First, her mother had decided it smart to set her up on a blind date with some guy. Then said guy decided to ask her out again, to the amusement park. And thirdly, where she was now, she had been stood up at said amusement park. Not even with so much as a call telling her he wasn't going to be there. Nope. So, here she was, standing around not sure what to do. She had paid to get in, and there was no way she was just going to leave after that, but, she wasn't sure what to do. She hadn't been to the amusement park since her eighteen birthday, when her mum and stepfather had brought her, hoping it would make her feel better. It had worked at the time.
And now, she was being stood up. Tugging at the end of her sweater's sleeves, she wondered what had changed his mind. Maybe it was because she was always working? It had taken almost two weeks for them to find a day they could actually go out, because most times when they finally found a day, something happened involving Vaglass. Or she got sick, or claimed she was sick because she just wasn't up to it.
Sighing, she wondered if anyway one she knew would suddenly arrive, and she would have someone to be around. It was unlikely, but, sometimes they seemed to show up at the best of times. Sometimes.

"Ah, Midori-san," he spoke from behind her. He had already been there, for reasons he'd rather not have spoken of. Honestly? His reason was there to try to meet women. He figured that might be a good chance, a good tactic. Thus far it wasn't paying off, as people were there in couples, thus throwing his plan off. Oh well, he did get some enjoyment out of being there, if for no other reason than his younger side enjoyed it, enjoyed the memories of a past he clung tightly to.

Midori was about to give up and go just find some game to play when she heard a voice from behind her, causing her to jump. Whirling around, she found Jin. Of course, she knew his voice anyway, but, still. "Jin-san?" She asked, confused as to why he was at the amusement park. There was no way he had a date there, for two reasons; one, he was an avatar, and had been stuck in Hyper Space for the past thirteen years. And secondly, he didn't have anyone with him.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, tilting her head to the side a little, playing with her sweater sleeves, making sure to keep them over her wrists. She knew it was silly, but, she didn't like people seeing the scars, so, she made sure to keep them covered. At least until the scars were almost gone.

He put his hands in his pockets as he approached her, "I was here...for the memories," he said. Partially true. "I used to come to these places when I was younger. Sometimes. This is...nice," he told her, leaving off his other motive for being here. She didn't need to know about that, "And you?"

Nodding, Midori, out of habit, smoothed the back of her denim skirt down, for no real reason than she did that when she wore skirts. She did it a lot at work. Memories, huh? Well, he had been trapped in Hyper Space for thirteen years. Heck, he still was, more or less. She wasn't actually sure how old he would be now.
"Me?" She asked, a little surprised it had turned back on her. "I was supposed to have a date." She said, stressing the supposed so she wouldn't have to out right say she had gotten stood up. It was embarrassing enough as is.

"I see," he said as he walked closer to her. He stood directly in front of her, thinking minimally about what he was about to say.
He just outright said it as smoothly as he could, "Supposed? Well, why not have one? I'm here, after all," he said with as least cocky of a smile as he could put on.

Midori was pretty sure he had barely thought about what he just said and suggested before actually saying it. But, it was better than wandering around the amusement park alone and risk having some creepy older guy hit on her. Yeah, that wouldn't be the first time it happened. She narrowed her eyes a little before giving a mental shrug.
"Okay," She agreed, looking up at him so she could look him in the eyes. "but you better be a good date," She teased a little, adjusting the strap of her purse as it moved into an annoy position.

He flashed her a smile, "I'm sure I will be." He held out his arm to offer it to her, "You know? You'll be my first date," he confided.
He didn't have to confide that, but he chose to. Of course he had nothing in the last thirteen years, but he hadn't felt like it prior, due to age. Midori was a nice enough woman; he did have a liking towards her, unlike some of the others at the EMC.

Midori was just a little surprised, but, took the offered arm. Maybe this date would end up better than she would have guessed for the other boy. The man she was supposed to be on a date with was nice enough, but... boring. Maybe because she was getting used to the random and frequent Vaglass attacks, or maybe because she just liked the unknown, but, she had known it wouldn't work out from the start.
"Ah, I am?" She asked, a smile slipping onto her face. She honestly wouldn't have guessed, had there been no Hyper Space or Vaglass, and they were just co-workers. He seemed to very much be a ladies man, and had probably made her blush at least once before since meeting him.

"I got sent to Hyper Space at fourteen," he told her, "I didn't date that young. I was more focused on other things when I was on Earth. Schooling, things like that, just...making myself a better, more educated man."
He let out a small laugh, "Twenty seven, and I'm only on my first date," he commented, "But...I don't know if I could have chosen a much better woman," he told her. He meant that. Granted, he didn't know a lot of people.

Midori nodded a little. So young... While she had grown up in a crappy house hold, he had grown up practically in Hell. Well, at least now she knew how old he actually was, and really, five years wasn't that big a deal. "Well, at least your better than pretty much everyone I knew in high school." She said, trying to ignore the fact that he had just said he couldn't have picked a better woman for his first date. "And thank you." She added.

"I'm twenty seven, but this avatar is no older than twenty four," he told her, "This is what I would have looked like, had I not gone to Hyper Space. My real body is much worse off."
He wanted to confide that point. It was something he really had to get out, something that he didn't want to hide. It was part of his pain, part of his hellish prison in Hyper Space. He didn't like letting his entire pain get out, but he would let parts of it go out.

Midori looked down for a moment, but then back up. A small, confident smile worked its way onto her face as she gave Jin's arm a little squeeze, trying to be reassuring. "We'll get you out of there." She said, nodding once to emphasize it. She might not be able to do much, but, the least she could do was let him know he wasn't all alone in this. "I can't do much; I can't fight, or any of that. The only thing I'm good for is computers. But, I can promise you that you'll get out of there, alive." She glanced up at him, waiting for a reaction.

He looked to her, "I want to get out, but I'm not looking forward to life again. I imagine my body is broken beyond use on Earth. In Hyper Space I'm barely able to move, stuck crawling at times. I like this body. I like my mobility, my appearance. I mean, having a real body I can work with. Freedom means...I'm restricted, broken..."
Why would he confide this? This was something that he kept to himself, a fear he wanted nobody to know. Why would he tell her? Did he feel comfortable enough with her? It seemed so.

Midori bit her lip, letting out a little sigh. She hadn't heard much about Hyper Space, but, no one really knew what it was like inside... Except for the man next to her, telling her about it. "But you're strong." She said, letting go of his arm, to take up his hand instead, hoping he didn't pull away or anything, solely because she would feel a little silly and stupid then. "When you get out, even if you're broken, I'm sure you'll pull through. Might not be as good as new, but, I'm sure it'll be close enough."
