==> VC: consume provisions
With gusto!
You take a bite out of your sandwich and crack open your INVIGORATING REFRESHMENT. You drink with RELISH. Man you sure do love a NICE SANDWICH and a COOL DRINK in a WARM GROVE. The addition of an EXCELLENT FRIEND who is also a PRETTY GIRL certainly does add a NEW AND INTERESTING level to the arrangement.
You decide you like it quite a bit.
[/center] VENN: well !'m pretty glad ! met you too!
VENN: ! mean ! obv!ously have less exper!ence w!th the woes of the !mmortals
VENN: but !t can get lonely on the !sland
VENN: ! SURE DO LOVE MAK!NG FR!ENDS
VENN: are you sure you want me to ask quest!ons though?
VENN: ! mean ! wouldn't want to ABUSE YOUR SPEC!AL PROWESS OR ANYTH!NG
VENN: as far as !'m concerned, we're st!ll best buds and everyth!ng
VENN: ONE OF US JUST SO HAPPENS TO HAVE THE POWER TO CRUSH THE WORLD !N THE PALM OF HER HAND
VENN: though ! really can't !mag!ne you do!ng that
VENN: hoo boy ! guess we're all pretty lucky that you're a pretty n!ce god!
VENN: and honestly ! th!nk ! k!nda l!ke the mystery
VENN: not to ment!on you could probably one-up my many years of debunk!ng w!th a s!ngle herp and blessed derp
VENN: wh!ch, wh!le certa!nly !nformat!ve
VENN: would feel k!nda l!ke cheat!ng
VENN: GOTTA DO TH!NGS ON MY OWN POWER
VENN: !f you know what ! mean
VENN: not that ! don't apprec!ate the offer or anyth!ng l!ke that
VENN: honestly !'m just exc!ted that you're here!
VENN: ! mean !t's pretty surpr!s!ng but MAN !S !T EVER AWESOME
VENN: th!s !s probably the coolest th!ng ever

==> Cory: Be hungry.
You wash down the last bite of your sandwich with some soda. It is the second-best thing you've tasted today.
You lean against Venn, resting your head on his shoulder. You take his hand in yours again, lacing your fingers together.
[/center] you're, uh, a really good, person, venn
don't, ah, ever change that?

==> VC: don't ever change
Doing so CERTAINLY IS NOT WITHIN YOUR PLANBOOK. YOUR ACTIVITY LOG. YOUR SENIOR CRYPTOZOOLOGIST'S HANDY GUIDE TO JUNGLE TOURING.
You smile when Cory takes your hand. It feels PRETTY NICE, UTTERLY IRRESPECTIVE OF SCIENCE AND CRYPTOZOOLOGY AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF. Being with someone you care about is just great. You take a sip of your drink.
[/center] VENN: haha you got !t cory!
VENN: and JUST FOR THE RECORD
VENN: you're a pretty fantast!c person too!
VENN: !N FACT YOU ARE ONE OF MY VERY MOST FAVOR!TES
VENN: even MORE fantast!c because you can just v!s!t here whenever you want!
VENN: ! mean not that all of a sudden !'m l!ke 'herp derp cory !s god that totally changes everyth!ng about how ! see her'
VENN: BECAUSE !T REALLY DOESN'T HONESTLY, AS!DE FROM SOMET!MES TH!NK!NG !'M JUST STAT!NG THE OBV!OUS TO A SUPER!OR M!ND
VENN: but !t !s pretty awesome that we can be close to one another, y'know?
VENN: so that rather than dorky emot!cons we can see one another's face and whatnot!
VENN: !t's pretty great

==> Cory: Agree.
You nod in agreement and finish the rest of your drink in a single swig. The can vanishes with a crackle of green energy.
[/center] it, uh, really is,
and, um, i hope that,
ah
even if, i know what you're, uh, about to say,
uh
you'll never, be discouraged from, uh, saying it?
or, um, generally, talking as freely, as you are now

