[The camera clicks on to Maya waving wildly in the halls of Oska. Jin is also in the room, standing… awkwardly off to the side, having clearly been strong armed into all this mess by the camera woman herself]

Hey guys! Especially new people! Jin and I are gonna do a virtual tour of Oska so you guys know where everything is!

[jin gives a half-hearted wave to the camera, he was trying to go to the library maya please let him live?????]

So here’s a door, and here’s a wall, and here’s--

[The camera tilts around, showing-- a ladder propped up against a wall, and she’s immediately distracted]

Hey, it’s a ladder!

[Jin, just visible in the background of the shot, turns to the camera with an eyebrow raised]

Actually, Maya, that looks more like a stepladder than a ladder.

[Maya’s been through this song and dance, so she just puffs out her cheeks a little bit!] So? What’s the difference? You need to stop judging things based off of narrow-minded cultural assumptions!

What’s so narrow-minded about it? There are clearly steps on it. It’s a stepladder. There’s a difference.

[oh no the ladder discourse] I’m telling you, it’s the same thing! Don’t get weird about this!! [like Phoenix did smh]

You’re the one who’s getting weird about this, they’re not the same! [does he actually care this much? Is he just arguing to prove a point? ARE THEY BOTH JUST TRYING TO PROVE A POINT………]

[Maya puffs her cheeks out like an angry hamster. Obviously, this is going to get them nowhere. She has to defeat him another way--]

You! Hey, you! [She points at the camera, yeah, she mean you, bub] What do you think it is?

[And thus the discourse begins… Is your character Team Ladder, or Team Stepladder?]

[ HELLO SILENCE







what a beautiful sound, he missed you so ]

3/3

[bladefaire]

[ but okay, he should probably at least try and say thanks or something

BACK ON IT GOES. ]

.....Thank you.

[pummelling]

That's what I'm here for.

[you did your best, lonk.]

[bladefaire]

[ he finds that hard to believe, tbqh ]

Then why are you arguing about the correct classification of ladders?

[pummelling]

Why are you and Maya all still getting on me for the stepladder? My argument was solid.

[jin thats not what he was asking]

[bladefaire]

[ sorry jin, he's defaulting to team ladder ]

Because it's clearly a type of ladder.

[pummelling]

[SIGHS HEAVILY AND RUBS HIS FOREHEAD]

[bladefaire]

[ sorry you're on the LOSING team ]

[feytality]

I KNEW you were team ladder!!!

[she's so proud of you, woman-hater]

You might have bad taste in genders but you've got your head in the right place for ladders!

sorry val

[pummelling]

....Wait.

So he's--

[feytality]

[Helpfully:]

He hates girls, or so he keeps telling me. He dropped me on my face the first time we met.

[because she fell on him due to being stupid.... she's just going to conveniently omit that part]

[pummelling]

Oh.

[Doesn't rule it out but ok.jpg]

He hates girls so much he dropped you on your face? Yikes.

[feytality]

Pretty much.

But even with so much contempt for the fairer sex in his heart, he still.... he still chose the right path! That's his conviction to ladders for you!

[pummelling]

Sounds more like a conviction to misogyny.

[jin, have you even played fe:a, that's wrong]

[feytality]

Better than a conviction to misladdering!

[get off tumblr maya]

[bladefaire]

[ THIS IS SLANDER OF THE HIGHEST ORDER ]

She was falling from the sky. If I hadn't caught her, she would have broken more than her ego!

[pummelling]

A likely story, womanhater.

[bladefaire]

[ what the heck!!!!!!!!!! ]

I don't hate women, they simply make me uncomfortable.

[pummelling]

That's what they all say.

[womanhater]

[bladefaire]

[ fite him



but actually, don't, he's going to latch onto this with a small shred of hope. ]

—Do you know of others who suffer from this affliction as well?

i'm still sorry val

[pummelling]

You could say that.

[thats not where he's going with this jin dont--]

If I'm bein' honest? You probably just aren't into girls.

[bladefaire]

[ DON'T NONCON HIM INTO SAYING THESE THINGS anyway he's gonna imnmediately backtrack. ]

I never said that. And I do not have bad taste in genders.

[feytality]

[HE KIND OF SAID IT!!]

You did though! You called it a ladder!

If you really don't like girls, then it's bad taste.

[but since she's eavesdropping on his other convo the little hamster in her head is running]
