Important question

Does punching count?
(Also kicks and other shit like that)

I dunno' I've been a lot more fights than I've gotten to hold hands with folks. Just seems like it might've been the easier option.

[jadedlynx]

I'm guessing when you got in those fights, your fist was only touching for a second every time you threw it. If it was touching longer, it probably wasn't a very good punch.

[machizumo]

Yeah but I was hoping there was some kinda impact loophole or something.

[jadedlynx]

The harder you hit, the more chroma comes out? You're hoping we're human pinatas?

[ Not that the idea isn't a little amusing. ]

[machizumo]

It makes as much sense as anything else around here.

[jadedlynx]

Since a lot of stuff around here makes no sense, it'd be pretty hard for that to make less.

[ So, Ash can't disagree. He's glad it doesn't work through. It'd become dangerous for the weak. ]

If you're scared of the hand touching, you can get demichroma instead.

[machizumo]

I'm not SCARED. I just don't really know nobody like that.

I already got a job too so demichroma's definitely a thing! It's just still kinda tricky to balance everything with just that.

[jadedlynx]

Got it, got it.

It's not meant to be enough. Maybe to keep you from starving, but they want you to produce the real stuff. You won't die from not making it, but you're going to stay pretty broke.

Freakin cuddle extortionists. This place is full of weirdos.

I mean I guess it's helping their environment somehow?? But they could've asked for one thing. And they could make shit less difficult for people who ain't game for it.

[jadedlynx]

Cuddler for hire. Sounds like the perverted old guy trying to act lonely so he can slip in a feel, but I've gotten pretty far in three months with just holding hands when I need it so that's far enough unless you're looking to get loaded.

Extortion was right, even if it's helping the place. There are enough hero types and people ready to jump on hugs that they could've found volunteers. Out of all of the people from our planets, they didn't have to grab two who wasn't down for it.

[machizumo]

Right?! I'd be fine helping too. Just maybe some other way would be better.

Oh well. Either this works out or it doesn't. It ain't the end of the world either way. Just awkward crap.

[jadedlynx]

Figured out your moon yet?

[ Wow, that sounds far too close to 'what's your sign'. ]

Because that's going to redefine awkward.

[machizumo]

I have and it did.

[jadedlynx]

What'd you land, anyway? Sanguis?

[machizumo]

Iris.