==> VC: speak freely
HOO BOY you sure do make a habit of that. You watch with some fascination as Cory DISAPPEARIFIES A CAN AS THOUGH IT WEREN'T NOTHIN', trying as hard as you can to catalogue all the phenomena surrounding the act as you can in your BRAINPLACE. Little bursts of green energy. Sudden absolute disappearance. Really not many more OBSERVABLE PHENOMENA.
You SMILE LIKE A BIG DUMB IDIOT.
[/center] VENN: WOAH MAN CORY
VENN: THAT WAS
VENN: PRETTY NEAT
VENN: ! mean ! guess the whole teleport!ng to the !sland th!ng must've been s!m!larly amaz!ng but ! only really got second-hand knowledge of that event!
VENN: haha ! guess ! k!nda just demonstrated that MY MOUTH TRAVELS SEVERAL M!NUTES AHEAD OF MY BRA!N SOMET!MES
VENN: PART!CULARLY WHEN ! AM EXC!TED
VENN: and honestly go!ng on a P!CN!C W!TH A GREAT FR!END !S ASTON!SH!NGLY EXC!T!NG
VENN: ! k!nda w!sh ! was BETTER EQU!PPED TO ENTERTA!N FR!ENDS THOUGH
VENN: man gotta account for ALL THE ANGLES
VENN: ! should have mov!es or someth!ng around
VENN: ones that aren't all about ness!e or someth!ng
VENN: though ! guess you have seen them all, or at least ARE AWARE OF THEM ALL
VENN: HOO BOY TH!NK!NG OF ENTERTA!NMENT FOR AN ALL-KNOW!NG FR!END SURE !S A CHALLENGE
VENN: then aga!n th!s !s k!nda n!ce
VENN: just s!tt!ng here
VENN: wh!le you so grac!ously tolerate my ceaseless blabb!ng

==> Cory: Just sit there.
No. You lie back in the grass, because you're a rebel, dammit. The sky here is really pretty.
[/center] it's, uh, really okay
you, ah, don't really, need to worry
knowing, uh, isn't really, experiencing
so it, um, would be nice, seeing a movie, uh, with you, someday?
i, uh, like hearing you talk?
it, um, keeps my mind, off of everything

==> VC: finish drink
You take a PENULTIMATE SWIG.
You take ANOTHER SWIG.
==> VC: fail to disappearify the drink with your mind
Yep looks like that's not a thing you can do. Instead you put the can back in your TRUSTY CRYPTOZOOLOGIC NOURISHMENT TRANSPORATION UNIT. WOULDN'T WANT TO DIRTY UP THE JUNGLE.
It's not yours to dirty up. It occurs to you that you may be sitting next to the only person who could make a case for it being theirs.
[/center] VENN: haha well that's reassur!ng
VENN: !n that case ! th!nk ! do have a couple mov!es somewhere!
VENN: or ! could certa!nly get some for your next v!s!t or whatever
VENN: KEEP ALL THOSE PREDETERM!NED EXPER!ENCES AS !NTEREST!NG AS THEY CAN BE
VENN: !t !s also good that you l!ke hear!ng me talk
VENN: BECAUSE OH MAN WHEN !'M NOT ONL!NE !T !S WAY TOO EASY FOR ME TO JUST KEEP BLABB!NG
VENN: FLAPP!NG MY GUMS L!KE THEY'RE W!NGS AND !'M PLUMMET!NG TO THE EARTH
VENN: !'m really glad that ! know your secret!
VENN: SO NOW ! CAN MAKE A FORMAL SUGGEST!ON
VENN: that !f you ever need someone to talk to
VENN: EVER
VENN: FOR ANY REASON
VENN: feel absolutely free to just pop on by!
VENN: ! W!LL BE HERE FOR YOU
VENN: BOTH !N THE METAPHYS!CAL AND !N THE PH!L COLL!NS SENSE
VENN: =)

==> Cory: Warn him.
You can't.
You cuddle up closer to Venn as he lies down beside you, turning so that you can rest your head on his chest, putting an arm over him in a hug.
[/center] i, uh, will
uh, thank you, venn?
you're, ah, really helping

