♥ July (Lasdia) Event Log

July (Lasdia) Event Log

Offworlders, did you know? It's been a year since you and your peers began to arrive here! Some of you have been around this entire time, others have only just arrived, and many more fall in between. Whatever length of time you've spent here, the locals are very grateful for your time and effort. Even if it's been given without your consent, they want to make sure you know that your contributions are appreciated and, of course, have come to bear much fruit. Sometimes literally!



PROMPT I: National Telegraphic

As Lasdia is in full-swing and whispers of anniversary are in the air, the entertainment district is beginning to capitalize on the general mood in town. Camera crews and journalists are seen more frequently, particularly in the residential areas where the majority of offworlders have settled, and have taken to following a few people on more than one occasion. Some are more subtle than others. And some are very obvious, maybe even going so far as to narrate what they observe. Even if what they see characters doing is mundane and not especially exciting, they'll do their best to hype it up. "Watch as the human stalks his prey, teeth bared and hungry, trying to decide which angle to strike... and he's got it! The human has chosen the strawberry danish as his meal. ...Oh no, we've been spotted! His teeth are bared towards us... loyal viewers, this could be the end for us...!"

It's... mostly harmless, and when caught in the act most of them will dramatically flee the area and attempt to film in a more subtle manner. Their attention can be short-lived if they spot another offworlder wandering by doing something more interesting and switch targets. Some will try and create drama or conflict, either between residents and offworlders (such as knocking over a store display and vanishing, leaving someone with an irritated shopkeep) or between the offworlders themselves, and generally they won't break any laws to get a scoop... but you may want to keep your curtains closed. A clever offworlder or two could probably get some annoying crew arrested for causing too much trouble, as many locals are likely to grow exasperated with it as well.

Shops to an extent are on board with capitalizing on the offworlders' popularity, however, which becomes apparent as characters might find something odd while shopping around: merchandise, representative of either yourselves or your neighbours. Perhaps some collectable figures of the great warriors of Havenwell can be spotted at the check-out counter. Or keychains showing a recognizable symbol someone wears are for sale at repair shops. Clothing of the offworlders become a popular style that transition well into the shawls and scarves that the robots wear. Trading cards with information blurbs (which may be accurate or entirely fictional), buttons... you name it, there could be at least one of it out there of you! Do you object, find a seller to yell at? Do you buy out the stock and hope they disappear? Or do you collect your friends for a laugh?

Just... maybe do yourself a favour and don't check the network for offworlder fanfiction. Even if the names have been changed, some of it is far too obvious and probably not meant for public consumption.


PROMPT II: Calling Doctor Jones

Over the past year, and the past several months in particular, the locals have heard a number of requests for a more organized health care system within town, as the population of flesh-and-blood residents remains steady. While each temple has had recovery rooms built to provide aid to those who get sick or injured, it isn't their focus, so despite their best efforts they have come to recognize the need to do better.

Therefore to fill the void, this month's changes include the soft opening of the Havenwellness Clinic! Run by a local researcher of biology and a former veterinarian, Dr. Rojir, it exists not to replace the temple recovery rooms, but to give residents a more clinical and less religious location to recover from whatever ails them, as well as centralize supplies, medicine, and direct research on non-robotic species without being too invasive.

Doctor Rojir is a quiet and polite automoton with padded metal fingers designed to sense subtle differences in texture, temperature, and damage across surfaces, particularly skin. It can't feel, exactly, but complex mechanics within have been specially programmed to aid in detecting what sort of ailments might be affecting the patients. He's done a fair bit of research into the medical techniques of the past, as well as what is known thus far about the species inhabiting the world - humans especially, as there are a number of you! - but much of the information available is incomplete, since they don't have years of study to fall back on, or even a proper subject to examine, living or otherwise.

This is where you come in! There will be a sign-up thread down below for appointments, and Dr. Rojir will have a toplevel on the event post. What he's also going to do to assist in his research is pair characters up with someone unlike themselves in some way. That person is going to be your temporary research partner! You will be asked to sit down with the other person and teach one another about your status, your general health, anything that might be considered unique about who or what you are. This prompt is all about world-sharing and swapping questions with another person, and may be a great way to make some new CR, good or bad! You can request a specific partner, or have it randomized by a mod. We will try our best to link up characters who aren't in the same exact situation, physically.

