*written in carefully disguised handwriting*

I am writing to you all on behalf of an anonymous individual. This individual (who shall henceforth be known as "Mr. X") has recently found that he lacks certain knowledge which could prove vital in the near future. Thus, he wishes to take advantage of everyone's wisdom regarding the romancing of men.

More specifically, Mr. X would like to know more about what he should do if, for whatever reason, he and his gentleman friend end up having to bed each other. I think it's safe to say that both are somewhat inexperienced, so it would be helpful to provide as much detail as possible regarding the physical mechanics—as is acceptable by the bulletin's standards, of course! (Also, it wouldn't do to neglect the emotional aspect either. I assure you that Mr. X is a true romantic at heart.)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated by my acquaintance. Thank you in advance! :)

You sound like you're speaking from personal experience. Since I don't know the specifics of your situation, I can't really comment on it. But, I'm of the opinion that romance is an unnecessary distraction.

As for why it's dangerous? Well, you're putting yourself in an awfully vulnerable position. It could be used against you in a variety of ways, and it just makes a complicated situation (read: being stuck in Landel's) even more complicated.

Regardless of my personal experience, being here with someone that makes one happy is still really nice. For anyone. I think we might actually all go crazy if there was no one that made us happy. Wouldn't you? I guess... romance builds from that.

I guess so. But it's not like the monsters are going to attack you more just because you're in love.

If I had it my way, I would make sure the people I cared about most never had to step foot in this horrid place. Unfortunately, that isn't in my power, but that just means I have to try harder to find a way out of here.

No, you won't get attacked more. But it will make being attacked far more painful than it should be. And then there are other complications that stem from personal relationships, but I'd rather not get into those here.

I think someone needs to start looking for the silver linings to the clouds in his life! :) Yeah, it stinks that we're all in here, but... but you should find someone that makes you smile, even though you're sad that they're in here too. ♥

So yeah, there are complications, but there are benefits too.

Forgive me for saying it's a little difficult to find anything positive in a place like this.

And, yes, it's nice to get to enjoy certain people's company. But trying to figure out how to woo them while stuck in Landel's like this is an entirely different matter. All I'm saying is that people should get their priorities in order and find a way out of here.

Oh come on, I forgive you - but you get to meet all sorts of different people from all sorts of different places! If you like to learn about other people, it's kind of a treasure trove!

Don't get me wrong, I want to get out too. We all do a little bit. But the things I'm more interested in can only be discovered within these walls... I think, anyway~

There are complications. There are always complications.

But love can be a greater source of strength than duty.

The strength that love gives can also lead you down dangerous paths.

As a guy in my old division put it, "I'd rather die in a fight than fucking die of boredom."