Post by venndiegram on Apr 19, 2012 13:01:51 GMT -6
==> VENN: ENJOY CUDDLES
You have NOT VERY OFTEN had this sort of close contact with someone. Particularly, as you keep reminding yourself for some reason, an ATTRACTIVE LADY.
It is really QUITE ENJOYABLE.
You just sort of lie there and look at the clouds.
It's nice. [/center] VENN: pfffblut
VENN: no need to thank me!
VENN: ! really enjoy spend!ng t!me w!th you cory!
VENN: ! am glad you're feel!ng a b!t better though!

You can hear Venn's heart beating.
[/center] i, uh, like this, too
um
uh,
have you ever, ah, been, uh, interested in anyone, romantically?

==> VC: reflabber gasts
Pfft no reason to do that. You're CHILLING OUT with an AWESOME FRIEND on a GORGEOUS DAY filled with STIMULATING CONVERSATION.
What could possibly flabber your gasts now? [/center] VENN: haha well
VENN: ! guess ! never really thought about !t all that much!
VENN: ! mean ! DEF!N!TELY SEE THE APPEAL
VENN: but ! guess ! was just always so busy w!th CRYPTOZOOLOGY AND STUFF
VENN: that ! never really thought about !t
VENN: herp now !'m just repeat!ng myself
VENN: ! guess !t would be k!nda n!ce
VENN: to have someone who was k!nda spec!al It occurs to you there there is an awesome attractive lady currently leaning on you.
You begin to consider things.

==> Cory: Remember.
You smile dreamily, thinking back. You've loved a lot of people in your life.
You will never forget them.
[/center] it, uh, really is
it's, ah, the best, feeling in the, um world

Post by venndiegram on Apr 19, 2012 17:27:27 GMT -6
==> VC: CONSIDER
It occurs to you that Cory probably has a LONG AND VARIED HISTORY to draw upon.
You find that nothing short of ABSOLUTELY AND INCREDIBLY FASCINATING. [/center] VENN: haha wow ! guess you must have exper!ence w!th !t
VENN: ! must adm!t ! feel
VENN: k!nda jealous!
VENN: !'ve never really had anyone l!ke that =/
VENN: though ! have to adm!t !'m not adverse to the !dea
VENN: though of course the relat!onsh!p would have to be MUTUAL
VENN: ! mean ! wouldn't want to just go up to someone and be all 'herp derp ! need to understand th!s human emot!on you call LOVE teach me of your ways'
VENN: !t's gotta mean someth!ng ! th!nk
VENN: gotta be someone spec!al

==> Cory: Determine fate.
You can never really stop being what you are.
[/center] what's, uh, really important,
is
uh,
that, when you do, uh, find someone, you're interested, uh, in,
that, uh
you, um, go after them
and, ah, never give up, hope

==> VC: find someone you're interested in
You think for a minute.
You realize that it's entirely possible you don't process ROMANTIC IMPULSES quite the same way most people do. It has, as you have just said, NEVER REALLY BEEN AT THE TOP OF YOUR PRIORITY LIST. However, you kind of like the idea. Someone special. You stop and think WHO IS SPECIAL TO YOU.
That list is AS LONG AS CORY'S MEMORY PRESUMABLY IS. But you single out a few PARTICULARLY BEST BUDS. Cory's name is one of them. She's lying on you right now and it feels ... well it feels pretty nice.
It's a new feeling. You kind of want it to stay. [/center] VENN: you know cory
VENN: ! TH!NK YOU M!GHT BE SPOT ON THERE
VENN: and wh!le !t may have someth!ng to do w!th the fact that you're k!nda lay!ng on me r!ght now
VENN: ! really th!nk that, object!vely, the person !'m most !nterested !n
VENN: would probably be you!
VENN: though ! totally understand that you've REALLY GOT THE HOTS FOR GWEN'S S!STER
VENN: she sounds l!ke a pretty cool person!
