[wow such showmanship ✨]

If there are, I don't remember them! Good surprise!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Blue Eyes lands gracefully next to Intensity with a snort as if maybe she has seen him pull this trick one too many times]

Of course it's a good surprise! Why would I waste my time with mediocre ones?

[And waiting for Cobalt to dismount]

[we_meet_again]

[Cobalt just slides off her back like a normal person]

Even if I have high expectations of you, isn't it boring if I don't react at least a little? How will you know you're appreciated? How will you gloat properly? I'm performing an important service, you know.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is that what is means to be a support character?

[we_meet_again]

Probably.

If I can help people feel supported then I think that would make me pretty happy.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You don't have to do it all the time.

I don't do charity work. If I didn't want to bring you places, I wouldn't.

[we_meet_again]

[thank goodness he doesn't have to do it all the time because he's not sure he's all that good at it tbh]

I'm glad to hear that. I don't want you to do stuff for me because you feel obligated.

Ever.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You don't have to worry about that.

I'm much too self-absorbed to do "nice" things out of obligation.

[Motions Cobalt closer]

Now c'mon. Enjoy some fake plastic with me.

[we_meet_again]

[approaches, looking around]

This is all going to be really amazing once we get the ecosystem. Or "make all plants real," or whatever.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh? Are you one of those ecosystem enthusiasts?

[we_meet_again]

The fact that there are no wild animals here has been a blessing I've cherished for the last four months, but I acknowledge that an ecosystem's gonna get voted in eventually, so I'm just rolling with it, at this point. Maybe having some birds or koi or something will be nice.

I will, however, be happy about the plants. Plastic plants just aren't the same.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I suppose.

...

If you could pick something, what would you want?

[we_meet_again]

Real plants would be nice? I'd like that. Or somewhere with food, like a restaurant or conbini. Or some museums or something.

What about you? What would you like to get in a community upgrade?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'd think I'd just want this place. I don't need greenery everywhere.

[we_meet_again]

Are you keeping this place a secret?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I've shown a small number of people. You being the third.

And I have no reason to think any of you would spread the word about this place. Or have any way to get here on your own. Perhaps the actual best part.

[we_meet_again]

If you're trying to keep it a secret, it's no good asking for it specifically on a community upgrade, is what I mean.

I'll cast a vote for plants for you, though.

I hope you get your garden.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That's very thoughtful of you. But I think I'm obligated to vote for a love hotel.

[we_meet_again]

Obligated, huh? Should I ask?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

My unitmates are positively scandalized that people have sexual relations outside of the dorm.

[we_meet_again]

Oh my, how salacious!

If anyone is going to do the do outside the dorms, I'm not sure a love hotel will necessarily stop them... or is this more for your unitmate's peace of mind?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That was exactly the debate. One believed it would be well-used. The other thought that people would continue to fuck wherever they wanted.

Only one way to prove which one of them is right.

For science. Of course.

[we_meet_again]

For science!



Not sure I'd want to be the one to collect the data to see whether it has any measurable impact on people's amorous congress, though. That's their own business.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh please. If they're doing it out in the open, then the thrill of being caught is just adding to the enjoyment.

[we_meet_again]

In that case, a love hotel definitely isn't going to make them stop.
