[9:45pm] • Yulia is waiting in her office. Room. Whatever. She attaches one of Procne's new drawing to the whiteboard before taking further notes on it with a red marker. A huge stack of academic journals on romance lies on her main workdesk, and has spilled over onto the couch as well.
[9:46pm] • Isabella shows up to Yulia's place alone after receiving a curious text. She's wearing her yellow button-up (as her profile pic) when she peeks in.
[9:46pm] Isabella: "Yo, Yulia?"
[9:46pm] Yulia: "Greetings. There should still be room on the couch should you want to take a seat." She doesn't even look away from her work.
[9:47pm] • Isabella strides in and plops, kicking off her shoes, and spreading out a bit. "Hey. What's up?"
[9:47pm] Yulia: Nicodemus, in his usual manner, offers refreshments and a towel. Pretty much any kind of tea or juice is on request, but the food of the day seems to be shortbread cookies.
[9:47pm] • Isabella grabs one of the books, curious.
[9:48pm] Yulia: 'A Study On The Nature of Romantic Capabilities'
[9:48pm] Yulia: There also seems to be sliced fruits on offer.
[9:48pm] • Isabella graciously accepts some fruit. :D
[9:48pm] Yulia: "I present to you a more unique problem that lies well outside of my expertise."
[9:49pm] Isabella: "Uh-huuuh? Looks like boy trouble? Or girl trouble, not sure which you swing for." she says, munching on an orange slice as she leafs through the journals.
[9:50pm] Yulia: The Scizor nods, washes his pincers in the sink over in the next room, and promptly slices and cores some nice fresh apples. Like, with his pincers. It's all done in a flash. Skinning and slicing miniature oranges is largely accomplished similarly.
[9:50pm] Yulia: "Swing."
[9:50pm] • Isabella also thanks Nicodemus as she takes some cookies.
[9:50pm] Yulia: "To clarify, Willow asked me out quite recently."
[9:50pm] • Isabella looks up., cookie in mouth.
[9:50pm] Yulia: "Unsure of how to proceed. Accepted, though."
[9:50pm] Mons: ooh stuff. I'm on for a while
[9:51pm] Isabella: "Willow? Reallly. That's... interesting. Well, first things first, do you even like him?" Munch munch munch.
[9:51pm] Yulia: "Like."
[9:51pm] Yulia: "He is an interesting character. Starting to build determination. Quality worth cultivating."
[9:51pm] Yulia: "Said he wanted to make me happy."
[9:52pm] Isabella: "That's sweet of him..." she thinks.
[9:52pm] Yulia: "If I did like him in that manner, I am afraid it might have been a feeling I would not recognize."
[9:52pm] Yulia: "This has literally never happened to me before."
[9:53pm] Isabella: "Well, hey, everyone has to go through their first relationship at some point, right?"
[9:53pm] Isabella: "Congratulations to you! But you're.. confused about it, eh?"
[9:53pm] • Yulia adds a few new nodes to the diagram on the whiteboard. "It is something that research and analysis has...proven near-unreliable in solving."
[9:54pm] • Isabella shoves over the books and relaxes further, studying the whiteboard from this distance.
[9:55pm] Isabella: "Well, yeah. Even psychology has its limits, you know? The hardest thing is to analyze yourself objectively, and sometimes emotions like love even defy the expectations of chemistry and ingrained behaviors."
[9:55pm] Yulia: It seems to be a flowchart on, well, how to proceed in a budding relationship, using both academic and secondhand sources. Surprisingly, a lot of the advice is marked as Nico's, but Yulia seems largely smart enough to recognize which ones are particular to his species. I mean, 'offer severed heads when courting'? Really?
[9:56pm] Yulia: "I have also tried less academic sources."
[9:56pm] Yulia: "Some books marked as 'dating for dummies'. Guides on how to be a proper lady. I find the information largely wanting."
[9:56pm] Yulia: "Thus, I come to you for pointers."
