[fujigglephysics]

This again?! That's too much!

An auction...? I was under the belief that slavery had been abolished across the world.

[ Rani, this isn't your world, sweetie. ]

[fujigglephysics]

Yes, but, ah, it's not that kind of auction.

More along the lines of..."dating".

[munajjima]

Dating? [ Pardon her, she's going to check her archives for that one. ]

Spending time with another person for the sake of building a relationship, be it romantic or platonic...is this truly so troubling for you?

[fujigglephysics]

Ah, sort of? Though, being in the spotlight is equally uncomfortable.

[munajjima]

...ah, I forgot that many people grow incredibly uncomfortable when under the scrutiny of a large number of people.

Forgive me.

[fujigglephysics]

It's okay. We all forget the little things in life sometimes, so there's no need to apologize.

[munajjima]

[ A slow, singular nod. ]

If you are sure, I'll do my best to be at ease.

[fujigglephysics]

[A-aww, Rani. So cute.]

Mm. Ah, say, you're one of the people that might be heading off to that place, right?

[munajjima]

Yes. My mundane has informed me that I'll be joining the subjects in the Facility if the conditions in the stars allow for it.

[fujigglephysics]

Hmm. If you ever do get in, I hope to see you around.

[munajjima]

[ She pauses just for a moment. ]

Yes. I would very much like that.

[ignitionart]

Fujino, your mun really seems to enjoy bothering like this... [It's legit concerning, though whether it's about Fujino or her mun is left unclear SCREAMS.]</small?

[fujigglephysics]

[Spoilers: It's always the tits.]

Y-yeah. Sorry, Kokutou-san. Her way of being fond of me is rather...strange.

[ignitionart]

I'm starting to wonder if all muns are like this. Torturing someone usually doesn't mean being fond of them unless they're a sadist.

[fujigglephysics]

...[long, awkward pause]

I think...she might be.

[ignitionart]

[GUUUUUUURL]

Just how on earth did you end up with such a person?

[fujigglephysics]

[SAVE ME, UTENA AZAKA...]

I wish I knew. But, for all she's put me through...I'm still at least thankful for getting to meet some interesting people the past year or so.

[ignitionart]

Interesting, huh? Have you been able to make friends there?

[fujigglephysics]

Mm! You should meet them, they're all nice and they've actually understood some of the problems I'd been dealing with.

[A pause.]

You should come and see my neighbor too. He's...rather rough around the edges, I should say. But- [Her lips curve into a rare, tender-filled smile.] He's okay. For the most part, at least.

[ignitionart]

I'm glad to hear it. You're more than deserving of good friends. [Though it will be weird once she realizes Fujino can see normally and all that GIRL WHAT HAPPENED.]

If you think he's alright, then I'll trust your opinion. Of course, it'd be bad of me not to check up on the people you know in the first place. [Oh HAPPY TEARS Fujino you should smile like that more often!!]

[fujigglephysics]

[BEING TAKEN FROM MID-CANON IS WHAT. ALL THESE DEVELOPING PERKS, AWW YES.]

That worried about me, huh? [That smile is only just the beginning, okok. You will drown in them when you get there.] All right. Just, please don't judge too harshly on my neighbor, okay? Some people over there can't see past his exterior, so I don't want you thinking the same way as they do.

[Because she'll defend him if she has to. what do you mean there's something more with her words]

[ignitionart]

[If only Azaka could benefit from development, BEING A STATIC CHARACTER IS HARD.]

I'll do my best to keep an open mind. As long as he isn't a person like Shiki, I don't think it'll be too much of a problem. [Because if it was up to her Shiki would be on fire all day errday SURELY NO ONE CAN BE AS BAD AS HER.]

[fujigglephysics]

[IT'S OKAY, THIS PLACE DOES THINGS TO PEOPLE, HORRIBLE OR NOT.]

Thanks...Azaka.

[omfg Fuji actually said her name. WE'VE MADE PROGRESS.]

[ignitionart]

Of course! There's no need to even thank me. [YEAAAAH.]

[gandere]

Come on, don't you want to know how much you're worth? I know there could never be a price placed on someone like myself, but I'd estimate you at least two hundred Vallors.

[fujigglephysics]

[Turning beet red, ahlsdjld]

I don't really think I'd be worth that much, to be honest! Besides, even if I were, I highly doubt anyone would even want to place a bid on me.

[gandere]

I got an idea. I'll make Archer and Lancer give me all of their Vallors, then bid on you myself.

Who needs boys?

[fujigglephysics]

[HER FACE WHEN]

O-oh, you don't have to do that! I'm sure no one will bid on me, so it's fine!

[gandere]

All the more reason for me to do it.

[fujigglephysics]

T-Tohsaka-san, it's okay! Really...

[grain_of_mercy]

SELLING PEOPLE FOR THE PURPOSE OF RELATIONSHIPS IS A RATHER ODD PRATICE, BUT I DO NOT SEE ANY HARM IN IT.

[fujigglephysics]

[Not!Granpapa Death! She's missed you!]

...I don't know about that. I mean, mundane-san's other muse isn't quite pleased at who's on there...

[grain_of_mercy]

[He's missed you too not!Granddaughter]

AH, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. THERE IS A TWIST OR SOME OTHER SORT OF COMPLICATION IN THIS MATTER, CORRECT?

[fujigglephysics]

Yeah. Then again, I don't think any guy would be happy on seeing their loved one being auctioned off.

[grain_of_mercy]

THAT CERTAINLY DOES EXPLAIN THINGS. I TRUST YOU YOURSELF ARE IN NO SUCH PREDICAMENT?

[fujigglephysics]

Yes, thankfully not. I'm pretty sure I'd fly under the radar of bidding, anyway.

[oldstrangersvoice]

Too much for what now, missy?

That is, uh. If you don't mind me asking. Just I'm a curious natured gent most a' times, and if I'm being sent to this place, just seems natural to want to know more about it than I do.

Which is... 'bout nothing, at this point.
