[ If there's a working network around here, it would be a stupid mistake to not use it. And while he's not above just reading the backlog, he can't find some information he's actually looking for

time to act clueless on the network, apparently ]

so, i'm here to add to the pile of the "dumb shit newbies ask"

they really just let us loose on the city, huh? while i don't mind being left to my own devices, that whole looming threat of going fucking crazy— that's an unfun part about it

how did this bonding work out for you guys, when you first got here?

been wondering— everyone is talking about the importance of capital 'B' bonding, but how about that tempbond potion? aside for the price obviously. are there any downsides for prolonged use? something to watch out for? limit with how many people you can drink that with?

if there are any parties where we meet, drink a round of shots or two, and then drink these temp potions to get through the moons and all the feral shit— just sign me in. if there are none, then consider it a suggestion

you don't have to scroll back really far to notice that, yeah people do make a big deal out of it. vows, ceremonies, outfits, shit like that. someone mentioned sharing dreams and memories— it does give a certain impression to someone is still trying to get used to this "reincarnated into Another World" bullshit. [ He doesn't even have to exaggerate too much here, although he's always absolutely willing to, if just to stir things up ] i'm relieved to hear from someone with experience it's not always the case

so, thanks for speaking up

i'll circle back to my original question and modify it: is there some avenue for people seeking these bonds? permanent or temporary doesn't matter

Oh. I know they do. People tend to act like it's on par with a wedding. Mostly just shook my Bonds hands and promised not to do something stupid. Oh, I guess. But it's only happened like once with my Bond, and we've been bonded like...just a few weeks short of a year. I get the feeling things like that aren't particularly common, and it still doesn't outweigh the benefits.

Uh - talk to people you know. Some people kind of use this thing the same way one would use like a dating app and seek out Bonds. While, ultimately, you don't have to do it right away, it doesn't hurt to keep it on your mind. Find someone easy to get along with.

And, if it doesn't work out, it's not like you can't break a Bond, anyway.

[ Furiously notes everything down. Metaphorically ]

if we ever ran into each other, i owe you a drink. those must have been some of the most helpful information i've read today.

I'm glad to share what I've learned when someone wants to listen or learn.

But, I'll hold you to that. Louis, by the way.

Louis— just Louis? anyway, give me a call when you want a drink, and where you are

[ No last name and the like suits him just fine, but they usually make it easier identifying specific people out of the crowd ]
