probe | Audience: Gojou Satoru

[a pause.]

Mm. [they take a step back closer to the shadows in the room, because they're... taking this as a dismissal, because they have the social skills of a toad.]

[ ........................ pride. GOJOU WANTS TO LAUGH BUT HE HAS FEARs. Just kidding, he will laugh in spite of those fears. ]

If you want, we can hang out? Try to take our mind off of things! It's been a tough day and all...

[ gojou is emotionally stunted too i hate this ]

[how does one even "hang out"]

If you want to. [they sound baffled as to why he would want to, though]

... It’s been a tough week for me, so anything to take my mind off of stuff would be good.

[ You hang out via vibing that is all. ]

Do you like movies? Videogames? Books...? Or have any hobbies?

Not really.

[what's a hobby.]

... Movies are fine.

[ ... you know what he gets you, pride, but in a different way. he's just good at everything or he's too busy. what are real "hobbies." ]

What kind of movies do you like then?

[i apologize for how this is going to be like pulling teeth]

Don't know. Any. [they didn't even know what a movie was before this place.]

[ IT IS OKAY. GOJOU IS USED TO THE SMALLEST CRUMB. Let him think! What would... Pride like? He probably shouldn't show them garbage movies?

He just gestures to Pride to follow him to the tv space. ]

You can't blame me if you hate it.

[ They can watch Spirited Away which is safe and does not feel bad. ]

[oh, honestly? they actually would really enjoy spirited away! so they follow and sit down with gojou, even though they seem sort of awkward about it. it's mostly that they don't... do this very often, not that they don't want to at all.]

[ How precious... When the movie ends, Gojou asks: ]

Soooo what do you think?

[they think about it for a moment.]

Wasn't bad. [...] I liked Haku.

Haku's really cool, right?

[ At least Gojou thinks so. Hehe. ]

This studio is known for making very good movies that are kind of similar in style to the one we watched. You can watch them with others whenever you want to spend time with them!

[ make... friends... ]

[what is a friend]

Those were all drawings, right? [also what's animation] Drawings put together very fast. Must take a while to make.

Yeah! It's called animation. It does take a while, but that's why they have a team to work on it. Charming, right? It's like a moving storybook.

[ just wait until he teaches pride slang but i hope we don't get there. ]

I can text you the list of titles?

[please teach pride slang]

I won't watch them on my own.

As I said, it’s if you want to watch any of them with someone else!

[ mod is chaotic for wanting slang. But gojou definitely here thinking Pride has friends. ]

Unless you want to watch them with lil’ ol’ me?

[that's me i'm chaos elmo]

If you want. [they sound very dismissive, but like. yeah. maybe they do.]

Then what about we pencil in every week from today? That's if I don't die.

[ He says it so casually HAHA. ]

[GOJOU]

... Fine. Not like I can stop you.

... You can stop me. You can say no or just not show up.

[ ????????? PRIDEEE. ]

Sometimes I wonder how hard your tsun is.

My what.

... Never heard of a tsundere?

I hear you all wasting time talking about it during trials. And then I tune you out.

You don't think it's entertaining to watch us lose our minds over chocolate?

[ Hehe! ]

Tsundere is an archtype for stories—someone cold, stern, and tough, but sometimes they show a little kindness. In this case, I'm talking about how tough you are. Tsun is that half while dere is the soft half.

[the hood tilts back as they stare at the ceiling in exasperation.]

Don't have a dere half. [... grouchily:] Not for you.
