[ You've got mail.

After some friendly chats, the trio decide to go out on a dungeon run together. Why? Simply because that that is the way the dominoes fell.

Their prize? A lovely scenery consisting of a frosty, snowy tundra that seems to encompass the surrounding area, though right in the middle of it is stone wall, of which there is an entry point into the actual heart of the dungeon...where there are monsters and treasure to be found!

Welcome to Blurry Marble's Slacker, folks. ]

RESULTS: Here!

[ Ah. Michel blinks. His eyes refocus on Ganymede. And he finally lifts the other (still un-licked) hand to rest his palm on Ganymede's hair... and ruffle it vigorously. ]

"Earth"? Are you certain that's where you're from? Why would you l-lick me?!

[ Granting that it did get him to stop. But that isn't the point... ]

[ganymed]

The country Greece, on the planet Earth.

[ Ganymede says, voice pitching up in mild surprise as his hair is ruffled A Lot, which is very Fair. ]

Because...because I could? It surprised you, didn't it?

[ He doesn't even seem sorry!! ]

[userunfriendly]

[ That's right, take your just desserts, Ganymede! Michel pulls his hand back very slightly when he's satisfied. Or at least, temporarily appeased. ]

Many things would have surprised me. That doesn't mean you should do all of them.

[ganymed]

I wouldn't do all of them. That would be unreasonable.

[ He places his hands innocently behind his back. ]

...It was worth seeing you so surprised, though. I'd started to wonder if you actually didn't mind it.

[ Apparently receiving his just desserts doesn't stop Ganymede from opening his mouth. It's just a small virtual lick, he reasons, and they're—together. It's not like he goes around licking people who are not his boyfriend. ]

[userunfriendly]

Th-that was already unreasonable!

[ Ah... he begins to understand. This is hell after all, and Ganymede's angelic appearance was just the form Michel's specific torment took. He curls his licked hand as if to hide that finger. ]

That... mhm...

[ "Now I know what your tongue feels like on my skin" is not a thought he needed crowding his head today, and yet here he is. ]

[ganymed]

What was?

[ Not going to deny that, though, but it was also definitely worth it.

Yet, something else occurs to him. Enough that Ganymede blurts out in inquiry: ]

...So, does that mean you liked it?

[ A faux serious face is present. ]

[userunfriendly]

[ He stares at Ganymede for a long, silent moment. He contemplates every way he could possibly answer that, each of them differently damning.

And then he turns on his heel to move briskly along. ]

There are more crane games this way.

[ Wow! Good thing that's what they were talking about just now. ]

[ganymed]

[ Reaching with his free hand so his fingers can wrap around one of Michel's. He will match the pace even if he's smaller. ]

You're embarrassed. Like a lot, aren't you?

[ The quick subject change does not save the other man.

It might condemn him instead. ]

[userunfriendly]

[ Is there no fleeing from Ganymede's speedwalking... Nevermind that Michel is making no effort to free his hand. ]

Apparently, I have no choice but to be embarrassed enough for both of us.

[ganymed]

[ No escape!!

But seeing Michel not letting go of his hand does put a skip in the blond's step. ]

That's a lot of embarrassment for one person to hold. Are you sure you can manage it?

[userunfriendly]

Perhaps if you didn't keep piling it on.

[ It's admittedly hard to look grumpy when Ganymede is practically a localized sun, bounding happily along. But Michel is very talented. ]

[ganymed]

I'm taking no blame for the sudden piling of embarrassment.

[ Someone idolizes himself as a pillar of smartassitude, clearly. ]

[userunfriendly]

You should.

[ BLUNTLY. Who does Ganymede think is responsible, huh??? ]

[ganymed]

[ Um not himself??? ]

Why should I?

[userunfriendly]

[ You know what?? What if he picks up the pace, rather than letting himself be tricked into an unwinnable argument with Ganymede? ]

[ganymed]

[ Ganymede gets tugged along...but he holds on tight. ]

H-hey! What's this for??

[userunfriendly]

We're outrunning your responsibility.

[ Apparently! Except that he's not going to daunt Ganymede with exercise anytime soon. ]

[ganymed]

If we're doing that, you should at least give me a piggyback ride.

[ And this is exactly why Michel is doing what he is doing right now. ]

[userunfriendly]

[ ...He can't defeat Ganymede, can he? That's a critical hit. Michel just comes to a stop. ]

...That's clearly not needed.

[ganymed]

[ Michel tried but he lost the battle... ]

If you say so. So, you said there were some other games? Or do you want to go somewhere else? Like to one of those other recreational areas?

[ There was that Hot Springs area he hadn't gotten a chance to check out with Michel. Maybe he can convince him to come along. ]

[userunfriendly]

[ Oh. It's hard to stay sulking when Ganymede brings up that possibility. If Ganymede can refrain from licking him — or, perhaps not... ]

I've been meaning to visit some of the others. [ And some he already has, in the process of scoping out date spots. ] Were you interested in any?

[ganymed]

[ He might just lick him again. Stay tuned. ]

What about the Hot Springs? I never went there.

What about you?

[userunfriendly]

[ Michel will be intensely tuned, unfortunately. Thanks Ganymede! ]

I stopped by briefly. I'd still like to visit properly. [ ie, With Ganymede... ] If we're still playing the beta in the winter, the ski lodge.

[ No, he can't ski. He just wants to cuddle on the couches by a fireplace. ]

[ganymed]

[ Your welcome!! ]

The ski lodge? For skiing?

[ Ganymede has never went skiing before, even if Greece does actually have places that do have ski lodges. That's right, Ski lodges in a Mediterranean country? They are more likely than you might think! ]

[userunfriendly]

I don't know how. But... learning in VR should be harmless.

[ Yeah, he didn't just make that up on the spot to hide his more compelling motivation. He's good.

Also does Greece even have snow?? Mysteries. ]
