[ he's gonna be in the planetarium. he'll get up and peek his head out of the doorway. ]

Lust, that you?

[probe]

[yuri's in the planetarium, and he can hear his name almost perfectly clear which is something given that there's at least a few moments between him hearing that and the elevator doors opening as lust wanders out.]

Oh! Stargazing?

[aubins]

[ lustjima everywhere. ]

I guess? It's nice and peaceful in here too. [ and he might've had a lil' something something to drink and dark is nice. ]

[probe]

I haven't spent too much time in here, but I've heard it's nice. [but they don't want to interrupt either!] Wanna go back in?

[aubins]

[ he makes a lil grabby hand motion to take lust's hand and bring them in. ]

Sure. Just don't ask me what any of the stars mean, I don't even have a clue about the ones back home.

[probe]

[hands! they will latch onto yuri's hand and let themselves be led inside.]

I'm not too familiar with stars either. They're nice to look at and I know a little about planets but nothing that's really deep or anything.

[aubins]

[ yaaaaaay ]

Oh I didn't even know they weren't moving across the sky, and it was us that were moving instead until... oh, about five years ago?

I just come in here to enjoy the peace and the sights.

[probe]

Hehe. Like I said to you before, stars are a big part of space, too. Where I'm from, our planet's revolving around the sun so that's why we see different constellations at different times of the year, too.

But it's nice when you want somewhere quiet where people aren't gonna bother you. I don't blame you.

[aubins]

I have no idea what's revolving around what, but... I know the stars aren't the ones moving now, at least.

[ ... ]

Yeah. A little peace and quiet is appreciated from time to time.

[probe]

It counts for something. [but they look up at the stars and yuri can probably see the pink glow under their hood from their eyes.]

Did you want to be alone? I just came to find you because my phone started acting weird.

[aubins]

[ i am rattling my brain trying to figure out who she is so much ahhHHHHH. ]

Nah. I don't mind your company. [ although? ] Your phone's acting up?

I mean, it's not like I can help fix it but I'm assuming it hasn't done this before?

[probe]

[:3]

Hm? Oh, no, it does this weird thing where my messages stop going through after a while. That hasn't happened to you yet?

[aubins]

Oh, around... what 19 or 20 messages? That thing?

...

Honestly I thought that was just how these things worked.

[probe]

It's not supposed to be like that. Most phones have unlimited texting these days.

[aubins]

Seriously?

... that would be so much more convenient here. You have no idea why it’s doing this?

[probe]

No. I don't really know much about repairs either or I'd fix it myself. I guess it's not that big of a deal though.

[aubins]

It still sends the messages though, so... at least there's that? Better some functions than none.

[probe]

That's how I feel, too. It makes it a lot easier to track people down in this place than running all over hoping to run into each other.

[aubins]

At least we can still do that. Even at a bare minimum. Running around after people can be incredibly time consuming.

[ ... ]

...

This is going to keep happening now, isn't it?

[probe]

...yeah. [they won't lie to him, at least.] Now that people see they can get away with it, I wouldn't be surprised if it continued.

But it still sucks.

[aubins]

... Figured as much. Two weeks isn't exactly a coincidence, it's more of a pattern.

[probe]

Yeah. I wish people found a better way to indulge than this, but this is what they're choosing now.

[aubins]

Right? Indulges are pretty flexible. But I guess when that swings to murder, it could be counted as a backfire.

[probe]

If you get caught. Why do you think the murderers go to huge lengths to make sure that doesn't happen?

[aubins]

Not having to take part in a fight to the death would be a pretty big motivator for me. But let me guess -- it counts as a pretty powerful indulgence to murder and not get caught for it?
