[Lancer had some reservations about making anything for the administrators after hearing about the month with the infighting, but he had promised to get something for Ruana and Dax. Even if he wasn't sure how he felt about them, a promise was still a promise.]

[So he had made something for them for New Year's day. And then gotten something back. Restaurant tickets. From Riki. Who served poison fish once.]

[He spends an hour or so just staring at them and wondering if it's a trap. Then, he decides to try and figure out what he wants to do with them.]

So, what's the restaurant here like
is it any good
if, say, someone gets his hands on a free coupon for it, what's he supposed to do?

only fun when the food is good
and even then it might be wasteful
in this tower

[chainsawn]

Why would it be wasteful? There's usually food in the cafeteria no matter what, right?

[puppy_lancer]

last jason month he stopped stocking the cafeteria
because we pissed him off
sometimes riki serves poisoned fish
other times you get only nutrition bars
or nasty tasting shit
so yeah, there's people who can might need restaurant tickets
more than the guy who doesn't need to eat

[chainsawn]

I don't think the bars are all that bad though.. [ But this comes from the girl who - during one of the admins' experiments - ate all kinds of nasty food and didn't even blink at it. ]

But why don't you just give the coupons away then?

[puppy_lancer]

because i might wanna take a girl or two out for dinner.

[chainsawn]

[ .. oh, wait, she does know a little about that!! ]

In a romantic way? But shouldn't you take just one then?

[puppy_lancer]

don't eat
remember?
so i figure i might take an extra girl
too bad i only have two coupons

[chainsawn]

But it'll be awkward if there's another girl sitting too.. I don't think girls like it when you take out two of them at the same time. [ AS IF YOU AREN'T A GIRL, UROTSUKI.. ]

[puppy_lancer]

i think i can handle taking both out at the same time

[Hey, if he was only teasing one of them, then it didn't count as cheating.]

[chainsawn]

.. It sounds interesting. For girls to be okay with that.. I know I wouldn't be.

[puppy_lancer]

i've had the luck to know some really good women
so i think i know which ones are okay with it and which aren't

[chainsawn]

Do you know that many girls?

How amazing.. you must be popular.

[puppy_lancer]

i know plenty of girls
and i know a few of them really well
"popular" is a good way to put it

[chainsawn]

I think you're the first popular person I know. .. I'm so glad, finally meeting someone like that for real.

[puppy_lancer]

you've never met anyone popular before?
doesn't everyone at least hear about popular people back in their worlds?

[chainsawn]

There's a difference between hearing about them and meeting them though, right? I've heard about them a lot, but it's not the same.

[puppy_lancer]

[He wonders if this counts as meeting as well. It's definitely not in person.]

that's true
then, i'm pretty glad to be able to be the first popular person you've met
my name is Lancer
you should ask around for me sometime
i'll show you how popular people have fun

[chainsawn]

[ hey, it's talking to someone popular! that's already more than she's ever done, either way.. ]

Really? You mean you wouldn't mind being around someone like me? Or even having fun with me..?

[puppy_lancer]

why would i?
unless your idea of fun is murdering people or something
then i might mind a bit

[chainsawn]

I wouldn't just kill someone. [ or, well, not without a good reason, either way. ] Murdering people would be a really strange hobby to have. Even I can tell that.

[puppy_lancer]

then we'll probably have no problems with each other
sorry, but there's some nasty people like that in the tower

[chainsawn]

Someone else told me that too before. Are there really that many people like that here..? I've never met any.

[puppy_lancer]

and i've met too many
so be careful, okay?

[chainsawn]

[ ... ]

Don't worry. I will.

I know how to fight, after all. And there's people I want to protect too, so of course I have to know how to.

[puppy_lancer]

oh, fight?
how?
weapons, bare hands
just curious here.
