[In that way....]

Juuuuuust so I'm sure we're on the same page, was this like a hookup, oooooorr....????

[No sweat of Cater's back if it was, but it definitely changes the nature of the beast, so to speak.]

[terrariums]

Nothing like that. We went on a date and I made inaccurate deductions as well as misspoke. In addition, I recently spent some time sharing my Dominant's toy collection.

I fear that may have made things additionally uncomfortable for him despite his interest in the subject.

[caycay]

OMGGGG you went on a DATE?! DUUUUDE!!!!

[Listen that's the most surprising thing Jade could've possibly said. Idia Shroud...on a date. If Cater knew the circumstances behind the happening of it, he'd be much less in awe.]

He never wants to take me out. 😭
Anyway kk let's see. What kind of message are you hoping to send aside from apologies. Like, "I hope we continue doing business in the future" or "let's go on another date" or "I have an active curiosity in your interests and want to learn more" ???

[terrariums]

We went to the aquarium and had dinner.

[ Although at the initial offer it had been just to make Idia groan and fret, he had found the actual experience personally enlightening. ]

I suppose the last one would suit my needs most conveniently.

[caycay]

for realzies?? you didn't just message to make Cay-Cay jealous, did you??? 😢 LOL jk

[JK...unless...???]

Alrighty weeeeell...how much do you know about video games? Considering they're not made to be waterproof, I'm figuring it's safe to assume you didn't have any real experience playing them until you came to land.]

[terrariums]

Floyd had multiple systems back at the dormitory, though I normally watched him play only in passing. We typically stayed well within our own hobbies during our downtime.

Though he has had me play a racing game with him on occasion.

[caycay]

That's not a bad start! Idia's main areas of interest can be roughly broken down into these categories:

- Video Games
- Precipice Mori
- Robotics and Technology (obviously)
- Anime & Manga
- Internet Culture & Memes

Outside of Premo you can find any of those things here, but he's not suuuuuper interested in hentai unless it has really good art/story which is fairly uncommon esp here. And I mean, the Internet culture here is def different since everyone here is from all over time/space/dimensions but I've met some who know comparable memes.

[terrariums]

How informative. What is hentai?

[caycay]

[There is no way around this. Cater's just going to be direct. Seven help him.]

It's porn. Anime porn. And then there's eroge, which is like anime porn video games. IIRC like visual novel style computer games specifically but Idia would probably get offended at me for simplifying it too much or smth lmfao

[terrariums]

So he prefers eroge rather than watching an animated pornographic film?

[caycay]

tbh it probably depends on his mood
the point overall tho is that if you can find anything non-pornographic that would be ideal
a much bigger task in this city though
he doesn't really have a genre preference as far as I can tell, he has a big library of basically everything that came with him on his computer

[terrariums]

I see. Idia-san and I's preferences could not be more different, so I fear my idea of a gift may fall flat. He has little interest in food, plants, or the outdoors.

[ Which are the easiest non-sexual things that Jade can recall. ]

Another outing may make the situation worse. Perhaps there are board games here that lack the sexual aspect...

[caycay]

well you can't go wrong with sweets at least
Idia's got a craaazy sweet tooth and snacks he can consume in small portions like single-serving bags of chips yk?
basically anything anti-healthy LMAO
and I think he has a bit of a newfound appreciation for plants bc of his past sub
idk much about her but he keeps her garden like pristine and I think he was p torn up when she disappeared

[Cater definitely wishes he'd had the chance to meet her.]

anyway I've heard if you dig deep enough you can find things from other worlds in some of the shops
like books and movies and music...so games can't be too far off right??? you should be able to find something

or hey you could design a game yourself 😂 I bet he'd lose his mind analyzing it
actually ykw...omggggg galaxy brain moment:
you could design a board game about camping to bring together both of your interests
obvi it would take more time and effort than putting together a gift box tho

[terrariums]

Do you believe he would enjoy such a thing? I find it hard to imagine him even pretending to enjoy nature. Even in a game.

[ Though he does know that the boardgames go over well with him--what with Azul and Idia sharing that particular club. ]

He has little interest in food, but single serving sweets and foods are appealing. That should be easy enough to arrange.

[caycay]

no no no as long as the game is engaging, I'm confident that he'd enjoy it.

[He thinks about it for a moment. If something like that were to take a little while to produce...]

if you're interested, maybe I can help with it 🤔
it could b a birthday gift
that would give us about four months to get it all put together, play test it, etc.
