[ Summer heat! Great for more time in the sun or sticking inside the air-conditioned buildings. Anyway, it's humid. Make sure to stay hydrated and apply sunscreen!

Heard there were some new faces, though. Why not greet them! ]

I mean, I can afford to do both pretty easily.

[purestdust]

Even so, I shouldn't rely too much on your generosity. If you were to give me points now, then this time, I would make sure to return them later on.

[protectshisown]

Man, today is just 'how the newbies and I are similar' day.

To be fair, four of my abilities were bought by a senior member. Three because there was an invasion of Tokyo-F from imps and ogres and I had already proven a tendency to run into danger, but still.

I also told him I'd pay him back and it took several months before I got him to just accept the points.

[purestdust]

I hope it'll take me a little less than that.

[protectshisown]

Oh, I had the points for a while, it was just to get him to not send them back immediately.

[purestdust]

[ he smiles at that, a little charmed ]

Wouldn't you do the the same if any of us sent you back the points you gave us?

[protectshisown]

Depends entirely on circumstances.

[purestdust]

If I am correct in my assessment of you, I'd say you would if I did that before I could reasonably afford to do so.

But I do believe you'd respect my wishes to pay you back otherwise.

[protectshisown]

Correct. Get enough points where you can buy stuff or memories on the fly on top of whatever payback you think you owe me and then I'd be open to it.

[purestdust]

That does seem reasonable. If we win games and I try to do more lives, it shouldn't take long.

[protectshisown]

It is surprising how quickly points can build up.

[Also gonna send 800 points now.]

[purestdust]

[ noticing the notification and then nodding at him ]

Thank you, Rye. I will pay you back as soon as it's feasible.

[protectshisown]

No problem. Don't worry about it.

[purestdust]

Maybe there are things I can do to help in the meantime, to pay you back in another way.

[protectshisown]

If you're paying back points, you don't need to pay back in other ways.

[purestdust]

I would still like to repay everyone's kindness. But admittedly sharing this laboratory was the only thing I could think of.

[protectshisown]

I mean, I'm going to ask you a million questions about the lab regardless because I want to know what I'm doing with a lot of things I have no frame of reference for, so...
