked about movies again
And about which restaurant to go to next time we had a chance
And also about fashion, strangely, since I don't know anything about it
"I really don't know much about it, so I've been meaning to study up..."
"Really? Now that I think of it, you've changed your look quite a bit since the first time we met, haven't you?"
she sticks in, and my heart flipflops. I answer honestly
"It was the first time I'd had dinner with a lady, so I tried to pull myself together in a hurry"
I admitted.

"Oh, really~?"
She didn't seem to mind... I think
"I don't really care much about fashion, either"
I almost blurted out 'yeah, right', but I held myself back

It had gotten pretty late, so we decided to leave the restaurant
Just like last time, we didn't talk much on the way home

The train home was the Keihin Touhoku line again
There were some drunk guys stumbling around in the same car as us.
She looked at them, then at me.
"Ah, don't worry"
"Ahaha *laughs*"
I don't think there was any deeper meaning to it, tho

She gets off the train first, just like last time
She waves at me
"I'll text message you, okay?"
"Me, too"
"Goodnight"
and the door closes

So, as soon as I got home I quickly booted up my PC and opened the mail program
I thanked her for today and asked if she'd gotten home safely in a short message
and a reply came right away.
"Thank you for today, I had a good time. I just got home, myself~
Let's go somewhere else that has yummy food again next time♪"

That's it （ ´ー｀）
