Let's play a game...!

Oof. [Puts a hand over his heart.] Oh, the pain. I'm not sure I will ever get over this pain, but I will try.

[bowtiedbones]

Pine forever!

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Dramatic sigh.] Could I have one last hug? [Standing up though.]

[bowtiedbones]

[trying SO HARD to keep the angry!!! face up]

I'll allow it! I am merciful.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He's just very amused by it.]

[And now Eliza is getting a hug.]

[After a moment gonna lift her off her feet to boot.]

[It's so rare he can be the utter terror, he enjoys it.]

[bowtiedbones]

[yelps! and OH NO that's the break to giggles, hanging onto his shoulders and laughing]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Chuckling and will set her down after a moment.] There we go. What else do you need to do?

[bowtiedbones]

A lot of things, but giving a massage will get me a bingo. Want one?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Sure.

[Will turn and sit down so she can reach.]

....I need one more square to finish my card.

But....

[bowtiedbones]

[starts on his shoulders, just lightly kneading for now]

Already??

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He's got a lot of tension, but at least trying to relax under her hands.]

You know me. [Aggressive socializer.]

The problem is this is 'share a kink' square.

[bowtiedbones]

[digs in harder, putting some of her weight into it]

Oh, but— wait do you even have any of those?

[she has the same square on her card. thinking, does SHE have any of those either???]

[schrodingerscockroach]

At least while under a Charm Affect thanks to Vampire.

[Flatly.]

[bowtiedbones]

A— kink you temporarily used to have could still technically maybe count as yours? It doesn't say it has to be a presently held interest.

[schrodingerscockroach]

True. And it's not like I know I wouldn't be interested if I was interested in someone. Just because it's mostly no interest doesn't mean there can't be exceptions.

So like that's mostly true, probably.

[bowtiedbones]

Yeah... Do you want to tell me, though? Or someone who's actually into those kinds of thing?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Its awkward no matter what.

....I can just keep it down to one word. Not like it specifies detail.

[bowtiedbones]

Okay.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Guh]

[So much tension, and putting a hand over his face.]

Control.

[bowtiedbones]

[she's just going to count that much tension for both her massage squares. two massages for you buddy]

Yyeah, that should count. Um. Congratulations on the blackout?

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He is a ball of tension and he knows it, seems legit.]

Thanks.

What else have you got so we can move on from that?

[bowtiedbones]

Begging, bets, wrestling— that one's really easy if I turn into a wolf, tell a secret, talk about my most important person, compliment someone, roleplay, play a prank, talk about my kinks if I can think of one..., ask for advice, use a pick-up line, pet someone, give a gift, confess, and make a pact.

I have a lot to get through.

[schrodingerscockroach]

That's fine.

Well, you could always tell me more about your most important person.

[bowtiedbones]

That one's kind of hard though! Like you'd assume it's Seo, and it could be, but there's arguments for it being Jonathan, Lisa, or even Lavendar.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Ah, that problem. I had that too.

Could always tell me a bit about each?

Could do the pet thing since that means talking with someone a while anyway?
