[A selfie is put under the post. It feature a handsome, but emotionless, deadpanned man with short black hair and deep crimson eyes. With a straight face, he's holding up a peace sign, next to what appears to be a tickle mehehe sleeping on his bed.

...Is this "Koro-chan"? That can't be, right? That face doesn't match the typing style at all!]

Back home, I'd just eat these calorie blocks made with synthetic animal proteins and nutrients. Here, I... have to get by with raw meat. So I've been volunteering at the local butcher in exchange for being able to eat whatever left of each carcass that they don't want to use.

I used to cook regularly when I was much younger, so my skills with a knife come in handy. However rusty they can be.

[There isn't terribly much of a tell in his expression, save for a subtle pinch in his brow and a similarly small downward turn of his lips.]

I've eaten today, so I'm fine for a while.

I can, but my body doesn't utilize it completely. Something about the cooking process makes it harder to absorb everything. If it's done beyond just "rare" or "blue rare," I pull less nutrients in. And the only meat I refuse to eat raw is poultry, fish and pork. Unless the stuff is questionably fresh, I simply don't because I don't taste a significant enough difference to care.

[If only his energy needs could be fulfilled by something as enjoyable as fucking. Alas.]

[The comment about him not having a happy life prompts Glenn's expression to twist up in a grimace, a bark of wry laughter slipping out.]

You could say that.

[There's no point in elaborating, though.]

I'm pretty much limited to that if I want to get away with minimal cooking. For whatever reason, my body's fine with that.

No, I wasn't offended. Your statement was merely on the nose. I'm not far off.

[Glenn manages a bit of a smile.]

Prepare?

[Why feel bad? It's just a factoid about his life?]

Very well. See you then.

[He disconnects, but not before offering a bit of a smile. It doesn't take him long to find Koro's place. He uses a few fingertips to test the material of the door before knocking as gently as he can. The sound resounds a little louder than he intended. He winces, and then calls out,] Koro? Glenn here.

WHA--

[T THE FUCK??

[How did Koro get there without him hearing?!

[Glenn takes a breath to calm down first, cheeks burning slightly in embarrassment for his outburst.]


Ah. Yeah, that's a really-- I gotcha. Shouldn't be too hard.

[Just. Gonna let Koro let himself in first, and then follow inside. Once he's in, he starts looking around.]

Show me where you started noticing the leak, if you don't mind?

Oof. Yeah, let's see. Bathroom first.

[Deciding to avoid getting his whole kimono wet, Glenn tugs his kimono off and just leaves on he hakama, draping the former garment over the closest, driest bit of furniture (if he has any. Otherwise, well, floor's better than wet with who knows what water.)

[And well, there's a shitton of scarring everywhere on his body (seems he had enough luck to somehow spare his nipples, at least.) But he makes a point to pretend he doesn't notice that his body looks fucked up while he inspects the main leak in the bathroom, using tentacles and eyestalks to look and feel around, until he stuffs one each of the former and latter right into the leaking piping.

[Despite all the same-ness of the scars, there are a few that stand out: namely, the scarring of more than one gunshot(?) wound through his chest, over his heart, and exiting out his back.]

Does what hurt?

[There's no reaction to him being touched. It's only until he looks at Koro and then where his arm is he's being touched, that he understands. And all at once, he realizes it might look suspicious to act like he was touched all along.]

...Oh. Sorry. No, the nerves are severed, so can't feel it even if it does hurt. I only have sensation remaining from the neck up and... another couple of places.

[His cheeks turn briefly pink to admit that much.]

I also have sensation in my tentacles. That's about it.

[He looks again to where Koro's touch is, brow furrowing. His lips tug into an attempt at a smile, but fails to last more than a second.]

...Looks like you're using a gentle touch, so I can remember what that feels like, at least.

[Fortunately, he can still work like this. And bit by bit, he finds the leak and starts to seal it up with some of his cells.]

Well...

[Glenn looks down at himself, and then back to Koro. His lips quirk playfully.]

I still seem very real right now, right?

Cells are very small things. Now, regarding my mass, I'm still only using a very small amount of that, too.

I've used much more to fix my ship. A few tiny repairs aren't hard on me at all.

[Thinking for a moment, he tilts his head.]

Don't let my lack of feeling sit too poorly, okay? I can still feel if you pat my head and stuff.

[Look, headpats are really nice, okay?]

Okay-- bathroom's clear. On to leak number two...

