[ a little after the trial ends, stephanie will go to track belph down again. if she doesn't run into him she figures she can try again the next day, at least.

when she does spot him, she waves. ]

That sure was a thing.

I'm sure you've tripped into walls before!

[axilium]

Actually, that sounds like a problem unique to you.

[vigilantics]

It hasn't even been five minutes and I already want to cancel the pinky promise.

[axilium]

No takebacks! Regrets are just a part of business that you have to live with, alas.

[vigilantics]

Why do I feel like I just got swindled by a scam artist...

[axilium]

You made the offer, not me.

[vigilantics]

Fine!

I will be so gentle with you that you will never swindle me again.

[axilium]

That almost sounds dirty.

[vigilantics]

Back to being flirtatious then?

[axilium]

Won't your partner get jealous?

[vigilantics]

I don't think he likes me like that?

[ she



thsafjsl holy shit the tts in the discord just went off and completely derailed my train of thought. anyway.

she doesn't think so?? ]

[axilium]

He seems a little protective of you, if nothing else.

[vigilantics]

You pay a lot of attention to my partner.

[axilium]

He's fun.

[to rile up.

also he wants to make sure he'll look after steph but he's not going to say that out loud.]

[vigilantics]

[ wow, ]

He is. I'll organize a play date for you guys.

[axilium]

Careful, we don't want to scare him away.

[vigilantics]

[ she rolls her eyes. ]

What is he, a cat?

[axilium]

He's your partner. You tell me.

[vigilantics]

Hm... yes?

So are you, actually.

[axilium]

I suppose now is a good time to admit that I've never actually seen a cat in person.

[vigilantics]

Oh my god. They're not like... extinct or anything, where you're from, are they?

[ she sounds alarmed???? ]

[axilium]

I regret adding to your horror, but animals as a whole aren't too common anymore.

[vigilantics]

... am I allowed to ask?

[ asking if she is allowed to ask is still, basically, asking. ]

[axilium]

Sure, it hasn't been a secret around here. Basically, humanity screwed up, contaminated the entire surface of the earth with radiation, and had to flee underground.

[vigilantics]

[ UH ]

How long has it been like that?
