Very Start of Week 3

[uzoda]

Guys... uh, hey, guys?

[The voice coming through the network is small, and a little drunk-sounding.]

Do any of you have experience with... if you're with someone but you're not infiltrating but they are infiltrating, and they still really like you? And what to do?

[This might be easier if Kenzaki even understood the question he was trying to get at. Alas.]

I didn't mind. But I don't mind... most things.

I definitely hit it off while infiltrating, more than once. It was awkward afterwards, but no-one took advantage of it.

I think the question you should ask is, how do you feel about this version of them? They're a real person from this world, and so they'll lose touch with you when we leave. If you do date them, you need to let them know it isn't long-term. And that you like them for who this version is, not who the Traveler sharing a body with them is.

That's the problem, that's the exact problem! I'm going to have to leave eventually and... and I know how this guy works. I had to leave him before, for real, and it was stupid that I did but I had to and it just wrecked him. I don't... I don't want to do that again.

So I've got to be honest? That I'm not going to be here long?

Unless you want him to feel the consequences if you lie about that.

Re: [Private, also with Psychic Protection I]

[uzoda]

I'm the worst liar. I can't lie about it. I mean, I can lie about why I've got to go, but... I can't tell him I'm not going to.

I just have a feeling that whatever I do, when we're all done this jaunt, he's gonna find me and punch me.

Re: [Private, also with Psychic Protection I]

[fridgeninja]

That's possible.

Re: [Private, also with Psychic Protection I]

[uzoda]

Sometimes that feels like it sums the relationship up too well...

[He manages a whine through the psychic connection.]

Well. I can take it. If I have to.

Re: [Private, also with Psychic Protection I]

[fridgeninja]

Then do your best, and do things you won't be ashamed of later, and you'll do fine.

[uzoda]

Ngggh... [But there are so many things that he's done that he's already ashamed of...]

I'll try. I'll do that. I'll try doing that.

...thanks, okay?
