( open ) END OF THE YEAR SHIPPING HELL CMO POST 2015

[moes]

2015's almost over in just a few days, so let's go out with a bang! And by that, of course I mean it's time for the final shipping hell open roleplaying post of 2015. It's a do a whatever, whenever kind of post with no rules besides "if it fits, it ships" and honestly? I'm not too picky. ♥

I'm game for pretty much anything, whether it be general shipping or a little more than that. Even if we've never done a ship before, let's go! Assumed CR, AUs, what have you? That's all fine by me. I'm also willing to play out game CRAUs. Literally anything goes. If you want to try out a new ship, here's the place for the end of the year shebang.

And without further ado...

LEN'S GAGGLE OF LOSERS YOU CAN CALL UPON
... and if you're really stuck? Feel free to just leave an empty comment; I'll come up with something!

[ That... is an answer he wasn't expecting. He's quiet for a moment, wondering why nobody would play with her.

And then, he smiles. ]

If I win... the prize I want is to keep playing this game with you. And other games, too.

[8bytes]

... Really? Do you really mean that?

[keichan]

That's right. Even if I lose, I'll still claim that as my reward. So, you need to think of something else, or else it's not much of a victory for you.

[8bytes]

...

[ She puffs her cheeks, knitting her brow. ]

There's no rule that says I can't have the same reward. [ That's rude? Don't be rude. ] I won't lose because of that.

[ She has a reputation to uphold, after all! ]

[keichan]

[ Okay, with a face like that, he can't help but want to tease her a little bit. He might be weak against a cute face, but it also gives him lots of motivation to win, too. ]

Are you sure? Because you could make me take you out on a date, then still keep playing games with you anyway!

[ Okay, maybe that's what he was thinking his special prize would be. She's just too damn cute. ]

[8bytes]

[ Thankfully, Nanami easily falls for the bait... ]

I could really ask for something like that? I've never been on a date before... but I think it would be nice, if it means we can still play games.

[keichan]

[ He was hoping she'd get flustered or embarrassed and that he might be able to use that to his advantage... but this is pretty nice, too. ]

You still have to beat me first! You can decide on your prize then.

[ He won't lose on purpose, but... if going on a date with a cute girl is his punishment... ]

[8bytes]

[ Unfortunately for him, she doesn't get flustered that easily. Or at all, really. ]

... I'll win. I'll definitely win.

[keichan]

When you say it like that, it just reminds me how far behind I am...

[ Time for the next level, anyway. Maybe he needs a new strategy if he wants to stand a chance... maybe he should obliterate all of the cover in the level so that he's not the only one having to mind the incoming fire. ]

[8bytes]

Mmm, but you're not bad at this game either, I think...?

[ Though she seems to be clearing this level with ease, just like the ones before it. ]

[keichan]

Really? You think so? [ Considering his opponent, he thinks of that as high praise indeed. ] Alright! I'm definitely not letting up this time!

[ And he's doing pretty good this time! Of course, he lacks that computer-like precision, but this time, he almost keeps it close. ...Almost. ]

So, are we just gonna go until one of us runs out of lives? [ LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW WHO IT'S GOING TO BE. ]

[8bytes]

That's how it usually goes... or whoever has the highest score once all of the levels are clear if we keep our lives.

[keichan]

I've never made it that far... but I'm guessing you have, huh?

[ He's doing the "leaning to one side physically as he's avoiding the enemy shots" thing. He's a very animated player. ]

[8bytes]

I'm not the kind of gamer who talks about games she hasn't finished, you know.

[ So basically, yes. Yes, she has. ]

[keichan]

Well... then...

[ ARGH this is a tough one. He can't even hit that flying saucer thing flying along the top of the screen this time. ]

In that case... you're gonna get me through the rest of these levels some time, right?!? I'm not gonna rest until I'm a worthy opponent for you!

[8bytes]

... I don't mind. Sometimes I don't sleep if I want to complete a game.

[keichan]

You don't even go to sleep? Well, I wasn't thinking something that extreme... I'd probably fall asleep on you if we tried doing that...

[ Okay, there's part of him that likes the idea of falling asleep on a girl's shoulder or lap or something but that's because girls are soft and he's a frustrated, teenage boy. ]

[8bytes]

Mm.... Yeah. But if I'm doing other things besides games, sometimes I get sleepy. But I can play without sleep, no problem.

[keichan]

I guess that just means you like playing games a lot... even more than sleeping...

[ He looks at the screen, and... oh, yeah. There's not even enough points left in the game to come back from this. But then, he realizes something. ]

Hey... I don't even know your name yet. If I'm gonna be taking you on a date, I have to know what to call you, right?

[8bytes]

They don't call me the Super High School Level Gamer for nothing. [ Not that it actually means anything, in this world. ]

... Nanami Chiaki. That's my name. What's yours?
