...tone
is hard on the internet and that seems like a very useful skill to have.
Also, she will literally never in her life willingly run a comedy subplot that depends on poor communication. Comedy subplots in general are on thin ice, but if you want miscommunication comedy you want a DIFFERENT PLAYER who is NOT THIS ONE.As for Implausible Instant Messaging, it looks suspiciously like it involves spending a lot of a limited resource to get a coinflip's worth of a useful result—and at that, one
without the inherent plausible deniability of using a Find Friends Nearby feature in a game; by implication, she would just be... messaging these people on their regular messaging clients totally out of the blue like some sort of weird stalker???? Maybe it's better at higher levels, but how is she ever going to get it to higher levels when currently it sucks so much?
That can be a problem for another time. A time after she turns the game back on.
Ero Environmental Resistance is... certainly... an ability. That will, technically, benefit her. She decides she is going to IGNORE certain sentences of that description because she is taking a BREAK from ERO NONSENSE. Any reactions she may have to the concept of non-environmental temperature phenomena, she can have LATER, when she is no longer on break.
What else does her break need?
She thinks about it for a minute over her empty bowl of cereal. Then she goes and peeks in her freezer.
Then she puts on normal clothes for leaving the house like a normal person, and she grabs her purse and heads out to the corner store to buy a carton of black cherry ice cream, which she proceeds to take home and eat with a spoon until she feels like she is done eating ice cream, because it turns out that her break seemed to need some very tangible reckless self-indulgence.
Is she done?
She contemplates whether she might be done, and finds herself wondering if she could, perhaps, just do a
tiny bit of Ero Nonsense, just the littlest possible thing, and decides that that is a sign she has not had enough of a break yet. So she thinks to herself a little longer. What seems like a potentially break-like activity? Playing some more Alarmadillo by herself? Sure, she'll do that.
There is, she discovers, a part of her that kind of wishes she had class today so she could have 'go to class and have a normal day in class' on her menu of options. But it is, in fact, currently Saturday, and she has nothing on her schedule until Tuesday, an entirely sensible decision of hers that nonetheless leaves her feeling vaguely off-balance. Who knows, maybe by the time Tuesday rolls around she will have decided to pursue a life of Ero Nonsense and leave school behind entirely. ...but probably not. She actually
likes her classes, at least some of them.
There is technically no homework yet because term only started a couple of weeks ago, but she spends some time reading her Latin textbook and does, in fact, find it nicely calming.
Okay. What else? Anything else? A few more hours to decompress? Another bowl of ice cream? A needlessly elaborate lunch? (She makes crepes and puts jam on them and then whimsically also puts peanut butter on them and this turns out to be a delicious decision.)
...she picks up her phone, and scrolls through all the comments on her Flowers pictures, using the actual internet and not the clicky-clicky game interface. It's kind of nice. Makes her blush, a lot, but still kind of nice.
And then, very hesitantly... she texts Daisy.
Do you want to do some photography?
