[eventually, later, there's another knock on gojou's door and when he opens it he'll have to really look down because lust is almost a foot shorter than he is. but they seem to be radiating a calm sort of energy, a little uncertain but mostly curious.]

Hi Mr. Gojou. [a wave!] I was thinking up ideas on the way here, and I might have a solution for your dolphin.

[mukagen]

[ .. oh my god looks down. Gojou emits something happy! Cheerful, hoping that she can enjoy herself with.

Dolphin child. ]

Just Gojou or my first name is fine. [ gesp. ] What are they!

[probe]

[to be fair, it's pretty blatantly obvious by now that lust is a young lady and she does like cute things! so dolphin child will help.]

Welll....we can definitely get like a cart or something to make a portable aquarium! The problem is that you'd have to probably push it yourself. Unless it's a motorized cart? It'd have to be a little smaller.

Or we just create another creature that can help it get around.

[mukagen]

I was hoping there would be something that would let the dolphin choose where to go itself?

[ Gojou Satoru, wanting his dolphin to have agency in where it goes on land for like a whole day. ]

But I don't mind showing it around. Motor cart sounds good. Another creature would be cute, but I'd also want the dolphin to be... Wet? It needs to be wet, right?

[probe]

Technically yes, but since it's a boon creature it's a little different. It's also more intelligent than you think! If you just tell it that you want to let it go where it wants to go, I think it'll figure stuff out. We can make a little cart for it with water and then it can learn to drive if you don't want to always be with it.

[this is a very stupid idea, but she seems to think this will help.]

[mukagen]

[ stop it is stupid but it is precious idea?? ]

That sounds cute... Though now I feel bad because it sounds like it has to learn when it has a short time?

[ IF DOLPHIN WAS HERE FOREVER, YEAH, HE WOULD MAKE IT LEARN, but it is here till Monday. ]

Hm. I think I might do with the carting it around places method.

[probe]

I've always heard dolphins are really smart, so maybe it'd be okay? [she tilts her head.] But since it really only has all day tomorrow it should get to see as much of the base as possible. You're pretty strong, right?

[mukagen]

Yeah! I'm pretty strong. A tank for it shouldn't be an issue for me as long as it's on wheels.

[probe]

Okay! Let's see...[she takes a few steps back to make sure there's room before reaching into the sleeve of her cloak. please don't ask about the physics of this, but she pulls out a steel service cart on wheels! there's a tank in the center, so it's more like the cart itself is built around the glass tank. it is also filled with water. the top is open if the dolphin wants to pop out of the water to see things, but there is space for it to vibe inside the tank.]

...whoa. These things really are magic. [lust why are you surprised.] This should work though!

[mukagen]

[ When Lust does the Avatar things Avatars do, Gojou still applauds?! So cool?!?!

Dolphin friend looks at the cart so he will pass it over to check out the tank! See how it likes it. ]

Are you from a place where that isn't normal? Taking things out of sleeves is very magician.

[probe]

[it's also a nice temperature for dolphin friend, so she hopes dolphin friend likes it? she'll even stick her fingers in the water and swirl it invitingly while dolphin gets a good look.]

I'm from Tokyo. [just pointblank.] A normal version of it. We don't have the same kind of sorcery you guys do, and I'm definitely not a magician.

[mukagen]

[ dolphin friend likes... how can it not like?! It chitters. He pets it in the tank and it rolls around in it. ]

So more like... Mineo and Sasazuka's Tokyo.

[ Mineo has a gun and guns are a normie weapon. ]

How do you like magic?

[probe]

Yeah, but without the lockdown either. [there are many tokyos, she's learning. and the chittering from the dolphin gets another wave of cheerfulness. gojou (and yuri, by proxy) made a good call telling her about this thing.]

I'm going to miss being able to create stuff whenever I want if I ever get to go back. It's so convenient! But I wonder if I could keep even half of my powers for later.

[mukagen]

[ Yuri out here being like LUST MY GIRL and gojou is like ok yuri i care you so i will show lust dolphin. Can the dolphin give emotions, too.... Well Gojou is happy to see that she's cheerful. Bubbles of cheerful in here. ]

Got a taste of power and want to bring it home, huh?

[ It's a joke since he means like convenient things, not actual POWER. ]

[probe]

[that's because yuri is simply the best. one of my npcs hates him and one of them adores him and becks has to just suffer.]

Hehe, something like that. Think about how much easier it'd be, like if I had a really important test at school but I forgot a pencil! I could just summon one right before I needed it without worrying about it. Or maybe even like snacks while I'm waiting for recording session or something if I got hungry and didn't have any extra money.

[small-scale dreams...]

But the powers we can give you guys have been pretty good, too.

[mukagen]

[ bless yuri and his swatches of npc reactions. ]

You want to give other people hickeys as a prank?

[ HEHEHE. ]

Oh, are you a music artist? Or a voice actor.

[ Squints. ]

[probe]

It's kind of funny, isn't it? But that one's not mine! I have other stuff I can do though.

[sound less mischievous, lust.]

I'm an idol! Mostly on the internet right now but I've been trying to expand my career.

[mukagen]

Wow! Our very own idol on the station. An idol with powers.

[ Like a magical girl? ]

All right. What’s your best prank, then?

[probe]

Yup! [she even poses? which really just looks like her hands move to form a letter A.]

My best one...I can make people feel extra flirty. Or I can make two people attracted to each other. But I would only intervene if it was two people who looked like they needed a push oooor if I needed to break up a fight.

[like aoi and sqx.]

[mukagen]

[ Applauds more for her!! ]

Oh, right! That’s what White and Molly suffered from? It was really funny—makes me wish I got a power that could be used as a fun prank.

The mood has been... Bad, lately.

[ He says that, but he keeps his emotions in check cause he knows Lust is also going through stuff. ]

[probe]

You could always just ask. [she pets dolphin friend.] I don't mind giving things out and I know some of the others don't either.

I guess maybe...because the mood's been bad, people don't want to try to have something fun to focus on. Which is sort of silly because then you're just wallowing in misery and that's not great either.

[mukagen]

[ Gojou is pensive on that, thinking back on weeks before. ]

Yeah, wallowing in misery is bad. That’s how you spiral!

[ hmm. ]

Then you wouldn’t mind giving me the same thing used on Molly and White? Just to lighten things up...

[probe]

[her own mood turns inquisitive.]

Who do you think you'd use it on? Got any ideas?

[mukagen]

I was thinking Mineo and Takeru! Because Mineo always said that he’d like to see a soft Takeru, but then he’s also been keeping himself from relationships despite getting a handful of confessions cause he wants to commit his time... As Takeru’s partner. Professional.

[ Lust. Do you understand his gripe here. Also, doxxes Mineo to an Avatar just cause. ]

I think it’d be entertaining. Maybe eye-opening as they can be more sincere about their friendship since... Mineo has effectively stated Takeru is the most important to him.

[ Bro, the apparently not gay but also kind of gay shit he had to listen to ]

[probe]

[she sure does. but there's also a flutter of worry after that and something a little like protectiveness following.]

Do you think that's a good idea right now after what just happened? [normally she'd say yes, but.] Takeru seemed pretty mad...and when it wore off, would they be able to recover?

Plus...I don't know. There are other people I don't want to hurt by putting Mineo in love with someone else. [it's not a no, it's lust being worried about people's feelings because she's so incredibly biased about a few tsuns.]
