[that's true. they hum in agreement and they're about to say something else, but then yuri's choking.]

Oh, it's boba! Do you not like it? I can get you a milk tea without it.

[aubins]

[ give him a second here is this is weird-- ]

This is boba? [ he. he chews the pearls? ]

... They're chewy. What are they? [ i mean he's taking another sip, sooooo... ]

[probe]

Yup! They're little balls made with tapioca. They usually taste the same, but you can get different flavors of tea to go with it.

[aubins]

[ he takes another sip, slower this time. he's ready.




he chews it. ]

So ... why are they there then? They don't taste of anything, only the tea does. [ lust explain? ]

[probe]

It's a texture thing I think. I don't really know, actually. [now they're thinking about this.

they sip their own boba.]

I guess it's kind of the same way people use garnishes on eggs and stuff? It doesn't add much, but it adds just enough to make it unique.

[aubins]

Something for the sake of having something, is it?

[ siiiiiiiiiip ]

It's interesting. Kaz mentioned it a couple of weeks ago but I had no idea what he was talking about.

[probe]

Did any of us ever truly know what Kaz was ever talking about?

[aubins]

[



he just snorts. into his bubble tea. ]

No.

Did he? [ that man is dead, guys. be nice. ]

[probe]

I doubt it! [both of you are so rude.] But I never talked to him before he died anyway. There's a lot of you I've never spoken to still, actually.

[aubins]

[ hm! ]

Really? I'd have thought more people would be talking to you all. Who haven't you spoken with?

[probe]

Hm...do you really want the whole list?

[aubins]

[ the bigger question is does modty want to find and hand over the whole list ]

That, or people you haven't spoken to who you think you'd like to?

[probe]

Um...Endorsi, Mr. Satoru, Grace, Lenore, Medb, Megara, Mineo, Ming Yi, Omi, Primrose, Law, Vira...and some of the people who've died never talked to me either. Actually? Of the people who have died the only ones I talked to were Luca and Mr. Masters, but I didn't like him very much after what he said about Wrath.

[...siiiip.] I think that's right, anyway. I got curious after Envy made their list, so I made my own.

[aubins]

... That's a lot more than I would've thought. [ huh. ] I wonder if it's just they don't feel the need to, or don't have the time to?

[ hm. ]

Well, Vlad didn't make himself popular with that one. I don't think Fukuda made himself all that popular trying to make it seem like they could have killed someone just because fire was involved either. [ all the wrath stans unite! ]

.... Wait, Envy has a list of people who haven't spoken to him?

[probe]

Maybe a little of both. I don't mind so much because I have people like you that I like a lot anyway, so...it doesn't matter.

[but they laugh.] Yeah. Of all the boys, anyway. They mentioned it on our accidental broadcast so I asked to see the list myself.

[aubins]

Still. You're fun to talk to Little A. They don't know what they're missing.

[ ... heh. ] Oh, I right I remember that broadcast. Where you sneakily revealed who he has. I thought he just made a list of boys he thought were hot?

[ ...

although. hm. ]

Did you want me to teach you eyeliner, now that your face isn't such a secret? [ ... ] I've already seen under someone's hood here. Any changes that have happened since getting to this place aren't going to bother me.

[probe]

It's okay! I know people are busy so it's really not that big of a deal. [ahhh.]

He has a list of boys he thinks are really hot and then he also keeps track of which ones haven't talked to him. It's just a thing. [shrug!]

...are you sure? I don't have as many changes as some of the others but we can do that only if you still want to! [teach them.]

[aubins]

.... That's fairly accurate to his name, I guess. [ good for him. ]

I don't mind. It's more a your comfort kind of thing. But it'll be easier if I can do and you can copy.

[probe]

Yeah, I don't know if I can blame him too much. [haha.]

I don't mind! You already saw my memories anyway and it's not like I'm really hiding anything. I just like wearing the hood for the mystery.

[aubins]

[ haha...... ]

Then drop the mystery so I can show you how to draw eyeliner that could stab someone. [ it's what iris deserves! ]

[probe]

[...well! there's no preamble so off comes the hood! now that he can actually see her face, yuri will probably notice the heart-shaped pupils of her bright pink eyes and the way her hair is actually tied off into two twintails. the ends appear to be moving on their own, prehensile and shaping themselves into small hearts and waves. there seems to be something moving behind her bangs (and judging by the slight pink glow, it's likely a third eye), and from the collar of her hood the tips of two small rainbow-colored wings peak out. oh, and yes, she's wearing the cat headband.]

This good?

[aubins]

Much better. I like the little wings.

[ he wants to (aoi voice) boop them, but he will not. ]

Alright, let me get a good look at your eye shape and we'll go from there. You said you wanted to try cat eye flicks, didn't you?

[probe]

Yeah? I think they're kind of dumb sometimes because they're too little for flight, but they can be sort of cute.

[but she turns to let yuri look at her face!] I really do! Do you think they'd work on me?

[aubins]

[ hmmmmm. ]

They could do. [ hang on he's gonna dig out a liquid liner and give it a couple of swipes on the inside of his wrist. does fire emblem have liquid eyeliner? it does now. just maybe not in the pen format of modern times. ]

It's normally easier with practice, and if you have something to use as a guide -- like a little piece of card? That helps you keep the line straight, so you only have to worry about the angle they're at.

[probe]

I've seen some tutorials talk about using a spoon, but a card sounds way easier. But won't it also get in the way?
