( this is what you wanted to be greeted with when opening the network, right? a woman sat on an unmade bed with her legs crossed ankle over knee, ashtray full on a bedside table, looking about as enthused as a rock as she's so very clearly scrolls through some searches. )

So, video games.

( great opening line. didn't even introduce herself. )

I get what they are from looking it up, but what's the point in some of these? PowerWash Simulator? Farming Simulator 56? American Truck Simulator? You could just go outside and do some of this.

( is she smoking inside her bedroom? also yes. sorry if that gets into the vents, redemption team. )

... I also need suggestions for games. And no, I don't have experience in it which means I don't have enough to make a preference with.

( she'll keep it in mind. it might take her awhile to even get used to the controls and intuit just how it is these things expect her to do literally anything. )

There are guides for this stuff?

( who's out there doing all this...... going so hard for something that's meant to be fun?? )

[elfsufficient]

[ yeah..... 😔 ]

Obviously, you don't need to be smoking inside anyone's quarters.

[eirs]

( she's gonna be doing a lot of that around base if she's not careful,

and well. at least tao isn't entirely unreasonable. she'll stop if asked, but she's going to have to ask for a dedicated space for it somewhere that isn't 500ft past the building. )

i was being facetious.

( but with that out of the way: )

i'm still taking suggestions. might as well, while i've got you.

[gorb]

( No, he's just judging your choices. )

And street racing is your #1 choice.

Why not something simpler? Delivery driver.

[eirs]

seemed like my best bet.

( delivery driver.. hm. it's not a bad thought. )

think i saw robots doing that job though. drones or something?

( see, lots of robots mean less of a need for her. but more thrillseekers mean more potential for money? )

[elfsufficient]

I've read that there is a greenhouse area. I'm happy to accompany you to find it if you promise to smoke there from now on.

[gorb]

You'd think we wouldn't need other jobs when we're already doing so much here.

( They stuck his arm back on but apparently that is not enough. )

If you die from a terrible car crash with your amateur racing skills can I have whatever cigarettes you have left?

( #charming )

[eirs]

you haven't been?

( a greenhouse though.. she hasn't seen it yet, but it could be fun to at least poke her head into to check out. )

it couldn't hurt. i haven't bothered with the rest of the facility. i know where the cafeteria is, and that's about it.

when?

[eirs]

( hah, cheeky fucker. )

if they don't burn with my corpse in a smoldering pile on the side of the road.

( because of course she keeps them on her, silly. )

what did you decide on taking up anyway? if anything.

[gorb]

Ah, nothing yet.

I doubt they'd have much use for my lifelong calling.

( (: )

[eirs]

( one never knows if there's a potential flock out there for him. )

which is..?

[gorb]

I was the head of a religious movement back home.

( ... Or cult.

Whatever. )

@sanda

[thundercrashes]

To be fair, does it look like this place will allow anyone to be able to go outside and do any of that stuff like farming or whatever simulator game is offered here so easily?

[What with the rampant threat of kaiju and everything else about where we're at...]

[eirs]

wasn't aware i was talking to a holy man.

( should the pope be smoking? hmm.. )

should i be watching my mouth?

[gorb]

( Probably, but not for the reasons she thinks. )

Ah, it's nothing as severe as that. I merely want to make the world a better, safer place.

( it's a good point, she supposes. but that circles her back to an earlier thought: )

for fun, though?
i can't say i get how anyone would think so. mostly just moving dirt or... removing dirt, in some of them.

@girlboss

[plagiarists]

[ So many people complaining about smoking... get real, people. ]

first of all, smoke more
secondly, play visual novels

[ Of course she suggests them. ]

[eirs]

( she's learning a lot today. minding her mouth is a tall order, though. )

i guess that's sort of what the aim of this place is, minus the evangelizing and prayer and whatever else it is religious sects do.

[gorb]

Usually?

Fundraising.

We did do the incense and reflection thing though.

[eirs]

( a friend in these trying times..

one second she's looking up visual novels. why are they different from regular novels. )

so, kind of like an rpg but not really.
also there seems to be a lot of romance related ones?

[eirs]

( fundraising. that sounds about right. )

you could always join a maid cafe.

( fundraising → good at talking people into giving things → customer service is fine? → maid cafe??

she's only kind of joking. )

[likemybooks]

Yeah! There's bits of the world that you wouldn't think of explore, or the battle system is so complex that you need a chart. It's so much fun.

[Nerds. It's all nerds that are into this.]

[elfsufficient]

I haven't...

[ She was trying to get Stark to go there with her (by not telling him she wanted to go there) but then they ended up at the cafeteria instead. ]

If you want to continue smoking, then I suggest we go now. Otherwise, we can go the next time you feel like doing just that.

[plagiarists]

[ Visual novels are visual because they're visual and people die if they're killed... ]

u can always just go for the ones that only have text
no rpg elements
romance AND nsfw ones

@crow

[laevateinns]

I suppose it's more convenient to do it in video games than having to get the materials to do it in real life.

Or something.

[ yeah he's not fully convinced either, ]