[9:57pm] Isabella: "Hmm..."
[9:57pm] Isabella: "Well, my relationship with Corinne is only my second, but I think I can help you a bit..."
[9:57pm] Yulia: "I was unaware of any previous ones."
[9:58pm] Yulia: "I was informed that the height difference may make things awkward. I am not particularly sure why this should be so."
[9:58pm] Isabella: "That was before I came to the academy. I started dating my BFF while growing up, Ariel Ace."
[9:58pm] Isabella: "It... didn't really work out."
[9:58pm] Aeros left the chat room. (Quit: )
[10:00pm] Yulia: "Mmmm."
[10:00pm] Isabella: "Height differences... okay, first off, eye contact in a relationship can be important. When there's a large elevation difference it's kind of harder to do that. Kissing can be important too, and that needs lips to be able to meet each other... oh, and difference in height can result in accidentally either staring up at or down at the lady's cleavage, if one involved is a woman. It's
[10:00pm] Isabella: not as big of a problem for sex, I think, but I'm still a virgin too so I'm not entirely sure..."
[10:01pm] Yulia: Yulia is obviously the taller one in the relationship by a couple of inches.
[10:01pm] Yulia: Disregarding the hat, she's just shy of Corinne's height.
[10:02pm] Isabella: "Of course, I don't really care if anyone stares at my boobs so that's not an issue with me either."
[10:02pm] Isabella: "Not one Corinne has to worry about, anyway."
[10:02pm] Yulia: Yulia promptly adds some of this advice to the chart.
[10:03pm] Yulia: Notably, there's a disconnected node labeled "SEX" that points to "???"
[10:03pm] • Isabella decides not to bring this up unless Yulia asks.
[10:04pm] Isabella: "Uhh, what else.."
[10:05pm] Isabella: "I guess why my relationship with Ariel didn't work out was because she was a bit too clingy. You know, focused on the relationship and absolutely nothing else, getting to where she was kind of obnoxious about it. So I had to friendzone her."
[10:06pm] • Yulia silently adds "Management of personal space" to the graph.
[10:06pm] Yulia: Which branches off of "balance of independence and togetherness"
[10:06pm] Isabella: "Which brings up something important, this has to be something both of you enjoy. If one of you isn't comfortable with the relationship it won't work out in the long term."
[10:07pm] Yulia: "....hm."
[10:07pm] Yulia: "What if one is simply uncomfortable with relationship in general?"
[10:08pm] Isabella: "That's probably a bit different. I mean, this is your first one, after all."
[10:08pm] Isabella: "You're how old, Yulia?"
[10:08pm] Yulia: "Recently turned seventeen."
[10:08pm] Isabella: "Seventeen." she nods. "Seventeen and no romantic relationships before then. I don't think it's really unusual for you to be nervous about it."
[10:09pm] Isabella: "What exactly makes you uncomfortable with relationship in general, though?"
[10:09pm] Yulia: "....simply having never been close to anyone."
[10:10pm] Yulia: "Well."
[10:10pm] Yulia: "Very few."
[10:10pm] Yulia: "More friends who are Pokemon than who are human."
[10:10pm] Isabella: "Okay, pretty basic then. You just need some time to try and get used to it."
[10:10pm] • Isabella looks thoughtful.
[10:11pm] Isabella: "So he just asked you out of the blue, and you accepted? Have you given any thought to your own desires? You said you don't know if it's something you'd recognize, but at the very least do you feel any different around him? If so, describe that feeling."
[10:12pm] Yulia: "Hm."
[10:12pm] Yulia: "A want to see him succeed."
[10:12pm] Yulia: "To have his desires validated."
[10:13pm] Isabella: She thinks about that a moment, nodding.
[10:13pm] Isabella: "That can definitely turn INTO romantic feelings..."
[10:13pm] Yulia: "But is not one in and of itself, then."
[10:14pm] Isabella: "Nah. From the sound of it he has a crush on you and you're just giving it a try to see if it works out. That's actually fairly normal!"
