Audio then Video | UN: oceangem

[SO, she got that whole sex education thing done and dusted. Now she's trying to figure out the device a bit more so at first it's audio.]

Okay so it's like this, and oh!

[Visuals now! Showing anyone who is watching this a woman who is. Well. Blue, literally she's the colour blue. She mutters under her breath something that sounds like "Oh like the video call" before turning her full attention to the device.

Now to ask an important question, especially after what things she has seen so far.]

... Is sex really that important here?

nope just a nice bonus

Not at ALL. It simply comes down to your comfort level and how much you wish to generate ChroMA. Naturally if you're looking to put yourself in a more advantageous position it would be more beneficial to do more than simple hand-holdING, but if you're frugal it makes little differENCE.

... Although the locals do seem rather biased towards sexual intimaCY.

I hope no one is making you think you need it to get by.

It's not at all necessary, it's just...more intimate acts generate more Chroma, so some people take it as an excuse to be more...um. Adventurous than would be socially acceptable back home.

[ ...she's assuming you're a water genasi or something like that, so. ]

Only if you wish it to be, I believe. If engaging in the act isn't to your liking, then simple things such as hand-holding and the like should suffice for generating Chroma.

[He knew that voice sounded familiar! It's that blue lady from that whole plane incident. Gumshoe sheepishly replies.]

It- it doesn't have to be, pal! Almost any kinda physical contact can generate Chroma. S-sex just... it just happens to generate a whole lot of it. But there's still plenty of other valid ways to make physical contact with people! No one should put down hugs and hand-holding!

I don't think it is. From what I've learned, I think you can do pretty well without it.

I wonder about that.

[Yeah, he saw that too. Yeah, he also wishes he hadn't.]

I wouldn't have thought much about it, but apparently some people here have other ideas.

[Well, he's already met a living plant man. A blue woman isn't that much of a stretch of the imagination anymore.

As for the question:]

I find it isn't. Yes, you'll get more Chroma for it, but it's nothing that can't be gained with simple physical contact.

[The responder in the video is clearly... a mech. Even if this wasn't a video, the mechanical-like quality voice would point this person leaning toward robot than human.]

Not at all necessary- any form of physical contact can generate Chroma. You can survive well just from hand holding or hugs.

[A pause, then he adds sheepishly:]

... Though... intimate acts can generate a lot of Chroma quickly...

It seems to be.
However touch of any kind produces Chroma.
There is no need to mate if it is not desired.

I have done it since I arrived.

You should be alright.

( Okay, hello, blue girl. She supposes she's seen stranger things around these parts... )

Sex is important everywhere, sweet thing.

[ She hums thoughtfully and shrugs ]

I think it depends on how much Chroma you need.

Only as important as you want it to be. I've gotten a lot of Chroma from hugging and holding hands.

is that your real skin colour?

[ sorry he's just rly curious. ]

No. Physical contact is important, but it doesn't have to be through sex. Sex just gives the highest amount of chroma.

it's not about importance, people just want sex
give humans any excuse for it and they'll take it
and then they'll act like they were forced into it so they can pretend they're still all morally upright wwwww

well we are kinda being whored out here though

easy

nope

[Considering her body language, Ren, tries to look as gentle as possible when he replies.]

Not at all. I've been here since we've started to appear in this world and I know a few people who haven't....they try to push for you to do so, but you can create chroma just by holding someone's hand.

Yes? Yes. Is--is this a serious question?

[...Huh. Blue's a new one, but all right then.]

Only as important as you want it to be. I've been managing all right so far.

And really, it's a bit of all right, but if you decide not to try it you're not missing that much.

I've managed to get by okay without it, so I don't think it's really as big a deal as some people make it out to be.

what's the verdict then? what are people saying?
