[pushpin]

u havent been to a vr room ?
what the hell
lemme take u

aint u supposed to be off spankin the monkey

[swordhardy]

Hm? No, not once. Did I tell you that?

It's...

Fake, right? You just... lie there and see things that aren't real?

maybe im doing both.....

[pushpin]

[DOESN'T ANSWER THAT]

um
i guess kinda but its not like pictures, its everything
feelings too, like the way grass feels & smells & stuff
i really like takin picnics in that one

wow.......... filthy

[swordhardy]

Oh. Like an illusion, then

Picnics? That's cute

What else have you done in them?

HE'S NOT OK this is prob like next day

[pushpin]

shut up
mostly just stuff like that....
swimming once & fishing w/ this weird guy
he bought me at the auction but that was all he wanted
couldn't keep nothin he just liked it
i guess sakata was a giant asshole in 1 but at least he made a hot girl....

feels special

[swordhardy]

Oh yeah? Fishing's pretty fun, haven't done that in a while. Sometimes it's nice to just have a hobby

He what ??

good bc u are

[pushpin]

guess so
i thought it was kinda lame & boring but whatever
each their own

he...... nvm its dumb dont ask

[swordhardy]

Yeah, you like being more active, don't you? Like that basket game

??? Now I want to know

[pushpin]

uh
yea mostly sometimes i like to be slow when im alone
being chill w/ it sometimes is cool

[being chill with you was amazing]

of course u do u always want to know when u think i say something enticing
fuck off

[swordhardy]

Yeah? So you'll meditate with me?

I just want the whole story! That's normal. But anyway, if it's with you, I'll do it

[pushpin]

what
no
hell no
i knew there was a trick here

u realize u protest that ur normal so much that u cant possibly be, right
good
it wasnt a option anyway

[i command this ship]

[swordhardy]

Seriously? But it really does the body good! Cleanes the spirit

I'm a daemon, of course I'm not normal. But you always think the normal things I do are weird?

Oh? Why, have something specific you want to do with me in mind?

[pushpin]

then why is urs still so filthy

that doesnt make sense ? why would i think normal things are weird
u dont do normal things

oh
um
maybe
what the hell......
why dont u ever answer things the right way

[swordhardy]

Haha... guess there's a point when you can't be salvaged. But you should try it!

You don't see it? Really? Ahhh, I guess it's fine. But I definitely do normal things sometimes!

Sorry? How was I supposed to answer

[pushpin]

well maybe mine cant be neither

it is fine
u dont gotta fake nothin w/ me

i dont know
its like i try to tell u somethin & u intentionally steer the wrong way

[or is he the one doing that... confused]

[swordhardy]

Maybe. So you'll do it?

I know. I wouldn't try to

Hm? I figured since you said I had no choice that there was something you wanted to do. That far off?

[pushpin]

ugh
u really want me to ? like really really ?

ok

no it was more that id pull my favor if u said no
i like showin u stuff
especially if u ain't seen it before
are u scared or somethin ?

[swordhardy]

Yeah, let's do it together

"Scared" huh... I don't think that's the right word. "Uncertain"? That might be it. But I'll do it anyway

[pushpin]

....fine
dont be annoyed if i mess it up

[five minutes into Sitting Up Straight, he'll whine his back hurts]

uncertain
bout what

[swordhardy]

All right! I look forward to it

... It? I'm just finally getting used to the bracelet. I'm not unfamiliar with illusions but this is from technology right?

[pushpin]

ok

oh
i mean..... i can help you w/ that too ?
show u some stuff
it wasn't quite like this for me back home either but i bet it was closer than u

& u know it cant hurt u, right

[or... is that the problem?]

much
well it hurts if u get hit, it just doesnt last once u walk out the door

[swordhardy]

Stuff? There's more than just the card and using it to talk to people?

Doesn't last... yeah, that makes sense. Can you show people whatever you want?

[pushpin]

yea !
u can take & save pictures & play music and movies & stuff too
some of its cool

um i dunno maybe
ive only been in the ones that were already made & not messed w/ the controls myself

[swordhardy]

Really? I had no idea! That does sound pretty cool. Show me how to take pictures!!

Gotcha. Well... if that's something you can do, I want to show you something, sometime. But for now — when do you want to do this?

[pushpin]

[instead of just confirm it, there's a photo of him attached, recumbent on what's no doubt his couch and in dark pajamas, thumb raised and the lopsided quirk of a grin]

eh ? sure
ill make time for u whenever u want
i can go tomorrow afternoon for this though
