Year of the Yuri harem 8 The Love Octagon (IC)

[Esprit15]

"One what? Just something to hold onto? Kinda."

[Necroticplague]

..... Welp, I'm never learning your real name. Luna replies with a neutral expression blinking alot.

"You've heard me say it once, remember? When you were flipping out, and I was being a bit dramatic about helping?" She smiles and points to her left eye as the skin around it turns a cyan color to help indicate the time.

[Illven]

"One what? Just something to hold onto? Kinda."

Is that fair to him? Jen asks.

"You've heard me say it once, remember? When you were flipping out, and I was being a bit dramatic about helping?" She smiles and points to her left eye as the skin around it turns a cyan color to help indicate the time.

Wasn't it a little bit unpronounceable. Luna replies.

[Necroticplague]

Wasn't it a little bit unpronounceable. Luna replies.

"Clearly not, I managed to pronounce it. You might have a harder time, but that's easily explainable by being a different language."

[Illven]

"Clearly not, I managed to pronounce it. You might have a harder time, but that's easily explainable by being a different language."

Oh, miss I can speak two languages is here. Luna teased sticking her tongue out.

[Esprit15]

"Well I doubt breaking up will feel any nicer to him. Or maybe he just doesn't want to be with me. I already was fighting girls off of him before. He has other options. Better options, even..."

[The TechnoGnome]

"You can just talk." Agatha points out.

"...I suppose," Mallory muttered, "But you know I'm not the best with people. If I do or say the wrong thing, she might get angry or scared and not like me anymore. And if I don't have the rules in writing beforehand, I might not know until it's too late."

Like? Jen asked

"...I suppose," Mallory muttered, "But you know I'm not the best with people. If I do or say the wrong thing, she might get angry or scared and not like me anymore. And if I don't have the rules in writing beforehand, I might not know until it's too late."

"Want me to talk with her?" Agatha replied.

[Anubis Dread]

"Clearly not, I managed to pronounce it. You might have a harder time, but that's easily explainable by being a different language."

"To be fair, you DO have an extendable and jointed tongue. It's probably hard for us to speak your language when you can make sounds we can't," Alex pointed out. "Not that I'm complaining about your tongue at all. Not in the slightest..." she trailed off drooling.

[Esprit15]

"Agatha for one, that other kinda slutty girl for another. Can't remember her name, don't care. Maybe I'll talk to Agatha at our next meet up. At least make it easier for him."

[Illven]

"To be fair, you DO have an extendable and jointed tongue. It's probably hard for us to speak your language when you can make sounds we can't," Alex pointed out. "Not that I'm complaining about your tongue at all. Not in the slightest..." she trailed off drooling.

Stop drooling, or pass me the beaker, you'll mess up the mixture. Luna replied.

"Agatha for one, that other kinda slutty girl for another. Can't remember her name, don't care. Maybe I'll talk to Agatha at our next meet up. At least make it easier for him."

Isn't he not interested in Agatha? Jen points out.

[Anubis Dread]

Stop drooling, or pass me the beaker, you'll mess up the mixture. Luna replied.

"Oh, sorry," Alex apologized, handing over the beaker. She briefly considered trying to work out what they were actually doing, before deciding that any help she offered would be anything but and figuring that ignorance would probably better for all concerned.

"Not jointed. Just flexible. Don't have any wierd tongue-bones to have joints on."

Oh, miss I can speak two languages is here. Luna teased sticking her tongue out.

P'ro'shi holds up three fingers to respond to this.
"Tres.Yo hablo espanol."

[Illven]

"Oh, sorry," Alex apologized, handing over the beaker. She briefly considered trying to work out what they were actually doing, before deciding that any help she offered would be anything but and figuring that ignorance would probably better for all concerned.

Thank you. Luna replied.

"Not jointed. Just flexible. Don't have any wierd tongue-bones to have joints on"

P'ro'shi holds up three fingers to respond to this.
"Tres.Yo hablo espanol."

I need to learn more languages. Luna groaned.

[Lentrax]

"Is it that bad?" Luke winces.

Lets just say that its important to have a good insurance policy and the number for an ambulance company on hand.

[Illven]

"You mean it isn't just 911, send an ambulance?" Luke asks.

[Lentrax]

That works, but sometimes you just need to cut out the emergency operator. They, uhh... ask a lot of questions.

[The TechnoGnome]

"Want me to talk with her?" Agatha replied.

Mallory set up the next experiment before answering, "I don't know... Maybe? I do want you two to talk and get along at some point. But it's kind of embarrassing that I'm so nervous about this that you even asked me that, let alone that I'm actually considering taking you up on it. She'd probably think I'm so pathetic to have to need you to do something like that for me."

