It's kind of up to you, Escha. [Its going to be awkward no matter what, he figures. ] If you don't want to deal with it, Dick can take the couch and I'll take the floor.
Uh. Don't you think both of us might be a little much? ["For her" goes unsaid, but like. Hm.] But...yeah. It's okay if you don't, but we don't want to put you in an awkward position.
That's not what I'm saying! [Then what are you saying, Junpei?] Also don't. Read the book. The book is useless, please just ask us next time. [He pinches the bridge of his nose.] Anyway. ...there are ways to do it involving three people. What Dick was trying to say was that we're both okay with the idea. I think.
Okay that--that one doesn't count! [Except there's literally nothing he can do? And he's just. Annoyed. And also aroused and also blatantly aware this is his own fault. Give him a second to take a breath.]
Except you kind of deserve it for showing off. [Dick. As in the descriptor, not the name. He glances at Escha though, thoughtful even while keeping his lust under control by pointedly turning his back on Dick.] Really wish there was a less weird way to say it, but if you want to try something that's not in the book, it's probably better to do it with people you trust anyway.
"Showing off"? [ he's giving junpei a Look, but he gets immediately distracted by-- escha just patting junpei, and he's not sure if he's more surprised or a little bit jealous.
the jealous is mostly the horny talking, so he's not acknowledging that. ]
[WHY DOES HE GET TO BE THE ONE WHO GETS HIT WITH BOTH OF THEM FIRST? It's obvious that the effect immediately hits, given the way he goes stiff (haha) the moment Escha touches his shoulder.
God. He can at least try to restrain himself long enough for a conversation even if his mind is wandering thinking about the both of them, a heated sort of arousal unfurling in his stomach as he folds his arms over his chest.]
...they don't cancel each other out. [Like. Just a friendly reminder. His throat's dry and he sucks in a breath through his teeth. He's trying to count to ten to test his own resolve? He gets to about eight and quits.] Okay, just so we're clear? I'm not doing this by myself. Not like this.
[ Escha's demeanor doesn't change much - she's still in Research Mode, but a blush spreads across her cheeks. Her eyes dart to Junpei, then away again. ]
Oh, I know!
[ Just to even things out, Escha reaches out a hand for Dick. That was the problem, right? Solved! ]
[ i'm glad dick gets to have this be cute, and he's holding back a laugh at junpei-- he can be turned on and still think his annoyance is cute funny, it's fine-- when escha reaches for him. his smile turns a bit stuff and he grabs her hand, holding it gently for a second.
wow this is not the kind of movement that he usually associates with extra horny. damn. he feels bad for making fun of junpei for a second. ]
There you go, JT. Problem solved?
[ it starts a whole new set of problems, but. dick doesn't quite mind right now? someone tell him to stop wearing his stupid mask already. ]
[...hah. Good. Escha's being innocent and Junpei's just going to laugh because the whole situation's so stupid but...there's a light grin.]
Mm...mostly. [He takes a step closer, a hand resting on Escha's shoulder and the other hand coming up to pull at Dick's mask.] Still not fond of this. Escha, what do you think? Should the mask come off?
[ junpei hasn't pulled it off yet, but dick's making no attempt to stop him-- though junpei's close enough he can see the hint of a blush as dick laughs a bit, awkward ]

oh my god okay just detach yourself from the situation and be clinical, nightwing, you can do this ]
... Escha, physical contact with anyone this week leads to-- [ FUCK ]-- um, to a sudden increased state of arousal.
no subject
It doesn't last longer than an hour, maybe, but...it's pretty intense. Most people sort of just give in after a while.
no subject
[ ......... ]
O-oh. Then I guess that's why...
no subject
... Yeah. We all felt it. [ he pauses, and-- ] Will feel it again at some point, probably, but it... doesn't have to happen now if you don't want to?
[ is this more or less embarrassing than asking her to stay while junpei fucked demons out of him? mysterious. ]

no subject
No, I don't want to have that argument again. That doesn't sound comfortable at all.
no subject
-- Escha, do you want to have sex with us tonight? Either or both or-- that's what we've been trying to, to ask.
no subject

It's true that it might be a little much. The book didn't really go into detail with this kind of scenario.
[ Sex For Dummies does not, in fact, cover threesomes, and as a researcher, Escha is offended. ]
no subject
Then you clarify what we thought she meant next time! [ DON'T BE PICKY ON HIS WORDING IF YOU WON'T TALK FIRST, ASSHOLE,
and then escha says that and he's. uh. god. he's dying. someone else take the wheel he's not used to this being awkward ]
no subject
That's not what I'm saying! [Then what are you saying, Junpei?] Also don't. Read the book. The book is useless, please just ask us next time.

[ Hmm... She looks like she's considering this. For the Research™......... ]
So you know stuff the book doesn't?
no subject
he has to be an asshole about it. ]
Well, I know I do. Not 100% sure about that guy. [ he points to junpei with his thumb and a grin ]
no subject
That doesn't happen because Junpei's response is to push on Dick's face to shut him up before realizing a hot-second later that's a bad idea.]
no subject
laughs. ]
no subject
hello horny my old friend........i've come to lie with you again...... ]
Well that settles part of the question.
[ KINDA HARD TO SEPARATE THEM NOW, THANKS, JUNPEI ]

That sounds reasonable.
