First Date with plugsuited
It had been a long time since Gaius had seen Asuka, and the apocalypse hadn't exactly been kind to her or her world view. Still life in other worlds and dimensions goes on, and she wasn't currently in the hell-scape that her reality had become. He hoped that a casual date with an attractive stranger might be just the thing to get her out of her slump, and who better than him? Okay, so maybe she had more reason to be bitter and jaded than he did, but his life wasn't exactly peaches and roses, and he knew a thing or two about apocalyptic settings himself.
So what better way to forget about your worries and your strife?The bear necessi-? Pizza! If there's one thing that Gaius had grown to love about living in a world that's a nexus between worlds, it was the cuisine. The candy is dandy, and the sweets are a treat, but some of the culinary inventions of Earth certainly blow away what he had back home. It just so happened that this little arcade and pizza place simply called 'fun palace' was a relic of Earth's from some point in time that found its way here, so here is where their date would take place.
"It might look a little silly, but it does live up to its name of being fun." Sometimes a little silliness was needed when all you had to look forward to was the doom and gloom of what your life had waiting for you back home. Maybe if she was lucky she might find a way to stay with him and avoid the bleak timeline she was trapped in, or maybe she felt duty bound to return at some point, it was hard to say. For the time being he was escorting her through the door so that she could see it wasn't exactly a kid's arcade. There were a few teenagers yes, but most of the crowd actually was at the bar, or the roller rink in the far corner. The arcade section of the establishment had a decent chunk of games with a few patrons, but the majority seemed to find interest in other attractions.
For the time being Gaius ignored these and took Asuka to have a seat with him at one of the dinner tables. "I like to come here from time to time when I'm feeling down, so I figured this might be a good place for our date. Besides, who doesn't like pizza?"
