Huh? With yours, or with his?

[gamerbrain]

His.

[bachelorbored]

Forget his! He sucks!

[but all the adrenaline is draining out, now. he sighs, and flumps back on to his mattress.]

What's done is done. Let's just go back to sleep, okay?

[gamerbrain]

[ well she's not going to argue so she just climbs into bed with kaz? ]

[bachelorbored]

[this

might as well happen, he guesses. it keeps happening and it hasn't stopped happening every time he says "hey you have your own bed" and tries to switch with her, so

fuck it! they're co-sleeping buddies, now. he muffles a groan.]

Uhhh. Right. Well. Goodnight.

[and scoots to about as far to the edge as he can get.]

I'm respecting your personal space! As a woman!

[gamerbrain]

[ at least she doesn't scoot closer. she just stays on the side she's on and makes herself comfy! ]

You don't have to do that.

[bachelorbored]

Okay but I'm doing it anyway!

[in the dark, he gives a completely invisible thumbs-up.]

I respect you, Aoi!

[gamerbrain]

You don't have to.

[ this... is just a loop. okay. ]

[bachelorbored]

[...

he reaches out and pats her awkwardly on the head.

pat. pat.]

Get some rest, okay?

[gamerbrain]

[ she sure gets a lot of head pats since coming here. anyway she settles in. ]

Got it.

[bachelorbored]

[...]

You do sleep, right?

[gamerbrain]

Yep. Aoi likes sleeping in a bed.

[bachelorbored]

Please tell me it recharges you a little?

[gamerbrain]

[ hmmm she has to think about it? ]

... A little.

[bachelorbored]

But the... zappy thing, that's the fastest?

[gamerbrain]

Yep.

Sticking things in an outlet works too, in a pinch. But Aoi hasn't seen any outlets here.

[bachelorbored]

An outlet?!

You're serious about the zappy thing!

[gamerbrain]

Yep. It's Aoi's purpose.

[bachelorbored]

So, any electric charge?

[gamerbrain]

[ hmm. she shakes her head. ]

Aoi just exists to collect CGs. But the zappy from an outlet can help Aoi out sometimes. Give Aoi a little bit of energy.

[bachelorbored]

What's a CG?

[gamerbrain]

Event art. It unlocks when you experience a special moment.

[bachelorbored]

What... makes an event special enough for limited-edition art?

[gamerbrain]

It varies.

There are usually some early-game CGs to establish a character's charm. Later on they could be for any impactful moments. Without the game script, Aoi can't tell.

[bachelorbored]

So, you don't know if we've already had one or not without the... script?

[???

he's treading water but drowning all the same]
