[Nice. He will have a sip.]

Because of that game miss Qingxuan had us play on Monday?

[aubins]

Yup. [ he pops! the p. ]

That, and the weekly effects kicking in. Seems like a few people suffered because of it.

... And last week the boat I was in with Sheila and Mineo made us all feel drunk. [ sips drink. but that doesn't matter. ]

[holeful]

Ah, that was why miss Sheila was drunk? She told me about the good cat you saw.
[It's good because three.]

Omi and mr Douman have been swearing all week because of the effect. It's a bit funny, actually.

[aubins]

That was. It didn't last too long but it, uh... wasn't fun. [ oh. the CAT. ] Yeah, it ran off before we could see if we could keep them.

[ unfair. ]

Ahh, I wondered. They've both been rather cagey about it-- or, well. One more than the other.

[holeful]

Mm. I would have liked to see it too...
[THREE CAT. THRAT.]

Ah, I remembered the word for it. Gap moe.
[Guess he was trying to think of it earlier?]

[aubins]

[ please god teach yuri slang. ]

A... gap what?

[holeful]

[HE WILL.]

Gap Moe. It's a sort of cuteness or charm found in people acting in a way counter to how you'd expect them to, based on how they look or normally act.

[aubins]

[ fukuda



this power you've given him ]




Oh. So... someone silent and grumpy being very cute about something?

[holeful]

[I'm happy to help.]

It can be like that! But the thing they're doing doesn't have to be cute, the cuteness is in it being unexpected. If someone like our dear doctor said fuck, it wouldn't be cute, but since Omi and Mr Douman are normally so formal, it's cute when they do.

[aubins]

[ he's thinking. ]

Oh, I get it. So something really out of character but it just ends up coming across as cute so it's, uh "gap moe".

I like it.

[holeful]

Mm. I think it's a good term.
[Sipping his drink. Love that this is happening probably at like.... noon.]

I'm glad I remembered it. I was having a hard time remembering things I knew, earlier this week.

[aubins]

There must be lots of modern terms like that floating around. This is the first one someone's explained though.

[ noon drinking is valid. ]

-- ah, yeah. You're doing better now though?

[holeful]

I think so. I still can't count, but that's fine, really.

[Sipping his drink placidly.]

[aubins]

... if it helps, the effects do seem to change. So, it might come back tomorrow, or the next day. Hopefully.

[ siiip. ]

I couldn't fight on Monday and it seems to be back now.

[holeful]

You're a fighter, Yuri? I wouldn't have guessed.

[Is this an insult or does he just have no tact.]

[aubins]

[ it's fine he's very twinkish ]

Yup. And it's not exactly to my detriment if people think that way, honestly.

[holeful]

Ah, maybe that's your gap moe....

[IT'S REALLY NOT.]

[aubins]

[ oh


his gap moe ]

Or just a secret hidden talent. That’s gap moe. [ stop it’s not gap moe ]

It was weird not being able to do something I’ve been doing for so long.

[holeful]

Aah. But if you think about it, there's something relieving about it too, if you think about it. Not having to worry about being counted on for something....

[Sipping his drink.]

[aubins]

Hm. ... maybe?

It feels more disorientating to me though. If it's something you're used to being able to do without thinking about it, then suddenly not being able to do it is-- [ he makes a vague gesture with his hand ]

Off putting.

[holeful]

... I mean, did you need to be able to fight people here, Yuri?

[WHY WOULD YOU NEED SWORD SKILLS RIGHT NOW AREN'T WE IN A FUCK STATION.]

[aubins]

[ he lifts his right hand and waggles his fingers at fukuda. wrath's symbol is marked on the back of his hand. ]

It's all fighting skills that have been iffy, Fukuda. Wrath lends itself to ... well. Guess? Sparring, play fighting, it all counts as far as I know. And that's made this week tricker so far.

I mean, I've managed. But it's been a pain.

[holeful]

[Ah, fair point.]

Wrath seems like a difficult sin to handle, even without losing your skill in fighting.
[This might just be because he seems to have the temperament of a sad dog.]

[aubins]

I think they're all kind of difficult. You're never just one thing, you know? I'm not entirely made of wrath, in the same way people on Lust's team aren't ... mostly constantly horny.

It's balance, or trying to figure out what works for you in terms of your marking and what you need for it. Or, that's how I've been playing it either way.

[holeful]

[Looks at team envy. Anyway.]

I don't know. Some of them seem easier than others. For sloth you could just nap a lot?
[Sounds easy to him.]

But then Gojou seems ill suited for it.