[Thankfully, he doesn't have to move anywhere to reach it. He snakes his mass further along the pipes, checking for the next leak, and then takes care of that quickly.]

Two more, and then we can test it by briefly running the water to make sure there aren't more than expected. And to make sure I did the repairs right.

[Once they're done, Glenn lets out a sigh as he retracts his tentacles, about to suggest that they run the water to make sure that everything works as it should.

[And then Koro says that. It's so far out of left field to Glenn's perception that he just kind of... stands there, staring at him, jaw slightly slack and eyes wide.

[It takes little time at all for a blush to creep up his neck and into his hairline. His ears are not at all spared of this fate.]


Th-that's...

[Eloquent of him. He sighs, clears his throat, and gives a bit of a nod.]

...Yes. I am capable of that. My tentacles are as well, since I can give them whatever kinds of nerve endings I want. When it came to my scarring, I was capable of... somewhat redirecting where I wanted them to go. And... I figured that the most important places I should leave my skin unmarred is my head and my groin.

[But if one looks, even his nipples have no scarring.]

Is there-- a reason you ask? Or is it just curiosity?

[That blush sure isn't going away anytime soon, because now he's thinking about it.]

...

[To his credit, the only sign that Glenn is affected by the deadpan performance is that his lips slightly part as if he jaw wants to drop. But it doesn't. Instead, he approaches without a word, looking him over carefully as his body shivers. It's not like the display was particularly arousing, but the offer alone is enough to rile him.

[It's hard to tell Koro's body language. He doesn't quite smell like a human. Maybe his earlier comments about not recommending anyone look at his real form, and only able to turn into a handsome man, has more merit as truth than as a joke. He'll have to ask about it, but later.

[So, his hand touches Koro's cheek, a faint chuckle escaping him. Although he can't feel the other man's skin, he remedies that by stroking a similar spot just below with a (clean!) tentacle.]


There's no need for the pornography theatrics.

[It's not chiding - just a comment, bland and unassuming.]

I've never done this with another person, though only my own tentacles. I'm afraid my resistance is lacking in spades, after so long of nothing and no one. Embarrassingly to say, you're looking at a nearly 300-year-old virgin, in terms of body.

[Without pulling away, he shuffles slightly to use another couple of tentacles to pull his boots off. Playfully, he spawns another tentacle, this one's tip taking the shape of a hollow, lubricant-laden flower. There's a sweet scent that smells just like Glenn's coming from it, but cloying and inviting. He doesn't, however, shove it in Koro's face, content to let him see from a distance.]

But, in terms of mind, I've been using these in ways you can only find in pornography. And I can feel through them as if they're connected to erogenous zones.

[Glenn might argue with himself that this is too soon to jump into bed with anyone, but the part of him that's desperate to feel anyone touching him after so, so very long, is screaming way too loudly, drowning out that sense of reason.

[But just like that, his playfulness gives way to shyness and uncertainty.]


...Please touch me? You have my consent.

[From other people? No. But it's still a good call not to comment on that. Glenn lets Koro pull him in, still a little flushed. He can't feel those arms around his waist, sadly, and... it's one thing he can't imagine anymore, either.

[He does, however, feel that stroking sensation over a tentacle, and he draws in a shuddering breath, body shivering.]


Mostly. Groin and pubic area, the upper part of my inner thighs, and...

[His lips twitch as his blush darkens.]

From there to my anus, and internally, also.

I'm also able to reroute the nerves in my tentacles to other places. But as a whole, they're.. incredibly sensitive. And-- capable of receiving sexual stimulation.

[The one that Koro touches doesn't take long to start leaking a transparent liquid. It smells like the same stuff clinging to that flower appendage.

[Glenn's voice is low as he goes on,]
...My sexual fluids are also capable of acting as a mild aphrodisiac to boost sensitivity, as well as bolstering the integrity of whatever that fluid smears against -- that is to say, so that if I'm too rough with a potential partner, I don't injure them in delicate places. It can make them temporarily as malleable as me there.

--So I learned from conducting tests against sampled materials I found.

[In hindsight, maybe this isn't sexy, but it seems important to convey all the same.]

I, uh... also manifest small tentacles in my pubic area. They act similarly, but... they're separate of my active control, and tend to be clingy. I can kind of influence them, but it's mostly just "grab and move them."

I-- I hope that's okay. I can't... hide them or anything.

[Honestly, even up front like this, he feels nervous, but he knows that disclosing quirks like that is for the best. He doesn't want Koro to feel surprised in a bad way. This way, he knows what he's in for.]
