Oh now this is simply ridiculous. Once was enough for an entire stay at Camp.

Ah, excuse me-- would you be willing to tell me the various cures for a bodyswitch? Ones that do not involve, er, intimacy.

((ETA: Naoto-as-Raven is passing out, but will pick up all threads later! o/))

... yeah, whatever. You know that one meme about cake and lies or something along those lines? That stuff has never worked for me.

[notmakingout]

Thank you for your input.

[boldstarring]

Unfortunately, intimacy tends to be the universal answer to these sorts of ... "issues."

[notmakingout]

So I've noticed.

[boldstarring]

"Awkward" tends to be the actual cure.

[notmakingout]

--you're saying that Camp effects are generally cured by instigating feelings of discomfort?

[boldstarring]

Well, I've noticed that the cure often tends to be the most uncomfortable thing I can think of.

[notmakingout]

Hmm. It is a theory worth looking into. I suppose I'd never thought of it that way before.

[boldstarring]

And how long have you been here?

[notmakingout]

Two years.

[boldstarring]

And that never occurred to you? Wow.

[notmakingout]

Excuse me. It isn't a matter of not noticing how Camp revels in our discomfort-- a mere ten minutes in this establishment will make that much obvious. But the Camp cures are varied, regardless of how common one is over another: all accounts of cures contradict one another in terms of how effective and how fast the issue is resolved and believe me, I have studied them. The idea that there is a specific level of discomfort inherent in the resolution is new simply because there are just as many accounts of bodyswitches being cured through mutual satisfaction, communication, and non sequitor-esque methods such as eating food. As this is only the second "official" Camp effect I have personally experienced, my own insight into the matter is limited. Of course, the food could be red herrings, but I'm of the opinion that no evidence should be discarded until it has been thoroughly debunked.

To that end, I'll ask you to kindly refrain from insulting my intelligence again, sir.

[boldstarring]

Defensive much? It was just an observation - a comment, hardly an actual insult upon your intelligence or whatever. If you're extrapolating that much from it, then that's your problem.

[notmakingout]

Your intentions do not absolve you of insulting me. It is my job to take keen observations and investigative information and do everything I can to solve this case; being accused of laziness does not sit well with me.

[boldstarring]

... that wasn't even an accusation. If I was accusing you of something or calling you out or whatever? You'd know. Speaking of - right now, I do think you're entirely too tightly wound, beyond the point that's excusable for this sort of situation. Chill out.

[notmakingout]

I did not ask for your opinion.
