fifth ☕✨ tinder / moonlacing mingle!

[cadeuces]

( Ping! Your profile needs updating, there's hot singles in your area, it's a swipe frenzy— you all know the push updates with dating apps, right? Maybe you need to brush up your Chroma to buy a place in Amegahara and it just sounds like it's worth a shot, or someone gets ahold of your device and "helps" you along. Upload some new selfies with that new Moonblessing of yours, drop in an About Me, and get to swiping!

And Please— someone please come up with a better name than Prismates because the moons alone make sure we're more than just mammals and no one's obligated to do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. We all know the drill by now, don't we? Swipe right or left, yes or no, mark yourself down to moonlace and flirt or just rile a friend up with a big red X— try to include an opening message! Happy Hump Day? )

You've got speed on your side, if nothing else.

So did anything jump out to you or were you just eager to use that line?

[firstdayblues]

Little of a, little of b. Honestly, I can't take this kind of app too seriously.

[herbmixing]

Really? It's not just for...setting up dates?

[ From a more innocent pre-Tinder world, and the kind of nerd who takes everything seriously...whoops. ]

What's the A, then? You still have me at a disadvantage, you know.

[firstdayblues]

Sure, that's the main reason. Doesn't stop some of us from just flirting or making friends. Or hitting up the friends we've already got, of course.

I'd be lying if I said the sports outfits weren't cute, though.

[herbmixing]

Huh. Maybe I am taking it too seriously...thanks, though, Leon. I can't believe I even still had them in my closet!

[firstdayblues]

I want gonna ask, but that makes sense. Might as well hold on to them, some people are into that- what do they call it, costume play?

Might come in handy.

[herbmixing]

That's...an option, yeah.

[ She hadn't even thought of applying them in bed. They're just cute pictures! Not that it's an awful concept... ]

[firstdayblues]

You know I'm kidding, right?

Sorry, did I take it a little too far?

[herbmixing]

Oh, no, it's okay! I just--

[ Didn't get it. Rebecca, stop taking things so seriously. ]

I think I will hold onto them. In case it comes up. That might be the only skirt in my closet right now, actually...

[firstdayblues]

Honestly, I'm a little surprised you had them in the first place. You always seemed more slacks and labcoat, less track and field.

If nothing else, I guess this whole experience gives us all a chance to learn a little bit more about each other.

[herbmixing]

I do still like to keep fit. I was on the basketball team back home and I tried to play whenever I had a day off.

[ All five-foot-three of her. ]

The lab's always interesting, but you have to have a balance! That's why I try to go jogging and work out a bit every day. [ Still, he's right, and she makes an agreeing noise. ] What do you do in your spare time?

[firstdayblues]

Makes sense. They wouldn't have let you on the force if you couldn't keep up, smart or not. It's strange, if you think about it. You know if things hadn't gone as badly as they did, we would have been rookies at the station together?

[Not that there's a lot of point, dwelling on that. Can't change it, no matter how bad you might want to.]

That's the question though isn't it? Spare time, I mean. Back home I never had any to speak of. Here, I've got too much and nothing to do with it. Story of my life, I guess.

[herbmixing]

...you're right. I hadn't thought of that. Wouldn't we only be two or three years apart in age?

[ Cute...little rookie Leon. STARS didn't look down upon the rank and file, she knew that even in her short tenure, but the thought is still amusing that she would have sort of been his superior.

A thought which leads to other ones...those, she quickly silences. ]

Me either. Between college and police training and regular life, I didn't have a second for myself. Now I've got too much too. The cafe near my apartment doesn't even have to ask for my order anymore.

[firstdayblues]

Give or yeah, yeah. Makes your head spin, doesn't it?

Makes you wonder if we need to take up some kind of hobby. Can't exactly say knitting suits me, though.
