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? )

Probably. Still better than the place I was before, though.

[Not that she's really looking forward to getting into all of that right now. And she'll let him have his cute little beliefs for the time being.]

Don't worry. I'll let you come in.

[lanceylance]

remind me to tell you about where i was sometime. it was... a trip.

[ A big, crazy, emotion-fueled trip. And Zarkon was there. So was Honerva. And Coran. So it was insanity at its finest. ]

holding you to it.

[pidgeypidge]

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

[Except she's willing to bet that his wasn't nearly as bad as hers.]

Good. You do that.

[lanceylance]

be glad i'm pretty sure you're talking about places we've been because otherwise... i am like 100% sure i have absolutely nothing you'd wanna see.

[ At least, he's hoping he's right. ]

i will.

[pidgeypidge]

I wasn't, actually. But if you really want to hear about where I was before I got here, I can tell you later.

[Much later, hopefully. It's not something she's particularly eager to bring up again, but it's been a while and talking about it might be good. Maybe.]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[lanceylance]

...huh?

[pidgeypidge]

[Oh, Lance, you beautiful dweeb.]

I figured it was pretty clear.

[lanceylance]

pidge, i don't have anything at all that you'd wanna see.

[ Oh wait. Maybe there is one thing he can think of. ]

...except maybe katiebird.

[pidgeypidge]

It's a little late for that now, don't you think. And don't try to change the subject.

[Only... now she's curious. Shit.]

I'm sorry. What now?

[lanceylance]

i said the only thing i have that might be of any interest to you is katiebird. it doesn't seem to work anymore, though. it used to... but i guess that was a 'there' thing.

[pidgeypidge]

The way you expect me to know what you're talking about is cute.

[Wow. How dare he effectively change the subject.]

I could probably take a look at it though. See why it's not working.

[lanceylance]

[ He knows how her mind works. ]

it's... katiebird. i don't know how to explain it. like, it's a little bird that used to fly and chirp and deliver messages and act like a speaker, but now it doesn't work.

[pidgeypidge]

[It's incredibly unfair, and also very effective. How rude.]

Like the birdbox?

[Because he's absolutely going to know what that is.]

That might be one of the cutest things I've read all year. Are you bringing it?

[lanceylance]

i don't know what that is.

[ Sorry, Pidge. ]

i can... just promise me nothing will happen to it? it's kinda got a lotta sentimental value and i don't want it to get destroyed.

[pidgeypidge]

It's a little mechanical bird in a cage. You sing to it and it'll somehow gain access to music from your home. Like. All of it. Then you can ask to hear a certain song. The cage is a charger and a sound system. Also it's completely customizable- and the birds all have different personalities. I'm still not entirely sure how it works.

[It's possibly one of her favorite things.]

And look. I can't promise that nothing will ever happen to it, because this place is bonkers. But you have my word that I'll be careful.

[lanceylance]

[ So he could inflict music from home on other people, is what she's saying. Like a weird sort of salsa rave? Interesting~ ]

music from home, huh?

[ Not even Katiebird could do that, but Katiebird was intended for use to deliver messages and alert others if he needed help. The speaker function was just an added bonus. ]

pidge, if something happens to katiebird, i will not be held responsible for my actions. it was made by a friend, which is where its name came from, and it was a gift during a bad time so it's super important to me.

[pidgeypidge]

That's what I said.

[It's worked fairly well the couple of times she's tried it, at least.]

Calm down, Lance. Nothing's going to happen. [But it's really the second part of that statement that gets her attention, and there's no way she can't ask.]

Understandable. But how many Katies do you know?

[lanceylance]

including you?

[ Hang on. Let him think.

Or just draw out a long silence for a bit. ]























one

[pidgeypidge]

That's what I thought.

Maybe you should hurry up and get here so you can tell me about it.

[Among other things.]

[lanceylance]

hey! i had to turn around to go back to get it.

[pidgeypidge]

Where are you coming from? I could probably meet you.

[Because that's definitely a good idea.]

[lanceylance]

you know, why don't you just come to me instead? it might be easier since i don't really know this place very well and all, and i wouldn't have to cart katiebird around and risk it getting broken.

[ Better idea? Probably not at all. ]

[pidgeypidge]

I can do that. Just tell me where I'm going.

[Some might say this is the best idea. Pidge is probably not one of them.]

[lanceylance]

[ Give him a minute to pause and figure out how this thing works, and he'll send the location over. ]

um... if that works, then go there. if not, then tell me and i'll figure something out.

[pidgeypidge]

[Fortunately, she's been here long enough to have worked out where most things are and how to get there.]

Worked just fine. See you in a bit.
