How am I supposed to write anything without an axe?

Look, I’m just saying, need to get my start somehow, and can’t get a start without the right tools to rake in the not-cash. You seen the shop I showed you? Think they’d miss it if one goes missing?

[persecutetioncomplex]

Um...

[Her voice is quiet, because she's uncertain how loud she actually needs to be.]

This... This is Y-Yuri, right? Did I do this right, oh, Goddess...

@hart_on

[bottomless_bowl]

Do you have any experience with this synchrony thing yet?

[foulplayed]

Well good evening to you too, Claude. I'm doing fine, thanks for asking.

( He's just teasing you, buddy, don't worry 8') )

And no, I can't say that I do. I've been a little tied up with administrative stuff. Why do you ask?

[foulplayed]

This is Yuri.

( A light chuckle follows. )

And that's gotta be Bernadetta. The technology here is pretty crazy, right?

[persecutetioncomplex]

Oh!

[Without face-to-face exposure, there's actually a notable increase in her confidence, and she's not even hiding the little flash of triumph in her voice.

Success!!]

H-Hello! Um, yes, it really is. It helps that it's easy to look up things we don't know. ...how are you doing? There's, well, there's a lot of things to get used to, all at once.

[foulplayed]

( Well, here's an opportunity for a little fun ... )

Nah, I'd say go for it. What's the worst that could happen?

I've gotta ask, though. Why exactly do you need an axe?

[bottomless_bowl]

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]

You're checking up on me? And just when I thought you couldn't get more adorable ...

( And don't think he doesn't notice the triumph, Bernie — it suits you! )

I'd say I'm doing well so far. You know me, I'll always find a way to keep myself busy. How're things with you?

[foulplayed]

Good to know.

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

[persecutetioncomplex]

Oh, um, should... was that too pushy—

[Oh, wait, no. He called her adorable, which is... uh, well, doting enough to throw her for a loop, for sure, because she's still not convinced she deserves to have this back.]

I'm okay! I'm... I'm getting... getting used to things. S-Sort of. People here... um, they've been surprisingly nice, so far!

[engrams]

You just been pretending to be paying attention or what?

Need something to perform with, unless you think people are gonna be impressed with my air guitar.

[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]

I'm glad to hear it, Bernadetta.

( And he really is — even if he has his own reservations about trusting people's kindness at face value. The fact that she's willing to believe people might actually want to be nice to her isn't something he wants to spoil. )

Are you and your roommate still getting along?

[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.

[foulplayed]

Hey, maybe you're just not as interesting as you think you are.

Anyway, something to perform with. Got it. Because a stolen axe will make you more desirable. I'm not sure I follow the logic, but is it at least an impressive axe?

[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]
