[riptidequeen]

[Nah at the moment she's in default mode, so no dick here. Unless you mean being a dick as a person, then maybe.]

Hey you're good with it, at least?

And no rush, even if the clerk is giving me a funny look.

[loungelizard]

[He sends a picture of a wrapped "PENGA" egg in his hand.]

These are my current favorites. If you're lucky you can find them in a variety pack with all sorts of fun textures. Only drawback is that they're designed to be disposable, but if you don't stretch them too much and clean it out after, you can get a few uses out of them before they lose their spunk.

[riptidequeen]

[Her reply takes a few minutes to happen because she went looking for what is in the picture he sent her, and lucky for her she found the variety pack. So less her having to make a choice.]

Okay, they have them here. Thanks, Larry, for helping.

[She means it too, because who else was she going to go to with help with this? Not Gumshoe, that's for sure.]

[loungelizard]

Anytime, babe. Have fun torquing your new pipe.

And thanks for the vote of confidence.

[Arguably it's because he's good with everything else that makes it seem like he's good with his dick, but who cares to be that pedantic?]

[riptidequeen]

[Not Lapis, that's for sure.]

It's just for during the moons! I still need to find something for women's bits too.

And it's not a vote of anything, okay?

[loungelizard]

Am I detecting a bit of defensiveness in your writing? Lapis, it's fine. I'm the last person that would judge you for getting a little exploratory without blaming it on the moon.

[riptidequeen]

No, you're imagining things. It's just I'm not very good with text, why do you think I do everything over voice or video?

[Subject changing time? Subject changing time!]

[loungelizard]

Then why do you keep bringing up the moons?

[riptidequeen]

Because everything weird happens because of them.

[loungelizard]

Being horny isn't "weird". All I want to make sure is that you're having fun regardless of what's going on up above.

[riptidequeen]

[Her reply takes a while to come through because she had to check out with her purchase and get out of the store before she can say anything.

And yes she's switched to audio, she sounds flustered as if admitting this is something someone would use against her.]

If I wasn't interested I wouldn't be buying this kind of stuff, okay?

[loungelizard]

[He, too, switches to audio, because he's more comfortable with it. The only reason he uses text so much is because he thinks he's keeping up with, you know, trends.

But his audio opens to a loooooong period of silence at first.]

I'm...getting mixed signals, here...

[riptidequeen]

[The silence gets to her but she tries to hide it.]

I'm... Sorry?

[loungelizard]

I don't really know if you're into this or not. It's like you want to be into it but you're not, or you're into it but you don't want to be -- something like that.

I-I don't know what to make of it...

[riptidequeen]

Well. That's because... [She sighs]

I made a big deal about Gems not doing this stuff and yet here I am...

[loungelizard]

Lapis...

[Larry sighs softly. There's a little background noise as he changes position, laying down on his couch in preparation for this heart-to-heart.]

Do you want to know something about me?

[riptidequeen]

[Again her reply takes a moment, her background noise sounds more like wind rushing. Yes, she's flown up somewhere to be alone for this. Because random passers-by don't need to be overhearing this.]

If it's about how you know what it's like to be horny all the time, I already know that.

[loungelizard]

[He chuckles.]

Nah. I know you know that. Actually, I, uh...wanted to talk about the time I wasn't.

[He debates internally for a while about how he wants to say it. With all the "time travel" shenanigans that have made a mess out of his understanding of how old he is versus how much time has passed, he wants to say I had sex for the first time less than five years ago but the relativity of time makes that a lie.

But then he remembers that she's seen his Prismates profile, and thus the age he claims to be, so...]

I lost my virginity at 38. I had no interest in sex before then.

[It contradicts some of the things he's suggested about himself, but he feels like now's a good time to break out the truth he doesn't want to admit to.]

[riptidequeen]

[It does, but only in a way that makes Lapis squint at her device instead of questioning it. She doesn't really think Larry would lie about something like that, considering what she's learned about humans and sex since being here.]

I see. But I don't see how that relates to this?

[In other words, please elaborate Larry.]

[loungelizard]

I...

[He fidgets with his jacket lapel idly.]

...I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did.

[Larry sighs softly.]

I changed practically overnight. I only could think about one thing but I kept denying it, thinking I could just go about my life just the same. I lost my job, my house, most of my possessions.

I don't--

I don't think you're in danger of hitting rock bottom like I did, but please don't fight it. Don't be ashamed of it. If...if just for my sake.

[riptidequeen]

[She listens to all of this, not feeling a need to interrupt Larry. It's certainly... something.

And she knows what it's like to be at the lowest point, she lived it for well over five thousand years as a mirror. But she's not going to tell Larry that, not after he's kind of spilt his heart out.]

I'm sorry, and... I'll try.

[loungelizard]

Are you going to be alright?

[Is he going to be alright?]

...Do you want company?

[riptidequeen]

[Both are good questions, actually!]

I'm alright but... If you want company then I won't say no to it.

[loungelizard]

Babe, I could never complain about having company.

[riptidequeen]

[Pfft, don't mind her stifled laugh at the reply. For some reason she just finds it funny.]

I'm guessing you're at your apartment, right? I'll be there soon.
