"You can probably grow new skin anyway," he says, still in a daze.

Permalink

"Probably. Come on, let's get you set up." Ari picks up the bags and tugs Eric to one of the bedrooms.

Permalink

He continues to be dazzled by everything when he sees one of the bedrooms. "I'm gonna sleep here?" he confirms.

Permalink

"Yeah. I can leave you to get set up, or I can help unpack, or..."

Permalink

"You're a big, strong, manly man, and you got me into this in the first place. You're unpacking, and I'm watching and enjoying the view."

Permalink

"Yessir."

Ari proceeds to unpack and set up the room.

He's still naked, of course. That never stopped being a thing, or anything.

Permalink

Yes, Eric has been constantly aware of how Ari has not put on a single item of clothing yet, and this is part of what he's going for. Sex got them into this mess, but hey, hot naked giant performing physical labor in front of him, he has to appreciate it.

When Ari's done unpacking, he kneels at Eric's feet.

"I want to make you happy. And I want to make this up to you. So... if there's anything you want me to do for you, you can tell me now."

Permalink

 

 

 

He folds his arms. "You're too unfairly attractive."

Permalink

Ari laughs. "I can't do anything about that, I'm afraid. That's part of the package."

Permalink

"Well, I don't know what I want. I, I got fired, and I moved into your place, and now you're kneeling in front of me being all cute and hot and, and naked, and I don't know what's next." 

Quest available: I Don't Know What I Want

Eric is clearly in a spot. Not that he had much in the way of ambitions and a long-term career planned ahead of him, but what little stability in his life he did have has been taken away, and he's suffering for it. Find a way to make it up to him.

Success: +2,500xp, increased relations with Eric Jones
Failure: +7,500xp, greatly increased relations with Eric Jones, start 'Onwards And Upwards' quest chain
Accept: Y/N

Ari accepts the quest, wondering what it's about.

Then he says, "Um, I don't know if this helps any, but the game just gave me a quest to help you out. It says to 'find a way to make it up to him', but it gives a higher reward for failure than for success. So... I'm gonna work on that, okay? Trying to figure out a way to help you out, and figuring out what it means about success and failure."

He raises his eyebrows. "I don't know how to feel about that."

Permalink

"I don't either," Ari admits. "It said something about wanting stability? So maybe I should be finding you a better job? But maybe you don't want another job so soon? And I don't even know what you'd want. I just know I love you and want you to be happy."

Permalink

"You said that before. That you love me."

Permalink

"Yeah. I do."

Permalink

"Why? How? Since when?"

Permalink

"Um. Sally says I fall in love easy. I just... you're really nice, and cute, and I want you to be happy, and I want to be with you as long as you'll have me, and I think that's love."

Permalink

"But why? I'm just a failed English major who worked as a receptionist for a fancy apartment building and then got fired for fucking at work."

Permalink

"And I'm a homeschooled orphan who has never had a real job in his life. It takes all kinds, Mr. Jones."

Permalink

"You must've done something right," he says, gesturing around.

Permalink

"Yeah, I got lucky as hell. Doesn't mean I'm better than you. And hey, you live here now too."

Permalink

"...guess I'm lucky too. What did your luck look like? I think I don't know you at all, Mr. Kaltmann."

Quest available: I Don't Know You At All, Mr. Kaltmann

You just realize you don't actually know Eric that well, nor vice-versa. There is, however, a time-honored way to fix this. Take Eric on a date.

Success: +500xp, increased relations with Eric Jones
Failure: Decreased relations with Eric Jones, 'Too Slutty To Date' status for 1 week
Accept: Y/N

Permalink

"...We could discuss this over breakfast," Ari suggests. "It strikes me that I maybe haven't eaten in a while. We could make a date of it, even."

Permalink

"And, let me guess, you're gonna go in naked, and nothing bad's gonna happen because of it."