[10:14pm] Yulia: "Is it?"
[10:15pm] Isabella: "Though most people usually aren't, er, social shutins either. Damn, that sounds mean. Not sure how to put that nicely."
[10:16pm] Yulia: "...it is fine. It is difficult to assess my own situation objectively as it is."
[10:17pm] • Yulia connects a few more nodes and traces the marker over to the Dating web of nodes.
[10:18pm] Isabella: "Yeah, but I could have worded that better..." she shakes her head. "Okay, so romantic feelings are similar to what you described, but generally... stronger. You want to do what's in your power to help the object of your affections. That feeling usually grows stronger and stronger over time, where you feel a metaphorical attachment to your significant other. There's also usually an
[10:18pm] Isabella: occasional desire for physical intimacy."
[10:19pm] Yulia: "Intimacy? Elaborate."
[10:21pm] Isabella: "Well, it can be as simple as a touch on the arm, or cuddling, or kissing, up to and almost always culminating eventually in sex. There are also various comfort levels associated with being intimate, and you should never try something you're not ready for, especially not sex. That might happen up to several months after starting dating that you might try sex. The other things I mentioned
[10:21pm] Isabella: might happen within the first month of." she wags her finger, speaking about this so casually. "This is a big thing, to judge what you and your partner are ready for."
[10:22pm] Yulia: "Mmmm."
[10:22pm] Yulia: "And dating...."
[10:22pm] Isabella: "Speaking of which, don't watch porn for sex tips." she scratches her head a bit awkwardly.
[10:22pm] Yulia: "Did not even register on my research list."
[10:24pm] Isabella: "Okay, good. Now, dating? Yeah, that's a thing. Occasionally going out to places the two of you might enjoy, just to spend some time together doing things you like. It might be going out to eat somewhere nice, or going to watch a movie together, or visiting a theme park... A trip to the library or something usually means you'll end up reading different things, so that's likely a no-no.
[10:24pm] Isabella: Don't go anywhere that'll divide your attention too much, unless it's like, one of you goes on stage at the karaoke and the other watches."
[10:24pm] Isabella: "Dating is all about 'being together'."
[10:25pm] Yulia: "Or loosely defined as a way for both to bring some of their better qualities to light."
[10:25pm] Isabella: "That's a good way of putting it."
[10:26pm] Isabella: "Inviting people along on your dates is also generally a bad thing, unless the people you invite are also a couple, and are good friends."
[10:26pm] Yulia: "Again, an analysis of one's self will make this more difficult...."
[10:27pm] Yulia: "Identifying one's own positive qualities is difficult."
[10:27pm] Isabella: She thinks hard. "Hmm, do I even need to mention this...? Being in a romantic relationship with multiple people is generally a very, very bad thing unless both you and all of your partners are okay with polyamory."
[10:28pm] Isabella: "If you don't know, better just to not bring it up at all."
[10:29pm] Yulia: "Noted."
[10:30pm] Yulia: "What do you believe my positive qualities are?"
[10:31pm] Isabella: "Well, you're smart, and you're physically attractive. I like your fashion sense, too, you know, that hat and cloak  you like?"
[10:31pm] Isabella: "I think your inquisitive nature is also a good thing."
[10:31pm] Yulia: "It is just a mark of the family."
[10:32pm] Isabella: "You're also fairly worldly."
[10:32pm] Isabella: "I remember the first time I met you, you ordered a Korean dish."
[10:33pm] Yulia: "That was one benefit of living at home. Variety of foods."
[10:34pm] • Isabella nods.
[10:35pm] Yulia: "...and the negative?"
[10:39pm] Isabella: "Let's see. You're bad at reacting to usual social cues, I think. You're also assertive, but in ways that can make people feel uncomfortable. And not overly friendly...  You're not really a people person I think, is what I'm trying to say. I hardly ever see you outside of here, and when you are you don't seem overly comfortable. ...Eh, other than that I'd say I haven't known you long
[10:39pm] Isabella: enough for a really in-depth critical analysis. Everyone's got problems and they're rarely just as simple as 'not a people person'."
