Today I'm just a player

WHO: Mariko Aramaki and Yoon-sung Lee
WHERE: On A Date
WHEN: Backdated to 7/7
WHAT: Mariko cashes in on the Auction Date
WARNINGS: Maybe a little flirting? Anything else will be warned in the header

The time to pay the piper has come and Mariko can’t shake the last vestiges of nervousness as she gets ready for the evening. Her wariness has almost nothing to do with her date, it’s just analyzation comes naturally to her and it’s not great on paper regardless of how she tries to slice it. Older woman, younger man. Large amounts of money and flashy indulgences abound. The Young Man gets points for having deep pockets in regards to charity, endorsements from The Lady’s friends and enough personality that she finds herself curious about what’s under all the flash. Curiosity is the most dangerous part of the equation: Mariko has done Very stupid things for the sake of indulging curiosity.

Yoon-sung however, mostly seems to be a gentleman. He lets her pick the time and place and Mariko is wondering if she hasn’t just hamstrung herself.

Tanabata, cosmically speaking, is either a very good night for a date or she’s spitting into the maelstrom that is her love life. A $5000 sized stone drops in her stomach and she tries not to think about what such a flashy young man might want out of such an expensive date. It could be fun. It could be the break she needs.

She tries to frame the situation positively as she waits outside of her complex to be picked up. Her choice in dress is simple; a wine colored cocktail dress and a pair silvery heels suitable for the sweltering nights they’ve had. They’re going to some new asian fusion place that opened up in Tisse, eager to celebrate the festivities this evening and eager to prove how upscale they are to their prospective customer base. If it happens to be formal enough to keep them from getting too relaxed, all the better.

What does he want? Well, asking him directly would get her a number of responses, anything from a flippant 'I'd thought you would be a fun date' to a more serious 'Don't let my age fool you' but at the heart of this was a little bit of curiosity and a dash of excitement. It had been a while since he wanted to try dating again; the stuff with the app making it really weird to date among his usual circles, let alone memories of a guy who seemed to take the casual sex a little too far.

If not downright to the point of being a creep about it. Like what was with that memory of drugging a woman? He still didn't have the full reasoning behind that.

Knowing that heels and a dress were harder to maneuver into a low-riding sports car, Yoon-sung decided to switch on over to his Bentley for a smoother ride and the bonus convertible top. It was still flashy, but the kind of flash that spoke of money and knowing when to use it. His suit for the evening was that as well - subtle pattern dark gray and black jacket over a loose shirt with an unique collar design and of course sleek dress pants and shoes. His overcoat he left in the backseat just in case the night air decided to get chilly.

Top down, he pulled up to the front of her building, parked and got out to greet her properly.

"Hello, Mariko. You look lovely tonight."
