Yeah….


[ sadge. ]

… Maybe if we pretend really hard that it’s not hot that’ll work out for us.

[bookpapers]

[he pulls a sadder face at that]

I suck at pretending.

Maybe you can try and make something again.

[he doesn't even know what date was making in the first place?]

[psynchronise]

And make a bigger explosion next time? I was just knocking things over, no science behind it.

[ imagine if he accidentally alchemised an a/c unit. ]

[bookpapers]

[i believe in date's power]

Oh, so it really was an accident...

[psynchronise]

[ his eyes start glowing and he ascends, escaping the game.

no. ]

Yeah, I didn't do it on purpose. But hey, now we know this stuff can explode.

[bookpapers]

[anchors him to the living]

I guess... [is that useful....] You remember which of the beakers you were messing with?

[psynchronise]

[ free him and me. ]

Nope. They all look pretty alike.

Maybe one like this? [ he points to a pretty generic one. ]

[bookpapers]

[lavi looks at this generic beaker. he will memorize it. i will not.]

I bet a science type could figure out which's which... Maybe Bixing's already done it?

[psynchronise]

… Oh Bixing the Science King?

[ i don’t even care if date wouldn’t know bill nye the science guy, i had to make the joke. ]

[bookpapers]

[HELP lavi's eye crinkles a little at the name, time to call bixing bill nye i mean science king]

Hey, that's a good one. But yeah, he's my roommate. I've been reading one of his books, and it's super smart.

[psynchronise]

You think he’s going to start science experiments in your room?

[bookpapers]

Maybe. Or maybe he'll start them in someone else's room.

[psynchronise]

[ GAY PEOPLE? ]

Huh?

Why, is he sleeping somewhere else?

[bookpapers]

[not me realizing this is monday so lavi wouldn't know yet it's fine]

Nah, I just figured that he might want to spend time with a friend rather than a stranger.

[psynchronise]

[ GAY PEOPLE

("becks you already knew they were from a danmei") gay people. now all of china ("you and yaywon") know who's porking. ]

Aw, you not buddies yet?

[bookpapers]

[SISI MADE ME THINK FOR .5 SECONDS THAT THEY WEREN'T GAY]

We get along pretty well.

But Lin Jingheng's from his world. Wouldn't you rather hang out with a buddy?

[psynchronise]

[ YAYWON THEY'RE FROM A GAY CHINESE DANMEI SPACE OPERA. i don't know anything about it other than it's gay and in space. good for them. ]

Maybe? It's not like I have anyone here from my world to really test the theory on.

... I'd rather not have anyone I knew here anyway.

[bookpapers]

[STOP I KNOW BUT I BELIEVE THE THINGS PEOPLE TELL ME]

...True. I can think of a dozen people who wouldn't deserve it.

[psynchronise]

[ KISSES YOUR FOREHEAD sweet yaywon ]

Yeah. I'm not really sure I like the idea of some unknown judging criteria deciding whether you get thrown into a good place or a bad place.

[bookpapers]

I've got this weird feeling that the criteria covers everything, and it's not even a criteria at all. Just life.

[psynchronise]

That just sounds like cheating.

[bookpapers]

I mean if anyone would cheat, it's probably gonna be Satan.

[psynchronise]

[ fuck. he can't argue that. ]

Cheating is prolific in life and in death. Incredible.