[10:40pm] Yulia: "Hmm."
[10:40pm] Yulia: "What do you think about Willow?"
[10:40pm] Yulia: "Do you think he is a good match?"
[10:42pm] castfromhp left the chat room. (Ping timeout)
[10:42pm] Isabella: "He's a nice boy. A bit idealistic I think, but he has a good bit of ambition hidden deep down. His self-confidence needs boosting but it might also get out of hand if it's too much, after trying my hand sparring against him. If he doesn't come off too strongly at first I think the two of you might get along."
[10:43pm] Isabella: "The thing about the two of you is that I think to be successful it'll need to be a gradual process."
[10:43pm] zoofman: An orange slice from the fruit bowl floats up and over to the chart, and then a bite appears in it.
[10:43pm] zoofman: "He has a cute butt."
[10:43pm] zoofman is now known as Beato.
[10:44pm] • Isabella glances over. "Buh?"
[10:45pm] • Yulia flips the board over to an empty side, noting the idealism and "attractive gluteal area."
[10:45pm] • Beato turns around and finishes off the orange. "Afternoon. I snuck in hoping for snacks, but zis seemed interesting."
[10:46pm] Isabella: "Oh, hey Beatrice. Since when could you turn invisible...?"
[10:46pm] Yulia: Nicodemus seems mildly surprised at the new presence in the room, but gives a gentlmanly shrug and offers Beats snacks, tea, and a towel.
[10:46pm] Beato: "Euuuh..."
[10:47pm] Yulia: "....previous goings leads me to believe I should de-emphasize formality."
[10:47pm] Beato: "...Not sure really." She hovers over another orange slice.
[10:47pm] Yulia: "This will be difficult."
[10:47pm] Isabella: "Hey, like I said, gradual process."
[10:47pm] Yulia: "What should I do about this 'cute butt' of his?"
[10:47pm] • Beato looks back over to the board. "Is zis what it I believe it is."
[10:48pm] Yulia: "Perhaps this should bel inked back to the physical intimacy portion of the graph...."
[10:48pm] Isabella: "Grab-ass is generally reserved for the later stages of intimate comfortability." she says a bit dryly.
[10:49pm] castfromhp joined the chat room.
[10:49pm] Isabella: "Yeah, Bea, Yulia is going out with Willow now and just wanted some advice."
[10:49pm] Isabella: "I'm helping. I... think."
[10:49pm] • Yulia dwells on this for a moment, and links "attractive gluteal area" further down the "physical intimacy" chain.
[10:49pm] Beato: "Admire it? It's not like it is a possession or - oh, well, euhm."
[10:49pm] • Isabella laughs
[10:50pm] Isabella: "Awkwaaard."
[10:50pm] Isabella: "But you know? I thought there was something between you and Siegfried?" she asks Beatrice. "Did that not work out?"
[10:51pm] Isabella: (Er)
[10:51pm] Isabella: *Sieghart
[10:51pm] • Beato flops on the bed.
[10:51pm] Beato: (NO IT'S AN ERRANT KNIGHT.)
[10:51pm] Yulia: Ephraim is launched into the air slightly when Beatrice lands on the bed.
[10:51pm] Yulia: 1d100 random Ephraimroll
[10:51pm] DiceMaid-9001: Yulia, random Ephraimroll: 35 [1d100=35]
[10:51pm] • Isabella snacks on more cookies
[10:53pm] • Beato coughs at the awkwardness of matters. "I only spoke honestly. As a, well..euh - huh? Well, yes, Bella. Not sure what ze last part implies..."
[10:54pm] Isabella: "Oh, uh, nevermind I suppose."
[10:54pm] Yulia: "Any other advice?"
[10:54pm] • Beato stares over the chart some.
