BIG QUESTION TIME

[love_doc]

You call in sick once and this is what you get stuck doing for weeks.



Keigo, Ryou, Wakashi - let’s go see the cherry blossoms for their last glorious hurrah



Everybody: In the age of social media the focus of how we interact with others is changing.
Have you ever or would you consider using a dating app? And if yes what are you/would you be looking for - a quick hook-up (I'm looking at you Hirakoba) or a long-term partnership?

Probably not. I don't feel like I need one. If I find someone attractive, I'll come out and say it.

For example, Oshitari, you are quite handsome.

[love_doc]

Why, thank you Yukimura-han. Yours is of course the kind of beauty and confidence that would launch a thousand ships ~

But what would you do if none of the people you were surrounded by sparked and interest? Aside from leading the professional jet set life of course.

[gtl_yukimura]

I'm immensely flattered.

Sexual interest or interest in general? If the latter, I'd surround myself with new people. If the latter, I'd be fine. I don't need a person to satisfy me. Eventually someone would probably come along.

[love_doc]

It's only the truth of course.

I like your attitude. Being satisfied with yourself is important.

[cumsquik]

Are you filling a fake arm with blood??

And why not? Does it really matter how you meet someone? People are just people either way.

[love_doc]

It’s transfusion practice Kamio-kun. It’s just one of the many ardourus and frankly boring things nurses have to be able to do.

Well, at least for older generations there still seems to be stigma attached to having met a partner online. As if they were unable to find somebody the regular way. And what would you be looking, something long term or just some fast fun?

[cumsquik]

I hope you're not using real blood for practice. Isn't it rare?

I don't think it's a good idea to look for something specific when meeting someone. Isn't it more interesting to figure out who they are than what they're not? If you're busy trying to slot them into or keep them out of your life, then you're not really in the rhythm

[love_doc]

Blood itself isn't rare - blood donated for transfusion however sadly is. But rest assured, we do not use the real stuff.

And that is a very good attitude to have Kamio-kun.

[legally_blond]

... What on earth are you doing in that picture?


And I've used dating apps before. I don't think I need to answer the second part of your question, Oshitari-kun.

[love_doc]

Transfusion practice - it’s actually more than just sticking a needle in your arm surprisingly..


Indeed - and how successful were your endeavours?

[legally_blond]

But not interesting enough to do for weeks?

They were a mixed bag, as dating always is. I dated a few guys a few times in a row before they got annoying. And others I just had to bail out of the moment I met them.

[love_doc]

No, sadly not. After a few days you develop a routine. And I wasn't even allowed to practice on real patients.

So, would you recommend it?

[legally_blond]

I would have thought that once you were competent at it, you'd be allowed to use real patients...


Ah... it depends on what you're looking for from it. For finding someone to go out with when I need to amuse myself? It's fine. Sometimes it's nice knowing what to half-expect rather than just hoping you meet someone decent while out? But if for some reason you're looking for a long term relationship.... I probably wouldn't recommend it?

[love_doc]

I had to wait until they were sure I wasn't infectious any longer.

Are there particular hashtags or trigger words you use when searching or do you just go by profile pics?

[legally_blond]

Infectious with what?

I mostly just go off appearance. I'm not expecting some kind of deep conversation with them. I just need to find them visually appealing and that they're not a complete asshole.

[love_doc]

What do you think?

And what is your usual prey traget range?

[legally_blond]

... I don't really want to think about it.

Just someone in their 20s. That meets my specific requirements for their gender.

[love_doc]

The flu, you terrible, terrible man.

And what requirements would those be?

[legally_blond]

Are you feeling better now?

Haha, why so curious, Oshitari-kun? Are you going to try and find nice partners for me to go on dates with?

[love_doc]

Yes - though my brain might begin to drip out from my ears due to boredom soon.

Maybe I will~

[legally_blond]

Is there any way I can I be of service to your no longer infectious self?


So thoughtful. I like girls that are cute and nice to cuddle. Bonus points if they have a good fashion sense.

[bana_an_na]

I will be sure to look for if I ever need to get blood drawn. I'm sure you're an excellent vein finder after so much practice. :b

I've never really considered downloading a app for that but I don't think it's a bad option for some people.

[love_doc]

I am indeed. Actually the process of finding a place to get blood in or out of the body is not that different.

And what kind of people would consider it suitable for?

[bana_an_na]

Doesn't sound to different.

Sometimes people find themselves in situations where they can't easily meet people or maybe find finding romance through an app to be a better fit.

[love_doc]

It's all about getting the needle in the vein really.

Under what circumstances would you consider using one then An-chan?

[bana_an_na]

Only out of curiosity maybe.

I have a few friends that have dating apps but they haven't had much luck.


I prefer in person conversation.

[love_doc]

That's a pity. What are your friends looking for? Maybe we would have more luck ~

[sanada_g]

There are apps for dating? That seems odd.

[love_doc]

I didn’t know you had tattoos Sanada-han - how far down do they go?

[sanada_g]

I don't. Yukimura painted them on me for some art project he was doing.

[love_doc]

Well he did a wonderful job - but how far do they go down?

[sanada_g]

As far as they needed to for the project. Why?

[love_doc]

Idle curiosity

[sanada_g]

The one for this icon was focused on the shoulders and arms. He did one on my back before. That went quite low down.

[love_doc]

I would love to see these masterpieces

[sanada_g]

Ask Yukimura.

[worldofice]

Perhaps, but I refuse to join mass crowds. You must find a suitable spot sufficiently expensive less frequented by the hoards.

[love_doc]

Have I ever disappointed you, Keigo

[worldofice]

Must we discuss the model you brought to school once again?

[love_doc]

I put all my blood, sweat and tears into that - I have you know

[worldofice]

Administration was short staffed for weeks afterwards. I had to take my own notes during student council.

[ever_yanagi]

I used to use an app for dates, but now I can simply use this social media platform. They're mostly just that-- dates. I'm not looking for an epic romance.

[love_doc]

Why not, Yanagi-han? Though i suppose it would take some of the spontaneity to look for it.

[dontgiveafox]

I'm already in a long term relationship

[love_doc]

Congratulations. Who might your lucky partner be?
