[ During one of the lulls between storms, a certain individual may or may not be losing his mind. Welcome to the network's first anonymous post! What better way of breaking in the function than… drum roll… ]

️‍🔥 HOT OR NOT: DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE NEO TOKYO'S HOTTEST OUTSIDER? ️‍🔥

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Post a photo: Upload some photos, any photos, preferably ones that showcase your unique style. Keep it safe for work, folks!

2. Get rated & rate others: Are they hot, hot, hot (10)? Or are they not, not, not (1)? Share your thoughts using anything from a sliding scale of 1-10, to ✅ or ❎s, to whatever else you can think of. Agree? Disagree? Tell us why!

[ Laios, he can't imagine you as one ... You're big and soft and friendly and you get shy in the public bath.

At least guessing wrongly had no consequences. More importantly, why did that stress him out??? ]

You're welcome. I'm just happy we have an easier way of talking to each other now.

Huh? What do you mean by that?

[ this is in the context of kabru being ignored by this man multiple times, and dying multiple times trying to meet him. of course, he isn't going to provide that context. ]

These implants. They're much quicker than writing letters and waiting for them to be sent.

[ this means he can ..... talk to laios ..... all the time ...... rip laios ]

Oh, yeah. I guess that’s pretty convenient! It makes it easier to share my monster facts with people. You want to know too? I can send you a message anytime. Kind of like a.. daily monster fact!

_{[ would you like to subscribe? ]}

[ oh whatever maybe he'll learn something ]

Please! I would love to get daily trivia from you!

_{[ Laios wasn't sure what he was expecting, but it wasn't that. He actually smiles warmly at that. He didn't know Kabru was so curious about monsters like he is. ]}

You really are a monster lover, huh? That's great. We'll have plenty to talk about, then.

_{[ Maybe they can be friends after all. Laios considers it, but it's a fleeting thought. ]}

That means a lot to me, you know.

[ HE HATES MONSTERS.

Kabru will need to have a sit down after this because it's stressing him out. With Laios sounding so earnest, there's no possible way he can tell him the truth. ]

Is it difficult to find others who share your interests?

You know? I've never really noticed that, but yeah, I guess it is kind of hard for me to find people who share my interests. Do you think.. maybe.. my interests are weird? And that's why?

_{[ Kabru making him realize the negative things about himself, oops. ]}

[ How does he respond to this ... Yes, he thinks they are weird, but it's going to hurt Laios' feelings if he says that! Yet, it feels like a blatant lie to say otherwise, because almost anyone else he asks is going to say they find it weird! ]

[ wait, he knows what to say. ]

Your special interest is certainly unique, but the number of hobbies and interests humans have developed would probably go into the millions. It probably isn't that strange to have a unique hobby.

That said, if you find meaning in it, isn't that the most important thing?

[ perfect PR non-answer. ]

_{[ Yeah, he falls for it. ]}

I guess you're right. I never thought of myself as unique. That's really nice of you to say. I'll be the biggest monster lover there is, then, and love how unique it can be!

[ That ... went smoothly? ]

[ Or did it? Because isn't it kind of really bad that Laios is probably going to be the next lord of the dungeon, and Kabru is helping him embrace his obsession with monsters? What if he decides to make a world of only monster after all?

Yes, that's bad. Very bad! This isn't going as planned at all, in fact it's going backward!!! ]

You might already be the biggest monster lover there is, though ...

[ So there's no need to be any more obsessed with them than this, right? ]

_{[ blu-shhhhhh.. ]}

You really mean that, Kabru?

[ He can't read his non-verbal cues over text, but why does Laios sound happy about this? ]

I can't say I've met anyone else more interested in or knowledgeable about monsters...

Well, they’re all I ever think about! All the time! Monsters! How they fight, and mate, and give birth. Where they like to live, their sleeping patterns. Oh, and their abilities.. how strong they can be. But recently, I just keep thinking about different recipes with monsters in them.. and sometimes, I think about it too much.. I forget what I was doing or talking about.

What were we talking about before all of this?

[ All that is about what he had expected... ]

You started the conversation telling me I look like a wasp.
