[approaching in the warehouse! it's awkward. the vibe is just awkward dread.]

Hey, um, Kyoko...

[factoring]

[ She's just sitting in her gamer chair and vibing. Her own emotions are at a calm hum. ]

Yes?

[medeian]

[just as awkwardly:]

The, um... You know. The new rule.

[factoring]

[ Relaxed static. ]

Please give me your hand.

[medeian]

[she's embarrassed and uncertain, but she follows that request.]

I'll, um, get you next.

[factoring]

It's a deal.

[ She bites lightly down on the back of Libby's hand, and then offers her own in return.

There's no part of her that's embarrassed by the action. ]

[medeian]

[libby is probably embarrassed enough for the both of them, but she still reaches for kyoko's hand after hers has been bitten to perform the same motion.]

...Thanks.

[factoring]

[The gloves are still on, but the rule didn't require skin to skin.]

Not a problem. I wonder who decided on a rule like that.

[medeian]

I guess the point of us being here is to test us.

[kind of annoyed, but there's a wave of determination and eagerness when she says that, too.]

[factoring]

Test our willingness to follow the rules as they're set out in front of us?

[medeian]

Or just give us another task we need to complete.

[factoring]

Do you know anybody who didn't complete the one from last week?
