Those are sacred, not meant to be seen by any eyes other than your own.
"That sounds sick. But uh, question." Cal nods along after you finish talking. "What's an Ohsee?"
Lorelei holds up her straw after eating another scoop of the dwindling slush. "It's short for Original Character. Basically a character you make up yourself."
"Aren't they all ones someone made up themselves? How come you don't just call 'em characters?"
"Mostly to separate them from characters other people have made. Like if I was to put one of Ace's OCs into one of my stories, I wouldn't want to try and pass them off as one I made myself. Like a respect thing."
"Huh... So are rpg characters OCs too?"
The witch taps the side of her head as she thinks, then gives a firm nod. "I'd say so. Looks like you have OCs too!"
"Heh, cool. I got OCs..." Calamitas grins to herself, a whole new world in her mind ready to be explored.
>Ask what kind of RPGs the tall one plays.Your question catches her in her moment of distraction, metaphorically climbing the colossus to strike her weak point and get an uninhibited answer out of her!
"Oh man, tons! I really love the ones where you get to design your own dudes and pick their skills and all that. I always like seein' what the max damage I can do in one swing is, but playin' with funny builds is the best."
Calamitas chuckles to herself, then points at you with that grin still stuck on her face.
"There's this one I've been playin' a lot lately. You don't really get to make your dude at the start, but basically you're a cute little vampire guy who eats souls or somethin' instead of blood. So like, when you're fightin' guys, you can take their skills and build your own skill list out of 'em. And then you've got the party who's all freaky monsters that get special skills and sidequests and- pretty much it's awesome."
Lorelei leans forwards, interest on her face. "What's it called?"
"Har- um..." Cal abruptly cuts herself off, the title snapping her out of speaking so freely. "...I-I don't really wanna say the name out loud. It's... kinda a weird name. But, uh, you could probably find it if you look up a game like that. Yeah."
You're pretty sure you've heard of the game before. She's right, it's a title even you'd be a little embarrassed to say in front of others. And yes, there are dating sim elements.
>Try to think up something you enjoy in the same second-hand embarrassing way. Maybe it'd help her open up a little easier.>Ask Lorelei about some of her favorite books. Nothing like sharing favorites with friends to see if they'd enjoy them too!>Check the time. You don't think your sister will be home until way later, but their parents might start to wonder where they are.>Write-in
