【the ❝CALL ME OUT❞ meme】
a roleplay meme to inspire muses.

♛ refer to the list above for active muses. also, feel free to ask for anyone from my very messy, outdated muselist that's not listed here; i'll probably play most anyone that's not under retired or the umineko category bc god that's gonna take a long time to canon review for. bear in mind, voices will be extremely shaky!
♛ post "calling" one of them out — you can do so by putting their name in the subject line!
♛ can be informal/formal/comment spam/crosscanon/explicit/whatever tickles your fancy!
♛ feel free to make up a scenario at the start, or wait to see where things go. alternatively, if you'd like me to start, then post a top-level and lmk!

Been thinking about it for a while, actually - are you alright?

[Please don't choke on tea, he knows that's unpleasant.]

[ After a few more seconds of coughing: ] I-I...I'm fine, thanks.

[ She may not be choking anymore, but there's no hiding that flushed face of hers. ]

Um...you said you've been thinking about it for a while...?

[ She doesn't outright say it, but there's definitely an implication of "but why" in her voice. Not that she's opposed to the idea; she's sure that his daughter is a very lovely girl, but...it's not every day that one just thinks about whom another would be a good couple with...unless you're Fukawa. ]

You'd get along well, I'm sure of that much. And I think a date with a nice, trustworthy girl would be good for Lobco, and I think a date with a sweet, beautiful girl might be fun for you.

But, well, humans are terribly picky about what gender they date sometimes...

[That 'straight' thing makes more sense when you understand how differently human reproduction works, but it doesn't make it easier to inquire about.]

Oh, no, that's not the problem...

[ Cherryblod, seriously. Have you seen her. ]

It's just that...well. Um. [ She's already been down this road twice, once with Fukawa and once with her brother. She doesn't want to go down it again, so she'll be honest this time. ] ...I don't really have any experience with that sort of thing? N-Not that I haven't been asked out before! It's just...I kinda turned them down? O-Oh, but I'm not a heartbreaker or anything like that! It's just that everyone who's asked me out were either my friends' exes or like really creepy old guys...

So of course you turned them down. [He sounds sympathetic.] There's no reason to rush to get experience - I completely agree.

[Also those creepy old men can die.]

Are you worried you wouldn't be any good at dating? It really isn't as hard as it sounds.

Well...

[ She's pretty ashamed to admit it, but: ]

...Yeah. All of my friends were way more experienced than me, and I haven't even gone on one date.

Would you like to know a secret, Komaru dear, that they don't tell young people?

[He doesn't wait long for an answer.]

The important thing is to be kind and communicate with your partner. Everything else is secondary. And you seem to have being kind down just fine already, so I don't think you'll have trouble.

...Really? It's that simple?

[ Manga made it look super easy, but...it's manga, and as much as Komaru would love to live in her favorite manga fantasies, she knows it's not possible. ]

I always thought dating was a lot more complicated than that. I mean, before my friends started dating, I'd see them always worry about the people they liked...

That's because they're young. They're worried that if they do the littlest thing wrong that things won't work out between them, and that if things don't work out it'll be the end of the world.

But little things don't matter, and if they do matter then you can resolve them by talking about it. And even if, for some reason or another, that relationship doesn't work out - you move on. You have plenty of time.

Hmm...I never thought about it that way.

[ Not that she's thought much about dating to begin with. ]

But you've got a point. I mean, you're far more experienced than I am...

I've dated more more people than you ever will unless you try very, very hard. Trust me on this.

[And don't try to outdo him.]

I can imagine...

[ Being alive for 600+ years? It's only natural that one would have dated so many people. ]

I guess I could give it a shot, though...it's just one date, right?

Just one date. Promise I won't pressure you into anything more than that - if you don't click, that's fine.

[but it would be great if you got married though]

[ CHERRYBLOD... ]

Well, okay. I'll do it.

[ Where is the harm? Besides, she'll also have bragging rights. ]

What's your daughter like, anyway? I know you mentioned having one, but I don't think you told me much about her.

My darling Lobco is kind and loyal. She's dedicated to her work and her family, and is one of the most reliable people you could ever turn to. She's sweet, if a little shy.

Unfortunately she's easily bullied, but I know you wouldn't hurt her.

O-Of course not!

[ She hasn't even met the girl or went out on a date with her, and already does she feel obligated to prove herself as a good candidate. Good going, Komaru. ]

But she really does sound like a nice girl, though. You must be really proud of her, huh?

[Komaru will do fiiiiine.]

Couldn't be more proud if I tried. I'm the luckiest father in the world to have such a wonderful girl.

I'm sure she's glad to have you as her father, too.

[ There's a faint sadness to her smile. She may have said she'll keep hope that her and Makoto's parents are still alive, but it doesn't make it any easier that she doesn't know their whereabouts or their conditions...but now's not the time for her to be getting sentimental over that. ]

I hope so.

[He does his best, anyway.

...The tinge of sadness doesn't go unnoticed, but what can he say to make her smile a little more genuine...]

Really, though, you don't have to date my daughter to be part of my family. ...If that's something you would like.

[ Ah...she'd been found out. Of course he'd notice - she doesn't know why she had been expecting otherwise, but that doesn't stop her from trying to deflect the issue, dismissing the subject with a sheepish laugh. ]

O-Oh, no, really, I'm fine! No need to worry about me. I mean, onii-chan's here, so I'm not lonely...

[ Even if she'd like nothing more than to go back to the days before the Tragedy, when she, her brother, and her parents were...a normal, happy family. ]

...Well, if that's so, then I'm glad you're alright.

[He doesn't quite believe her, but he doesn't think it's his place to push, either.]

[ She's glad that he won't push the issue, but just to make sure, she continues to force the most convincing smile she can muster. ]

Yeah, so, there's no need to worry about me whatsoever...!

[ SHE'S PERFECTLY OKAY. ]

Now, I wouldn't say that. I'm the fussing type, you can't tell me not to worry about my dear ones.

[Even if they are 'perfectly okay'.]

I guess I can't argue with that...

[ She's the same way...which kinda makes her a hypocrite. Worrying about others when they're hiding their feelings but hiding her own so that they won't worry about her. ]

[Oh good, they can both be hypocrites.

He reaches out to ruffle her hair.]

Good, good. An argument with you would be awful.
