Turning 21 has been a completely underrated experience. I was expecting the blackout and loss of time. Even the warping to a new place isn't out of the realm of estimated probability.

But being genetically altered is a plot twist. I assume it is so we can fuck the monsters.

I call dibs on the raven dude.

cw: looots of kink/fetish/nsfw jokes/conversation going on in this here post.

--> private; this ended up being a lil bit of a train crash

[Does it count as deep compassion, he wonders, if it isn't felt the way he used to feel it?

He considers the rest of the question before setting his response private.]

I'm securing this conversation before I answer that. This way you may have the full explanation you deserve. And I don't have to talk lightly about it in public.

In short, you shouldn't have seen that part of me under ordinary circumstances. Under the circumstances where you would see it, I would give an ordinary human one in fifty odds. Worse if he looked for very long or locked eyes with me. One of my own people? One in four, or a certainty if eye-locked. [Now imagine the dimensions of the problem when you're absolutely covered in eyes.]

I don't know if an image carries the same risk but we have every reason to believe it might. Since shutters became fast enough to capture us with any accuracy while moving, we have done everything in our power to seize and destroy photographs of us wilding.

Thank you for removing it as soon as I asked.

Ruins the mood a little, doesn't it?

And that might be

That

[Godspit and fuck. It would be like Eyes having hold of him again even if he knew exactly who was doing it and why.

He rakes a hand through his braids, blows out an unnecessary breath, and spends more time composing his response.]

I already like you a great deal but I'd need to trust you completely to let you do that. Even if I'm interested in the experiment in theory.

private forever - this is gr8

(Dirk reads carefully and then rereads to ensure he had it right. It was worth the respect of his attention as well. It seemed vital and it was clear why.)

I understand. I am sorry that you were accidentally exposed like that. I will make sure if I see other photos of it to take them off.

No, not really. People have extreme circumstances sometimes. I think it would be more naive and immature to act like any relationship, platonic or otherwise, will be without special considerations. Yours just happen to be a little more unique.

(He laughs a little at the last bit, amused at how nice this guy was trying to be about the suggestion.)

It's cool, man, I get it. Most people don't want some asshole bouncing around in their head. I think I can travel through people's dreams though so if I wind up doing that, just know it probably wasn't intentional and isn't the same as being in your actual brain.

You are a blessing. It is possible, though unlikely, there are other pictures out there; I was [how to put it,] confined to t̪̄̌ͅh͙̖̞̀͊͛a̺t̅ ͓̱shape for a few days last month. Only saving grace was it was somewhere Sleepers couldn't have done much photography.

[Thanks for stealing everyone's Omnis, Zealots!]

A wise approach. [Though as he's listened to more of Dirk elsewhere in conversation, that seems more academic than experiential wisdom.] And good theory. Practice can be harder, in my experience.

[Ah, but what a kind out.]

Something like that. Though I've been accused of having equally intimate anatomy on my mind far too often. So what's another asshole.

That's not a worry for me. Unfortunately, since that would be quite an experience. Haven't dreamed for half a decade.
