Day 218 [Open]

[dontyoujustwish]

Who: Anya and anyone
Open: Open!
When: 218, throughout the day
Where: All over the Bastion
What: Unsolicited sex-ed
Format: I'll match
Warnings: Anya has no filters.

Anya does not normally spend much time on the Skyway, but anyone might have noticed she's been going out more than usual over the past week. Sometimes alone, sometimes dragging certain Nobodies along because it is in their best interest.

The goal of all this? Safety and education. She is being awfully generous and using the resulting shards to buy a large quantity of condoms. Not just for herself, but for the Bastion's population of should-be-hormonal teenagers and the like.

If you look like you've been through puberty, Anya is liable to approach you. She's not going door-to-door or anything (she doesn't care that much), but if she sees you around the Bastion, better be prepared for a probably awkward conversation.

If you plan on being together forever or whatever nonsense has been going through your heads, then I expect you will be. And probably sooner rather than later.

...

[ Shing goes completely silent as his face reddens - well, he really can't deny that, but honestly? Considering he's still getting used to things here doing that with Kohaku was the farthest thing from his mind. Until this conversation...

Honestly, he just came out to train and he's feeling so attacked right now... ]

Even if that were true, well... sex is... kinda the last thing we're thinking about here... is this really necessary?

[dontyoujustwish]

Yes. It's called being prepared.

[oursomalink]

[ Sounds like something his grandpa would say, Anya. Seriously.

As embarrassed as he is, though, he does accept the condoms, even as he's fighting down the urge to put a hand to his face in complete exasperation. Man, it is going to be awkward facing Kohaku later... what's he supposed to do with these? ]

Uh... thanks, I guess? I... don't know when we'll use them, but...

[ He can't even finish the sentence. It's too much for him right now. ]

[dontyoujustwish]

[She would not appreciate being compared to your grandfather as he is both old and a man. Please keep that to yourself.]

But now you'll have them when you need them. You're welcome.

[Let her finish it for you. It's not that hard.]

[oursomalink]

Yeah, that. That... exactly...

[ Why do you do this, Anya. Why. ]

... man, it's going to be awkward if Kohaku finds these... she'd probably think I was some kind of pervert.

[dontyoujustwish]

[Because she is a more perfect being than you can comprehend.]

Don't worry. If I run into her, I'll talk to her, too.

[oursomalink]

... sure... I guess?

[ What is even going on anymore?!?! ]

Uh... just be careful if you do? If she gets as embarrassed as I did about this... talk about... sex... she might kick you out of reflex or something...

[ Because Shing feels like she's going to need to know if this happens.

Hopefully it doesn't, though, because then that would just be awkward all around. Seriously, what is this turning into... ]

[dontyoujustwish]

Why is that? Another girl already threatened to punch me.

[oursomalink]

Well, to be fair, sex isn't usually something that you talk about so openly... that, and Kohaku usually doesn't kick people at all unless the person in question does something stupid, like I'm sometimes prone to doing...

[ Her kicks hurt, okay? He knows from experience. ]

... that said, punching someone over this is a little extreme, isn't it?

[dontyoujustwish]

Of course it is.

But why don't you talk about it? Who tells you that you shouldn't?

[oursomalink]

It's not any one person in particular that tells us not to talk about it...

[ Shing frowns, closing his eyes in thought. ]

I think it's more the fact that thanks to the Calamity that brought us all here, sex is kind of the furthest thing from anyone's mind right now. You know, trying to survive and all.

[dontyoujustwish]

That doesn't make any sense. When you're living day-to-day concerned about your own survival, you should want to do things that remind you that you're alive. Like sex. It should be on more minds than mine right now.

[oursomalink]

... huh. I... actually never really thought of it that way...

[ SHING NO but seriously, outside of the whole sex bit she does have a point. ]

To exist, or to live... that's really a good point to keep in mind, especially in this place.

[dontyoujustwish]

Yes. [It is a good point because she made it.] And when you have that in mind, remember the condoms.

[oursomalink]

Okay, okay! I'll make sure to! Promise.

[ Man, this entire encounter. What is his life, even. ]

I can't guarantee we'll end up using them right away, but we'll use them when we get to that point...

[dontyoujustwish]

Good. That's exactly why I'm giving them to you.

[oursomalink]

And I really do appreciate it.

... thanks.

[ And Shing's just going to give her a lopsided, slightly awkward smile because there's really no other way to respond at this point. ]

[dontyoujustwish]

[Well, that's a more sincere expression of gratitude. Anya appreciates it. Maybe this boy is not completely stupid.]

You're welcome.

[oursomalink]

Mm-hmm... I hope the rest of your, ah, endeavors go well!

[ As awkward as the presentation was, Shing can't really fault Anya for trying to be helpful in her own way...

Either way, at this point he's going to give her a nod of gratitude - a sincere one, mind you - before he heads back inside to train. And try not to have erotic images of Kohaku in his mind's eye while doing so. Somehow. ]