If Dr. Rojir's solo appointment requests are too popular, we may schedule dates for when said appointments will occur, to avoid mod overload. You will be given a date if your appointment is going to occur later on during the event, or afterwards. We ask that you respond to the Sign-Up thread before tagging the NPC toplevel, so we can gauge interest and schedule accordingly.

Additionally, characters who are a) already volunteering at the existing temple clinics or b) medically trained in some way are welcome to volunteer to work at the clinic with Rojir. There will be a salary awarded to those willing and qualified, so it can count as a job in-town to help with whatever your monthly dora reward won't pay for. Please let us know if you're interested and qualified, and you can be added to the staff once we have the clinic added to the game information pages.


PROMPT III: So Very Glamour-ous

It's been a year since Havenwell officially began pulling people in from another world. Crazy, is it not? The locals can hardly believe the changes and how well things are progressing. It may not seem like much, but to them, who have seen no positive changes for centuries, it's something worth celebrating for certain. Therefore, close to month's end, they're throwing a party for everyone!

Much like the food festival half a year ago, the party will occur in one of the towers in town, on a floor large and open enough for such gatherings. It's been decorated to the nines, each corner devoted to one of the gods and their respective colour combinations (iridescent silver, pink and purple, red and white, blue and gold), with the central zone focused on Havenwell itself, a spread of tables with food galore, and an elaborate showcase of events and instances where the newcomers have helped the city, all displayed through edible arrangements: sad fork robots saved by the arrival of sliced-meat and fruits in the shape of people; tiny grape spiders breaking through a wall of cheese and crackers, fought off by celery-soldiers; a handful of cookie-people cuddling and sitting cozy or kissing. It's all very fancy and delicious enough that they've clearly put the work in to show their appreciation. They will of course urge everyone to eat and enjoy, no matter how fancy it looks. It would be terrible if it all rotted and went to waste. Once a sufficiency of food has been consumed, the tables easily move aside to make room for a dance floor, if people feel so inclined. There is a band of local talent playing a curious blend of synth and orchestral music, their style shifting suitably between fast and slow dances, so there should be a little something for everyone in attendance.

What is the dresscode for such an event, you might ask? Well, on paper the locals have stated that anything is fine, since it's your party, but the gods (not without their own sense of humour) have other ideas. Plenty of their accomplishments this year was fueled by you, but they also brought you here... thus, a few days before the party, you might find a package on your doorstep, seemingly delivered by one of the animal familiars of your god of choice. Inside the package you'll find one curious thing: the equivalent of a glamour prism, a curious bauble that could easily fit into your pocket and that alters whatever you're wearing into a single outfit that the glamour is programmed to display on you.

What outfit it is... well, that's your choice! There is no universal style. The only stipulation is that it is not a style of this world, and it is not dangerous/magical beyond the glamour's effect. The outfit feels real, and can wiggle/move/flow in the breeze as it normally would, provided the glamour is active- so rock that cat-eared beanie, roll with that floor-length cape. It can be an outfit from the character's home closet, a style of your world or another's, a fancy suit, or something silly like a dragon kigurumi. If you're not sure if what you can acquire is allowed or would require modification, please ask in the question thread below.

If your character ends up with an outfit they wouldn't wear to the dance, never fear- you can still wear whatever you like! But those gods and their critters can either be easily offended or love a good gag, so the glamour might find itself on your person in some way during the party, inexplicably active. You can deactivate it, throw it away, whatever- somehow, it just keeps finding its way back to you. Might be best to just roll with what you're given.


EXTRA: Characters who first arrived in this world last year might remember the Ribbon Games that were occurring in the month of their arrival, and this tradition has been brought back once again- both the temple portion, and the challenge at the party. Feel free to play with this in your prompts if you wish, though it is entirely optional!



This event will run from July 15th to 30th. Click on each prompt's title to see the text. If you have any questions, feel free to direct them to the FAQ or to the Mod Question thread.

