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.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Not everyone no. But who knows how many people have hidden spots all over the city for just such a purpose.

[we_meet_again]

I think the fact that we don't have a love hotel already is probably strong evidence that people are taking things... into their own hands, shall we say. It's certainly not a lack of hormones, that's for sure.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh?

Does that mean Cobalt has a suitor or two of his own?

[we_meet_again]

[laughs, lighthearted]

First of all, why would you come to that conclusion from what I said?!

Second of all, isn't this like the third time you've asked me that? Why so much interest in my love life?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Second. At the most.

[It's probably third. If not fourth]

Maybe I'm just curious about your type.

[we_meet_again]

[shrug]

I'm not sure, either. I guess I'm still figuring that out.

Why? You trying to set me up with someone?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Maybe I am. What do normal relationships look like anyway?

[Intensity wouldn't know. He certainly hasn't seen any.

Well. Maybe B and Gold count, but they are still... unique people]

[we_meet_again]

Beats me! I'm not sure I have much experience with this sort of thing.

Even though there are a lot of beautiful and wonderful people here, I'm generally not really that interested in them in that way. Apparently I'm either very picky or I'm broken, because I have a lot of difficulty with even the baseline amount of physical contact that other people seem to do just fine with. I've only recently learned how to be okay with hugging my own unitmates, and even still it's only like, two of them.

So I don't know if I'd be any good in a relationship. If it happens, cool, and if not, that's also cool. Whatever happens, happens.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Immediately:]

You're not broken.

[There is a 50/50 chance he did not parse the rest of what Cobalt was saying after he said that]

[we_meet_again]

Ah. Well that settles it, I guess.
