failed private video;

[cutiepanther]

[ After explaining to Nico in Nozomi's body that she wants to try to fix things between them, Maki's taking another step in that direction. Except, this video was DEFINITELY just meant for Nico, and not everyone else! ]

Look Nico, I have something to say to you, so can you just watch this without getting mad at me for two seconds?

[ Already Maki is starting off sounding a little haughty, and difficult herself, but that's how she is. ]

W-We're not so different, you know? We both like music and dancing, and we both try pretty hard in what we do. W-What I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry for making it sound like I was judging you back at the hot springs. It's obvious you try pretty hard. ...Even if you are pretty shameless when it comes to dancing naked, back at the hot springs.

[ Why is this so hard...Maki's full on red now. ]

I just want us to be... friends. O-Or at least civil with each other! Is that so difficult?

That's all I wanted say. Just don't get the wrong idea here, or anything, okay?!

[ Blushing and awkwardly trying to avoid the subject of just what Maki could be thinking there, she shuts off the video and posts it, forgetting to make sure it only sends to Nico.. ]

Don't worry, I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding.

[Helpful friend is helpful!]

[cutiepanther]

C-Chie?! [ No chie was definitely not supposed to see this, seeing a side of Maki that she tries to pretend doesn't exist. She's a cool and calm person, not an embarrassing mess who doesn't know how to make friends.. ]

D-Did I forget to make that private?

[footprints_on_your_face]

[Maki, that ship sailed long ago. Chie's seen the embarrassing mess side of her plenty of times by now, like at dance class or when her Fletchling hatched.]

Uh... yeah, looks like it.

I'm gonna go on record as saying naked hot springs dancing is probably the last thing a friendship or potential friendship should end over.

Naked dancing in other contexts, maybe, but not that.

[cutiepanther]

W-Well now that everyone knows she did that I'm pretty sure she's going to blow up and yell at me again anyway..

[celebrity_commentator]

Hey, people make mistakes. That was a really heartfelt confession there, I'm sure she'll understand.

[kakuto]

I'm sure she will forgive you, Maki! Even with the naked dancing.

[she's helping.]

[cutiepanther]

Wait, I wasn't naked, she was! A-And that's not the most important part of this!

[ God, why is everything so difficult for Maki when it comes to other people. ]

This was just meant for her to see!

[kakuto]

Oh. Oops...

[That's embarrassing.]

At least she won't miss the message!

[crimsonspearit]

Huh. Didn't think you were bold enough to ask someone to dance naked or anything like that.

[Look, it's one of Maki's favorite people!]

[cutiepanther]

I didn't ask her to dance at all, she was just trying to show off! The naked part isn't important to the context!

[ Why did she even mention that...why did she even send this for everyone to see?! ]

S-Stop making it sound worse than it is!

[crimsonspearit]

Doesn't sound like you had any objections, though.

[Smiiiirk.]

Hey, you're the one who broadcast it.

[faithfulflame]

Maki-san...you know...things happen at the hot springs that shouldn't happen anywhere else. That's part of the beauty of them.

[cutiepanther]

I didn't mean to tell anyone else about it! She already hates me as it is..

[faithfulflame]

Well, no, that's not what I meant. I meant more that it's okay to do things like that there.

[Video]

[nicocism]

[One-one-thousand, two-one-thous- NOPE]

Could you at least have said this in private?! Why would you tell everyone about that!?

[cutiepanther]

[ So not fair! Maki tried, and she's honestly feeling so attacked right now! ]

Do you think I didn't mean to send this to you privately!? It's embarrassing for me too, you know!

[Video]

[deadlydango]

Heh. And what wrong idea is it we're not supposed to get? Because naked dancing sounds like fun. Hot springs too.

[cutiepanther]

T-That was just supposed to be for Nico! I-I didn't mean to send it to everyone!

[ By the way she's panicking, it's pretty clear she's not lying. ]

Private reaction. 1/???. Ala the two old guys from the Muppets.

[future_sight]

Oh my, did she just..?

[omg Eri come here you have to see this the babies are making a spectacle of themselves.]

2/????

[erichika]

Oh no! Is this what you were talking about?

[Audio]

[umiiroshoujo]

You watched someone dance naked?!

[cutiepanther]

Why is that the only thing anyone asks about?! We were at a hot springs, and she wanted to show off that she's been practicing!

[ Maki is going to die at this right. ]

[video]

[kickboards]

Why was anyone dancing naked?

--And why would you talk about it?

[His face is bright red-- he looks scandalized for your sake, miss.]

[cutiepanther]

T-That's not the point! [ Maki is quick to respond on that, not wanting anyone to get the wrong idea! ]

This was supposed to be a private message just to the person in question!
