"People get off on that? Of course people get off on that. Rule 34 is real."

This conversation got kind of depressing, didn't it. He takes refuge in his phone for a moment, updating the posted orgy location. Did Asher RSVP yet?

He did!

"People get off on all kinds of things. Rape isn't even a weird one."

"It sounds like a really unpleasant thing to be into, but maybe that's the typical mind fallacy and the people who are into it are fine with being into it." Shrug. "On a related note, I'm going to deputize Asher to help keep order tonight."

Hey Asher! I hope you're as excited for tonight as I am (and less nervous).

"I think most of the people who are into it only like it in imagination," Lev says, "and not in real life. I was just guessing that probably the Erogame could fuck with your brain so that rape is not traumatizing, if you'd be into it. --Honestly it's a common enough kink that it might do that anyway, if you get your PRV high enough."

Sure thing! Haven't been to an orgy in years.

Bruce reads the Erogamer's Mind description again and says, "I'm not actually sure it didn't already fuck with my brain on that axis, it says I could find it 'anything from a recoverable trauma to a Tuesday afternoon'. I'll take 'things I'd rather not test empirically' for 300, Alex."

To Asher:

Can I ask you to help out with the job of making sure everyone is behaving acceptably and throwing out anyone who doesn't understand that consent is still important at an orgy? It would be nice if the game gave me magical immunity to inviting douchebags but it hasn't said as much.

I'd think the Erogame would handle that but sure!

"...............I am so curious about how that works."

"I'm curious too, I didn't feel anything change when the game started but maybe if I was better at introspection I would have." He reads off the full Erogamer's Mind description.

If the game does handle that, so much the better, but it explicitly told me it was handling STD risk and didn't say anything about screening people so I don't want to rely on that entirely.

"It's probably a terrible idea to have someone rape you and see what happens."

"Yeah, if I thought you were going to do that I would be super jumpy around everyone you could plausibly have picked and most people you couldn't."

"I guess one thing I can say," and he addresses this about 90% to Lev and 10% to the ceiling, "is that if there is a rapist at the orgy, better that they go after me than someone who doesn't have that protection. Hypothetically speaking."

"...you're doomed."

"I am probably pretty doomed, yeah. I guess we'll see how doomed doomed is?" He's not sure if the absence of pink pop-ups is reassuring or ominous.

"...nope that's dramatic irony you are SUPER DOOMED. Fuck."

"I kind of miss living in a universe where reality would just go on being reality regardless of my expectations about it. Speaking of which, what are some other things I should do to raise my ERO?" Maybe if he changes the subject there will be less DOOM.

"Secret beings that are running reality," Lev announces, "I can make Bruce's life significantly less ero and you know it and you can read my mind so you know I will, so you have to give me that one thing, and you have to make sure that Bruce and I are both happy afterward, and you have to explain yourself at some point."

A piece of paper suddenly falls down from a shelf where someone left it. 

It says, in feminine handwriting: "yes, but don't push your luck."

"And don't you dare tell me that Bruce is not going to get an ERO for this just because I did it," Lev says, "I don't care if I'm an NPC in Bruce's game, if you're communicating with the secret beings who run reality via coincidental Post-It you get an ERO for it and if you didn't want it to be this way then you shouldn't have had him meet me."

+1 ERO for ballsiness. 

??????? has been unlocked by a special action. ???????? has created the ????? ?????

"Okay, I just got +1 ERO that's rightfully yours for and I quote 'ballsiness', and also I have been informed that a string of question marks has been unlocked by a special action, questions marks has created the question marks question marks."

"Game, I activate the question mark question mark question mark question mark question mark question mark question mark I just unlocked. Let's see if that does anything." Perhaps if he is already doomed he can at least be interestingly mystery doomed. Probably it won't kick in until some convenient or inconvenient time in the future when its inputs are available.
