[ ...shoulderpat. ]

Sure, I get that it's gotta be frustrating. But if anyone gets annoyed about it, that's just them being an asshole. It's not on you.

[outdistanced]

[ stop now he's starting to feel even more self-conscious. what if he pretends this conversation didn't happen. ]

...Your movie's still going.

[clockpunk]

[ sure, we can do that. chrono's still leaning on him though. ]

...ah. Man, I really thought this one would be good for this. Maybe it needed to be somethin' I haven't seen, too.

[ so he can shut up during it. ]

[outdistanced]

[ that's fine he's not pushing chrono off yet ]

Giant monsters, giant monsters, punching things. I think I got the gist.

[clockpunk]

Yeah, but... there's somethin' passionate in it. Gets your blood movin'.

[ sighs. ]

Or, there should be. It's not really hittin' right now.

[outdistanced]

[ shit my typo one of those was supposed to be giant robots. anyway he raises an eyebrow but. sure. passionate. ]

You brought all those other ones, too. We could try one of those, if you want.

[clockpunk]

[ don't harsh his currently nonexistent vibe, dude. ]

...mm. [ he's comfy... but leans over to inspect the dvd pile anyway. ] There's like, a couple of historical ones I got for Taair, but they make me fall asleep.

[outdistanced]

[ they can just get comfortable again it's fine. ]

Yeah, let's not do those. I think I'd fall asleep, too. I don't know how he gets so into that stuff.

[clockpunk]

[ laughs lightly. ]

Right? It's different when he's explaining stuff, because he's so excited it's easy to listen. The books and these though... yawn.

[ hmm. ]

There's like, a fantasy romance thing. With vampires? [ stares at it. ] Why did I grab this.

[outdistanced]

I mean, I did read his book, but it was hard to get into when you don't really understand what he's talking about... He had to explain a lot of it.

[ squints. ]

Vampires?

[ what... are vampires... ]

[clockpunk]

I tried, but ended up just askin' him to tell me about the stories instead. Way better that way, like a super enthusiastic audiobook.

[ nods ]

You had fantasy stories but no vampires, huh. They're like, undead humans who drink blood to survive. Got fangs [ taps a tooth ] and sometimes wings or pointy ears. Or. Sparkly skin.

[outdistanced]

I don't think he'd mind, either way. Having a reason to talk about Iria is plenty for him.

...Sorry, they drink blood?

[ gross?? ]

[clockpunk]

Oh, yeah, didn't mind at all. It's really interesting, how different places can be.

[ heh(???). amused by this reaction in any case. ]

They're supposed to be horror genre creatures, but at some point people started makin' em sexy instead. Which is why we've got this. [ taps the dvd. ] Guess it's the biting.

[outdistanced]

...No wonder you two get along. You're birds of a feather.

[ pun intended. ya nerds.

he was about to comment on them being horror movie creatures, but. falters. takes another look at the movie cover, incredulous. ]

Sexy. [ why. also why do you have something like this, chrono. ] I really don't see the appeal of something that wants to drink your blood.

[clockpunk]

[ shrugs!!! but looks oddly pleased by that assessment.

also look at the dvd and suddenly feels self-conscious about it. so he half-frisbee tosses it off to the side somewhere. ]

Yeah, well, me neither. But it's really popular with girls, so I probably picked it up for the... range?

[outdistanced]

[ side-eyes. ]

The range? A movie about "sexy" horror creatures that drink blood?