Those worries were exactly why Kai had apologized in the first place. Kai was used to it, but he didn't want people thinking weird things about Shinji because of him. Whether or not anyone would actually bat an eye at such a thing wasn't something they had the facts for Right Here Right Now, so who the hell knew. All Kai knew was that historically, his mere presence was pretty shit for reputations.

It was that tidbit that probably kept him tense without him realizing. Shinji easing back against him helped melt some of that away. Kai relaxed with him, sinking a little heavier with his head tilt a bit towards him.

"I'm glad." He was. Really, truly. Kai took a breath and sighed. "'M just... I like this, but I don't wanna mess things up for you. So I get the worry." He grinned again though, a little softer, reaching over for a quick pat of Shinji's knee. "If you're into anybody we can always make it right. I bet everybody's getting weird stories."

It felt a little weird to give that reassurance. Like it bothered him a little? Even though he meant it? It only made sense that maybe Shinji would have preferred pretend scenarios with someone else, so it being weird was. Well. Weird. Ah, well, he was sticking by it.
hedgehogsdilemma: (No better and no worse)

[personal profile] hedgehogsdilemma 2020-08-02 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
It sure doesn't help that mere existence of the stories drives home that, hey! The way the people here are going to perceive him is no doubt going to be wildly different from how he perceives himself! And while worrying about that is profoundly exhausting, it's hard to ignore the thought that, at any moment, someone could be making a judgement call without really knowing anything about him. Like he could be some kind of impressive hero, brought here to help save the planet, or like he deserved to have that kind of affection paid to him.

Before he can sink too deeply into those familiar, self-deprecating worries, that offer whizzes by him like a bullet barely dodged.

Oh. No.

"That's..." His whole body tenses up again, but he makes the deliberate effort to stay stubbornly right where he was while fumbling for words. He doesn't really want to lie and say there's nobody, nor confirm anything vaguely or make up some hypothetical person to tell Kai not worry about, because surely he'd worry about it regardless. "That's really kind of you," because! Yeah! It is! Even if he has no use for this offer, like, at all! "I don't want you to feel like it's your responsibility to... you know, do something about this, though. It isn't your fault."
whenyouneedme: (104)

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-08-02 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
You know he could feel that, right? That very telling, tense sign that something was going unsaid. Ah. Well. It was a good thing. Kai wasn't going to linger too long on those possibilities, or he'd be almost as bad as the natives.

"I know," Kai assured him, even if he was at least partially responsible. Not intentionally, of course, but his existence was playing a key role here. "I'm just saying if it comes down to it, it'll probably be easy to clear it up. You don't need to worry about wrong ideas too much."

Probably. ...Probably.
hedgehogsdilemma: (You're everything I think I need)

[personal profile] hedgehogsdilemma 2020-08-02 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You're killing him, Kai.

"Honestly, that really isn't the kind of misunderstanding I'm worried about," he murmurs softly, trying to force himself into relaxing again. This is fine, this is something they can definitely just go back to normal after, right? Neither of them want to lose what they have, after all, and more than anything, being able to just be friends with Kai is more important to him than anything. This. Is fine. He exhales a soft sigh, a bit of tension easing off with it. "So, please, don't worry about it."
whenyouneedme: (150)

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-08-02 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
He doesn't mean to be. He was just getting the feeling that maybe he was the one that was missing something.

Because he was really, honestly not sure what other misunderstandings could be gleaned from that kind of story, and being told not to worry about it just made it a little more confusing? "I mean... okay? Think I'm the one misunderstandin' something though. Ah--"

Oh, no, wait, there was one glaring detail. It was Kai's turn to drop his voice down for Shinji secrets. "If it's like.. how you swing, or whatever, that doesn't matter to me at least. So. You don't have to tell me anythin, but. You're good, ok?"

Hopefully at least that was comforting.
hedgehogsdilemma: (He says he wants to as well)

[personal profile] hedgehogsdilemma 2020-08-02 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well.

Yes.

That is a comfort. Even if it does reignite whatever blushing he'd managed to curb up to this point. Super cool.

