Haha, sure.

[That little grimace is so innocent. He absently wonders if this is what Zen would feel like whenever he got him drunk.... there's this sense now that he has shoes to fill, of every hyung in the RFA. Anyway, Yoosung nods, his fist tightening around the darts in it enthusiastically before he opens it back up to pluck the first one out to aim. The eyes are of course the top points- you could say "an eye for an eye" is the entire spirit of this game. He leans back, trying to line up the shot, but in the end he doesn't have a ton of sense for this kind of thing in real life so he just throws it without really knowing if it's good or not. He's gotten in some practice in the past week, but still... The dart slams into Oswald's brow.]

Hey, I'm not too far off! For a first throw that's not bad. Try and beat it.

Okay, okay...

[ He's not really close enough to the desk right now to set this can down, and this isn't one of those nice gaming chairs with built in cup holders, soooo he just kind of holds it between his legs for the moment.

Let's see... He squeezes one eye shut as he lines it up, which may or may not do any good, but that's what he usually does in first person shooters, so--

Aaaaand it lands a little to the right of the nose. ]

All right, that was just a warm-up!

[ BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PRETTY GOOD ON A REGULAR DARTBOARD KIND OF... ]

[Yoosung takes a sip, watching him.]

Does closing your eye really help for this?

[He thought that was just a myth!! But it IS in the middle... if it had actually hit the nostril it would have been worth more points though.]

Mmm... maybe? I feel like it's supposed to help if you're using your dominant eye, but I might be making that up.

[ He picks his can back up and takes another sip. He hides his mixed feelings about the taste a little better this time now that he's more used to it again. ]

Man, I wonder if we're going to have to make more of these if all the people from those weird profiles eventually show up here. Or... all the robots or whatever, I mean. I bet at least some of them are jerks too.

[ He wonders, but he already printed out the pictures just in case. ]

I hope we don't have to make them "wanted." That would be a lot of enemies!

[He's fine with just this one!! And he closes one eye and then the other, trying to figure out his dominant eye, then giving up and just throwing it into his hair.]

Ah, too high. But anyway, I think Vivi made them to be her friends... and then she made friends for the friends. Or dates? I'm not sure. It's kind of weird that only one of them was male.

The whole thing is kind of weird, isn't it? But yeah... Though I mean, I guess if I were making something like that I'd probably want to make mostly female ones too.

[ Don't call him out on the fact that it wasn't any of the female AIs' pictures he lingered on the longest, okay.

Closing one eye again just because, and-- oof, overcompensated on the angle, it's off to the right of Hale's left eye this time. ]

Aw.

Well, it's closer than my first shot.

[Yoosung is taking another sip, thoughtfully.]

You're thinking about what you'd do? And you'd rather be surrounded by girls...

[He's taken a brief stint a club like that before - the one with that girl who wanted him to join in stargazing because his name meant shooting star. It wasn't bad, but he felt pretty overwhelmed...]

I think that would get kind of awkward. I'd rather have it be even!

Well, they'd be ones you programmed, right? I think you could probably make it not awkward.

[ Hmm... ]

Of course, then you could also make sure the guys were good friends and not jerks, so...

[ So he probably wouldn't actually have to worry about being stuffed into a locker by his own creation instead of loved by it, which, even if he isn't going to admit it, is a very real concern for his hypothetical AI-engineering alter ego. ]

[Hmm. The thought he's putting into friend customization here is a little concerning...]

But you don't really think all of that's what she was thinking about, right?

[I mean, he straight up thought some of Vivi's robots would be jerks.]

[ What, it's not like going down that path has ever gotten anyone flayed alive by a vengeful gay witch. ]

Probably not, but I'm not sure if they were really intended to be friends anyway. I mean, aside from the corgi, probably. They each had a designated "purpose" like they were experiments for developing certain aspects or functionalities.

[ Sips... ]

A-anyway, I'm just saying in general that having a bunch of female robots around could be kind of hot.

[ MINUS THE LITTLE KID, obviously... ]

It's, uh. It's your turn, right?

Yeah, I'm up! [Yoosung sets down his beer and gets out of his chair to retrieve the darts that have been thrown so far, plucking them out one by one. Fortunately this gives him a moment to process that Yuuki probably noticed his reactions to some of the profiles... it's obvious that the stuffier line of conversation about their experimental purposes isn't the better topic of conversation for what has been specifically designated a party. His inner former class rep nerd boy self is dying a little, but he should just admit it, right?]

Ehhh, you're not wrong. A lot of them were hot looking. Most of them were my type too...

[Now that this is out, he better not laugh. Yoosung backs up enough to throw another dart, finally hitting the eye and throwing up his hands.]

Yaaay!

Hey, nice!

[ Claps supportively!!

And yes, this is much better party conversation than the ethics of robot friendships, jeez. ]

Yeah! I always thought Satou-san was super pretty.

[ Even if he's kind of confused about her now?? ]

I don't know if the twins were my type, exactly, but they were still pretty hot too. I wonder which one is which. I feel like Sola should be the one with the red in her hair, since, you know, "Sol", but.

[ Shrugs. He has no idea if those hair colors were hard coded by Vivienne or if they actually dyed them themselves or what. ]

Satou is definitely pretty, but I like her personality most... um, maybe. To be honest, her profile in the school and her profile in the files seemed pretty different, but they're both good in different ways? If it's all true then that's pretty good.

[he'd say it's a shame they don't see her more, but he's not actively looking for a girlfriend anymore... it's not so easy to get over a lost love. But this is all hypothetical, so it's fine. He sits down and passes Mishima his share of darts, taking another drink.]

I'm not sure, but I really liked their hair! They looked like the bad girls that would eat you alive. Kind of scary, but...

[He definitely does not make that sound like a bad thing. He'd be into it... except...]

Well, they'd have to be a little older to be my type...I think.

[ Accepts darts!! ]

Yeah? They're seventeen, right? So it would be pretty much the same as you and me. Age difference-wise, I mean.

[ OBVIOUSLY. ]

["You and me!?" What are you saying whilst accepting darts? He blinks, considering this take on the age gap.]

O-Oh... huh, you think so?

[Yoosung sits back, putting a hand behind his head.]

Well, I'm not saying it could never work out. If it's for the person I like, I'd wait... I'm the loyal type, you know.

[ ??

He's saying you're good friends and he forgets you're older than him so obviously three years objectively isn't a big deal at this stage in your lives?? ]

Yeah, I know you are! I don't think you need to worry about it anyway, I kind of doubt they're going to come by and ask us out on a double date or something.

[ Though man, that would be pretty cool. And terrifying. Aaand they'd probably end up backing out at the last minute and pretending to be sick.

Aims a dart... Maybe he'll try not closing his left eye this time. ]

[Pretending to be sick is a lot harder of a "coincidence" to pull off if there are two of them.... don't throw him to the sexy robot wolves!! But this would still never happen.]

Pff, yeah no way, I'm not worried about that. You're the one who was questioning me on it!

[He just answered honestly!! But yeah, let's see how he does with this dart. Can he get the other eye.]

[ Tell him about it.

.................................
.................................

Well, it kind of lands in the eyelashes. ]

That doesn't really count, does it?

[RIP your life, Mishima...]

Umm... well, the eyelash is still on the eye! Let's not be too picky about it!
