Tylor here, if we haven't met yet!

With all this noob talk, I just wanted to remind everyone that we're all new to this game. And that's amazing when you think about it! We're so lucky to be the ones here to experience it all. The important thing isn't who the best is, it's about how much fun we can have. That's the point of games, right?

So, let's all try to have fun together while we're here! Remember to eat and drink in real life too, everyone!

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I'm actually kinda worried about some of you guys. Stress and taking things too seriously really isn't good for your health. You might get wrinkles in real life, no matter how gorgeous your avatar is.

Do you faint a lot? it's a lot harder to eat while you're unconscious.

[tablescraps]

I faint if I haven't eaten in a number of days.

( Obviously, )

It would be easier if I could receive nutrition via IV on a relatively permanent basis.

[tylorific]

Sure, it'd be easier. But wouldn't you miss the taste?

[tablescraps]

Would you, in my position?

cw casual needle mention??

[tylorific]

Oh, absolutely. not just the taste either! eating food is a real experience. Enjoying it with other people is even better than doing it alone.

besides, needles hurt.

you don't have a favorite food, do you?

[tablescraps]

Not really. I don't have anyone I eat food with, either.

Do you?

( Regarding either. )

[tylorific]

there's no way I could pick just one. not in a world with so many delicious choices.

What about eating in game? Is it easier for you?

[tablescraps]

So far, it's about the same as reality. I only ate at the opening event because Zelkova prompted us to.

But I'm willing to try different digital foods to see if the experience diverges at any point... even if I guess it doesn't matter whether it does or not.

[tylorific]

Maybe it doesn't matter, but who knows? Maybe you'll find something you actually like to eat? Besides, stuff in game might not be real but all our experiences together sure are. so it might be fun anyway!

Want to eat together sometime? Oh, but you probably don't drink either, huh?

[tablescraps]

( :thinking: )

We can eat together if you want to. I can also drink. It doesn't really matter to me either way.

I don't really have any gold to purchase food or drink with, though, if that's an issue. I think I'll need to complete Area Explorations for that.

[tylorific]

Oh, right. I forgot about gold.

But I can help with that! Area Exploration is lots of fun, so I don't mind. The gross flesh walls weren't even that bad.

[tablescraps]

The what

[tylorific]

Flesh walls. Like skin! There were bees too.

[tablescraps]

( ... )

You enjoy walls made of skin, and bees?

[tylorific]

No, we beat up the bees.

The fun part was having whiskey on the rocks and getting to be in a party with such beautiful people~ ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡

[tablescraps]

( Whiskey on the rocks... )

Does the visual appearance of a person's avatar improve your own experience? This is the second time you've made a reference to the concept, counting your original post.

[tylorific]

Well, of course! In game or out, nothing lifts my spirits quite like seeing a beautiful person.

In game it's even a choice! You can defy fate if you really want to, isn't that neat?

[tablescraps]

I guess you could. I don't pay attention to how others look, myself.

( He does remember he used to care mostly about appearances, though, so what Tylor says isn't completely Greek to him, even if he no longer relates. )

At the end of the day, I'm still interacting with a person, regardless of their appearance. Or a NPC in the shape of a person. It's a similar experience.

( Talking to a NPC or talking to a person... apparently. )

[tylorific]

Oh, well a person isn't just their appearance either.
People have all kinds of talents and smarts beneath the surface. But it's impossible not to appreciate beauty when I see it.

Really? Have you met an NPC like me before?

[tablescraps]

( There's small gap before Mithrun sends his reply. He's thinking. )

I don't think so. Not yet, in any case. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a NPC like me, though.

[tylorific]

Good! Should make it easier.

[ only to add to it a few seconds later, after actually reading the rest of what Mithrun1 wrote-- ]

oh, I sure would be

you're way more interesting than any script could come up with so far. npcs usually at least pretend to like food

[tablescraps]

Easier?

I didn't think that was that interesting, though. Most people

( He sends that too early, but he also doesn't care enough to fix it. He's thinking. Hmmm. Nup. He has no clue. )

I don't really know what most people think of me, but it also doesn't matter.

Did you want to meet to do an Area Exploration run?

[tylorific]

To think of me as more than an npc! Most people what?

But let's do it! Maybe we'll get a super cool, non-fleshy dungeon.

[ Another short delay, before-- ]

when do you want to? now?

[tablescraps]

Any time is fine with me. If you want to do it now, I can.

Also, I was going to make a remark as to how most people think of me, but I realized I stopped paying attention to that.

[tylorific]

Yeah! Right now.

[ A minute later-- ]

wait, shouldn't you have a snack first?
