Tea Party with Captive Listener

[takeme2urpants]

[You find yourself sitting at a lovely table with all the trimmings, this unusually warm October evening. Above the table is a sign:]

UNLOAD YOUR PROBLEMS ON THIS DUDE

[The arrow points down to ZEX. He sighs, and pours you tea.]

I suppose you might as well. I have no other plans for the evening.

[Guess who feels SO AWKWARD...]

[stillyouridol]

[Page two is for consequences!]

[takeme2urpants]

Ah.

...[Pours tea and fixes it just the way you like it, um]

[stillyouridol]

[I. can't. ...even look at you, oh man]

[takeme2urpants]

[Puts the tea in front of you.]

...

Well. This is a bit... hmm.

[stillyouridol]

--What did you do to me???

[takeme2urpants]

[Jumps a bit in his chair]

What?

[stillyouridol]

You did something to me! The other day! What with all the talking and the taking me to your ship and...

...Are you a pervert?? With some kind of influence that makes people do things they don't want to? Is the tea how you do it? That's terrible!

[takeme2urpants]

I--the tea is not--

It was not my doing, this I promise you. I had no intention of taking advantage of the situation, but I did not wish to... hurt your feelings, or make this more awkward than it had to be. I apologize if you feel that I have wronged you, but it was not at all my desire to do so.

[stillyouridol]

You knew something was wrong and you still encouraged it! I shouldn't have acted like that, it was entirely inappropria--

--! Don't tell Kayashima! Or Nakatsu! Or... anyone. Oh God, what if Sempai comes to Camp again and he finds out? Don't tell anyone you can't tell anyone I can't believe you did that...!

[takeme2urpants]

I will tell no one, though I believe both Taiki and Nakatsu were already aware. Though, as they were similarly affected, I doubt they shall ever bring up the incident again.

[stillyouridol]

[Absolutely mortified.
Oh my word we cuddled...]

NO ONE. I would never do that. Ever. Ever.

[takeme2urpants]

I will tell no one at all, you have my word.

...And I am very, very sorry.

[stillyouridol]

Besides that, I have someone I'm dedicated to! Does this count as cheating? Maybe I'm obligated to tell... Everything I've done is ruined. And Kayashima already hates me. This is terrible. Why did it happen?

[Various frustrated/panicked garbled noises go here]

[takeme2urpants]

It happened because Camp is a menace.

It does not count as cheating. Taiki will not find it as such, and no one will tell your beloved nor hold it against you. I promise you, this will not pollute your standing.

[stillyouridol]

...Is this another trick? Because I'm not going back to your ship for "tea" twice.
