Aww, maaaan ... this is so unfair! How'm I supposed to just come up with a date to this stupid dance at the last minute?

Usually these things aren't that exciting.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but - we gotta go, dude. With a date!

[taraxacumly.livejournal.com]

You don't have anyone to ask?

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Nah ... I don't really know too many girls here.

[taraxacumly.livejournal.com]

No friends that could help you out? I don't think it specified that you have to go with a girl.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Nah, I think everyone's already goin' with someone.

[taraxacumly.livejournal.com]

You're in luck, because I'm not.

There was someone I was going to ask, but she's not really good at these things, either. I wouldn't put it past her to find a way to ditch.

There's no help for it. Rather than courting starvation, desperate measures must be put into effect.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Uh ... what kinda desperate measures you talkin' about, dude?

[notjohnsmith]

Find someone who wouldn't qualify as an actual date and simply offer to escort them.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

You mean ... girls that aren't hot?

[notjohnsmith]

In my case, I am escorting someone in a big brotherly role. However, your interpretation would also technically be acceptable, although dangerous to admit to if you have any plans of actually securing a date.

So ... you're taking a kid to the dance? Isn't that kinda ... you know, weird?

[notjohnsmith]

Better than starving. Besides, it isn't as though this imouto-san is an exception to this cruel game, and someone has to look out for her and make sure that she gets enough to eat as well.
