Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-27346571-20170728215310/@comment-30014014-20170729044242

(This limiter thing I've seen happening here and here is kind of a double edged blade. On one side, if done correctly, does indeed spark something vibrant from people. Hell, I've done a fair share of responses from a pretty ordinary guy pov because it's fun, again, if done right. It's surprising what people can come up from something happening by a regular-in-training man of woman.

The other side, however, is that many coud see it as a forced funnel to one answer if done incorrectly. Judging by how Aro feels in this one in particular, it would seem you went slightly overboard with limiting certain things. If a guy has no issues, that is not an interesting thing either. THe two extremes aren't fun. With that said, here's the bit I'd throw)

Once again, hank is surrounded by yet another botched wedding. Once again, it would seem that he would be treated to the same things: people getting to 'know' each other in broad daylight while he skulked in the back.

"I gotta stop going to these..." he complaints as he puts on the gas mask he brought with him ever since the first event turned to something like what he was witnessing. Hank had never been a groom type of man. Really, it looked like his buddies had invited him simply to get him to 'mingle' around. Of course, he was never interested. Well, he was but...

Watching his friends getting it on with their respectives wives, lovers, girlfriends and fiancees, he shakes his head as he puts his hoodie on, preparing to leave. It's not like any of them would interest him anyway...

"Walking away again?" a voice resonates amidst the noise. HIs head turns to the direction of the voice, a lich adorned with glasses, sporting a flat expression, returning the stare.

Eloise...someone he had always seen in every mishaps he was witnessed to. Always sitting on her own. Afflicted by said cloud, but never acting. Perhaps she was waiting for a prime target? Regardless...

"Yea, what of it?" spits Hank, his back still facing her "I didn't come here to have a one-night stand!"

"Well..." she says while walking to a nearby chair, still branded with the same flat expression "...perhaps this is some sort of sign for you. That maybe, you should settle down at one point".

"Nice try", he throws back, holding a sarcastic laughter "Maybe you should just take one of these unshackled boys over here instead of the one guy seeking a way out"

"What makes you think I'm here for a quicklie?" she replies to him, an unusual interest in their conversation "You don't see me jumpin on someone, are you?"

Hank lets out a small laughter, turning his head in front "Get off with your pretention to seeking more. We both know monsters just want to get their claws to someone and make him their. This whole thing happening is just another way to give yourselves excuses..."

"And yet, I haven't done anything yet, have I?" Her head nudges to the left as to conforim her response. Her hands bracketed together, she takes an idle pose, sporting no way to introduce a sudden action.

"Yea, you're probably just thinking of a way to get poor Hank under your foot. I gotta admit, you're pretty persistance at this little game. And frankly..." he swiftly turns around to face her, a resigned look in his eyes "...I'm getting tired of this charade. Everytime, you just speak those words. IN every situation like this, always trying to wear me down. You want me to be some sort of slave to your desire, you got it! Go ahead and bring me down, I don't care anymore!"

As to demonstrate his resignation, Hank rips off his mask, exposing himself to the ambient toxicity around them. Eloise, a bit shocked by his sudden heel turn, did proceed to walk toward him...

...only to clamper her hand on his nose and mouth, putting him at shock. With an exubiration of the typical monster strength, Eloise proceeds to pull the man out of the range of said DE way before it starts to have a hold on him. Another garden, devoid of the fumes is where he is brought, to sit on the nearest bench. Eloise sits by his side, taking a look at him "You alright?"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Hank grinced in disdain, unabel to believe her decision to pull him out instead of simply taking him "Trying to break me the ol' fashion way?"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Her head shakes, a definite no "Perhaps I simply want to get to know the man who always makes himself miniscule. WHat good would a desire-riddled slave do for me?"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Well, he wouldn't speak back to you, to begin with..." says the man flattly.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Exactly why I'm not interested in one" she rebuts, delivering those words with a slightly colder line, grabbing hold of his attention.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Hank looks at her with a mixture of confusion and something ressembling a profound respect, maybe more. Maybe was it because she happened to be a lich, but Eloise, if branded with the same desire for a man's SE as any other monster, certainly was not acting up to it. "OK...ok. You have my attention You clearly want something from me. Ask away, it'S not like I'll be going away, with this whole cloud thing still up and kicking"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Alright, what would I need to do to get your time? As in, quality time?"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"That's your demand? Really?" questions Hank, again, unable to believe her.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Yes. Answer me". Her voice was direct, to the point.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Well, maybe if you asked--

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Hank, would you like to go out with me?" asked Eloise, leaving no time for his answer. She knew precisely this was his big issue.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">He looked at her in confusion. A laughter escapes his teeth, one unable to be muffled away "YOu can't be serious. All this time, you've been staring at me, speaking in cryptic ways just to ask for a date. You're weird for a monster, do you know that?"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"AM I really? I like to think that I practice common courtesy. It's not so rare among us monster, you know? Some may resote to more...radical tactics, but mostly out of desperation, not malice". Her eyes convay honesty, one devoid of any hidden malice.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"I see..." he whispers, thinking to himself. Hank had to admit, maybe he had avoided monsters for too long. Avoiding Eloise for too long. »To think it took some sort of trap to get him to realize that "Sure, I'll go out with you. You got me in every way possible. Best thing to do is to accept defeat,am I right?"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Well, let's call this a premature end to the match, alright?" she asks him, taking hold of his arm.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Alright, alright" he conceides, chuckling a bit "Tell me, victor, where would you like to go first?"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Well..."

<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Years later, a walk among the plains not far from town. Feet unhinibited by shoe wears amply feeling the grass underneath. THe pair enjoying the view stops atop a small mountain, taking in the grand sight of the plains. A ring adornes the pale woman's finger, helded by the man who took her as his wife, a familiar pair of glasses.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"See, I told you this place was the best for a sightseeing" she says, sporting a smile on her cheeks.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Indeed, I guess that makes you yet again the victor" responds the man, savoring each seond of his hug from the back, loking down at her.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Her eyes goes to meet his, still smiling gently "Maybe so, but none as grandiose as the first time we came here". One of her hand meets his cheek in a soothing manner " Now you can say I've wore you down, did I not?"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Of course, of course" he agrees, never the less glad for it "BUt I'm not complaning"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"And that makes it the sweeter " she ends, turning face to him for a kiss...
