Neither do I! I can’t grease myself if I need maintenance, that’s on you. Or Pewter.

[ mostly pewter. ]

[unsync]

I don't mind greasing you, but I mean...

You've got hands now.

[ So... ]

[ballies]

And a lack of mechanical joints.

[ takes the fact ryuki would be willing to grease her and files that away to bring out at the worst possible moment later. ]

Maybe I just need to moisturise instead. There are so many skincare articles on the internet.

[ He was thinking in the sense of maintenance for her eye body. He has not considered the implications. He's lucky he didn't say lubricant, which would actually be the correct word. ]

?

[ He hasn't actually accepted that Tama is actual flesh and bone. You must be an android, it's weird if you're Pinocchio'd. Who has that kind of power? ]

[ballies]

[ ryuki... it's gonna hit him at some point and she's ready with the deep breathing exercises and a diamond chest harness for when he freaks out a little.



also the mods. ]

...

[ she can wait this one out. ]

[unsync]

If you want to get into skincare, you're going to have to get your own.

[ He says even though they both know if she started using his, he'd really have no comment. He can just restock. ]

[ballies]

You have the money for the fancy stuff though.

[ still lowkey waiting. happy to deflect for the moment. ]

[unsync]

Technically, since you take care of my finances and whatever budget we have for whatever case or project we're on, you have more money than me.

[ballies]

Ooh.



I'm gonna buy a ton of skincare when we get back.

[unsync]

Can you please use the ones we already have?

[ His money which is basically infinite. ]

[ballies]

You just confirmed I have control of the bank account, Ryuki.

[unsync]

You already knew that!

[ THIS SHOULDN'T BE NEWS? ]

[ballies]

But now it’s official. Like it’s in writing. I’m gonna buy Drunk Elephant.

[unsync]

[ What kind of name is that. ]

Fine, if it makes you happy and doesn't cost a thousand dollars.

1/2

[ballies]

Yay.

2/2

[ballies]

… Although if I’m back in my body when we go back, I guess you’ll have to be the one using it.

[unsync]

I'll try anything once.

What, like you think this body might just be some kind of test run?

You said you didn't really like it though, so being my eye again might not be that bad...

[ballies]

It’s meant to be really good! At least, that was what all the review pages I found said.

[ … ]

I don’t know. It’s— really different. Of course I’m gonna be weirded out, living and existing like an actual human when that’s not how I was made. It’s like a mental and physical sensory overload.

[unsync]

How come we don't have a bottle of one then?

[ Ryuki who lets Tama decide any infinite number of things because she is the master of suggestions and reviews. ]

You can't just dial it back?

[ballies]

I didn’t have skin to consider before now.

[ wow. ]

You dial it back.

[unsync]

I meant for me...

[ With how quickly Tama name dropped Drunk Elephant, he has reason to suspect its been on her watch list for a while. ]

I'm always dialed back. It's why I dress comfortably.

[ballies]

You never expressed a ton of interest in skin care outside of “it works and it keeps me moisturised”.

[ sometimes a guy’s eyeball has to have hobbies. ]

I like how I dress… it’s cute.

[unsync]

I like having soft skin... it feels nice. I just don't have the time to do all of it all the time.

Your clothes are digital... do you not have pants?

[ Ma'am your default outfit. ]

[ballies]

You should take better care of it. You don’t want to look like a foot when you’re older, right?

[ frowns. ]

Well they’re not right now, Ryuki. See? [ toch sleeve. is material. ]

[unsync]

That's not really been an issue.

[ Sure, part of it is [redacted]. Part of it might be budget. But as long as this is all I have to work with, he looks young. ]

So, you don't have pants.

[ Basically. ]

You're going to get cold...
