Whaaaat? Who goes to a karaoke bar and doesn't sing!?

[Ango should have guessed that Hubert would be the pretentious type of goth who listens to obscure European bands from the 80s that nobody (or at least not a karaoke system in a second-tier northern Japanese city) has heard of.]

Come on, they've probably got something from The Cure at least.

[pegasinister]

[He takes a sip of his drink, smirking around the rim before replying in a slightly sing-song tone that certainly ISN'T actually singing but is just enough to suggest he could, if he wanted to.]

I would say I'm sorry if I thought that it would change your mind~

[He then laughs deeply]

You certainly have NOT earned The Cure from me, Ango. I'm here as an observer, nothing more.

[darknesshotpot]

[Ughhh. Hubert's probably a really good singer, too, which totally defeats the purpose of dragging him to karaoke.]

An observer? What's that supposed to mean? Don't tell me singing is going to be on my annual performance review. Come on, man, you're hanging out with your dateless coworkers on Valentine's Day - you're no better than the rest of us losers, so have a beer and sing your heart out.

[pegasinister]

Yes an observer. Or perhaps the better term would be 'babysiter'? Anyone here isn't at the office, plotting. Though I suppose I can't watch everyone... that is what the extra cameras are for.

[Hubert. Hubert plz what is it you are expecting a bunch of loveless losers to do]

As for dates, I wasn't attempting to have one, so this is just another day for me.

[darknesshotpot]

[Wait, cameras? Ango wouldn't put it past Hubert to have bugged the entire DU... the question is, how far does his surveillance reach? The break room and the water cooler are certainly under his control by now - no wonder Hubert didn't fall for his totally-legit-and-not-at-all-poisoned gift of Valentine's chocolates.

But the worst part of Ango's chocolate-making plot is that Ruby didn't actually rule out Hubert as a candidate for Ai's secret boyfriend... maybe he's only here now as a ruse to throw Ango off his trail!

Damn it, if he's going to date Ai, then at least he oughta treat her right!]

Just another day!? A guy like you doesn't deserve to have a secret girlfriend! You've at least gotta take her out someplace nice!

[pegasinister]

[He laughs]

A secret girlfriend? My, my Ango, you seem VERY invested in my love life. Is there something you are trying to tell me?

... though I suppose if I WAS seeing someone, no one would know...

[Okay now he's just playing into it]

[darknesshotpot]

The idea that somebody like you has a love life is so delusional that it's gotta be a threat to the stability of the Dream Sphere, and threatening the balance of reality is my job.

[The only thing keeping Ango from spiraling into another Disturbance is the knowledge that Hibiki will be there to punch him back to the real world.]

[pegasinister]

[Okay that actually seems to annoy him, actually breaking his smug amusement]

Delusional? I certainly have no issue finding companionship when I'm in the mood for it.
