⭐ Who: Ai and you!
⭐ When: End of May through July
⭐ Where: Various prompts around Yumemigaoka and the Dream Sphere
⭐ What: An Ai catchall for the next month! After a suspiciously well timed vacation out to Hokkaido, Ai's back in Yumemigaoka and ready to catch up on everything she missed. I'm also down for doing closed/private prompts so hit me up on Discord if you'd like to plan something!

[The very serious way she talks about "imagining is your magic" would be absolutely ridiculous if it wasn't also completely true. Shu feels a little flush in his face of embarrassment at being the center of an adult's attention, of getting a pep talk from The Ai-Doll. He keeps it together, though. Barely.]

You're not really helping the argument against calling you "sensei" when you suggest things like field trips,

[He teases with a playful glint in his eyes, trying to get his cool guy act back together.]

Well, what else do you wanna call it? It's just a shame we can't pack bentos and take snapshots to show off to everybody back home, huh?

[ That's what you do on field trips, right? She's never been on one herself but Aqua and Ruby have excitedly recounted theirs to her enough times that she feels like she's got a solid enough idea of what it's like. ]

I have a couple old trainees who've graduated out from practicing with me and I'm sure they'd be totally down to come along with us if you wanted to go out for some practice. How's that sound?

[breezyplayboy]

Man, I wish we could take bentos just in general.

[Mind you he would be bringing a prepackaged or a takeout one, rather than making his own, probably, but still. He smiles, a little understated for still being slightly intimidated.]

Getting a chance to watch and learn from Ai-Doll herself? Who would say no?

[liedol]

Alright then. It's a deal!

[ She holds out a hand to shake and seal it – but then after a pause, something seems to click and she laughs. ]

Actually, hold on a second – I'm getting way ahead of myself! I didn't even get your name, huh?

[breezyplayboy]

[He flushes a very embarrassed shade of red and bows politely.]

Where are my manners! I'm sorry! I'm Dreamer Cerulean.

[Should he also... give his real name???]

[liedol]

Dreamer Cerulean... I'll make sure to remember that!

[ spoiler alert: she will not. she's getting better with faces, but names will always be a lost cause. ]

Once we're back at the DU, I'll get things arranged. Are you already at Promised Morning, or did you stay at your old school? I'll make sure to work out a time you'll be free.

[breezyplayboy]

[That's..... fine....... She'll remember his name eventually if they keep working together. Gak. Colleagues with Ai.]

I just transferred to Promised Morning. It was pretty efficient once you start the process.

[It makes sense they'd try to make it easy, but he was still impressed.]
