[ Yesod is just... existing... Originally, it was because of the information sharing, but he's still here. ]

[transmit]

Hey, hey! You can get a little closer to everyone, you know?

[ no just existing here!! ]

I don't think anyone bites. Probably!

[penaltypoints]

[ Greetings once more. Yesod could tell Elysium that people tended to joke that he bites, but instead, he relents to move a little closer. He's trying to participate by keeping track of the conversations, at least. ]

You must be enjoying yourself.

[ Even if this is much quieter, compared to the bombastic bachelor's bash. ]

[transmit]

[ Yesod is still one of the few he's struggled to get a read on… A machine, he'd said—and yet, that's not what Elysium fixates on. Perhaps this curiosity stems from a fondness for his mechanical coworkers back at home—ones, who, despite not having cloaked or remotely humanoid bodies, were lively conversationalists and had bright personalities to call their own. Whichever happens to be the case, Elysium isn't thinking about it that deeply. ]

You could say that. But it doesn't have to be all lively all the time. Just as I want to get to know you better, I'm sure there are others that feel the same.

[ There's the implication that even this quieter, non-bombastic affair isn't so conducive to that. When Yesod opts to move in closer, Elysium elects to slide in next to him, stretching his limbs out to their full length before he settles with a contented sigh. Truthfully? He is a little tired. He's super tired. But, he is someone who has never learned and has refused to learn how to come to a complete stop unless external forces are involved, and so, here he is. ]

Is there anything you enjoy? [ a sidelong glance, ] Or do I need to go through the hoops of truth or dare with you too?

[ look, after yesod had messaged him for that one ad? he's been attached. ]

[ Their exchanges thus far haven't been unpleasant, to tell the truth, though Yesod isn't entirely sure what to make of Elysium yet, either. The man's interest in meeting and getting to know others seems genuine. Is that all there is to it? Conversations are one thing, but elaborate celebrations...

Yesod casts Elysium a matching glance in turn. He is reminded, distantly, of moments during his first life, the research team's earlier days — one of his colleagues back then was similar in demeanor. These questions feel familiar. ]

I am not incapable of enjoying the company of others.

[ And he no longer denies himself that. Still, he is aware that he has never been an especially approachable person. ]

...For instance, I appreciate a good sense of humor, as well as word games. Here, I am curious to learn about other worlds.

[ He has had enjoyable experiences since he was brought to Neo Tokyo. ]

And I am relieved... that my colleagues have the same relative freedom in this place.

[transmit]

[ It's not everyday that his overfamiliarity is met with such acceptance, often only occurring in the cases of those who were similarly extroverted as him. So, he smiles easily. And with every bit Yesod chooses to reveal about himself, it grows. ]

It's your lucky day——not only do I happen to have an extremely good sense of humour, but I also enjoy the occasional word game and am happy to share knowledge of my own world, if you care.

[ A post-apocalyptic world as it was, it didn't change that there were plenty of beautiful sights to see. ]

We can put the first two on hold. Or, there's never a time where good humour isn't appreciated so maybe not. But for the third, would you like to go on a quick tour? Between you and me, I think I've got my worth out of truth and dare and then some.

[ His eyes flash, and Yesod will get a ping in the form of a dataverse invitation. ]

[penaltypoints]

[ His lucky day, is it? In a way, it's impressive that Elysium seems unaffected by any impact of the recent "exciting adventures" followed by traveling through the desert, continuing his efforts to approach others like this even now.

Yesod's mouth twitches into a faint smile, amused, though he recalls his conversation with Gebura as they left the club. He sees no reason to decline the offer extended to him. It may answer some of his questions, by the end, and he accepts the invitation to enter Elysium's selected dataverse environment. ]

Is this tour also on the house?

[transmit]

Why not? It's the least I can do for someone who's had his faith in me all this time.

[ Is that what it is…??? Anyway.

The moment Yesod accepts his invitation, he'll find his feet submerged in water, with Elysium right next to him with a open and boundless smile. As waves roll into him, the sound of distant laughter, of gulls, and of the ocean itself might be overwhelming—the experience itself is startlingly clear and bright, both in part of Elysium's memory and the fact that his physiology benefits from heightened senses by way of sight and hearing. Down to the smell of sea salt and the feeling of a gentle breeze, it's hard to imagine this being anything but a recent memory.

Still, he'll give Yesod several moments to orient himself to this new location. However long he needs, whether it's seconds or minutes before he opens up with his pitch. ]

Welcome to Siesta! Where the weather's fair and the ocean's clear. Keep your heart open and face it with a smile, and you're guaranteed a fun time.
