can i ask u something :0

What is it, detective?

is there a homo-sexual ear

A homo-sexual *ear*?

[He's grateful this is just a text conversation. It takes all his effort to not break out into laughter.]

The right ear. This is a well-known fact to all members of the homo-sexual underground.

i cant believe everyone knows this i need a manifesto or something there has to be guides for homo-sexuals or bi-sexuals with amnesia right

Maybe you ought to plan a trip to the library. I've heard there are a few homo-sexual manifestos squirreled away in the back shelves.

okay

i guess ill go on the way back

Back from what?

piercing place

record shop downtown does them

Did you ask me this question to decide what ear(s) you want pierced?

yeah?

was that wrong

No, no. It's not wrong.

[It's just funny.]

Out of curiosity, what did you get pierced?

ears

it’s kind of weird because of the feather situation

Both of them? You know what that means, detective, don't you?

i got the homo sexual ear done but then i was worried women might not know i like them too im an equal opportunity kind of guy

what does it mean?

Why didn’t he fully talk this through with Kim beforehand??

[Equal....opportunity..........]

It means you now have two ears pierced, like a normal person who would chose to get their ears pierced. And, of course, that you are bi-sexual. Congratulations.

[He is 100% joking. The trouble is if Harry will get that.]

If EDC was still psychic he’d get the joke. Unfortunately he can’t read Kim’s body language and right now Rhetoric is suffering.

ok i thought it was something bad for a second

i dont think anyone will think im normal for very long though

so every guy with two ears pierced is bi-sexual?

Don't be ridiculous. Only *some* guys with two ears pierced are bi-sexual. Don't think about it too hard, though. It's not productive to obsess about other people's sexualities....

Detective, I don't think you ever *were* normal.

i know im trying not to obsess i just feellike im lagging behind like im going to flunk bi sexuality and i know i used to know some of these things

like i remembered looking at guys ears in clubs

yeah i think thats right from what i remember

always heard voices if thats what you mean

You can't *flunk* bi-sexuality. It just...is. You don't get *graded* on how good of a homo-sexual you are.

[If they did, Kim would most certainly be failing, if they were grading based on the ratio of romantic trysts over the years....]

Anyways, I think you're overthinking this. Just take it one step at a time.

The first thing he writes is an apology. He erases that with a frown. That isn’t right. It kind of is. He is sorry basically all the time. But it’s not right.

INTERFACING - (Look, I just do what I’m told.)

thank you

For a lot of things. Too many to reasonably list.

“Kim…”

Harry has approached him dramatically, waiting for him to finish his evening cigarette. His face is very serious- but also a bit pink. Which is notable, Harry does a lot of things without being nervous but matters pertaining to the Underground or small things Kim might not think of sometimes can make him fumble.

“I need you to style me.”

Kim pauses, turning slowly to face Harry. His glasses perfectly rest on the bridge of his little capybara nose, glinting in the light. His ear twitches slightly. His expression may seem unamused, but really, it's quite difficult for a capybara to emote.

"You want me to style you?"

There's a tinge of amusement and incredulity in the lieutenant's voice. He removes the cigarette from between his horrible little rodent teeth and flicks some ash away. This must be a continuation of the "style buddies" thing from all those months ago.

"This wouldn't happen to do with the ball that was announced on the network, does it?"

“Alfred’s?” His voice breaks a little on the name. “Totally not. It’s absolutely not about his thing. Haha.”

[Wait why am I lying?]

DRAMA - (Sire, I’m always in favor of lying for no reason but I’m afraid this just looks very silly.)

HALF LIGHT - (You’re clearly nervous. He can smell it on you.)

SUGGESTION - (Play it off as a joke, just run with it.)

COMPOSURE - (That’s even more awkward.)

“Yeah, okay. It’s for the ball. Kim, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a ball before? What do people even wear to balls?”

He glances at his watch, his head slightly tilted to the side. He's trying to hide a smirk on his face.

"Formal attire, usually. Something fancy to fit in with the other guests...though, I haven't ever been to a ball of this sort of caliber before."

He's never been to a ball ball, one where you get dressed in proper attire and consort with others while being served hors d'oeuvres. Instead, he has a recollection of an evening spent in a crumbling, half-maintained ballroom, the stench of sweat clinging to his nose, iridescent disco lights illuminating the pre-revolutionary molding, and glitter. Lots of glitter. Kim stood on the edge of the ballroom for a long time before a drag queen wearing a blue, frilly dress attempted to coax him out from the shadows and onto the dance floor.

He had fun. It was a nice memory, overall. But it gives him little impression of what to work from, here. He takes a small step back, gauging Harry's current outfit. What is he wearing, if anything?

"You'll be fine, so long as you wear something that you like--and is appropriate for the occasion. You've always had a...unique sense of style."

Looks like he'll need a little convincing before agreeing to be Harry's style buddy.
