Fifth Time - [action / locked to Ted Mosby / backdated to V-Day]

[losemycherry]

[Yamada arrives outside Ted Mosby's room a little after sunrise. Garbed in a wine-red silk chinadress, the girl also has a big red bow tied about her waist. She sits down lengthwise in the most coquettish pose she can manage in this clothing. When satisfied, she gives a quick knock on Ted's door.]

[teds_out]

[Uh bwuhat.... totally taken off guard here...... comes over to the door and opens






it



what is going on]

Hi.

[losemycherry]

Hi there, Ted~ Happy V-Day! <3

[teds_out]

[wh... why is there a skankily dressed girl saying happy valentine's day to him?


and then it occurs to him.

clenching a fist and looking away from Yamada:]

StinSOOOOON!

[losemycherry]

He did say you'd be lonely, but I was the one who decided to visit. After all, it's V-day. And I still have my V-card, which you can take...unless you don't want it.

[teds_out]

[Now that he's divulged in the necessary amount of theatrics, he turns back to the problem at hand.

Oh... god, how does he even DEAL with this?

He'll bare a grin, here.]

Thanks, um... what's your name?

[losemycherry]

[She blushes profusely. Hey, she's not immodest after all, and the realization that she's offered her purity without first offering her name causes her some embarrassment.]

Um...it's Yamada (family name withheld). Nice to meet you, Ted!

[teds_out]

[JAPANESE NAME. He could never pronounce those....]

It's nice to meet you too, Yamada.

[Pronounced Yeah-ma-dah. Sigh. Didn't she literally JUST say it, Ted?]

Sorry, but I'm not really... interested.

[Pauses... he guess he could be nice at least...]

But, you can come inside for a cup of coffee, if you'd like.

[losemycherry]

Sounds good to me!

[Yamada strolls past Ted and enters the room, flaunting her good looks. She has grievously misinterpreted the poor guy's invitation.]

[teds_out]

[Yep, and Ted doesn't have a clue. He closes the door behind her and heads right on over to his coffee machine while silently cursing Barney in his head.........]

How do you like it?

[losemycherry]

[She spins around to face Ted, her cheeks a deep red.]

Umm...I have no idea. I've never had it before. How about you? How do you like it, Ted?

[teds_out]

[.. Why.. is she saying it like that.]

I prefer a good espresso. [He looks over at her.] But if you want, I could get you something else instead.

[losemycherry]

[Seriously, he meant LITERAL coffee?!]

...

No, an espresso sounds nice right now.

[teds_out]

[Yeah, making that stuff right now. He's gotten pretty good at it, actually, and once he's done, he goes over, offering her a cup.]

Careful, it's hot. ... uh, sorry if I disappointed you, I guess. Barney always does this kind of stuff to me.

[Even when Ted's his loss, apparently.]

[losemycherry]

[Odds are Barney has found a loophole in his loss. He's a sorcerer, after all.]

Th...thank you.

[Yamada takes a tiny sip from the cup, and smiles in delight.]

It's good!

GOOD AT THIS.

[teds_out]

[He's both a little surprised and amused-- and, oh.]

That was the whipped cream.

[Wait until she tastes the bitter. Although the espresso definitely isn't horribly so, but there's not many people who like coffee on their first try...]

[losemycherry]

Whipped cream, huh?

[She doesn't seem to notice the bitter part.]

Ted, how long have you been in Paradisa?

[teds_out]

[There's a tiny part of him that always hates being asked that question. He'd like to think that he arrived just the other week, and that he hadn't accepted that he was here to stay for quite awhile, and that his lifelong passion hasn't been stolen from him-- permanently, it seemed, for as long as he stayed in the castle.]

Well, in two months... It'll be my anniversary since I got here.

[losemycherry]

Have you been with any women since then?

[teds_out]

[SPITTAKE.

STARES AT WILDLY.]

What?!

[losemycherry]

Did I say something wrong? Barney told me you'd be lonely today.

[Cue soft, sentimental music.]

The reason I came, Ted, is because I've been lonely too. Ever since I came to the castle, I've been looking for someone whom I can share the fun moments with. But nobody seems to want that with me.

[teds_out]

[..... is there actually music playing because he would be really weirded out castle. you need to stop fucking doing this to him.]

...And you thought showing up at my door in lingerie would solve that.

[losemycherry]

[There is actually music! But it stops with a riffing noise when Ted interrupts.]

...This is a dress. A dress! What exactly did you think was going on here, Ted?

[teds_out]

[CASTLE REALLY. Ted balks.]

But you were--

[TED STOP IT SHE IS A LITTLE GIRL. He raises his hands disarmingly in the air, careful not to spill any coffee.]

Okay, okay, sorry! But what's a guy supposed to think when a girl shows up like that and asks him about his private life out of the blue??

[losemycherry]

I'm sorry... I was just trying to be nice.

[Except not really.]

[teds_out]

[UGHHHNNN... fine ): stupid little girls being his weakness]

...yeah, sorry for jumping to conclusions, then. [Change of topic, go.] Huh, you're really liking that coffee, aren't you?

[losemycherry]

[She smiles gratefully.]

You bet! Tasty things like this are the best!

[teds_out]

[Wot. Ted gives her a look, then gives his coffee a look.

Then shrugs and drinks it.]

[losemycherry]

Sorry about this. Maybe I did get carried away here. The bow - was it too much?

[teds_out]

A little bit. You should just try wearing what you normally wear.

[A pause.]

Unless that's what you usually wear. In that case, uh... trying new things is always good!

[losemycherry]

A-haha, nah, I don't usually wear this kind of thing. It was just a special occasion kind of thing. You know, spirit of the holiday and everything, that's all.

[bro_codebreaker]

[aw, what's the matter, Ted, DON'T YOU LIKE YOUR OLIVE BRANCH?!]

[teds_out]

[BARNEY YOU DON'T REMEMBER HIM, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO PULL THE SAME CRAP YOU WOULD LIKE IF YOU DID REMEMBER HIM.]
