Week 6

[grimgrinningghosts]

[. . . Well last week sure was a bloodbath. A bloody, accidental bloodbath. Even with two groups trying to save you, it might start to feel doubtful that you'll ever get out of here alive. Not to mention that Randy almost killed you all on an angry whim and you're still stuck in this madhouse with him of all people.

But hey, there's a silver lining to every cloud! You get a new floor that's not a nightmarish deathscape! Aren't you glad?

[nachosquire]

Marquito? Not even my parents call me that.

[Okay. It's a lot cuter than he expected it to be, if he's comparing it to a nickname.]

But in that case, is it... oh! Is it like "Hiro-chan" but shorter? Kind of?

[He may not know Japanese but he knows.. Some Things. Some Times.]

[upgradeit]

Yeah! But it's more . . . [What's the word he wants?] Cutesy? I guess?

[nachosquire]

[Hiro can just see Marco's eyes light up at guessing it right, and he gives him a wide grin.]

Then I'm totally gonna use it.

[You've just Doomed yourself, boy.]

But, like, when the moment actually calls for it so it doesn't get old.

[upgradeit]

[He already kind of regrets it, honestly, but it makes Marco happy so that's what matters.]

Now you have to give me one to use for you - it's only fair.

[nachosquire]

Oh.. uhh...

[Well hmm. There really isn't a lot you can do with the name "Marco", to be honest. Nothing really like Hicchan besides.. well yeah. The name Hiro already brought up and it'd feel like a cop out for him to just say "Marquito."

Sooo he'll think of something a little different, instead.]

How abouuuut... Bonito? Orrrr Cariño?

Mi Corazón?

[Marco says that last one in a smooth, low voice. Obviously trying to Seem Cool but it's Marco so. Y'know.]

[upgradeit]

I'm - I'm not calling you fishy! [Unlike pan, bonito means something completely different in Japanese.] What's cariño? Is it just bae in Spanish?

[He doesn't trust like that, Marco.]

[nachosquire]

[...fishy??]

Actually I think the closest thing we have to "bae" is.. bebé?

[well it means baby but whatever close enough]

But no, for your information Hicchan "cariño" is like calling someone "dear" or "sweetie" or "honey". It's, like, the Pet Names of Pet Names for both guys and girls.

[upgradeit]

[Hmmm. Okay. Yeah, he'll take it. He's not about to call Marco ~my heart~. He knows enough Spanish for that one, at least.]

Okay. Cariño, then.

[nachosquire]

[but is he not hiro's heart?????]

Good. I'm glad we could come to this agreement.

[Derailing their date just to discuss nicknames for like a half hour its nbd]

Now are we gonna go on this date or what?