"A-ah, it's... not like that part is totally wrong," it comes out as a bit of a grumble, as he finally unclasps his hands in order to bring one up to lightly cover his face. Of course it wouldn't matter to Kai, that makes sense, it's just a really embarrassing way to end up disclosing that information. "But, thank you, for that."
whenyouneedme: (149)

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-08-02 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah.

Yeah. Okay. That delicate thing. Yes.

Now things were making sense. Having information like that divulged in a manner that you hadn't planned on was rough. Ah, but that was kind of because he'd been poking? Ah. Ah. Shit. Oops. Heck. Kai rubbed the back of his neck.

"'Course. You're Shinji either way."
hedgehogsdilemma: (Lost all they’ve got)

[personal profile] hedgehogsdilemma 2020-08-02 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
To be fair, Kai did tell Shinji that he didn't have to say anything, that was all Shinji's doing.

"I do appreciate it," he replies, grumbles quieting back down to a gentle murmur of his own. That had definitely been a latent worry, that, despite how relaxed he'd been with a lot of stuff already, revealing this would somehow change Kai's opinion on him. Of course, that was a silly thing to be worrying about, and it would be hard to not take Kai at his word.

"I like what we have. I wouldn't want something like that to ruin it."
whenyouneedme: (040)

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-08-02 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
What an asshole move that would have been. But that kind of stark, turn of a dime change of opinion really wasn't an impossibility in the grand scheme of humanity. Kai wouldn't have been able to begrudge that despite everything else, maybe that was still a worry with him.

"Mmm. Nothing's changed." At least, it felt like they'd managed to catch something before it had? Mostly. There was still the vague feeling that he was missing something important, but he couldn't put his finger on it. It was sitting right there with the weird feeling in his chest.

What he could do that wasn't lingering on those mysteries was sling his arm back around Shinji's shoulders.

"...Still good?"
hedgehogsdilemma: (Seek it out)

[personal profile] hedgehogsdilemma 2020-08-02 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
There was definitely some kind of strange tension floating around, and Shinji's not too thrilled about the idea of tackling it himself.

What he is okay with, at least, is that invitation to resume the coze. They agree that nothing had majorly changed, so there's no reason they can't reprise that comfortable position from earlier. He drops his hand away from his face, letting it come back to an easy rest at his lap.

"... Yeah." He leans back against Kai once more, not quite as heavily as before, but still resting his head against the other's shoulder. This feels. Nice. A good spot to try and cool some more of that burn from his cheeks. "As long as you're still good with it."
whenyouneedme: toniii (086)

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-08-02 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
For better or worse, Kai could only work with what he was given. He could only assume that anything else here was just lingering embarrassment, or if it was anything larger than that, that Shinji would tell him whenever he was ready to bring it up. That had generally worked out so far, so Kai didn't see any reason to doubt it.

He let Shinji adjust to his own comfort levels, humming as he did so. "Of course I am," he said firmly, even as the words leapt to different associations. Ah, hm, good going there, author. Clicking his tongue, Kai gave a shrug with his other shoulder.

"You're still stuck with me."
hedgehogsdilemma: (Then I kept pretending)

[personal profile] hedgehogsdilemma 2020-08-03 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
'Of course', he says, and yes, it's tough to not have that particular passage spring to mind immediately. Thanks a lot, author. Shinji swallows quickly, pushing that particular memory out of mind for the moment.

"Well, good. There isn't anyone I'd rather be stuck with." Even if that means they get some speculative stories thrown their way. As long as Kai didn't mind them, then Shinji was more than willing to ignore them entirely. Uncomfortable as it is, it isn't quite so bad with Kai being the other person involved, if he's going to be this chill about it. As that thought crosses his mind, he carefully threads one arm around Kai's back.

"I'm glad it's you."
whenyouneedme: (023)

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-08-03 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Good," Kai murmured, "Me too."

If there were going to be misunderstandings, make them with the one that'd be chill. Make them with the one that would gracefully bow out when he wasn't needed any more. Despite how much hadn't changed, the idea that Actually, Really, there was probably someone more appealing out there wasn't one that Kai was going to easily forget. He'd just have to enjoy this while he could.

As much as he didn't want to invite being left behind, Shinji's happiness would be one of the best reasons for it.

