[Video] [Filtered from Lup Taaco]

[There's a fidgety middle-aged man on your screens, a bespectacled man who looks like he has absolutely no clue what he's doing. Evidenced by the fact that only about half of his face is even in frame.]

Hello. Uh, no that's... G-Greetings! No that's worse...

[He sighs.]

Okay. Say that you, uh... completely hypothetically... haven't really seen your significant other in a while. Couple months. 'Cause of somethin' you did. Hy-Hypothetically. And you're hypothetically lookin' to get'em a little somethin' now that you're uh, back together again. Just a little present, like, nothin' special, j-just somethin' nice t'show y'love'em.

Your hypothetical significant other also already has everythin'. And they're magic.

[Barry hasn't gotten any answers yet, and he already looks demoralized.]

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Uh. Thanks for yer time. How do I make it stop record--

[There's a very amused person on the other end, maybe male, maybe female. Hard to tell. Seel's arms are crossed in front of him.]

Yourself wrapped in a bow.

I can put a bow on your dick and get Angus out of the house for a few hours Barry, all you have to do is fuckin' ask.

[He doesn't even flinch at that sentence. Get with the program, Barry.]

[Oh, boy.

Nate wouldn't consider this his area of expertise by any stretch of the imagination, in the sense that he doesn't always know where to start reparations. Fuck everything up? Sure. Panic at the thought of commitment and not-so-gently swerve away from the girl you're dating by leaving the country? Got it. Get cold feet and walk away from your marriage and pray your significant other doesn't serve you with papers? Definitely.

Fixing things?]

Jesus.

[Having never met the guy on the line Nate can only sympathize in every respect. He has a few ideas, just give him a moment, he's processing the timeline of his own screw-ups and looking for things he might have done right.]

I don't wanna pry too far, buddy, but can you tell me who you're with?

[ Barry. Barry please. Drake is already grinning in the video feed, because he did know they were back together but this is sort of adorably inept. How long have you guys been married? Come on.

But he came up against the same problem when trying to figure out what to get Lup for her birthday, so. ]

I know it sounds like the others are joking about the bow, but you is really all she wants, buddy. You're probably better off with a gesture than a gift. Do something for her, make a nice new memory to make up for the slip.

[Okay. This is going to be graphic, but if he's really looking for advice, he should be prepared for that.]

I'd say you should go down like a rock off a cliff, but if you aren't already, you're probably past hope.

[At least unlike most people on this hellthread, Alphys isn't here to give The Sex Answer. She also has the benefit of knowing Lup semi-well, so she's trying to put some thought in.]

Well, uh-- gosh, that is sort of hard. Maybe like... if she already has a lot of stuff, you can find something really sweet to do together! Or even m-make something together that she can keep.

[What do people who actually date others and don't just FWB or one night stand them do...]

That's easy. Just save their life. They'll be indebted to you forever, and all the rest is just water under the bridge.

[IS SHE JOKING? Maybe. This is hilarious, okay.]

[ Faith is only a little annoyed at the replies to this particular post, her nose wrinkling at the suggestions. Love can be shown in more ways than the sexual (but this is coming from a young woman with a fair amount of hangups in that department). ]

You could cook them a meal. It may be a simple gesture but I think it's one of the sweetest. [ Don't people show love through such means? A homecooked meal, an extra hour in bed, an evening of quiet in one another's company; those are gifts that many don't consider when it comes to their significant other. ]

Perhaps a thoughtful note demonstrating your affection for them?

something with a personal touch! the heads of her enemies is always a thoughtful one.

if you dont know what your own fuckin wife would want then there aint shit that anybody could say that would help you

but you fuck this up again and there aint gonna be enough of you left for these asshole gods to fuckin bring back

we real fuckin clear?

you shouldn't need to get them a present if they're your significant other. They should know about your love even without it.

I'm gonna have to second all the other people here and say you. That's what she wants, just you.

None of this sounds very hypothetical, sir. And you might want to hold the phone up a bit higher the next time you record something.

I don't know what happened between you two love birds, but I'm sure your hypothetical significant other/Lup would love anything you got her.

[Magnus hadn't pried about what happened between Lup and Barry before he got here, there was so much other shit to figure out and it seemed like a touchy subject. But if that means he gets to help his friends get back together then he is down to help!]

Except anything Merle might have gotten her in the past. I know for a fact she hates most of those gifts.

[A jellyfish hat thing is not a good look.]

I can show you how to carve her a duck!

[Awww, he's charmed by this clumsy adorable man.]

A nice massage. I'm sure they would appreciate that.

Alcohol.

( K a t e... )

A nice gesture is a good place to start. A meal if they like to eat, a backrub if they get stressed a lot. If they're anything like my significant other who has everything, an elaborate revenge scheme against their enemies would work pretty well, too.

I vote for ALL OF THE ABOVE. If you put some effort into pleasing her, you can't go wrong.

Let me know if you'd like some small thing to give as a gift, like a pair of polished earrings made of varren ivory. I'm a craftsman, and I'm also a friend of Lup's.

[ Well........]

Hey man. That-- [Hold on.] Months?

[Oh, Kravitz is absolutely 100% all over this. He has no idea of what's gone down, but he knows Lup- uh, better than he used to- and he knows how to put together a thoughtful gift. He's already internally making a list of ideas.

Barry is nice. ...And maybe he hopes someone will be there to help him when the day inevitably comes that he fucks up and needs to make it up to Taako.]

If you do not have any other immediate business to attend to, I'd like to suggest an impromptu meeting to spin ideas. Are you available?