[Esprit15]

[COLOR="#008000"]Isn't he not interested in Agatha? Jen points out.

"Missing the point, but true."

[Necroticplague]

I need to learn more languages. Luna groaned.

"Well, you don't strictly need to, but you probably should. I could teach you how to draw written Deep Aqualish, if you want. It's mostly pictographic."

[Illven]

That works, but sometimes you just need to cut out the emergency operator. They, uhh... ask a lot of questions.

"Fair enough. The celestial was lucky he was never a girl in a previous life I suppose." Luke replied.

"I could just be there if you wanted." Agatha offers.

"Missing the point, but true."

I take your point. Ultimately, it's your decision Takia. I can't make it for you. Jen replied.

"Well, you don't strictly need to, but you probably should. I could teach you how to draw written Deep Aqualish, if you want. It's mostly pictographic."

Like Hieroglyphs? Luna asked to clarify.

[Zevox]

Pr'o'shi stays quiet for much of the conversation about her relationship. However, she does respond at the mention of her name's difficulty. "Um, P'ro'shi is a nickname. A romanization of the first 3 syllables, actually. My name is considerably harder to pronounce, and longer to boot."

"Seriously? That's one hell of a nick. How much harder can your real name actually be?" Tanya replies, having no idea what she's asking.

"It's difficult, and lately I've kind of sucked at balancing s*** properly," Alex admitted. "But I love these two, so it's worth it to be with both of them. The others are just super hot and fun to be around, but hey that's worth something too right?"

"I... dunno," Tanya replies, with a shake of her head. "Can't wrap my head around that kinda thing. Don't think I want to either, honestly."

Aw, you're no fun. Luna teases.

Between this and Alex's repeated lewd remarks to P'ro'shi, Tanya is quickly turning bright red. And at this point, noticeably avoiding saying anything about those remarks, and keeping her eyes off Luna. Things - well, mostly Alex - have gone well past her comfort zone, but due to class, she just has to bear with it. She tries to focus on helping with the mid-term while the others are flirting.

P'ro'shi holds up three fingers to respond to this.
"Tres.Yo hablo espanol."

"Might be worth mentioning that despite the look, I actually don't," Tanya says. "I mean, I know a few of the really common words that most people around here do, but not even enough to make a complete sentence."

[Esprit15]

"I know, it just sucks that I have to make it."

[Illven]

"Seriously? That's one hell of a nick. How much harder can your real name actually be?" Tanya replies, having no idea what she's asking.

For yourself, or other people? Luna replies getting a dangerous glare.

"I know, it just sucks that I have to make it."

Have you asked your mom for advice. Jen asks with a unreadable face.

[Zevox]

For yourself, or other people? Luna replies getting a dangerous glare.

"Myself," Tanya replies calmly. "No skin off my nose what anyone else does. Just not what I'd want."

[Esprit15]

"She'd just suggest I start dating someone else and don't bother telling him. It worked for her so far. She doesn't get that Nate is more sensitive than that, and I still would like to stay friends with him."

[Lentrax]

"Fair enough. The celestial was lucky he was never a girl in a previous life I suppose." Luke replied.

I dunno. Don't think being a girl has anything to do with it, though. Just being a klutz.

[Ionbound]

Heather shakes her head to clear it. "Kinda a shame, she's ****ing hot." Clearly using peripheral vision.

Gwen sighs, hopes of getting work done not quite gone yet, and says, "Yeah, she is. Hey, hand me that crucible, would you?"

[Illven]

"Myself," Tanya replies calmly. "No skin off my nose what anyone else does. Just not what I'd want."

Luna brightens considerably at that. Fair enough. So, how good are you at science?

"She'd just suggest I start dating someone else and don't bother telling him. It worked for her so far. She doesn't get that Nate is more sensitive than that, and I still would like to stay friends with him."

Jen winces Yeah... that would be a terrible idea. She agreed.

I dunno. Don't think being a girl has anything to do with it, though. Just being a klutz.

"Well the angel had a curse put on him, that makes his bones brittle as hell. If he were a girl, everyone would constantly think he was abused."

Gwen sighs, hopes of getting work done not quite gone yet, and says, "Yeah, she is. Hey, hand me that crucible, would you?"

Heather's already started step 1.

"What... I can ogle and work fine." She says defensively.

[The TechnoGnome]

"I could just be there if you wanted." Agatha offers.

"...That would be nice," Mallory said quietly, "And it will give me the opportunity to see if she is willing to put in the effort to not make you uncomfortable."

After taking a few notes on the results of the second experiment, she adds, "But only if it's not too much trouble for you. And of course, this would be before the date, not during it. I need moral support, not a chaperone."
