he's been doing a general exploration of the new areas of the basement floors before coming to a stop at the pool area, where he can get a clear look out at the ocean all around them. he just looks a bit bemused by it all. ]
That'd explain the nausea, but makes it harder to figure out where we are...
[ nikkari's kind of blindsided by it all; while he's never been on a boat himself, he's still aware of what they are... just, you know. the boats he's used to are more like this than the luxury liner they're currently on. ]
Truthfully, I'm a little more surprised we weren't able to tell at all. The wonders of modern engineering, I suppose...
It wouldn't be much of a luxury cruise if it was so easily moved around on the water than the halls were constantly vomit-filled, would it? Although usually you're aware you're on a ship, so you can avoid most of the nausea in the first place.
[ he'd thought they were being drugged. this is almost a let down. ]
It’d be a little too easy if we could pinpoint our location. Communication outside is down, but there’s always a chance someone could break through that and let us send a message. Our captors would be a little caught out if we were able to tell someone where we though we were.
[ when shiraishi arrives at the clinic at the designated time, he'll find that nikkari is already there, dressed in a familiar outfit with an entire assortment of items spread out on the counter. whatever kinky thing shiraishi can think of, nikkari has probably brought along.
rip. ]
Haha... I told you that I'd see you again soon, didn't I?
he stops in the doorway, glances over at all the stuff on the table with a brief flicker of his eyes, before looking back at nikkari. y’know he’s probably safe here if he needs to flee, right?
[ as usual, nikkari just pleasantly smiles as shiraishi gives the table a look over. this is totally normal, what are you talking about? ]
You said you were curious, didn't you? I wanted to make sure we had a few options, in case you happened to be opposed to any particular item. Not to mention... [ he holds up his own clamshell. ] Perhaps we could help each other complete our objectives?
I see. This came through at a good time for you then, hm? [ he glances at his own clamshell for a moment, before tilting his head like he's weighing his options. ]
I have no particular draw towards anything. But you seem to have plenty - care to explain a couple?
Truthfully, I'm not quite sure what some of them are myself... but I'm sure we can learn by trial and error.
[ like. what the fuck is a spreader bar? he has no idea but he sure grabbed it Just Because. ]
Do you have anything on your card pertaining to something here? As you so helpfully stated during the last trial, we've never slept together, so we already fulfill the requirements for the middle square... [ he looks back down at his card... ] Hm. Do you prefer being dominant or submissive?
[ he says this as easily as he'd talk about the weather. ]
Hm... let me phrase it in a different way, then. Which would you rather try? I am just as comfortable in either role... though, I will give you fair warning. [ he flashes shiraishi a dangerous grin. ] If you allow me to be the dominant partner, I cannot guarantee you'll end the night without bruises.
[ like. he's at least being upfront about it! swords just be like this, i'm sorry to say, ]
[ ... he can't help but let a low chuckle out at that. is shiraishi a glutton for pain or is he just very open-minded...? ]
Well. It would help if I knew what "within reason" means for you, Shiraishi-san. For all I know, we could have completely different ideas of what's acceptable and what isn't... it's hard to gauge that sort of thing for humans, you know?

I suppose none of the landmarks that we can see help in any way.

It seems quite carefully anonymous.

You did, indeed. Special occasion planned?

Hmm. [ he's looking at his card as well. ] The middle square seems fine. And I have never had an opinion on domming or subbing in my life.

Bruising isn't the worst thing someone can do to someone else. [ are you trying to be intimidating, nikkari? ] Do as you wish. Within reason.
