If I were after pleasantries I'd just come visit. This is business.

Trying to get a read on just how much of an effect the synchrony bond has. Defining it as just "pleasure" isn't particularly helpful or descriptive.

[foulplayed]

Good to know.

You mean, how much of an effect it has on you?

[bottomless_bowl]

On anyone.

If a tincture was supposed to cause pleasure there's a lot of ways that could happen. Increased sensitivity, feelings of euphoria, aphrodisiac properties, even just lowering inhibitions like sorta like alcohol. Kinda wanna know what the game is with this synchrony thing.

[foulplayed]

Ah, I see what you're getting at.

Have you tried it with a couple different people? It could be that different experiences trigger different response. Might be worth a little experimentation, if you're that curious.

[bottomless_bowl]

Not usually too keen on experimenting on myself, Yuri.

responses* cries at typos

[foulplayed]

So your plan is to ask people what their experiences of intimacy have been like here ...

And hope they'll not only feel comfortable answering you, but that they'll be honest about it?

( Not the kind of gamble Yuri would go for, but to each their own! )

c'est la vie <3

[bottomless_bowl]

My plan was to ask you and go from there. It's called brainstorming.

And you're right but I don't have to like it.

[foulplayed]

Aw, I was your first choice? Adorable.

You don't have to like it, but you might have to get used to it. Unless you have any more ideas as to where you might go from here?

[bottomless_bowl]

[Godsdammit Yuri he has been flustered enough for one lifetime already.]

Aside from just avoiding it entirely? Not really.

[foulplayed]

( Sorry, chief, this isn't going to stop any time soon!

C'mon, you're more intelligent than that. You really think that's a sustainable solution?

[bottomless_bowl]

Maybe not but until I get a better grasp of what we're dealing with I think I can manage.

[Yuri do you realize how long he's gone without touching people?]

[foulplayed]

( No he does not 8) )

Well, far be it from me to tell the Leader of the Alliance what to do, but if holding hands with someone really bothers you that much?

You're probably going to be in for a rough time.

[bottomless_bowl]

I just don't let most people into my space, nothing wrong with that.

[It's not like he's paranoid or something, Yuri, Gods]

[foulplayed]

Which you're going to stick to even to your detriment, apparently.

Can I ask why?

[bottomless_bowl]

How's it to my detriment?

And yeah, sure you can ask.

[Odds of him answering? maybe .03 on a scale of 1-10]

[foulplayed]

As far as I'm aware, if you're not Syncing and producing Manna you're not going to get any decent perks in this place. Whose kitchen are you planning on raiding when you run out of food?

Alright. Why?

[bottomless_bowl]

Who says I'm going to let myself be indebted to this Nyx lady?

[He's not really here for being a government slave. So far he's been able to trade labor for goods and he's going to maintain that for as long as humanly possible.]

Why am I sticking to it or why am I not jumping on the chance to hug a bunch of strangers?

[Do you realize how weird that is Yuri?]

[foulplayed]

Well hey, congratulations on being the first of us to be fully debt free. You're an inspiration.

My question was why you're so against letting people into your space. You're acting like a little hand-holding is nigh unthinkable, which is kind of curious to me. That's all.

[bottomless_bowl]

[Rude, Yuri.]

So what if this synchrony thing acts more like a drug or a spell and it escalates? They've already warned us away from trying to sync with any of the Gems and there's a reason for that, a physiological one. So if it can do that kind of damage to the Gems what's stopping them from just not telling us that it can do the same to us? What do they lose out of it? It's less resources spent and less money out of their pocket.

Whatever magical pool they're creating with the manna? We have no reason to believe we're not each a finite resource. So what happens when that's used up?

[foulplayed]

Ah, so you've been approaching all this with the absolute worst case scenario in mind. I've gotta say, I commend you on that: none of my own worst cases were quite that bad.

Anyway. If that's the case, and this is really some kind of drain-us-until-we're-dead situation? It's worth keeping in mind that not playing along probably runs the risk of them getting rid of you as wastage.

Sounds kind of lose-lose to me.

[bottomless_bowl]

That's definitely not my worst case scenario but I figure that's the one most likely.

Maybe? Pretty sure they can make do for a week or two so I can see how things are going for others. Unless you're planning on hiding your findings from me??? :D

[He'd be giving you puppy dog eyes if you were here, buddy.]

[foulplayed]

What's in it for me if I share them?

( Is he kidding? Is he not? Who knows! )

[bottomless_bowl]

I don't suppose my brilliant intellect is gonna cut it huh?

[foulplayed]

Not this time.

[bottomless_bowl]

You KNOW none of us have much of anything here yet. So? What do you want?
