you've never been to Japan I take it. [ Younger people are cool about most things, but it's the adults that really set the tone for what is and isn't acceptable and woe betide any toes inching out of line. ]
def a win. you're welcome btw
[ Truly Ren is the gift that will continue to give and you can't return him. ]
[She's not counting this place, because she's still not sure how to even classify it. Either time.]
Am I?
[Considering the gift in question had been from Hunk and she's fairly certain the two have never met, Pidge honestly has no idea what he's referring to.]
[ Luckily - at least in this case - Duplicity is hardly a normal city, so the strangeness of going into a sex shop with a relative stranger isn't so strange. Keith has seen and done stranger things, anyway.
Also he's mildly interested when it sounds like they might make a race out of it, but then Ren totally doesn't follow through on that, so. It was probably another joke.
He blinks, then smiles just slightly at the introduction. ]
I'm Keith.
[ He is also competitive enough that he edges towards the lube aisle as he's talking, but he keeps getting distracted, his gaze wandering to the shelves as his curiousity gets the better of him. He can't help it when they have a whole display set up to show off their shiny new "alien" range of shaped vibrating dildos, okay, it's very... eye-catching. ]
Hey boy, are you sleep? Because I don't get nearly enough of you and it's ruining my social, emotional, and overall mental health.
[There are probably better ways to go about checking in on one's friends after something strange has happened to everyone, but Pidge cannot be bothered to figure them out at this point.]
[ If there were better ways of touching base with friends after one of Duplicity's regularly scheduled escape rooms then Ren wouldn't know one, having already done much the same himself some weeks back. ]
Oh heyyy, is that what brings your royal cuteness to my humble inbox? That can be easily fixed, just saying. Now that I'm done throwing up like two days straight after returning to normal gravity, so good news, I'm extra handsome now.
[Who needs a better way when this one works just fine?]
It is. We should work on fixing that soon. [How long has it been? She can't say for sure, but it feels like too long.] Oof. Yea, I definitely don't miss that part. Are you feeling better, at least?
Better now that I've heard from you. My likewise Pidgeless existence has been middling to low quality, though I don't know that I'd have wanted you to see me hugging porcelain. Kinda ruins the glamorous, mysterious aura I've cultivated.
[ Please ignore the goofball behind the curtain. ]
Very kind of you to agree~. Anywho you get through okay? I bet your a liiiittle bit more used to space, at the very least.
Glad I can help. You're right, though. That's probably something I didn't need to see. [It's a relief to hear that he's doing better now, though. Besides, she's pretty fond of the goofball behind the curtain.]
I have my moments. And yea. It was bearable. For the most part. [She'd even managed to survive two full weeks of being tethered to Lance, of all people.]
It wasn't like that before, honestly. I think I almost would've preferred fighting the Galra to being stuck in that ship.
Good to hear. Not that you can't take care of yourself, but "stuck on you" seemed to take on a whole new meaning recently.
Can't argue with that. Fighting is nice and straightforward, and you know what's expected of you. Being dropped into a space hell sandbox is... well, not that different from how we got dropped in Duplicity all of a sudden, I guess. Having to figure out what it all means all over again sucks. Sleeping is better. Mmm, sleep.
Sadly shenanigans overrode birthday plans. I didn't have any plans outside of finding a tiramisu somethingsomething, but even that was ruined. Rude. Extremely rude.
Oh whoa, I must have totally missed that. I think I, like, hibernated through last month like a bear. Probably from eating too much candy at that festival.
So how was it on the other side of the railroad tracks? No lasting effects, I hope.
pretty decent, but not halloween candy-good. I could teach you my sleepy ways. Very useful when the weather is awful, for instance.
Well, I'm glad there don't seem to be any adverse effects. I was a sub for that one mirror universe thing way back in, what, March? Real weird to know how used to being a dom I've gotten.
Over here another one of my friends showed up. Akechi isn't happy. He might come knock on your door and throw himself on the ground.
Nothing will ever be Halloween candy-good. But yes. Please teach me your hibernation techniques, glasses-senpai.
[Why is she like this? Who knows, but maybe his sleepy ways will prove to be more effective than hers.]
I was a sub for half a year the first time I was here, so I know the feeling. It's kind of scary, how easy it is to get used to being a Dom.
I'd say congratulations, but I really wouldn't wish this place on anyone. I hope your friend is adjusting well, at least. And that's good to know. Think I should invest in one of those fancy fainting couches?
un: nyerd
Just wanted to make sure you survived Christmas.
un: jokerswild
short answer: yep. long answer: debatable. I think I got a hangover?
no subject
Is that the only thing you have to show for it?
no subject
a lot remains to be seen.
you?
no subject
And I got a present, which was more than I was even expecting. So... win?

un; brushstrokes - late, after the hotel incident with akechi
Is Akechi with you?
un: jokerswild
He stopped by but he left just as fast.
Did something happen? Need me to come get you?
no subject
I did not force him to, or even request it, but I believe he is quite distressed about it anyway.
no subject
That's surprising.
Not his reaction - that's pretty normal when he does something that he didn't expect he'd do.
no subject
I was sure you would be the first to offer. This place holds many surprises.
no subject
I'm almost sure he didn't intend it himself. Akechi rarely if ever allows himself to be submissive, designation be damned.
I think technically I still can be? It didn't sound like he offered before. IF YOU WANT.

no subject
I am in awe of your ability to voluntarily hibernate. I hope the candy was good, at least.
And you know. It wasn't much different from the last time I was here. Stayed in, mostly. Guess Hunk had a swap too. He's back to normal now, though.
