Nope, Aoi's just stealing.

[ no shame. ]

[dotcom]

Ah.

Did you guys have a casino there?

[gamerbrain]

Don't think so... But we got new places sometimes. Maybe they got one after I left.

[dotcom]

Would it pop up randomly during the week?

[gamerbrain]

Think it was on Mondays, like here. But Aoi wasn't really keeping track of the days so much.

[dotcom]

Hm... well, you're probably not missing a casino there.

[ ... ]

How's everyone? You said they're all doing okay?

[gamerbrain]

[ she hesitates to answer, but... ]

Um... They're working really hard and they're getting along and doing what they have to because they want everyone to stay safe.

But they're dead, and that's sad, so they're sad and frustrated about it.

[dotcom]

Well, we're trying to figure out how to bring them all back. [ except for the robot but he doesn't say it out loud this time ] So we'll keep working here too.

Especially since if we fuck up enough here, we're all probably going to end up dead...

[ since the npcs are like. ready to kill them all. so. ]

[gamerbrain]

Hope we can do it. Doesn't seem fair that Aoi got to come back, especially if no one else does.

Oh. Maybe it was just easier to bring Aoi back instead of a real person?

[dotcom]

[ smooshes her cheeks together. ]

Stop that.

[gamerbrain]

[ she just talks through it, as per usual ]

It's just a theory.

[dotcom]

You know that's not why I'm doing this.

[gamerbrain]

Nope. Aoi's not sure why.

[dotcom]

How are you not a real person again?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi's a character in a visual novel.

[ wow how did takeru miss this!!! it's ok she can repeat herself!! ]

[dotcom]

I can't normally touch characters in visual novels.

[gamerbrain]

Is the rest of what happens in this place normal for you, though...?

[dotcom]

That's doesn't me--

[ hm. he can't move his hands from her face. ]

[gamerbrain]

[ amazingly, i had forgotten about this.

... but aoi is just acting like normal? it's fine! ]

Aoi was taken out of the game, but it doesn't change that Aoi is a fictional character.

And if we make it out of this, Aoi will go back into games.

[dotcom]

[ i actually forgot about it when i did it and only remembered after and cried

he tugs. lightly. ]

That doesn't mean you're not a person.

[gamerbrain]

[ she leans in the direction he tugs because it would kind of hurt otherwise. ]

Yes it does.

[dotcom]

It really doesn't. It just means that you're from a visual novel.

[gamerbrain]

Oh no, do you think all visual novel characters are alive? Aoi's not sure that's the case...

[dotcom]

No, but you are. You're breathing and talking to me.

[gamerbrain]

That's because Aoi would be creepy, otherwise.

[ ... like she isn't creepy anyway ]
