saturations | AUDIENCE FOR: aymeric de borel

[glad that they know what pizza is but can't text

a little buzz of yellow static runs through them.]

Oh, it's like - a playground, kinda? With a bunch of games like the one in the new game room, but it spits out tickets and you can win prizes and stuff! But also there's pizza, and it usually sucks to eat. Part of the experience.

[ i am betting Estinien doesn't even text the NPCs

aymeric doesn't even know what a fucking playground is but Bass is helping. ]

... It seems disingenuous to coin it the "Pizza Zone" when the pizza is subpar.

[how did you guess]

... That's true, huh? I don't think the pizza is supposed to suck, if that helps.

[ because he's illiterate (no he isn't) ]

I see. [ that's bad, but okay. ] Were you all forced to play these games? Or forced to gorge yourselves with subpar pizza?

[ like that's awful. ]

[banished to the chuck e cheese prison]

Nah, haha. We didn't really have time to do that, I think we were all so startled that we had to just focus hard on getting back.

[ idk if deserved until i know who this npc is ]

But there must have been obstacles, I imagine. If there wasn't, you wouldn't have returned to us in such a state.

[:3c]

Just the fact that we couldn't really open archways like we're used to. We were blocked a bit. Or - lost, I... I guess.

Your memory hasn't been tampered with as well, has it?

[ To make sure. ]

Pretty sure it hasn't. I wouldn't know if it had been, though.

[ help ]

... That shouldn't make me laugh, but I wish to.

[there is the vibe of a grin going on here.]

It is kinda funny.

Lord Bass, dark comedy is a low-hanging and self-deprecating fruit.

[ stop ]

[they laugh!]

It's easy to pick, then! [nyehhh.] It's okay, it doesn't bother me that much.

[ No, stop. He laughs because they laugh. ]

If aught truly bothers you, do not hesitate. [ Just to ask about their task: ] Have you yet seen any offensive dress?

I haven't seen anybody dressed like Damien, if that's what you mean.

[bass, be NICE.] I've seen some good stuff. A lot of you know how to put an outfit together.

[ HelP. He tries to find something to say... ]

Damien tries his best. [ no he doesn't ] I daresay many of them would put weavers to shame. What of your closet?

[they wrinkle their nose, because they're not sure damien tries. but anyway.]

Oh, d'you wanna see? [they seem... so eager to show off their own clothes, they haven't gotten to yet!!]

Would you show me?

[ The answer is yes?? ]

Dude, yeah! [if they had a tail they would wag it.

they jump over to their closet, and start digging through it... and a few seconds later they come out dressed in this. they're still staticky and androgynous under the clothing, but hey. it's a look.]

[ It is still a look. Aymeric tilts his head, then nods. ]

Very charming and refreshing, Lord Bass. There's something freeing about the style.

[put aymeric on queer eye, this is a stunning review.]

Thanks! I like the baggy sort of stuff, actually. But dresses and skirts are just as comfy and trendy, so.

[ is he queer enough for queer eye ]

I wonder what you would say about Ishgardian robes. For some, their sleeves billow like clouds, though the material is heavy to combat the cold.

[ Doesn't mention that some are Church-y. ]

[he absolutely is]

Oh, man. I'd love to see 'em, I like fashion from all over. What's Ishgard like? Cold, I guess.

Aye, cold all year-round. There’s always snow no matter which direction you cast your gaze. Fortunately, a fireplace for every household is common… Then our drinks can give one the sensation of warmth, strong as they are.

What of where you hail from?

[ Aymeric looks around the room… Is there… A window. ]

Must be a place with seasons if you’ve seen many styles of dress.

[there's a window, but everything outside is... blurry? really blurry. it seems like maybe it's sunny, at least.]

Well, I come from here, so I guess yeah, you could say it's a place with a lot of seasons. There are a couple of places where it's different every time you walk into it.
