I'm an acquired taste.

[ If his grandfather's cape fits - ]

I assume there's a point to this beyond exchanging insults.

I think pointing out that you're an acquired taste is actually in its generosity a compliment.

( it presumes someone has or will acquire him. as a taste, despite the total lack of evidence to support. see? being nice. basically a Nice Person, right now. )

And a creative one at that. Impressive.

Seriously, though, we should rewrite your Cuddlr profile.

I'm open to suggestion.

First of all, do you have any pictures of yourself?

There are people here that want me dead. No faces.

[ Still, he sends her a file, part out of obstinacy and part in curiosity. ]

( huh. he looks like a creepier adam. )

Okay, first of all, they can't kill you here, they can just harangue you on the internet.

Secondly, definitely not wearing that expression. What if you had a picture taken with your back to the camera? Looking out at something. Artsy. That says 'I'm moody...and interesting, if you like hipsters', instead of 'I'm moody...and the management are going to have to have a word with me when no one will hold my hand because of it'.

[ He'd really not appreciate the comparison on several dozen levels. Just wait until he comes back sporting his "I have a great personality, honest" scar. ]

I can think of at least one of them that would still try. [ Just as well that she's actually no longer in Eudio because if ever there was someone that could provoke him into breaking the rules, it'd be Rey.

He rubs at the bridge of his nose. ]

I'll consider it.

We'll circle back to that.

Secondly, what are you interested in? How are you spending your time? What kind of conversations do you want to have?

[ Since "none" isn't really an option, and especially in light of his earlier remarks, he has to pause and think this over far more than he'd really like. Condensing his list of interests down into something more palatable is going to be a challenge for someone of even Gwen's talents. ]

Reading. [ The first thing that comes to mind. It's not a lie, even, though these days it's limited to obscure arcane texts and bitchy communiques from General Hux while he's on an away mission. ]

Language. Travel. It's been pointed out that Eudio affords a rare opportunity to learn about other worlds and times. Cards.

Now we're getting somewhere. Languages and travel are good hooks - people love talking about themselves and their interests. If they can relate them to yours, bang, you've got yourself a conversation starter for this thing that might even get you some intelligent conversation.

Here's something else I'm going to point out about Eudio: you don't know why everyone's here, and there are a lot of people in Eudio. Do you know how many of them give a damn about your incentive? It's one. It's just you. If you're stomping around like oooh I'm too cool for this, I only want one thing, sure. A couple of people with low self esteem will probably fuck you, it's just statistics, there's always some dipshit who doesn't realise they can do better. But most of the people you might actually enjoy spending some time with are going to be spending time with people whose introduction doesn't make the spending time part sound like an unpleasant obligation they're just going to have to deal with. They're going to talk to people who seem interested in talking to them, and those are the people who are going to get laid.

You are going to get what you put into this place. One hundred percent, start to finish.

[ It's no doubt become embarrassingly clear that, when it comes right down to it, that there's more than just obstinacy at work here. It's not that Ren's completely inept when it comes to people ㅡ rather the opposite, in fact ㅡ but the circumstances here are entirely different, and he might be floundering a little more than he is willing to admit.

Gwen's pointed logic just serves to drive home the point further. Jaw set: ]

The reminder has been noted.

[ Begrudgingly. So very, very begrudgingly. ]

Have you had much fortune yourself?

[ He might have discreetly peeked. ]

( mmm, tastes of sullen. gwen visualises the expression he might have 'noted' it with and takes the victory. )

I haven't had any complaints, but it does help that I'm a lot prettier than you.

And that I'm not really looking for the same thing as most people here, in my experience. Like I understand a little better, now, people who've got some Terribly Important Thing they need to Achieve, but I just come here recreationally. It's conceptually fascinating on like, every single level, and it's nice to have somewhere to go when you need a time out from your life where time doesn't pass.

[ Fingers curl under his chin as he considers this. ]

As you say, I'm an acquired taste. I confess, I hadn't expected to encounter such an astute student of human nature on a dating app of all things. Are you an actual academic or is this just a hobby?

I'm an artist. The two things are often similar, I think. Depending on the art you create.

You've picked a unique medium.

I'm a poet, among other things.

That would explain the way with words. I don't think I've been insulted both eloquently and directly before. I'd be impressed if I weren't quite so irritated.

Well, the irritation will fade.

( will it )

[ Will it, Gwen. Will it really? ]

When that happens I'll be sure to relay my appreciation.

How's your new Cuddlr profile coming along?

The temptation to do this all in Aurebesh steadily rises.

I am prepared to reward you with food and alcohol if you take this seriously.

( somehow 'dickhead' is still kind of implied????? )

[ Look, selling himself isn't really a strong point of his. Know what he does well? Punch things. Punch things and reach the really high shelves. ]

"Scholar and soldier. Interested in learning about other world's and the people that inhabit them.
