[She was doing so well with her secrets too. Jem's grand entrance just has her rubbing her hands over her eyes as she sits up before snagging her glasses from the night stand to put them on.]
Okay, hold on. We're here to judge you this morning. Don't drag me into this.
What? There isn't even anything to talk about here! Did I break the rule that says don't sleep with your best friend? Yes. That's literally all there is to this story.
[Straightening up, she groans a bit because wow this is so unfair. Especially that she was too asleep to notice herself spilling it. She was doing so well.]
Besides this was like months ago. Your thing was this weekend. That holds priority.
I didn't exactly have big plans to brag about it. It was just a thing.
[Verity just doesn't kiss-and-tell. Namely because she's never really had friends to tell. THIS IS BRAND NEW TERRITORY FOR HER. Listening on, her brow raises, pushes her glasses high on the bridge of her nose.]
The aphrodisiac tent. I'm guessing this follows with you actually digesting those snacks?
Yeah, that's kind of what's supposed to be the idea.
[THAT'S HOW THEY GET YOU, JEM. Her resistance is so low. Verity shouldn't have left you alone.]
Oh. [She knows him. They had dinner once. Decent guy aside from the fact that he despises her best friend, but that's not uncommon territory.] So. You and Petre, then ... ?
[THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY SUBTLE. She groans a lot for someone who's regret level isn't all that huge. Spoiler: she had fun. What a concept, so new 2 her. ]
Sorry. I haven't been following the who-sleeps-with-who guidebook. [She's barely even looked at the network lately with all the dumb drama she's been involuntarily dragged into as of late.
When this story's outcome becomes obvious though, she sighs, fingers rubbing her temple.]
Jem, you — wow. [She's not gonna judge, really. Everyone does their thing.] I mean, do you regret it? Was it your decision? Because those aphrodisiacs have a really strong influence.
[As long as Jem's conscious of her decision. This place did brag about its loyalty to the ideals of consent, after all.
The response makes her snort a laugh.]
It was pretty good? [She snickers, grabbing her pillow to playfully thwack her friend's belly lightly.] Jem Walker had a threesome and it was "pretty good".
[She continues her own laughter because (one) Jem could judge her about Loki all she wants, this is so much better to point fingers about and (two) at least she had fun. Jem needed that, for sure.]
God, who was it? The other guy. [Wait.] I mean, if it was a guy. Jem, did you have a threesome with some other girl?
[Away goes her hands so she can Verity a side long glance. Some other girl.]
It was a guy; I'll have a threesome with you if you want, Verity.
[is she joking, who knows. ]
It was a guy. It's -- Cole? Maybe you don't know him. [She goes very fond very quickly, because despite how awkward this will probably be to confront in the future, Cole has been nothing but kind to her. ] He's really sweet.
[It'd probably be hilarious if it had actually been a joke, but the thing about Verity Willis is that there's some things you can't pretend about. Choking on her laughter, she holds the back of her hand over her mouth.]
That's quite an offer you're tossing there, Jem. [Raising an eyebrow at her, because hello, lie detector here.]
You sure had a fun time changing the subject last time. But, sure, we don't need to go into the fact that my roommate just honestly said she'd have sex with me. No problem.
[Shruuuuuug. BLUNT AS FUCK. Just saying it like it is.]
I don't know Cole. But you got a lucky shot with two decent guys in this. That's like a lottery win right there. Sometimes it's hard finding just one.
[She chuckles softly, ducking her head momentarily as her fingers pick absentmindedly at the hem of her sock. Looking back up more confidentially, she smiles gently with a nod.]
They can be a thing with me, yeah.
[Verity Willis, who has never kissed a girl.]
As long as someone's not an asshole, it can go either way.
text.
Okay, hold on. We're here to judge you this morning. Don't drag me into this.
action.
[She walks around the other side of Verity's bed, hops on and rolls onto her side. Start talking so she doesn't have to.]
WHY DID I MAKE THAT A TEXT.
[Straightening up, she groans a bit because wow this is so unfair. Especially that she was too asleep to notice herself spilling it. She was doing so well.]
Besides this was like months ago. Your thing was this weekend. That holds priority.
WHO KNOWS
[ARE THEY NOT FRIENDS??? SHE IS WOUNDED. But okay, okay fine. She groans, rolling onto her back and covers her face with both hands.]
I went into the aphrodisiac tent.

