Fandom High School Host Club - Sunday, February 3 - Music Room: Late Afternoon

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

Tamaki had arrived a little early in order to attempt beautifying the music room. It was nothing like the unused third music room at Ouran Academy, but he'd managed to dress it up a bit with several flower-filled vases. On a stray piano bench, he had placed a tray containing tea and finger foods just in case his future hosts got hungry. Snacks and tea were part of the Host Club ambience, although they were normally for the guests.

Once he was sure his hopefuls were about and had gotten comfy, he faced them with a huge grin, spreading his arms wide in a slightly over-dramatic gesture of welcome.

"Gentlemen," he said, his voice nearly quavering with excitement, "Welcome to the Fandom High School Host Club!" Lowering his arms once again, he began to pace back and forth, occasionally appraising his audience as he spoke. "If you are here, you have volunteered to donate your precious time to those who most deserve it: Lovely young ladies, who also have time, who will be here to see you. Yes, you!" He nodded for emphasis before resuming.

"Of course, there are certain requirements that one must have in mind when it comes to being a Host," he warned, his voice taking on a serious tone. "Each one of you must choose a 'type'. Why is that so important, you ask? Because, my dear Host Club hopefuls," he purred, wagging a finger at all of them, "Your 'type' is the very thing that defines your role as Host! Take me, for example. I am, as you can obviously see, a 'Prince Type'. I am handsome and romantic!" As if to prove this point he struck a regal pose and ran his fingers through his golden hair in a shower of randomly materializing bishounen sparkles, grinning devastatingly at the camera no one in particular.

"Now, I would like each one of you to tell me what you think makes you stand out from the crowd. What are your talents and unique traits? How do your looks correlate with that? Do they fit well with the traits you have in mind? If you're going to say that you're the 'cool' type, then you'd better be looking cool. You cannot claim to be a certain type if you do not look the part! I cannot stress that enough!" He balled his right hand into a fist and slammed it into his other hand's open palm, seemingly glaring at his host hopefuls, but not actually being angry. In fact, a moment later, he was back to his cheery self.

"Lastly," he said jovially, "You are required to provide the young ladies with the answers they may wish to be hearing. Therefore, I shall be assessing your ability to entertain. Tell me: If a girl were to ask you something such as 'Why are you so gorgeous,' then what would your response be? Whatever you say reflects upon you as a host, so answer carefully." He gave them a stern look for about half a second, then returned to smiling. "That's all for now. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have."

"I have a boyfriend?" Teddy suggested.

Tamaki's mouth fell open. He stared for a very, very long time, unable to grab the elusive words swirling around in his head.

"Uh," he managed to stammer at last, "Th-that's not quite what this is about," he said, rubbing the back of his head as his brow furrowed in confusion. "We're not here to pick up ladies, we're just here to entertain them, so... er."

He was frozen in contemplation for a few minutes yet again before he managed to recover himself a little. "For instance, if a young lady were to ask me such a thing, I, personally, would say," and he leaned forward to make close and sultry eye contact, smiling flirtatiously, as though he were pretending Teddy was that girl, "God created me with this beauty specifically so I could be here for you to admire." He lingered but a moment to add the effect of closeness that made most girls swoon, then straightened up once again. "See? Something like that."

His expression turned thoughtful. "But you say you have a boyfriend?" He blinked.

Teddy pulled back a little, blinking at the flirtatious behavior.

"I don't want them to get the wrong impression!"

Re: List Your Talents/Unique Traits and How Looks Factor In

Tamaki shook his head. "This isn't about 'the wrong impression'. We are here simply to create a fantasy world to make young ladies happy. There are no 'wrong impressions'! We allow them to dream a little, to be treated like the princesses they are, for a time!" He stretched his arm out, gazing into the distance like he was looking at a beautiful miracle vision that no one else could see. Sparkles appeared in the background behind him.

Lowering his arm and re-focusing his eyes, he brought a hand to his chin in a pensive gesture. "We've never had hosts who are into boys before, so maybe now would be a good time to start taking male designations too... I suppose you would be entertaining boys as well, then, should they choose to come in."

"Because you deserve someone hot to look at?" he'd been paying attention during Teddy's turn.

The Host Club King blinked, then chuckled.

"That's good, my good man, but I believe some fine-tuning is in order." He winked encouragingly. "Would you like to try again? Think elegance! Charm!"

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

Lucas was starting to be pretty entertained by this. "Okay," he cleared his throat and struck a bit of a dramatic pose.

"Your eyes must reflect their own allure and beauty when they look on me."

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

He clapped his hands together with glee. "That's marvellous," he gushed, "You really are a writer!"

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

Andrew had said something along those lines a couple of times and, because he was a sane human being, he'd decided to ignore it.

He didn't think that answer would fly here.

"I suppose," he started, speaking slowly as he considered it, "I would say 'Thank you for the compliment, but I find your own beauty a much more interesting subject.'"

He'd only borrowed a little from one of Nanny's romance novels.

Tamaki was so pleased he could have swept Liir up into a big, squishy hug. "Yes," he shouted, spreading his arms wide with glee, "That's excellent! You're a natural!"

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Dot. Dot. Dot.

"All... right..."

Apparently he'd done well. After the moment of initial 'buh', he beamed happily. He liked praise.

...and it told him that the idea of borrowing from some of Nanny's romance novels was probably a good route.

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

"Very, very good!" He clapped his hands with excitement, wondering if he should test this seemingly awesome natural with another question.

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka grinned. "I'd say, I'm just lucky, I guess. Naturally good-looking. Why are you so gorgeous?"

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

"Aha," Tamaki said nervously, "Perhaps you might wish to try again. We must treat our young ladies with respect." He smiled encouragingly.

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Yeeeeeah, that's what I was doing," Sokka said. "How is calling a girl gorgeous not respectful?"

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

"A Host must be a little more charming and eloquent than that," he admonished gently.

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

[raspberryturk]

"Crack."

Glare. Glare. Glare.

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

"Uh."

It was all Tamaki could manage, for his roomie's glare was quite frightening and made all his thinky go bye-bye.

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

[raspberryturk]

The glare gave way into more smirking as Tamaki's "thinky went bye-bye."

Breaking brains was fun when you were drunk and angry at everything.

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

"Wh-what would you really say?" he asked, in a meeker voice than he would have liked. If he died for asking, then at least it would likely be swift?

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Not half as good looking as you?" he suggested.

Re: Question: Girl asks "Why are you so gorgeous?" You say:

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

Tamaki nodded. "That's a very good start! I would suggest refining it just a little," he added with a smile. "Something like 'My beauty is no comparison to yours, dear lady.'"

"I don't know about that," Jack said. Thinkingly. "Are girls going to call us gorgeous and beautiful? I prefer handsome. Gorgeous is kind of..." Jack made a hand gesture that was in the neighborhood of Do Not Want. "I can work on it."

"It was merely an example question, although," he smirked and puffed out his chest a little, "Many a young lady has asked me the very same question."
