Soooo... I have an important question.

How do you ask someone who’s cool - and I mean really cool - to be your friend?

[Jun is neither cool nor great at making friends. Will that stop him? No. ]

Invite them to watch anime with you.

[That word... sounds familiar? But...]

what's anime?

un: hikari-vi

[whiteshroud]

They're animated shows from Japan.

Think of your uncle's telenovellas but with moving drawings instead of rats.

un: Mariposa

[nonmagical]

Oh! That sounds very cool! Maybe she would like that...

[whiteshroud]

Then you should ask her to watch it with you! I can recommend some good starter animes for you.

I mean I don't doubt you're cool but I'm talking about a girl in my school's art club!

[restinglichface]

[lup can feel the lsjdlajdlasj from here and she loves it.]

oooh tell ur girl more
whats she like

[nonmagical]

Well she's like, AMAZING AT ART. Her stuff is so much better than what I do? She makes something called a "webcomic" and I looked online and it's like... a bunch of pictures but they tell a story and it's super cool?? She's also really fashionable and really smart!

[She's got a small girl crush but doesn't know it yet.]

If you're unsure of where you stand, you could just ask them!

But if the forward approach isn't for you, I guess you could ask them out to do something. Friends are best made over a good meal, after all. The stomach is the quickest way to anyone's heart.

[nonmagical]

I guess I could. What if she's not interested in being friends?

Oh! Um. Maybe dinner somewhere! I could get to know her better and what she likes!

[bingos]

Well! Being friends is just as much about your feelings or theirs. Even if you didn't ask they'd decline doing something with you if they didn't enjoy your company, right?

Ask her about her favorite kinds of food or if she's wanting to try something! Ah, but if money's an issue there's always meeting in something like a park or a mall. Just strolling around a place and talking about what you see can be fun.

[nonmagical]

That's true...

I don't have a lot of money, so maybe I could invite her out to the mall for sure. I'd really like to get to know her!

Is someone trying to ask to be your friend, mija?

[Julieta thinks her daughters are awesome, okay?]

text, un: Mariposa

[nonmagical]

Well... actually, I'm trying to ask to be her friend...

Text;

[pan_acea]

I see, then just ask, Mira. You are very ah- cool too.

Text;

[nonmagical]

But she's REALLY cool. What if she says no? I would literally pass out from embarrassment.

[So dramatic!!]

I have no advice here since my friends growing up were just the rest of the Fucking Weirdos (read: the not-straight kids) but go fight win offer food?

Text, un: Mariposa

[nonmagical]

A lot of people have said trying food and I think I’m going to go with that. I’m normally pretty good about making friends but with this girl it’s different.

[drewthetower]

food works 90% of the time lbr

lemme know if you need something made

[Honey it's a date.]

[nonmagical]

I'm gonna try making arepas for her, but if you got ideas I'd be glad to try them?

[Totally a date.]

[ Lol here's your cousin wearing a shit-eating smirk. ]

Mira, I know we're family first, but we're already friends~

[nonmagical]

[He can probably hear her verbal keysmashing from here.]

I MEAN THE GIRL FROM ART CLUB!!

[camaleonico]

"Girl from art club?" Who?

[ Camilo's out of the loop, not in attendance at school yet himself, but his curiosity is intensely piqued now... ]

[nonmagical]

Her name is Ariana? She's like amazing at art, and has her own... brand of art online? And it's popular? And she's just, so amazingly awesome I want to get to know her better!

[She's gushing a bit, a little like... how she would over one of her family members. But this time there's a different energy to Mirabel - surely the girl who can make friends pretty easily wouldn't be so shy about making friends, right?]