With mindless network scrolling being what did them in the first time, Kai didn't go for it a second time. He was opting for minding how much tension remained in the smaller frame leaning against him, watching the fake skies crawling above them as he resumed his patchwork humming.
hedgehogsdilemma: (Seek it out)

[personal profile] hedgehogsdilemma 2020-08-03 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Shinji knows there's no way he's going to be forgetting that story any time soon, but having this warm, accepting presence next to him for however long he needs it comes as a huge comfort. As they sit, he eventually lets his eyes slip closed - not as a measure to doze off, but rather sharpen his focus on that meandering melody. How nice, he thinks, that right now, he gets all of this to himself.

With that thought, he lets out a lengthy exhale. Kai's offer to clear up any misunderstandings isn't going to leave his mind anytime soon either, and the longer it lingers there, the more Shinji realizes that the right thing to do would really be to reciprocate that offer.

Even if he's honestly kind of frightened on what the answer might be. He should still be bracing for this to be a 'right now' kind of thing.

"Thank you," he murmurs after a few moments of thought. "For always being so good to me. If there's anyone you like, you can rely on me to make things right for you."
whenyouneedme: (152)

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-08-03 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Kaito glanced down at the top of Shinji's head, a baffled sort of surprise briefly coloring his features. Oh. Huh. Maybe he should have seen that counter-offer coming his way at some point. H...mm.

"Ha... thanks." Tilting his head a bit in the other direction, Kai lightly scratched at his cheek. "Wouldn't worry about that though. I doubt it'd ever be a problem."
hedgehogsdilemma: (Then I kept pretending)

[personal profile] hedgehogsdilemma 2020-08-03 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? That's not a response he necessarily expected, but that at least means he shouldn't be planning on having to let go and relinquish this nice and cozy spot at Kai's side to someone else just yet. How fortunate for him.

"Really...?" Not ever? Shinji thinks it's pretty likely that, given Kai's general nature, he'd probably end up with someone as accommodating as he is, making that potential scenario literally no problem, but that... kind of doesn't sound like what he means by it. He sinks a little heavier against Kai before continuing, "Well, just in case it ever is, the offer's there."
whenyouneedme: (145)

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-08-04 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
What was with that 'really.' Of course 'really.' Kai snorted a little, turning his gaze back across their surroundings. "Appreciate it," he said quietly, because it really was a thoughtful sentiment to give back to him. It was just a bit unnecessary.

He'd meant it when he'd said that whole story had been kind of flattering. As far as Kai knew, that'd been the first time anyone had ever considered him a viable choice for anything, including himself!

"But really," he said after a few moments. "I've never really thought about it."
hedgehogsdilemma: (Keep me in your clouded mind)

[personal profile] hedgehogsdilemma 2020-08-04 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
He hadn't been angling to pry - even if Shinji volunteered information about himself pretty freely earlier, the idea had been there that he didn't have to share if he hadn't wanted to, and it wouldn't be very fair of him to expect Kai to divulge anything either. So, surprise! It appears they get more information brought to light today.

"I think... I might understand." A Shinji from much earlier definitely wouldn't have considered himself a viable option for... anyone. And even now, it's a tough thing to really imagine something happening, but, at least, the door for speculating has been opened for him. "Maybe." Unless he's misinterpreting or projecting, both of which are totally plausible. "You don't have to explain if you don't want to, though."
whenyouneedme: (159)

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-08-04 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
It just seemed like these were the sorts of things friends could talk about-- you know, when they were your actual friends. Even if Shinji had been digging (he wasn't), Kai couldn't say he would have minded.

"Mm, s'fine," Kai assured him with a lazy hum. "Not sure there's much to really explain." At least in Kai's head, it didn't seem like it was anything as potentially complicated as Shinji's boat.

"'M just, y'know, not exactly what you'd call boyfriend material." He was grinning as he said it as if that were pretty funny. Could you imagine. Him as a boyfriend. A riot. "More than that, I dunno. Not sure what people are seeing when they're into other people."
hedgehogsdilemma: (It goes like this the 4th the 5th)

[personal profile] hedgehogsdilemma 2020-08-04 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Kai, if only you knew.

