[Plenty of things could be explained with science, arts, or magic! His access to Rhodes Island medical files meant he could get a pretty good overview of people's abilities unless they were behind high clearance. It's true, though, that outright changing was pretty impossible in his mind.]
[So there had to be a trick to it, right?]
So, you could copy a guy in one of these videos? How much do you gotta see exactly?
[Aak sits up in his seat, eager to play around with the idea. Of course, with the stranger on the other side of the partition, he can't he certain the transformation is 100% complete. He's just not quite ready to abuse the Lust buttons to go look.]

[ it's true. no one's rly a virgin because life has fucked them over several times or something like that.
she hums in deep thought, narrowing her eyes at the button as if it's beckoning her to, before she gives up and presses it too. ]
Honestly, I'm getting tired of talking to people behind a damn wall. I hear some people are into the whole anonymity thing, but they can just not give out their names, you know?
[ the partition rolls up, revealing a woman with absurdly long hair, freckles, and an oversized shirt; when she raises her hand to wave, the sleeve rolls down to reveal her club suit tattoo covering up her whole arm. ]
Hey.

[ she does not have a voice kink, unfortunately. she returns his quirk of a brow with a slight frown. ]
Yeah, well. Most of my height went to my hair, I guess.
[ she's actually pretty tall compared to most girls here??? her average white woman height... but it's no skin off her nose, so she just shrugs that off and gestures to some more unopened drinks sitting nearby. ]
Want some? Can't finish this all by myself.

[That is certainly a trick. If Aak ever learns it, he'll be grateful he didn't lead with "can you copy me?"]
That's what makes it fine? [Aak is skeptical but it's enough for him to hit the play button on the latest movie he tabbed over. This one was called "District Fine" and involved some sort of segregated alien section of the planet. It apparently has a deeper message but they do still manage to fit in thirty minutes of sex scenes with the insectoid underclass aliens.]
[they can still chat through the introductory worldbuilding, though,]
Feline. [a beat] Why were those your first two options?

While he doesn't know the vore lore, isn't it a nice thought? To still carry a piece of a precious person inside you, and not just the emptiness of their absence. But so often, the latter is louder—so much more present, encroaching outward, ready to swallow up what little is left of someone you love into its void.
At least it sounds like this man has someone else to worry about. It's a good distraction. Nehan's tone dips slightly, not exactly warm, but less barbed. A little more natural. ]
Some drugs are safer than others. Sometimes it takes trial and error, and a watchful eye from a doctor who monitors symptoms and manages dosages... [ He trails off briefly. ] But most people in a bad enough state get desperate. Take your friend, for instance. If he hadn't slept in a few days, and he's panicking, wouldn't he grasp at any relief he could?
[ ... ]
Some medication would probably help your friend. But it's rarely a cure, and as with anything, it can be difficult to manage alone.

Correct! ♪
[... Obikawa has a point, though. And some of the possibilities he suggests have Hiyori's nose wrinkling. Ugh.]
We just dealt with monsters! And that would be completely the wrong holiday.
[But he slumps a little as he admits:]
We will have to postpone if things get too hectic, though. I know last year everyone got paired off in fake "marriages" and forced into wedding suites.
[Including him. That was how he woke up here, which means it's been almost a full year for him. Double ugh.]

[Aak still fidgets, lighting dragging his fingers over the remote's buttons while he listens. He didn't need to actually change settings now he just needed something extra while he's trapped in a room like this. It was usually fiddling with the Watch but for one stupid activity they decided to make it a deadweight accessory.]
Isn't that prejudiced thinking? [He's come far enough to not correct anyone with "Vulpo" or "Ursus" since he knows what they mean. The stereotypes might not even be the same between worlds. He can't know which one he's agreeing with until he knows that, really.]
I'd say I'm human but you're not the first person to think I'm not.
[and it helped to not immediately compare him with a pet]
But who says we'd fight? We're getting along great, aren't we?

I was just exaggerating. But it's either that or we try out... those?
[ gesturing not-so-discreetly at the chest full of toys. she wouldn't be opposed to it, but after trying out bad dragon dildos with a complete stranger not too long ago, she's not really in the mood for those unless the guy's really good at convincing her. or when she's Drunk drunk. ]
But... yeah. sure. It's a cool name, I guess. [ an uncaring shrug. ] Where'd you get that from?

Both of those sound alarmingly possible! But let's try not to jinx it, shall we?
[He has a feeling it'll be worse than both of those ideas, now that he thinks of it. Aren't they due for another one of those "games" by now? Though then again, they did let the other winter holidays pass by normally, save for the room mix-ups... But no, Valentine's Day is a couple's holiday. Plus they celebrated it last year! Triple ugh.
At least Obikawa's reaction to the fake marriage thing serves as a distraction.]
You missed out on your honeymoon?
[Excuse his disbelief. He barely knows this guy, but Mr. Janitor sure didn't strike him as a married man!]
Does that mean your spouse is here with you? If so, how's that been working out?

Well, what's the point of changing stuff if you don't play around with it? It doesn't have to be like that one,
[he gestures with the remote, even though it's a completely unseen gesture. On screen, the alien dick seems to have at least passed a basic level of weirdness. It gets hard, lengthening into three separate segments with the segment closest to the tip covered in tiny tentacles.]
just the idea you can change it at is interesting! And maybe I do wanna watch it do some tricks... but it's not like I can make you do anything you don't wanna.
[Would he try to manipulate the situation to create an environment where Mr. "As a Snake" wants to? Probably. But that doesn't count because then he wants to.]

just those facts alone already have her flustered. he's not wrong, human contact will always be better than trying to get off with some toy, but -- ]
I... I got them from my parents? What do you mean from a stranger? Did you kill someone for that name?!
