Um.

[Yuuri looks like he might very well be thinking better of posting on the network at all, and actually moves like he's making for the "off" button for half an instant, but then he pauses halfway there. He's visibly steeling himself for a moment, as he takes a deep breath, exhales it back out, and gets a look of intense determination on his face before he plunges forward.]

Some of the rest of you have found things lying around when you woke up before, right?

It's just that...

[He falters again, but shakes his head, pressing on.]

...I found this yesterday. Hanging from the doorframe by my room.

[He holds up his hand to show a ring cupped in his palm. It's simple, but certainly looks like real gold.]

One of the cats was batting at it, and I was worried she might try to eat it or something, so at first I was just thinking about getting it away from her, but... um. I don't know how it got there, and it fits me exactly, and it...

I mean, it looks an awful lot like a wedding ring, doesn't it?

[He glances at it as if to double-check that it does. At some point, he's gone from "faintly pink around the cheeks" to "just absolutely beet red." When he looks back up, he seems pretty unsure how to continue. He might be having a slight panic attack, but what else is new, honestly?]

...I don't... I don't really know what I'm supposed to do about this.

I think we can? I'm not completely sure, though, now that I think about it.

You're right, I know. I'm not going to look too hard at it or anything, it's just... weird, like you said.

[redotiertwo]

someone needs to do a controlled experiment here
and answer this very important existential question
how many scientists do we have

yeah it is
i had a sword show up a while ago
which while not as emotionally significant as a wedding ring
is still pretty fucking weird when you have a perfectly formed hole in you for it

[latebloomingeros]

I don't know that I've talked to any scientists here, actually. Does that seem a little strange to you?

...A hole *in you?*

[That's more than a little bit too metal for Yuuri!]

[redotiertwo]

to be fair
certain scientists would probably spontaneously combust at the revelation of an existing afterlife
so not really

long story
it's kind of like a scar in my stomach
except instead of the hole being scarred over its just scarred through i guess

[latebloomingeros]

That's true. It's enough of a surprise to those of us with no idea what to expect, I think.

That's... it doesn't hurt, does it?




I'm so sorry, that was a really inappropriate thing to ask

[redotiertwo]

dude i dont think theres a line drawn for inappropriate conduct when were talking this sort of shit
it doesnt hurt anyway but man you must be fun at parties
youd be clutching pearls over the first game of spin the bottle

[latebloomingeros]

You'd be surprised, apparently.

[Who's got two thumbs and is still embarrassed about how he acted when he got drunk at the firefly party? This guy.]

I'm not sure what spin the bottle has to do with your situation, though...

[redotiertwo]

well thats not foreboding at all
should i be looking out at the next party

i dont know
i could probably fit a bottle in here if i tried hard enough

[latebloomingeros]

"Foreboding" definitely sounds like an overstatement. I'm not a threat to anything but my own dignity, thankfully.

...I'm trying not to envision that, and it's not working.

[redotiertwo]

theres a thing called secondhand embarrassment
so i still say it sounds foreboding

yeah its not really worth testing anyway
might ruin the nice tight sword hole i got going on here

[latebloomingeros]

Oh. If that's what you're concerned about, then...

I'm not sure what testing it out would really accomplish in the best of circumstances. Other than maybe a really inconvenient way to sneak drinks into places.

[redotiertwo]

you never know
sometimes you really need a drink
or a molotov cocktail i guess but that would just explode at that angle