Too bad someone hasn't spilled the beans yet.

"'Dunno," he opts to answer that first part with a carefully measured response, "I figure you're a fun and charming person, someone's bound to find that appealing." Maybe he's just biased (he's probably pretty biased) but he wouldn't call Kai a lost cause just from his particular quirks and attitude. What might make things a little trickier, though, is a general lack of understanding the appeal from Kai's end of things.

"But, hmm," he hums softly for a short moment as he digests this new information and lets it settle in with the rest of his earlier feelings, "I'd guess... It's probably a really personal thing. Honestly, I don't really know how it works for other people."

Just something that clicks. 'This person has been kind to me, I want to spend so much more time with them' over and over again until suddenly flowers are being exchanged and the two of you end up cuddled together on a public bench. Normal? stuff??

"My perspective on it's probably not the best, either."
whenyouneedme: (049)

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-08-04 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
If he had even the slightest inkling, perhaps 'fun and charming' would have come as less of a body blow. Fun. And charming. Oh, Shinji, you poor thing. That was terribly biased. Please meet actually charming people. Please get some better standards.

It varying from person to person though... yeah, that made sense.

"I wouldn't say that. You seem like you've got a decent grip on it so far." He already had an inkling that maybe things were more than just for one or the other, after all. That was a big self discovery to have!

"And you're probably right. I doubt it's a one-size fits all thing. That'd be too easy, I guess."
hedgehogsdilemma: (A quote out of context)

[personal profile] hedgehogsdilemma 2020-08-04 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
You've charmed at least one person, Kai! Ergo, 'charming'. It's fine. He meant what he said.

"It's not like I have a lot of experience with it." Not even any good role models to look toward! Which, thinking about it, he and Kai might be in a similar boat to him in that regard, based on what knowledge he's gotten about Kai's life growing up. Regardless, what little grasp he does have on it feels shaky at best, and calling it 'decent' feels generous. "But I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing if you haven't figured things out for yourself. Even if it takes a while or just never happens, you'll still be Kai."
whenyouneedme: Toniii ~<3 (057)

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-08-04 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Clearly the charming one here was Shinji with that line.n

He was also pretty close with those guesses. Even then, it wasn't like Kai hadn't had some degree of exposure. His buddies had dipped in and out of 'relationships.' He'd seen plenty of things go on at karaoke. He'd just never felt anything about any of it. It had all been thick, oppressive buzzing while he hardly existed.

A very, very different experience than he felt now. Kai's smile shifted, warming with fondness. See. That was pretty decent. "Mmm. Yeah, guess so." For better or worse, he was still Kai. "But that's what I mean. Maybe you don't have a lot of experience, but you know the important parts."

"I haven't had a reason to feel bothered at all but... thanks." Kai gave Shinji's shoulders a bit of a squeeze. "Still nice to hear."
hedgehogsdilemma: (I'm finally at peace)

[personal profile] hedgehogsdilemma 2020-08-05 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Really, he's just returning the sentiment Kai had given him, so guess who's the real charming one?

"I don't really know about that." He definitely feels like he's missing some pretty key elements to this whole 'affection and relationship' stuff, but it seems like maybe not the right thing to be making too fine a point of right now. That would probably just lead to him feeling extra gloomy, and they're actively trying to avoid that kind of murky, tense atmosphere right now.

"But, if that helps at all, I'm glad." His own hold at Kai's back tightens a fraction, and he relaxes a little further as he's pulled in close. Ah. How lucky he truly is. "I just... you've been really good to me, so I want you to be happy. That's all."
whenyouneedme: toniii (084)

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-08-05 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Having had no real critical reflections on these sorts of things until Right Now, Kai wasn't all that sure what else might have been a key element. There was already the idea that things didn't have to be one way or the other, the knowledge that something new about a person didn't really change that person, understanding that these things took time...? Real important bits! Very critical! Anything about the uh, actual relationships, well. Hoho. Those were still in "haven't even thought about that" parts.

So for everyone's sake, Kai didn't press him on what Shinji might have meant.

"See, that's why it doesn't really matter much for me. I'm real good just like this. It's... been a happy year."
