[ hmmmm ]

Oh, do tell. I mean, I guess there's a lot of weird stuff to talk about, like whatever they're doing to mess with us right now, maid cafés, the universe's worst water park and fast food restaurant...

[at_heart]

[ Were you looking for NSFW thoughts, because one of the things you mentioned sure did just get a quick succession of images, some of them just harmless if embarrassing hijinx, but while he almost walked straight into a wall in his haste to exit it, the maid cafe also got him laid twice in rapid succession, so. Lupine is looking fully elsewhere now. ]

Oh, I think that's a little harsh. The food at WcDonald's was pretty decent, and everything in that dome was trying to kill us, so their — mascot or whatever probably just didn't wanna feel left out.

[identitypolitics]

[ holy shit dude you live the exciting life, huh, ]

Listen, listen, I didn't get to hang out there long enough to eat anything apart from some very suspicious pasta.

Seems like you prefer the maid café still, though?

[at_heart]

[ DAY 410 WAS SORT OF RIDICULOUS, SAFFRON ] [ But, uh, that question gives him some pretty serious pause. ]

Excuse me?

[ To his credit, his expression isn't giving much away. But internally, oh boy is he ever trying to reconstruct the actual cafe part of that live and coming up empty. She absolutely could've been at a table and witness to what at least three of the maids took for some sort of panic attack, but why that would make her think he'd liked the place, he can't imagine. It's not like the thing with Lucifel happened at a table, and....... and okay, the thing with Rye did sort of start in the hallway, but they just kissed there. ]

[identitypolitics]

[ ok this is fun now

we love bullying ]

Seems like it was a little overwhelming for you.

[at_heart]

[ Wow, Saffron, ] [ Lupine is pretty much just staring at her now. ]

Yeah, I mean... 'overwhelming' doesn't really make most people's top ten favorite things about a restaurant, though.

[ His tone is extremely careful. It might be a little suspiciously careful even without the mindreading. Obviously she saw something, but exactly what he isn't sure, and he doesn't want to make this worse. ]

[identitypolitics]

I'm just razzing you, don't worry. Anyway, "use telepathy to find out a secret" is pretty hard if I tell you I'm doing it.

[ she winks. ]

Promise I won't tell.

1/2

[at_heart]

[ Well. That pretty much explains that. ]

[at_heart]

What I wouldn't give for a swarm of face-stealing mannequins right about now.

[identitypolitics]

[ she shrugs. ]

Listen, I could guarantee you that you don't have the most embarrassing activities resume out there. I don't know for sure, but I know.

[at_heart]

[ Pauses, frowning at her. Might be thinking about one of his encounters really graphically for a few seconds just to be obnoxious. ]

It wasn't all embarrassing.

[identitypolitics]

All right, I get it, I get it. Ugh.

[ data point: she's actually pretty nonplussed by all of this, as exasperated as she's acting? huh. ]

What were you actually going to vent about, though?

[at_heart]

[ Data points are useful. Are you making a list, too, Saffron. ] [ Lupine grins a tiny bit but politely clears his head. ]

...I don't know. [ This time, more honest. ] It'd depend on who I was venting to, I guess.

[identitypolitics]

[ of course she's making a list. all intel is valuable. ]

I guess you could vent about nosy women with telepathy.

[at_heart]

[ Snorts. ]

Well, they are pretty obnoxious. A lot of my thoughts qualify as 'secrets', if we're being technical about it, and there's no reason not to be technical with a game like this. Nobody had to poke and prod until I was specifically thinking about something embarrassing.

[ Beat. ]

But it's just a game, and I actually made out pretty well that day, all things considered. [ A little shrug. ] So I guess I forgive them.

[identitypolitics]

Well, that's good. Pranks are only really fun if lines aren't crossed, after all.

[at_heart]

[ ...He agrees completely, to the point where that actually gives him a tiny bit of pause. Flicks a lock of hair over one shoulder. ]

Any other squares you still need?

[identitypolitics]

Well, it seems only fair you should get to pick—either that, or one from your card, since I got two for one with that and without asking.

[ she waves her card at him. ]

[at_heart]

Well...

[ Glances at her card, then at his own again. ]

What does 'cross water with an escort' even mean? [ Bemused. ] You hiss at me, I'll growl at you?

[ It'd complete one of his rows. ]

[identitypolitics]

I assume it means... cross water with someone else, but why...

...and sure, that works out. Uh—

ssssSSSSSSSS

[at_heart]

[ —He was expecting it, but the hiss still makes him laugh, a low rumble that shakes his shoulders. He returns it with a low growl, and hey that's a bingo!

...And with it, a new card, which has him blinking and tugging it out of his jacket to check! ]

Welp. Can't say you didn't literally warn me, heh.

[identitypolitics]

—oh, there it goes.

Well—it's not a bad look, for you.

[at_heart]

[ He sure is blue, which is about all he can currently tell, so he gives Saffron a very crooked smile. ]

Could definitely be worse; I recognize some of these squares, and Hurry's version was half-naked.

[ He got to keep the outfit he had on before, even though it's a little incongruous to be some sort of plant-person in BE=DE duds. ]

[identitypolitics]

[ she snorts, rolls up her bingo card, and taps him on the chest lightly with it. ]

Good thing, or you might get written up for a uniform code violation. Let me know if you need any more help, though.

[at_heart]

[ A tiny smirk. ]

Oh, no. Whatever would I do.

[ His prom outfit is gonna be the most uniform code-violating thing he can think of that's technically still prom wear. ]

But I'll be sure to look you up.