[10:54pm] Beato: "Why ze question marks between sex and babies?"
[10:55pm] Yulia: "Largely irrelevant now, I believe."
[10:55pm] Isabella: "Hm... well, be honest with him, is a good one. Honesty can lead to arguments sometimes but rarely as much as dishonesty does."
[10:55pm] • Yulia erases the link from ??? to "Makes babies".
[10:56pm] Isabella: "Believe me, the last thing you want someone you're going out with is to find out you're lying to them about something."
[10:56pm] Isabella: "I've watched enough soap operas to know this shit."
[10:57pm] • Beato nods in agreement about that with a stifled giggle.
[10:57pm] Yulia: "Are soap operas acceptable research material, then?"
[10:57pm] Isabella: "Not in general, no, but some subjects they tend to nail on the head."
[10:58pm] Isabella: "If you do watch them, take it with a grain of salt."
[10:58pm] Beato: "Why even bother, zough? To mimic what you see? Zat, well...seems to defeat ze point to me."
[11:00pm] Beato: "Seems funner to me to fumble into matters together."
[11:00pm] Isabella: "Ehh..." she thinks about that for a bit.
[11:01pm] Yulia: "...so the research doesn't matter?"
[11:02pm] Isabella: "I think what Beatrice means is that field testing is needed." she says, still really dry.
[11:02pm] Isabella: "Trying what feels natural is also important." she says, considering.
[11:03pm] Beato: "Euh? Well, not ze intent, but I suppose it is just a chemistry experiment of sorts..."
[11:04pm] Isabella: "Well, I get what you're saying, I was just trying to make a joke." she slumps a bit.
[11:04pm] Beato: "But works of fiction and entertainment are fantasies, ze most ideal situation. Not...well..."
[11:04pm] Yulia: "Hm."
[11:04pm] Yulia: "Well, certianly, field testing is useful."
[11:04pm] Yulia: "It is just....difficult to think through this."
[11:05pm] Yulia: "Analysis crumbles. Research proves too narrow or abstract."
[11:05pm] Yulia: "My usual methods are useless here."
[11:05pm] Yulia: "I feel as if I am flailing just above the surface."
[11:06pm] Isabella: "I doubt he's considerably more confident. Why don't you invite him out somewhere?"
[11:08pm] • Beato gets up and walks over to the board, reading it closer. "It's funny because ze fact you would make zis is probably part of what he found alluring."
[11:08pm] Isabella: "You're using the swimming metaphor, you know there's only so much you can learn from watching others swim instead of just trying it yourself."
[11:08pm] Isabella: "Huh, really?"
[11:08pm] Isabella: "You think so?" she says at Beato.
[11:08pm] Beato: (What's the silliest most outlandish thing on this board anyway?)
[11:09pm] Beato: "Well, I could be wrong but Willow strikes me as being similar to Sieghart in terms of being very..."
[11:10pm] Beato: "...in need of direction." points at silly flowchart
[11:11pm] Yulia: ( The sex bit was really it. The most outlandish that's crossed out is probably Nicodemus's suggestion about offering severed heads when courting.)
[11:11pm] Isabella: "Thing is, when he gets direction, he shoots off like a rocket."
[11:11pm] Isabella: "I learned this the hard way when I sparred with him."
[11:12pm] DiceMaid-9001 is now known as HigginsvonHiggins.
[11:12pm] HigginsvonHiggins is now known as DiceMaid-9001.
[11:13pm] Beato: "I may be misinterpreting ze meaning of ze marks but did your mother never tell you of ze pidgies and ze beedrills?"
[11:13pm] Yulia: "She did by referring me to a book on the matter."
[11:14pm] Yulia: "I read it within the day."
[11:14pm] • Beato seems to have a terribly different interpretation of that and giggles uncontrolably for a bit.
[11:15pm] Isabella: "A.. book?"
[11:16pm] Beato: (pls be 50 shades of grey)
[11:17pm] Yulia: "A textbook that explains the biology of reproduction and human sexuality. The exact title and author escapes me at the moment."
