"Understandable, personally I just eat the high price of streaming everything from Alexandria[1] instead of tracking down whichever specific site they're licensing from, anyway! So Origami Maria's most immediately obvious difference compared to it's predecessors was that it the artstyle was based off paper origami instead of the pure pixel of previous Maria games, however that was not the only difference as it also had the gradual acquisition of new and unique abilities that were gained while playing through the story, which were unique and had different applications in combat and exploration and opened up new areas, and often themed around the origami artstyle and were gotten through specific befriending and aquiring of party members. 

also according to a bunch of people with more refined literary taste then my "they cute girls who are totally fucking"  the characters were also deep and complex and had engaging stories, especially compared to previous games."

[1] The library of Alexandria didn't burn down in this Phee's timeline, and at some acquires the legal right to receive, copy, archive and distribute copies of all books/movies/shows, and while they do need to pay expensive license fees for distributing recently released, they're still one specific easily accessible site with every book/novel/tv show/etc saved and available.

"Aww, I bet they have the best cast of characters! It'd be cool to play them sometime. Then again I don't have any consoles and no TV, so..." She shrugs.

Permalink

Hugs?

"Yeah! I'd offer to bring over my copy but no console would get in the way of playing though... I could maybe bring you to over to my apartment earthside once you've no longer need to spend most of your time in your cavern and here and if you trust me more then?"

Permalink

"I mean, if you were okay with inviting me over to your Earth-side apartment that would be a lot better than having to spend all my time in cafes and libraries. That would be... a real help to me, to be honest."

Permalink

"I probably should've thought of that, I'd be fine with having you staying in my apartment! Though uh it's kind of a mess, and I'm stupidly OCD and bothered by attempts from others to fix that but if that wouldn't be worse then cafraries I'd be happy to have you over!"

Permalink

"Hee, Cafraries. I will try my best to not disturb your circles, wise Pythagorea." 

She pats Phee on the head. 

"Let's talk some more for now, though. So... What consoles do they have in your world?" 

Eva's willing to make small talk for a while. She's got nothing else better to do.

Permalink

"Sure!" And then will ramble on about consoles and any other topics that come to mind for however long Eva wants to talk.

Permalink

Eva, it turns out, is pretty starved for Earthly company. And hearing about another world she hasn't been to is fun. 

Also, once she gets started on a topic she has a tendency to infodump. The topic she appears to have settled on is lesbian representation in media. 

Permalink

Cute! Phee will happily snuggle and listen to the Eva infodump on lesbian representation.

Permalink

The snuggles get a small blush out of Eva and a fond look. 

"You know," she says. "If you... wanted... to have sex with me... you could just ask. Just so we're clear. I'm pretty desensitized by now after the life I've been leading and it seems pretty clear you could use it. And, like... I'm going to be shaping glass near you. It's kind of inevitable we'd end up entangled if this works out."

Permalink

Phee blushes and smiles back.

"I suppose that is inevitable if things work well, yeah."

Permalink

Emphasis on "if".

Permalink

"And I would wanna have sex with you, and will probably take you up on that and ask if we could fuck sometime! It just also feels like... like I maybe see if I can at least go a week without causing... things... before asking about sex? If that makes even a modicum of sense?"

Permalink

"Yeah, I totally understand."

Eva smiles and rests her hands in her lap. 

"In that case I won't sculpt glass right now, just for your comfort in the settling in period. And we can figure more things out once it's been a few weeks, yeah."

Permalink

Smile back.

"Thanks for understanding! You're very nice and good."

Permalink

"It's no trouble. I'm going to read, then. I'll be okay till nightfall. You can hang around or not, it's up to you."

Permalink

Phee nods. “Okay! I think I’ll just hang around and read something too!”

And then she has a look at the novel Eva passed her earlier.

Permalink

Eva passes her a different book. "Actually have a look at this one, it has more lesbians. I've been writing what sells, not what I personally like." 

It appears to be a story about the training and education of a female courtesan. 

Permalink

"Thanks! And tis unfortunate that what you'd like isn't also what would sell."

Phee is gonna hug Eva again unless she's seems opposed, and then she'll happily about gay courtesan training.

Permalink

Eva hugs back, and goes back to playing puzzles on her phone.

Permalink

The sun slips lower and lower in the sky.

Permalink

And will sit companionably nearby and reading until she's notices things getting darker and that it's almost sundown.

"I should probably get going and head back to Earth now unless you'd be fine with me staying the night in your tent and/or cavern?"

Permalink

Eva's been sipping her water to keep the heat off, and looks up with a smile. "Yeah, I should pack up too. You're welcome to come to my cavern for the night if you want; I wouldn't advise sleeping outside in Pink Desert." 

Permalink

"Thanks! I'll take you up on that then, and would you like help packing your stuff up?"

Permalink

"I'd love that, thank you. I'll get the solar charger and you can take down the tent? It's not too complex, you just reverse what you did to put it up." 

Eva puts her books back into her backpack and pulls it out of the tent.
