Kind of forward for a first date, I know, but do any of you have access to tech that can give a guy a clean brain scan? Looking for foreign organics, not the chip.

And has anyone tested the limits of the empathy bond? If not, consider this recruitment for some extreme handholding. Also forward, but I promise I'll buy you a drink as soon as I get my allowance.

define "extreme handholding"

[stabilis]

A lot like normal handholding, except it goes on for an uncomfortably long time and we focus really hard while we're doing it. I want to figure out how intense the effects can get and if we're sharing anything other than our feelings.

[evite]

sounds like nerd talk for wanting to get handsy in the safehouse

[ she's not Judging You... just... saying!!! ]

what the hell
i'm in

[stabilis]

Respectfully handsy, thank you.

I'm Johnny, by the way. Just so you know who you're holding hands with.

[evite]

is that actually johnny or is it johnny like john doe and you're just playing up the anonymous factor?

[ she'll accept it either way, she's not that picky. she gets what it's like to have name issues. ]

[stabilis]

Well if we're talking actually, it's John Jaqobis. Why, you get a lot of fake names here?

[evite]

one guy tries to pawn himself as "matches malone", so i'll let you fill in the blanks on that one

where are you hailing from, mr jaqobis? sounds fancy

[stabilis]

Hey, Matches Malone isn't that weird. I know a guy named Fancy, coincidentally.

Also I hail from the not-so-fancy backwater of Telen. J Star cluster, which probably means absolutely nothing to you. You?

[evite]

on a scale of one to ten, my recognition is about a negative thousand
but that's also a regular tuesday around here so nbd

[ new arrivals are always a fun time. ]

i'm assuming the absolutely less fancy place called 'earth' does mean something to you, though?

[stabilis]

History was never my strong suit, but sure. I feel more than a-negative-thousand-percent sure I've heard of Earth before.

I think I'm ahead of most of you. Same-ish universe. Or parallel-ish, maybe.

[evite]

so you're from the future
very interesting

[ insert rubbing hands together evil cackling ]

tell me, does everyone from the future anonymously offer to hold hands with everyone they meet
or is that strictly a john jaqobis special?

[stabilis]

John Jaqobis special. And I don't just offer it to everyone, thank you. I have some standards.

The standard here being that you have a possibly alien substance in your chest that gives you wacky empathy powers. Obviously.

[evite]

and here i thought the future was different
turns out you're really just interested in my chest

[ MEN. ]