[11:18pm] • Beato slowly stops laughing. "Oh. Not something entirely lewd, zen..."
[11:19pm] Isabella: Isabella: "Ohhh."
[11:19pm] Isabella: (Derp, why did I type her name)
[11:19pm] Yulia: "Reading something else for the educational value would probably be frowned upon by the greater Sunleng household, but my mother in particular would not approve."
[11:19pm] Isabella: "Well, that's... an interesting parenting technique."
[11:20pm] Beato: "...Zen...euhm...what's IS ze...confusion?"
[11:20pm] Isabella: "Yeah, it's just... Tab A and Slot B, or Slot B and Slot B, or Tab A and Slot C."
[11:21pm] Isabella: "It's... not that hard is it?" she tilts her head.
[11:21pm] Beato: "Not zat I have much to offer. Siggy and I haven't even kissed yet," by this point she's basically just stolen the whole fruit bowel.
[11:22pm] Isabella: "How are things going with him, anyway?" she says, taking the cookies for herself.
[11:22pm] • Yulia takes a seat and is largely content with tending to her tea.
[11:25pm] Beato: "It's...euhm...complicated. Somedays he has a lot of drive and others he's spineless. Doesn't do much other zan homework or studying unless I pester him."
[11:27pm] Beato: "And ever since he made a pact with Giratina some matters will probably be more complicated on a family scale. Mine's expectations versus his. Let alone ze fact his grandfather seems to detest me."
[11:28pm] Beato: "And you are entirely dodging ze question." She pinches Yulia's cheeks.
[11:31pm] Yulia: "Pardon?"
[11:31pm] Isabella: "I seeee..."
[11:32pm] Isabella: (When Beato asked what the ??? near sex were about)
[11:32pm] Isabella: ("What is ze confusion?")
[11:32pm] Yulia: "It is simply a matter of where and when it is appropriate."
[11:32pm] Yulia: "That's all."
[11:32pm] Yulia: "A concern regarding moving too far, or too fast."
[11:35pm] Beato: "Heh."
[11:35pm] Isabella: "To be honest, there is no too far or too fast, only what both people are comfortable with. My advice earlier was just uh, the norm I guess? Some people like to wait until marriage, even."
[11:36pm] castfromphone_ joined the chat room.
[11:37pm] Isabella: "Willow seems to me like the waiting type."
[11:37pm] Isabella: "Judging what the other person finds comfortable? Well, that's the fun part, isn't it?"
[11:37pm] castfromhp left the chat room. (Ping timeout)
[11:38pm] • Beato shrugs. "I'd prefer if Sieghart were more comfortable being intimate but zat isn't very likely to happen. Zough, oui, doubt it will be a point of contention for you."
[11:41pm] Yulia: "...I do believe I have enough data to try something."
[11:41pm] Yulia: "It is a matter of arranging the first date based on mutual comfort and interests."
[11:41pm] Isabella: "As long as he's treating you right." she says to Bea. "I don't want to be too nosy but you ARE my best friend."
[11:41pm] Isabella: "Oh?"
[11:44pm] Yulia: "Any suggestions?"
[11:44pm] • Isabella thiiiinks...
[11:45pm] Beato: "Euh, it's hard to guage if it's me he likes or just my acceptance of him, not sure how to test it..."
[11:46pm] Beato: back to Yulia. "You could drag him shopping for clothes. He seemed interested in zose costumes for some reason or another."
[11:47pm] Isabella: "Well, what are YOUR interests first off, Yulia?"
[11:48pm] Yulia: "Academia. Cognitive science. Philosophy of mysticism. Abstract algebra..."
[11:48pm] Yulia: "...perhaps this is not what you meant."
[11:48pm] Beato: "..."
[11:51pm] Isabella: "Uhhh not so much."
[11:52pm] Isabella: "What activities do you like to do?"
