[vivisexual]

[In a picture perfect seiza, Yugamu waves politely to start the video.]

Hello, everyone! I've spoken to a few of you already, but I wanted to try and make a more professional first impression!

[Putting his hand down primly on his lap, and smiling brightly in a way that could not possibly prepare you for what he's about to say;]

My name is Yugamu Omokage, and while I'm a professional assassin, currently, my goal is to become a doctor! If anyone has any tips on how to best further my education, I'd love to hear it! That said, if any of you are personally offended by Dr Spim's conscientious bedside manner like Mr. Silco, I'm happy to provide an alternative, I have lots of hands on surgical experience!

[This absolutely needless shot at Silco is offered completely blithely like it's funny to him, rather than a genuine mean spirited critique of the man.]

The other thing I'd like to ask after is information about the kaiju. I know there's some on public record, but I'm curious to get more personal accounts, particularly if anyone else has tried taking them apart or tested any toxins on them!

In any case, I look forward to working with all of you! My previous monster killing experience was with people my age so I hope to learn a lot here.

[Hilarious it is!]

For you, curse-san, I'll do it.

But can I ask, since you referred to "human" fornication, are you not human yourself? You're not a cat as well, are you?

[gimu]

[ curse-san… ]

Not cat, no, but not—

[ not human, he’d almost said, but that isn’t true either, is it?

so now you must live this time as a human. ]

-not really a curse .

[ wow, that’s somehow harder to say than most. it tastes weird, fits strangely in his mouth, like an irregular stone laid heavy on his tongue.

unseen, he wrinkles his nose. ]

I am just Choso.

[vivisexual]

[Brother he was just calling you by your username!!! He doesn't know shit about curses!!!]

... Fascinatingly cryptic!

[It seemed hard to say for some reason, so he won't press for further explanation. However he will ask;]

Can you turn your camera on for a moment, Choso-san?

1/2

[gimu]

Hm?

[ a weird ask, but- ]

All right, all right.

[ the interface may be neural, but it still takes him a few seconds to figure it out. when he does, the video feed fizzes a bit. ]

2/2

[gimu]

[ he’d been sorting things in his room’s closet, and thus had given no thought at all to what the low lighting and small space might do to a finicky medium as the ocular cam.

a truly terrible visage stares out at Yugamu, blinking… not at all, actually. ]

Is this better?

[vivisexual]

[Ok he'd considered a wide variety of outcomes, but not this one. Fortunately he's unspookable as a weird goth freak himself.]

Not... really? Why are you sitting in the dark? I was hoping to see your face.

[gimu]

[ huh. he nudges the door open a touch, letting some light trickle in.

the dark resolves into the jumbled contents of a closet; boxes, swords, a long-tailed yankee coat, an overturned roomba. a horror becomes a guy, messy hair and the sleepiest eyes a living entity could possess. ]

I was busy. You know you could find my data file if you looked.

[vivisexual]

It's more fun getting you to show me yourself!

[And a video feed is a better look than any static images like what the data file has.]

But you are cute in a pathetic sort of way.

[gimu]

Well all r--

[ ... eh?

eh??

what

what does he make of that? is this a compliment? a declaration of war?

Choso Stares. ]

Th...ank? You?

[ ? ]

You are pleasant to look at, too?

[vivisexual]

[We are introducing Choso to the backhanded compliment today, I see. Anyway despite how flirty Yugamu is, this actually seems to fluster him???]

I- You really think so?

[gimu]

[ one day he will look back on this convo (maybe) and wonder what the fuck, man, but today is not that day.

instead, he just sort of tips his head to one side in obvious consideration, fingers curling over his chin. ]

I would not say so if I did not think it. You are very striking, and there is a lot to look at.

[vivisexual]

[Oh this guy is some sort of alien who just likes unique visual stimuli, clearly. Now it makes more sense. He's still a little red, though. Even if it's a weird compliment, he's not used to getting them.]

W-Well, you know how to contact me, if... you ever want to... look at me in person!?

[That was a stupid thing to say??? What the heck Yugamu??? He actually disconnects out of embarrassment, sorry Choso.]

@curse; RECONNECTS

[gimu]

[ who even ends a talk box like that ]

ok
i contact you now then
why are you running?

[vivisexual]

[NOOOOO TECHNOLOGY DAMN YOU. Well at least he can't fumble over his words in text??? But what does he say. Does he lie??? What would even be a plausible lie?? No... this guy seems like the extremely straightforward type, he should... probably just be honest.]

I got embarrassed!
(๑/////๑ " )

[gimu]

[ embarrassed? what of? the compliment? the nature in which the compliment was delivered? perhaps just complimenting in general? hmm. perhaps this warranted investigation. ]

oh.
sorry about that.
but why

[vivisexual]

[He's shy lol.]

I wasn't expecting a sincere compliment!
Especially not from someone cute like you!! You don't have to apologize.

[gimu]

if it helps i can rescind it to bring you comfort.



you think i am cute?

[vivisexual]

Only take it back if you didn't mean it.

But of course. You seem extremely earnest and it makes me want to cut you up
[NO NO, PLAY IT COOL, YUGAMU. thank god this is text.]

Play with you like a dog.
[Oh no that's not better.]

1/2

[gimu]

i did, so i won't

uh

[gimu]

ok




sure



?

[vivisexual]

[Huh. Huh???? He just???? Agreed???? Is he into that sort of thing or is he just stupid???? Yugamu's got nothing against himbos he just needs to know because he believes in informed consent.]

I see.






Did you want to go out on a date sometime.

[There was a long pause because he had to keep his cool. He also made sure to use the word date because he suspects Choso might not get the meaning if he just said go out.]

[gimu]

[ does this guy know what he's doing? or what he's asking? does he like that kind of thing??? is this how professional assassins unwind? is it related to the medical ambition?

pay attention, choso: there's more incoming.


huh. ]

sure. do you wish for a casual and social date, a romantically inclined date, or a prelude to activities date?

[vivisexual]

[Sure????????? He agreed???? A cute guy is willing to go on a date with him???????]

I mean

Which one would you be willing to agree to?

[gimu]

[ unaware of yugamu's fluster, choso just continues on, unbothered. ]

all of them. depending on what you want, i know different places to go.

[vivisexual]

[What is happening. Is this a prank? Well, as much as he talks a big game, the idea of jumping right to sex...]

Maybe we can start with romantic, then? Any good relationship needs a strong base.