no subject
[She peaks through her fingers imploring Verity to understand. They were delicious. And free. ]
I ran into Petre.
[which honestly, not actually a big deal. she runs into Petre a lot. ]
no subject
[THAT'S HOW THEY GET YOU, JEM. Her resistance is so low. Verity shouldn't have left you alone.]
Oh. [She knows him. They had dinner once. Decent guy aside from the fact that he despises her best friend, but that's not uncommon territory.] So. You and Petre, then ... ?
no subject
[this is not the first time with Petre, but. BUT. ]
No, the point is he wasn't alone.
no subject
That's old news and I'm the one who got interrogated? [POT. KETTLE. BLACK.
Oh but then. Oh no.] He wasn't — ? Oh god. Jem. Is this going where I think it is?
no subject
[THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY SUBTLE. She groans a lot for someone who's regret level isn't all that huge. Spoiler: she had fun. What a concept, so new 2 her. ]
Probably. At least it wasn't a stranger, I guess.

Jem, you — wow. [She's not gonna judge, really. Everyone does their thing.] I mean, do you regret it? Was it your decision? Because those aphrodisiacs have a really strong influence.
no subject
[She chews her thumb for a long, long second and then glances at Verity.] I don't really regret it.
[the truth. she keeps chewing her thumb. ] It was actually -- it was pretty good.
no subject
The response makes her snort a laugh.]
It was pretty good? [She snickers, grabbing her pillow to playfully thwack her friend's belly lightly.] Jem Walker had a threesome and it was "pretty good".
no subject
[But up go the hands over her face again, the heels of her palms pressing into her eyes. ] I don't have threesomes, Verity.
[She barely has twosomes.] I mean, I didn't? Fucking hell.
[If she never opens her eyes again, maybe she can wake up exactly as she was when she arrived in Eudio. ]
no subject
God, who was it? The other guy. [Wait.] I mean, if it was a guy. Jem, did you have a threesome with some other girl?
[
To quote Petre: AND I WASN'T INVITED??]no subject
It was a guy; I'll have a threesome with you if you want, Verity.
[is she joking, who knows. ]
It was a guy. It's -- Cole? Maybe you don't know him. [She goes very fond very quickly, because despite how awkward this will probably be to confront in the future, Cole has been nothing but kind to her. ] He's really sweet.

no subject
Don't change the subject, we've got the first threesome to deal with first.
no subject
[Shruuuuuug. BLUNT AS FUCK. Just saying it like it is.]
I don't know Cole. But you got a lucky shot with two decent guys in this. That's like a lottery win right there. Sometimes it's hard finding just one.
no subject
I don't know if decent is the right word to describe Petre.
[he is a demon, Verity. ]
But Cole is -- we have similar life experience and he's good at listening and knowing where I'm coming from.
[she pauses. ]
You just sounded disappointed that you weren't the other girl, is all.
[do you want to have sex with her Verity???]
no subject
[Most assholes have her bolting out within seconds on a date. Petre's just good at getting away with it.
But oh god. That accusation.]
It's not disappointment. I just wasn't sure if girls were a thing. With you. [MORE CASUAL SHRUGS. SO CASUAL.]
no subject
Girls are a thing with me.
[Jem Walker, who has never kissed a girl.]
Are they a thing with you?
no subject
They can be a thing with me, yeah.
[Verity Willis, who has never kissed a girl.]
As long as someone's not an asshole, it can go either way.
no subject
Our potential threesome is going well, here.

[WELL IT doesn't have to be. Just saying.]
