[he's not wrong.]

It's not as linear as that. It's like...you're filling up a gauge. For every indulgence that you guys participate in, a little more of that gauge is filled. But it needs a lot to make sure that everybody gets what they came for, so that's why everyone has to participate.

Make sense?

[notaccurate]

Mmm, it does.

Is there any way to see our gauges? I would love to know how I'm doing in that regard.

[Thankfully he's been indulging a lot, and not just in horny ways.]

[probe]

I don't think so, but when you hit a certain rank you'll probably level up somehow! I'm sure you'll know when it happens.

[or you'll get a bonus prize.]

[notaccurate]

[like CHALK]

Will I at least get a small bit of music played to signify my accomplishment?

[probe]

Everybody deserves a fanfare for their accomplishments, right?

[notaccurate]

Exactly. That's the one part of those video games that everyone could use. Now I just need to pick a song.

[probe]

Something fun and jazzy but extra cool probably, right? That seems like it'd suit you.

[notaccurate]

You know, I was just thinking that. Now if only I could find a band to play some music.

[probe]

Does it have to be a live band? Maybe it can just be something else that plays music.

[notaccurate]

So like one of those video game systems, but it just plays music? That could work.

[probe]

Yeah. Like...here! [they reach into their sleeve and pull out an mp3 player and a pair of earbuds.] It should have a couple of songs on it.

[notaccurate]

Oh?

[What music does Lust listen to?]

[probe]

Yeah! I don't know if you'll like what's on there, but at least you can see what it's like.

[this particular mp3 has a few songs by artists such as ke$ha, lady gaga and ariana grande.]

[notaccurate]

[He's going to flip through the songs and wow I hadn't heard this song before.]

...

These are some interesting songs.

[probe]

Yeah. It's the kind of music I listened to a lot when I was younger and what I kind of aspire to be someday. Something fun and catchy, you know?

[notaccurate]

...you know, I got the impression that you're not that old.

[He seriously thinks you're like 18-20, Lust.]

[probe]

Prooobably because I'm not!

[he would be correct, yeah.]

Is that bad?

[notaccurate]

No, but it makes the use of 'when I was younger' particularly bizarre. You ARE young.

[probe]

I'm only nine years younger than you! [huff.]

[notaccurate]

Only nine years. Do you have any idea how much of a difference that makes?

[probe]

Not really. One of my friends is six years younger than me, and another one is six years older. We all get along just fine.

[notaccurate]

That's quite the age range there. But my point still stands: Nine years is a very long time. Hell, at that point in your life any amount of time is. I went from 'student' to 'married and with a newborn son' in less than two.

[probe]

But that's different. [is it?] Do you think you really changed that much as a person?

[notaccurate]

I changed some, yes. I got walked all over as a teenager.

[Don't tell him. Don't ruin his mental image of himself.]

[probe]

[...they will not tell him!]

Why? You seem pretty normal to me.
