And I dunno. There's always a first time for everything, Elysium.

[ something something about making him walk the plank ]

[transmit]

[ considering that she didn't fly into one after he'd brought up her sexy bunny outfit fiasco, does he need to be safe anymore? hm…. ]

Yeah? Trying to throw me over your shoulder like a sack of potatoes too? Sheesh…! It's tough being a normal guy.

[wheft]

You're anything but normal, and you know it.

[ stop downplaying yourself you freak :/ ]

[transmit]

I'd like to think that I'm a lot more normal than the guys who could take on hundreds (literal) of the last kaiju we encountered all at once.

[ we're not talking about that :( ]

[wheft]

Not everyone who can pull that off enjoys it, though.

[ in other words, it's a skill issue on elysium's party u_u ]

[transmit]

I wouldn't enjoy it either?

[ if they were speaking, it'd be in the cadence of: "See? Normal." ]

[wheft]

[ ... ]

I guess you really are ordinary.

[ damn. not even ishmael can defend herself. she and her bloodied hands. ]

And are you satisfied with that?

[transmit]

With a face and bod like mine, am I really?

[ … because he has to take the low-hanging fruit. as one does. especially when they follow up with: ]

… But I wonder, sometimes. At least, I'm content that I've found something only I can do. That's enough for now.

[wheft]

[ she sure walked into that one. damn you pretty people :/ ]

Good answer. Even though you're still a freak when you threw him that party.

[ she's never going to let that go 🧍 ]

[transmit]

Aw, c'mon. Blaming a guy for being a little shy and not knowing how else to break into the scene?

It's not like I've been up to anything since!

[wheft]

Somehow I *really* doubt that.

[ guys like him are always cooking... ]

[transmit]

It's been two months. How much longer do I need to show good behaviour for




Miss

Ishmael?

[ ♪ ]

[wheft]

[ he jests but -- ]

One more month. Just to make sure you're sticking around for the long term.

[ yeah. ]

[transmit]

Are you this strict with everyone, or do I have the honour of being an exception?

[wheft]

No, I gave the same time limit to people like March too.

[transmit]

[ … ]

… That's bleak, wow.

Will you move the bar up if someone disappears at the three month mark?

[wheft]

I doubt that's going to change anytime soon. For now, it's a good compromise. If they stayed around for more than three months, that's great! But if it's less, then... at least my time with them wasn't wasted.

[ her abandonment issues......... ]

[transmit]

I'll do my best to exceed that measure, then.

But you're right that there aren't any guarantees. Haha.

[wheft]

But I thought your... condition is stable right now. Dismissals aside.

[transmit]

[ oh…

he's actually kind of surprised that she remembers. well! good thing they aren't in person for her to catch his surprise. ]

I meant if anything gets me first it'll be the kaiju
Or disappearing out of nowhere
The first I can control, the second not so much

But yeah, it is stable. It's really not an issue

[ probably! ]

[wheft]

Well, you'd better stay alive till the time limit is up.

It'd be too bad if you just went up and disappear one day after everything.

[transmit]

Got it.
Wouldn't want to disappoint my first friend here

[wheft]

First what??

voice

[transmit]

[ ish will regret asking for clarification ]

I wouldn't want to disappoint my first friend here!

voice

[wheft]

All right, all right! I get it! You don't have to say it twice...

[ she regrets this so much bro.......... ]
