Well, none of my friends or past flames have shown up in the city, so we’ll leave it at that.

Sounds confusing.

[bobsicle]

It's confusing, yeah. Not to mention the ones who I know from my own world are from different points in time.

Anyway, you wanna play again?

[vintsparkler]

I do know what that’s like, but it’s been a while.

Right, it is my turn.

1. I bathe more in the morning than I do in the evening.
2. I’ve killed too many people to count.
3. I use to be part of a cult.

[bobsicle]

[ Oh wow, it's getting more difficult now. ]

Wow, this is hard

Maybe 2?

[vintsparkler]

Wrong. I’ve fought in many a battle and did what I had to in order to survive.

Even if that meant slaying my own countrymen. Though most were cultists.

[bobsicle]

I see.

[ Bobby's not surprised, admittedly, especially upon remembering Dorian telling him he wasn't a good man before. He understands more than most, even if he doesn't agree with violence, especially now that he's dating Erik. ]

Does this mean 1 is the right answer?

[vintsparkler]

No, it’s number 3.

I’ve never joined a cult and considering the one back home is made up of power hungry supremacists, willing to do whatever it takes to return glory to our country? No. I would not be a part of that, not to such a degree.

[bobsicle]

[ Oh, and here he thought Dorian might've joined a good cult. Then again, does one even exist? ]

Alright, that makes perfect sense. I feel dumb for even suggesting you'd join one.

[vintsparkler]

Oh, no, don’t feel dumb. You didn’t know, can’t be helped.

[bobsicle]

So, how many times do you bathe in the morning then?

[vintsparkler]

Depends. What did I do the night before? Am I alone? Do I have the time to tend to more than general hygiene?

[bobsicle]

Amazing, though, that you're that thorough with your personal hygiene.

[vintsparkler]

Of course. I take it quite seriously and I enjoy it. How it makes me feel.

[bobsicle]

Yeah, I'm sure you do. It's good self-care, after all.

Anyway, here's my next list

1. I know how to ice skate.
2. I'm a virgin when I arrived here.
3. I'm amazing at hand-to-hand combat.

[vintsparkler]

2

I wouldn’t want anyone to be a virgin when they arrive here. It sounds overwhelming.

[bobsicle]

It's actually 3

Sadly, but maybe also not, my first experience was when I arrived here. [ To be fair, it's not as if he doesn't know how sex works. He watched some porn. But he'll elaborate on this when asked. ]

[vintsparkler]

You're not good at hand-to-hand combat?

Really? It’s hard to believe given how sweet you are and easy on the eyes. I’m so sorry.

[bobsicle]

Well, I'm okay with it but not amazing. I rely on my powers more, you see.

But no worries, it's cool. Didn't have opportunities to have sex before I came here. My family's conservative and my ex is someone I can't touch because of her powers, so

Thanks for the compliment, though.

[vintsparkler]

I’m the same way, actually.

My family didn’t approve either, but I still had my ways.

[bobsicle]

How did you go about it, then?

[vintsparkler]

I snuck off, got caught. Snuck off some more. Spent many a time at houses of ill repute in the slums where I knew my father wouldn’t find me.

[bobsicle]

And you didn't get caught again after that first time?

[vintsparkler]

I did, but not by him. And the final time was by him.

I drunkenly propositioned a man I once called my Mentor. He took an interest to me and I was sponsored by him for many wonderful years where I pursued the study of time magic, my interests, passions and attended many parties.

And then I got caught. Too cocky and confident, I didn’t care if my father noticed or cared. I didn’t care that I was a scandal.

[bobsicle]

Well, you deserve to live fully and authentically yourself, so I'm glad you pursued the things you wanted.

Didn't exactly disappoint my own parents until I came out as a mutant, but when I did, I wish I came out to them sooner.

[vintsparkler]

Why sooner?
