Good day, everyone.

[ Kotomi's voice is.. practically the same as usual, aka very monotone and blank, no matter what she's speaking about. At least she's apparently social enough today to actually use the journal to make a post.. ]

I have two important questions to everyone. I couldn't find the answers in books, so I thought maybe someone else would be able to tell me instead.. I tried to look all over for books about it, but couldn't find anything. [ There's maybe the sliightest hint of disappointment in her tone at it. ]

The first would be any more information about "tsundere".. I heard it means someone acts tough and doesn't think they need anything more, but.. any more information would be nice, too.

[ This is clearly important. ]

And secondly, what kind of stories does everyone like..? [ totally not asking in relation to a certain someone, nope. ] I wonder if there's some sort of story that could be fun for everyone, no matter who reads it. Doesn't that sound like it'd be wonderful?

[ After that there's just.. a long pause.. apparently she forgot to turn off her journal after she was done in her obliviousness. ]

No, I actually read in a book once that it's the kind of joke sometimes used.. I was going to try two-man-comedy, but I would need someone else for that..

[ thinking about this.. and yup she was right. ] I'm not two people by myself, after all.

Oh, you're referring to tsukkomi and boke, aren't you? [ She ponders for a second, before continuing. ]

Why not have Ikki be your tsukkomi?

Do you think Ikki-kun would be good at two-man-comedy..?

[ She's already trying to imagine it to herself, really. ]

The guy felt like he'd be a walking natural, as far as I've seen.

That's funny. I haven't seen Ikki-kun being very funny at all yet, but maybe he does have a hidden talent for it like Shiki-chan is saying..

I think that has more to do with you being a natural for attracting them, Kotomi.

[ just blinking a little here.. she doesn't get it!! ]

I'm a natural? Really? ... A natural for attracting what..

[ Seems like it flew right over her head. Shiki just sighed as she explained. ]

For attracting tsukkomis and tsunderes.

[ Though it wasn't that much of an explanation. ]

... Ikki-kun was called a tsundere, and Smoker-kun was called a tsundere too, so.. you're right, Shiki-chan, maybe I just have a lot of tsunderes around me.

[ -- oh, wait, that makes her wonder.. ]

Does that mean Shiki-chan is a tsundere too?

[ She nearly spat out her water at Kotomi's question. Tsundere? Her?! ]

No! No, I'm not!

... Huh, Shiki-chan sure is denying it a lot..

I'm not!

Whatever, that aside. [ She quickly attempted to change the subject. The denial is practically all over her face. ]

... Doesn't Shiki-chan want to talk about tsunderes?

[ totally oblivious.. ]

The question is answered, and I'm not one, so no.

Then.. what does Shiki-chan want to talk about?

Hmmm.

I don't know. Show me another one of your jokes, Kotomi.

Okay then. [ a small nod, and she prepares herself once again..!! ]

What's the difference between bird flu and swine flu?

I don't know, what?

[ There's almost an awkwardly long pause here, completely ruining the timing of the joke.. ]

If you have bird flu, you need tweetment. If you have swine flu, you need oink-ment.
