So....now what

[traumprinzen]

I finally had to talk to my costar about his unwillingness to do romantic scenes with me. I got our agents involved as well. My agent speaks fluent German so it was for the best. Because he could translate me as I found all the things I wanted to say I could not say in Japanese. I need to work harder on expanding all the words I know.

He says it is because he does like me. He is attracted to me. He does not want to do those scenes with me because he wishes for it to be real, and doing it as acting is painful for him. He says maybe if I was to go out with him, it would be easier. I do not wish for things to be difficult. But I do not know if I like him like that. But to help the show, I suppose I can at least go to a movie or the amusement park with him. But I do not want to lead him along.

I do not know what to do.

Oh. I'm sorry, that's awful. Perhaps go on a date with him, and see if you enjoy it? But if you don't like him, then don't force yourself to do anything. Tell him that's it's both of your jobs and that by not being convincing, he's ruining the show's chemistry.

Sounds like he's trying to blackmail you. Don't go out with him if you don't want to, man! The unwillingness is on his head, not yours. If he can't get his act together and do his job, that's his problem.

[traumprinzen]

I do not wish to make trouble though. I am still very new at acting. It has only been a year and this is my third role. Something like this has happened before though. When I was first modeling. My manager would set me up so that famous people could have someone good looking for red carpet appearances.

[findingrhythm]

The thing with your manager sounds different than this. Maybe I'm wrong...but this guy is trying to make it look bad on you if you don't go out with him. If he really liked you, wouldn't he be trying to help you instead of putting you in a corner?

[traumprinzen]

I suppose. My manager had me do many things I did not want to do which is why I have a new one now. I do not think you are wrong, but I do not know what to do about it.

[findingrhythm]

Good thing you have a new one.

I still say leave him out to dry...but if you really can't...make it a double date? Invite someone you trust to come with. They can make sure it stays unromantic and that the dude doesn't try anything weird!

After that, if he won't do his part, you've done everything you could.

[traumprinzen]

A double date? This sounds like the best option. Would you like to go?

[findingrhythm]

Me?????

Sure! I can find a fake date. And I'm great at killing romantic moods! Don't wanna brag but it's kind of my specialty.

[traumprinzen]

WHy not you. You are very smart and came up with this. Also, do you speak German? It might help make things awkward for him if I speak the entire time in my native tongue but I do not wish to kepe a friend out of the loop.

[findingrhythm]

Wow. You're probably the first person in the world to ever call me smart.

I can pretend to speak German! Teach me a few words and I'll just repeat them.

(ooc: strikes deleted)

[traumprinzen]

I will teach you as many words as I can. I think you will learn faster than I learned Japanese.

[findingrhythm]

I'LL DO MY BEST!!

Google: How to speak German

(ooc: strikes deleted)

[traumprinzen]

I will contact you when it is time. Until then, I will give you lessons. We can start with easy things. Like swearing and food. And swearing about food.

[findingrhythm]

I like swearing! I like food! Sounds like a great lesson plan, Krauser-sensei!

[traumprinzen]

First lesson. You can call me Liliadent. I do not mind this at all. I will probably call you Akira without realizing it. I still have many European habits such as this.

[findingrhythm]

Okay, Liliadent Teacher! You can call me Akira! Not many people do, because it's a very common name.

(ooc: Poor Liliadent. His name is going to get absolutely slaughtered)

[traumprinzen]

It is a good name I think. I will be happy to call you Akira.  [ooc: me thinks Liliadent had a LOT of fun on the "double date" and got along well with Kamio lol]

[findingrhythm]

Really? Thank you!

(ooc: XD Kamio would've continued to call him Liliadent-teacher. And he would've basically shouted out all of the German words he learned at random. But he spoke the truth when he said he's great at killing chemistry. Least sexy date ever! But lots of fun with Liliadent :DDD)