[11:53pm] Yulia: "Just talking to people is fine. Learning what makes them tick."
[11:53pm] Asfrior joined the chat room.
[11:53pm] Yulia: "I read."
[11:53pm] Aori_Radidjiu left the chat room. (NickServ (GHOST command used by Asfrior))
[11:53pm] Asfrior is now known as Aori_Radidjiu.
[11:53pm] Yulia: "Occasionally hike as an excuse to find puzzles to solve."
[11:54pm] Isabella: "Hiking doesn't sound too bad, but maybe too much excursion for a first date?"
[11:54pm] Isabella: "Bea's idea wasn't so bad I suppose..."
[11:55pm] Yulia: "Finding Pokemon themed formal clothing may be difficult."
[11:56pm] Isabella: "Well, there's sure to be a hobby shop out there that sells materials or things that can be converted... Do be sure to talk to him, though, whatever you do. Swap stories, maybe? Just don't... analyze him with your questions, if that makes sense."
[11:58pm] Yulia: "I suppose."
[11:58pm] Isabella: "You should take time to get to know each other better."
[11:58pm] Isabella: "And just... see how it rolls from there?"
[11:59pm] Beato: "I am sure zere are ways you could also engineer situations where ze two of you are isolated together for extended periods of time."
[12:00am] Yulia: "Perhaps just meet in the cafe?"
[12:01am] Yulia: "Or....I simply will be nonspecific and dress in a manner that is neither too formal nor too casual."
[12:01am] Yulia: "Just tell him to dress how he normally would for a first date...."
[12:01am] Yulia: "And let the reaction and his preparation dictate the next course of action."
[12:02am] Beato: "Just leave ze hat and cloak at home and hike your skirt up some."
[12:02am] • Isabella laughs
[12:04am] Yulia: "...why?"
[12:04am] Yulia: It'd probably be no use. Maybe the thigh-high socks would be appealing, but she's got bike shorts on.
[12:05am] Beato: "Boys like zat...well..euhm..."
[12:05am] Beato: "...Nevermind."
[12:05am] Isabella: "Showing more leg can be attractive! Though it depends on the guy, really..."
[12:06am] Isabella: "Just wear whatever and go with your idea. The cafe is great."
[12:07am] Yulia: "Very well. I will see what I can do."
[12:07am] Yulia: Nicodemus gather up any emptied bowls and plates.
[12:07am] Isabella: "Thanks, Nico~"
[12:08am] Yulia: The Scizor nods.
[12:09am] Isabella: "So yeah, good luck to you, Yulia!"
[12:09am] Yulia: "Appreciated."
[12:11am] • Isabella can't help but wonder if Yulia is happy with Willow's interest, but she holds her tongue, hoping for the best. "So, what now?"
[12:11am] Beato: "Just remember when matters do come to it, however..."
[12:12am] Beato: She turns to the whiteboard, erases the ???, grabs a marker and writes 'contraception.' <:3c
[12:13am] Yulia: "...."
[12:13am] Yulia: "Very well."
[12:14am] Beato: "And...euhm...well..."
[12:14am] Isabella: "Oh, yeah. Important."
[12:16am] Beato: "Ze comment about his butt never happened." *POOF*
[12:16am] • Isabella snickers
[12:16am] Beato: She fades from view and after a few seconds the door out opens/closes.
[12:16am] Beato is now known as zoofman.
[12:16am] Isabella: "Tooo laaaate." she calls teasingly out behind her.
[12:17am] Isabella: "I think I'll get going as well, Yulia. Unless you had something else to ask?"
[12:18am] Yulia: "Not at the moment. I need time to mull over all of this."
[12:18am] Yulia: "When more questions arise, I will let you know."
[12:18am] Isabella: "Sure thing!"
[12:18am] • Isabella gets up, heading for the door, and waves. "It was cool hanging out. Lemme know how it goes!"
[12:18am] Yulia: "Will do."
[12:19am] • Isabella lets herself out quietly.
