Let's see. You already tried getting blackout drunk. You've gone to at least one party I knew about. Are you telling me you didn't mack on anyone there?

[heiroglyphs]

No? I mean, Ari kissed me on a dare, but I wouldn't really call that "macking". [Air quotes.]

I try to be at least a little nuanced when it comes to that stuff.

[longwei2go]

Uh... which one's Ari, again? [ there are a lot of people she doesn't properly introduce herself to at parties so they all sort of blur together after a while. (Not that the drinking helps.) ]

[heiroglyphs]

About my height. [In heels, maybe.] Long, dark hair? Dante's girlfriend.

[longwei2go]

[ Yin leans her head back and squints at the ceiling, trying to visualize the girl in question. ] Oh. Okay.

Yeah, I wouldn't call that a score at all. Maybe your problem is that you're too subtle.

[heiroglyphs]

You think so?

[She takes another long drag.]

When I'm not subtle I just make an ass of myself. I'm really not good with this kind of shit.

[longwei2go]

You expect to master the art of seduction on your second try or something? Hah! [ Yin is far too amused by the notion. ] Please tell me you don't take dating advice from self-help books or something.

[heiroglyphs]

Reading books got me most of my other knowledge, what's wrong with doing that here?

[longwei2go]

Because people aren't algebra problems, you nerd.

[heiroglyphs]

No, algebra is easy. People are ridiculous. [Puff.]

[longwei2go]

Right. So, no books. Try an app or something. Go out. Fuck up. Get good.

I'm telling you — nothing beats experience, if you don't mind a few one night stands along the way. [ speaking of standing, Yin takes the opportunity to get up. ] You got any soda?

[heiroglyphs]

A couple Cokes in the fridge. I try not to touch the stuff.

[She's glad to quickly change subjects. It's no secret that she's terrible at socializing, as well as receiving advice. It would be a long time before she dated someone again, if ever.

And what was that about one night stands?]

[longwei2go]

Right, I forgot you actually care what you put in your body.

[ Yin's off to scour the fridge for a coke, and also see if she's got anything worth snacking on. dinner wasn't that long ago but that won't matter to her body soon. ]

[heiroglyphs]

And you don't? Either you're full of shit, or you have the luckiest metabolism ever.

[longwei2go]

Beggars can't be choosers. [ she pops the can open and sits back down. ] You think it's any coincidence the worst stuff for you happens to be the cheapest, too?

[ Yin flexes her metal arm. prosthetic or not, there's no missing the fact what's left of her arm is buff as hell. which normally wouldn't make sense... ] Plenty of good ways to burn off the excess.

[heiroglyphs]

Yeah, I'm on the treadmill every day to keep my shape, and I'm hardly what you'd call "athletic".

[longwei2go]

Treadmill is for old people. I'm talking cardio, free weights, hitting the punching bag, drumming and... well, that's almost it.

[heiroglyphs]

Yeah? You got some kind of secret workout or something?

[Do the doctors hate you?]

[longwei2go]

[ let her tell you about the time she lost 20 lbs in just five seconds! ]

Secret from you, maybe. [ there is the trademark grin of implied nastiness. ]

[heiroglyphs]

Oh.

[She shakes her head, a bit disgusted by her forwardness, but more frustrated at her assumption.]

I know plenty about that, Yin. I did have a girlfriend.

[longwei2go]

[ snort. ] Trust me, if it required a partner, there'd be nothing routine about it.

[heiroglyphs]

What are you even talking about?

[longwei2go]

[ she can't help but bust out laughing at that reply. Vera's got to stop doing that to her. she's going to actually hurt herself one of these days. ]

[heiroglyphs]

[Oh and that response is such a big help.]

What? Too much of a genius to tell me what I don't know?

[She takes another long drag of her vape. Fuck, it's hard to stay mad on this stuff.]

[longwei2go]

Maybe. If you can't figure out on your own, someone's gotta have "the talk" with you eventually. [ said complete with air quotes. hey it's kinda nice to be able to do that again! ]
