[Since a certain someone's arrival, Asch has been kind of cranky and not particularly social, which has suited him just fine, besides having to endure appearing more pathetically lonely than usual. It's not like he really cares what other people think of him anyway (usually). Apparently there's some kind of party going on today, which makes him want to go out even less, so he's content to stay inside and keep out of the way. Parties? Not his thing.
But apparently some people have other ideas.
Eventually he will escape the party (greatly relieved to be away from it, whether he enjoyed himself at all or not), and will instead hang around outside the building trying to gather what's left of his dignity before he heads home. He just wants an uneventful walk in the dark (because it's always dark for him) and a long night's rest.
And apparently he's not allowed to do that, either.
Only when he makes it home does he finally take steps towards contacting a certain scientist who can get his body back to normal. Four months is long enough to be fumbling around in the dark without his replica nearby.]

[ BECAUSE YOU'RE BORING, ASCH. And you need pretty, spunky ladies to help you live your life. Clearly. ]
action;
Exactly! That's the deal. Just come and if you don't have fun? You're free to go. That's a guarantee!
action;
Not interested.
action;
But she shoots Rapunzel a slightly despairing look. She doesn't want to force him, but... they've got to convince him to go somehow! ]
action;
But how will you know unless you go? This could be the most amazing night of your life!
action;
Do I look like someone who'd enjoy a party?
[And why is this so important?]
action;
[ With gentle humor, edging her way in. ]
Everyone deserves to have fun, Asch. You shouldn't just sit here all alone.
action;
[At least, she assumes he's by himself. After all, everyone ever is going to be at this party.]
action;
Yeah shut up.]
Parties are for- for social types. That's the exact opposite of what I am.

[It's really a pity he can't see the expert puppy dog eyes she's giving him right now.]
action;
...they're so-
...goddammit, replica, this better not have been your idea-]
Fine.
[He sounds irritated, exasperated, and almost tired, but he finally relents, against his better judgment. He may be currently immune to the puppy eyes, but sometimes it really is easier to give in and escape early than sit here and argue all night.]
What do you want me to do?
action;
Xion has to avoid clapping her hands together in glee, and it's probably for the best that Asch can't see the way she lights up, like a burst of sunshine. She's just so happy that he's agreeing. ]
We need you to put on a masquerade costume!
action;
She steps further into the house, wondering if it would be too presumptuous for her to go raiding Asch's closet.]
Do you have any formal outfits?
action;
I have some suits in the closet. That's good enough.
action;
[ She gives Rapunzel a look. This look says, it has to be good. ]
action;
We'll make sure you look completely dashing! Oh--and you'll need a mask, too.
action;
[Somehow this is more daunting than them going to the party.]
