Hey everyone!

First of all, welcome to all the new arrivals! Seems like we had a really big group this time. I'm sorry you got dragged into all of this.

Anyway, my name's Elliot. I'm a musician and a healer. If you're interested in music lessons, I offer private and group lessons for violin, piano, guitar, recorders, harmonica, or singing. It's always a good time to learn, and the first lesson's free! Oh and don't worry if your monster changes might complicate things, we'll find a workaround! Just let me know if you're interested.

Finally, for most of my stay here, I've been studying how to heal Cwyld infections under the Coven's infirmary. I've gotten pretty far...but I can only see so many people. So...I want to offer lessons to teach people what I've learned. I'm only allowed to teach methods that the Coven will approve of me sharing, but they should be effective at healing new or mild infections!

Unfortunately only witches will be able to do the techniques. Not only that, it's pretty tough stuff to learn and if it goes wrong it can lead permanent damage. So anyone who wants to learn will have to prove they're capable with alchemy and enchantments first. Sorry.

Anyway...let me know if you're interested, I guess.

[OOC: Sign ups for music lessons can be found here. Most lessons will be handwaved unless you want to hatch out a specific thread]

I wasn't implying that! Momo-chan seems like a very upstanding boy.

[And he means that sincerely. Considering Elliot's favorite music partner is An Actual Terrorist, it's a little hard to meet his standards of "deviant"]

What would you like to do if we went out?

[yesdoubt]

Why do I always have to be a boy and not a man... (´•ω•`๑)

[when you're 26 and at least one mirrorbound has asked if you're old enough to drink]

Hmm...
We could go to a music shop so you're comfortable to begin with!
And then I could drag you to a clothes shop and find you some stuff to push your boundaries a little with ٩(｡•ω•｡)و

[fiddlestick]

Haha, sorry. You just have a youthful energy about you!

[Says the 20 year old.]

Right, okay...

And what kind of clothes are you thinking would push my boundaries?

[yesdoubt]

Well, it's good to look young for work!
But everyone knows how old I am back home, so it never really came up there (´•ω•)

[At work, he's been an industry senior for a while now, so it's a bit of a strange contrast.]

Hmm~~
Maybe some of the stuff they were selling in the Underground? (´꒳`∗)

[Revealing ones, in other words.]

[fiddlestick]

That's pretty lucky, back home I mean. [Says Elliot, that routinely gets mistaken for being younger than he is] I can see why people's misunderstanding here would feel weird

[Elliot has to think a moment about the underground stuff. Oh yeah he guesses it was pretty revealing...]

Haha, sure. If you can find a store here that sells that stuff.

So...to be clear, is this just hanging out or a date?

[yesdoubt]

There you go again trying to make me out like some deviant!!
Momo-chan's no cheater! ヽ(｀○´)/
Dressing up in revealing clothes together is just how idols bond~!

[He shares shady photos of his revealingly-clothed kouhai with Yuki, so it's clearly fine and not cheating.]

[fiddlestick]

[Oh boy that's quite a rejection. Elliot feels a spike of anxiety and panic]

Sorry that wasn't my intent!

[HE WAS ASKING SINCERELY]

So you and Yuki ARE dating? Not just music partners?

[yesdoubt]

[Momo initially read it as a joke, since jokes like that about how he approaches people are very common back home and the faux offense comes naturally in response.

However, the follow-up question pings him that it might've been sincere, and now he feels kind of bad.]

It's not

[He accidentally thumbs that to sending when his last night brain catches up with him and oh yeah, actually, it is like that now.]

um
actually i think we are now??? ヾ( 〃ω〃)ｯ
back home the husbands stuff was part of our act and idols can't date anyway
so i thought you were joking
sorry if i sounded harsh (´๑・⌓・｀)

[Momo is the Dramatic One between him and Yuki when it comes to stage matters, so it often seems excessive outside of it.]

[fiddlestick]

[....]

That sounds a little complicated.
But I'm happy for you two!

[Idol culture sounds wild and there's a lot to unpack but he's just...not gonna question it right now.]

It's okay, I misread things.
I just wanted to clarify so there wasn't an awkward misunderstanding later.
But I guess I failed on that front.

[Yep. Definitely wants to crawl into a hole right now]

[yesdoubt]

Ehehe~
I'm happy you're happy (´∇ﾉ｀*)ノ

It's fine, it's fine!
Everyone I know at home is so used to this sort of stuff from Yuki and I that literally nobody takes it seriously, so sometimes I forget that people here will (ヾ;￣▽￣)ヾ
So that was on me as well~~

[Momo is endlessly chill about this sort of thing, at least.]

[fiddlestick]

Right, okay...

Well, I'd like to go out with you sometime!
But can we put a raincheck on it?
I just remembered I'm going to be pretty busy the next few days.

[That's a lie. But he feels so embarrassed he misread things that he wants to die for awhile]

[yesdoubt]

Sure! I'll probably be busy the next few days too since Yuki's settled in a bit more now, so I can start doing more work again ╭( ･ㅂ･)و )))

[He knows Yuki doesn't like him being the breadwinner of the household, but he's still going to do it.]

But we'll figure something out eventually~!
Or maybe I'll just surprise you (ﾟ艸ﾟ`)

[fiddlestick]

Haha, alright.

Well then I'll see you when I see you!
Even if that last part sounds ominous...

[yesdoubt]

Whaaat~?
Momo-chan isn't ominous at all (◕‿◕✿)

[why are there suddenly violins screeching in the background]

[fiddlestick]

Uh huh. Riiight.
