audio; during the valentine's event

[whethertheyshould]

I've done some asking around, and if you're wondering why you were targeted or bitten by the, ah, the so-called 'cherubs', I've pretty much narrowed it down to you being in love. I don't know if trying to not feel loving feelings helps, however. I would say it couldn't hurt to try, but I think what hurts a lot less than that is simply avoiding the areas where they are gathering, which is in the hallways.

[Whoops, the player totally missed that. We'll just say Alia's was locked.]

Unfortunately, none of these listed are subtle.

[ Ian realizes Alia put a lock on the reply moments later and relaxes in relief. He worries about people being punished for being human and engaging in human indulgences like a relationship. ]

Unfortunately, yes. But it's unfortunate that we are being punished for natural human tendencies.

[It's to his credit, really. Alia will never blame anyone for a bit of anxiety about others' safety. Or the failures of her player.]

I wonder if there's some way we might change that. Or at least convince Corporate to look the other way.

[whethertheyshould]

Convincing Corporate? An interesting idea. How would you propose we would accomplish that?

[xrater]

Good question. For something other than providing a powerpoint essay on the Sacred Band of Thebes, I'll have to think about it for a while.

I'm afraid you may have to come up with more than just that, yes. Corporate seems distinctly uninterested in history.
