@Hyper Harlequin"Riley, what did I tell you?!?! That's not real-life and you should stop watching it before it rots your brain. Also, I can't even begin to tell why that is an idea that will end in terrible, terrible outcomes for everyone involved."

@Ermine Swarmta Claus

She knows when you are sleeping. She knows when you're awake. She knows when you've been bad or good.

So be good for goodness sake.

@Grey Shudder.

Santa Faust.
You'd better watch out. You'd better not cry. You'd better not pout. I'm telling you why.

Network Claus.
He's making a list. Checking it twice. Gonna find out if you're naughty or nice.

@Ermine
"Only little people are okay with prostitutes? Does that mean human height is tied to sexual proclivities?" -snickers to herself-

@Raijinslayer
"But you seem to enjoy yourself when you watch it. I can smell your excitement, you know."

@Grey
Comparing yourself to a supernatural old man that stalks children while they sleep... Classic.

EDIT: I want to believe that as Riley starts to figure out how sarcasm works she starts to mess with people. If she's anything like me then she'll have a lot of fun casually pushing people's buttons ^~^

@Hyper Harlequin "Not their height, per se." -facepalm- "Not from the bottom of their toes to the tops of their heads. Point is, they're not the kind of people you want to emulate."

@Hyper Harlequin

"Okay, people. For some reason, my browser's history is filled with porn again. If somebody tries this shit again, I will find this joker and... "

@Tengri "And...give them what they clearly want?"

@Hyper HarlequinIan actually doesn't watch porn, and tries to avoid excessive stimulation when he can help it(hence his liberal use of anasthetic spit when on dates that could go down a path he doesn't feel ready for, but he doesn't want to turn the girl down and make 'em feel bad.) He only looks up that stuff when he wants to bug Network.

@Hyper Harlequin "You're going on the naughty list, Riley."
@Raijinslayer "Ian, there are better ways to 'bug' Network."

@Raijinslayer
I meant more when Riley shows porn to him directly. Like with the shipart scene. Otherwise I just implied that she stalks Ian while he masturbates >.>

@Ermine
"But they make a significant amount of money and I've been told that money is very important to your society. What is it that makes this prostitution illicit?"

@Grey"I don't have an army of creepy-crawlies, so I make do with what I have. Besudes, I know there are more ways. You think this is all I do to get a rise out of him? Pssh, I'm no amatuer. Just wait until I get my habds on sone demon bugs. *que evil chuckles, followed by silence as Ian remembers how he needs to get said books*

@Ermine"Andrea, would you let me see your hell vokks if I tell you what Swarm's kinks/i trests are?"

@Hyper Harlequin How often does she do that, exactly? Also, . . . actually nevermind. Not gonna ask.

Edit:"Prostitution is illegal because it's a vile practice run by scum who don't care for the men, women, anfd sometimes even children that they prddle out to sick fteaks who dezerve nothing but the worst and most painful tortures that hell has to offer. It's dehumanizung, objectifying, and wrong on every level."

Ian has strong feelings about this topic since a close family friend kind of got caught up in it. Taking down her Pimopwas his first act as Luxurias, h methods left a lot to br desired at the time.

@Ermine "Yes. Console duty. Lots and lots of console duty."

@Tengri "So you'd put the person looking up lewd things... closer to technology?"

@Grey "Indeed. Every time they try to do something other than their duties, the computer will send a pulse of shock. Not enough to cause permanent damage, but it will hurt"

@Grey "Indeed. Every time they try to do something other than their duties, the computer will send a pulse of shock. Not enough to cause permanent damage, but it will hurt"

"But what if they're, you know, umm...into that?"

@Ermine "Into what?"

@Tengri"Oh, you know...the kind of stuff with whips and chains. STOP LOOKING OVER HERE, IAN."

@Tengri"Pain, my friend. Some people get off on pain. I was there was some shipart I sent you that showed the concept explicitly."

@Raijinslayer
If Malcolm were a masochist then would that mean that he'd get off on his entire life?
