WEEK 8
[When you wake up, there's a text message in all of your inboxes, warning about how stressful exams week can be. The email comes replete with names of study sessions, tutoring hours, and free pizza on other parts of the campus. And it encourages you to check online for the exam schedule based on your class and section number.
There's also a note that there will be weekly stress puppy pop ups to help you relax? So that's nice and thoughtful! But ultimately, at Fayflower, they just want to make sure everyone has what they need to do well on their exams.
What a nice email.
But things have obviously deteriorated around you, with the wall looking visibly... damaged? If you get close, it's extremely easy to lose track of yourself... and you might come away with a few bruises you didn't know you got. Who knows. Maybe Terra?
Happy final week.]

I see.
I'll try to figure it out, but I'm better at giving riddles than solving them.
Speaking of!
An AI is rather like a puppet, don't you think?
Inferior to a human, yet superior all at once.
So! The question is....
...
...
...
Crumbs.
I've forgotten it...
no subject
I can only hope they will see my side of things eventually.
One murder will not make us as bad as the man who enabled numerous ones.
I'd offer to help you seek the answer, but I think this is something you can only figure out on your own.
Well...
That and I'm not sure how often we will be able to communicate after the Final Exam.
Take your time dear.
I can wait for you to remember or come up with a new one.
no subject
You've got that coming up, haven't you?
Good luck :o) <3
Don't do anything foolish, now.
How long do I have?
Isn't it past your bedtime?
no subject
Thank you. <3
I'll try.
I don't have a set bedtime.
I usually fall asleep from passing out or sometime past midnight.
The only times I bother to try sleeping in 8 hour periods is when I have something important the next day.
Which... means I've admittedly gotten more sleep than usual here.
So.
Um.
I can stay as long as needed.
We'll likely have a meeting tomorrow, but you are far more important right now.
no subject
Do AIs need to sleep?
I've just done it out of habit...
So I could probably go all night!
Like another sleepover!!!!
no subject
It most certainly isn't... but I get so much more work done this way.
I don't know.
That's something you should ask Yoosung or Vivi about.
But, ah... I'd like that.
I hope we get to have an actual sleepover again.
[There's a large pause before more text appears. Poe is blushing as he slowly types it... but while it's embaressing to suggest it... he... likes the idea. It... could be nice.]
You.... wouldn't have to sleep on the floor this time either.
We could share the bed.
If.
Um.
You're comfortable with that.
[He can't believe he's the one bringing up cuddling first. Then again... it's far easier to be braver over text than face to face.]
no subject
tonight
I'm all yours ;o)
So forward!!!!! <3 <3
I'd like that :o)
no subject
Good.
I don't like sharing.
It's... easier to be forward over text.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear that.
I'm not usually one for physical contact with others...
But it's nice with you.
So... I want to experiment with more types of physical contact with you.
Just... I'm willing to try whatever types you're okay with.
[It'd be embarrassing to cuddle or hug or kiss or whatever in public... but he wants to try and get used to those things. Or... at least be able to do them in private.]
no subject
Am I really that special??
It looks nice on you.
Being held by you was new
But good
But brief
So......experiment away Detective ;o)
no subject
You are. <3
Thank you.
Alright.
Um.
So...
Is there anything you would be interested in too?
Any boundaries I should be aware of?
I.
Um.
Think I will be okay with and be able to adapt to most things with you.
Just... as long as it makes you happy and feel good.
[He'll be embarrassed at first... but he can adapt. Making Nikolai happy and exploring these fuzzy warm feelings with him is Poe's main priority right now.]
no subject
Hmmmmmmm...boundaries...
Being reminded of corporeality? Hahahahahaha
....
.......that was a joke!!!!!!!
[Maybe]
no subject
Me?
Special?
I'm flattered. <3
I know it wasn't completely.
So...
Is there anything I can do to avoid reminding you?
Or do to make it more bearable?
Although...
I suppose you are technically not corporeal anymore.
no subject
Awwww you saw right through me....
You're too good at this :o(
I suppose that's something we could just work out...
But I might as well be!!
Otherwise Rebecca's books wouldn't hurt so much!!!!!!!!
no subject
<3
I'm a detective and more importantly devoted to understanding you.
You can't fool me dear. <3
Right....
There are benefits to a corporeal form though...
Would exploring those benefits help make tolerating it more bearable?
Ah, so Rebecca is still battering you with books then?
Tell her hello for me and that I would be grateful is she could be a bit more careful with my beloved boyfriend.
no subject
You're speaking so formally
Haha
It's cute!!
A 'benefit' would be being able to hold you
I think that would be worth it ;o)
Not so much anymore.
I think I'm on a probationary period.
Hahaha! Good idea!
I can't wait to see her face when I tell her you're dating ME!!
no subject
Ah...
Thank you.
I'd consider being able to hold you a benefit too.
I'm glad to hear that.
If you do tell her... I expect a full report on her and other people's reactions.
Alright?
[He can deal with the embarrassment if he gets some amusement out of it all.]
no subject
Some things can NOT be captured by words!!
no subject
That would be amazing!
I mean....
you are right when you say that.
Although really, you should just record everyone's reactions.
I... can't say I look forward to Waver's....
But he should have one that amuses you at the very least.
[He can't be that embarrassed if he's not there. And hey, maybe this news would prompt them to try and talk to him. That would be nice.]
no subject
It'll be HILARIOUS!!!!
I just need to keep him still enough to tell him!!
no subject
I do hope you don't scare him too badly.
Perhaps you could just gather everyone in one space and get all their reactions at once?
Avoiding a group meeting is far more difficult than avoiding you.
no subject
Maybe
But people react differently in a group than on their own, you know?
no subject
I know.
But I trust you to be able to find him eventually.
It's you after all.
<3
