Good day, fellow Etrayans.

Concerning Antigone's warning regarding our real names, it occurs to me that we would benefit from collaborating on this front.

Oh. I think I'm having the opposite problem. Everything's been

A lot's been going on and I can't get my mind quieted enough to focus on anything that takes more brain power than King's Knight.

[oblige]

I'm unfamiliar. What is King's Knight?

[saychocobo]

It's a mobile game. I already checked - it's not on the HUD.

[oblige]

It may be possible to purchase from Aurora with points. I've not heard of anyone requesting additions to the HUD, but it may be worth inquiring, particularly if it would provide you some peace of mind.

[saychocobo]

Ooh. See, now that's gonna be a tough call. I was planning on saving up my points to make Gladio clean my apartment.

[oblige]

I'm uncertain as to whether points function in this manner.

[saychocobo]

» Only one way to find out, am I right?

[oblige]

That is true enough.

Why Gladio cleaning in particular?

[saychocobo]

» Cause he cleaned his place. Might as well try to get in on this maid in arms thing so I don't hafta mop.

[oblige]

Are you averse to cleaning?

[ His military butt just does it on autopilot... ]

[saychocobo]

» Nah. More like averse to cleaning if someone else's willing to do it for me.

[oblige]

Willing or potentially contracted with points?

[saychocobo]

» Why are you available?

» Seriously I don't know what to do with points. I have what I need.

[oblige]

Merely ensuring that I follow. I'd not mind assisting someone, but I am no maid.

For a long while, I did not know either. So many resources are free, and more plentiful than in my world. I find it uncanny.

[saychocobo]

» Not calling you a maid. Also not calling you to clean, relax. It's more like - relaying a joke between friends. No like needed, that's what it is.

» "Stores" are weird here. Feels like I'm robbin' them blind but they're just mechs so I dunno if I *care*... I wasn't raised to walk into a shop and gank those new pants.

[oblige]

I see. In that case, thank you for the clarification. It was often the case I had to grapple to be permitted to do anything for myself, so I didn't follow.

The shops here are peculiar in that way, I agree. My world does not work that way, which seems true for anyone I've seen comment upon it.

[saychocobo]

» Yeah the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I had to do a lot for myself growing up. It's not that great, but I know it's kinda stifling when you don't get to do that either. If I figure out the balance, I'll let you know.

» Yeah I doubt anybody'd figured out how to give everybody what they need.

[oblige]

Likewise, though I seem to err on the side of taking on too much, now that none may bat my hands away.

We differ a great deal, as surely do our needs. It's remarkable, actually, how much various worlds do and do not have in common.
