[It's been a little while, now, since Owen and Michel ran into each other in the house of mirrors. Owen is still upset over the whole ordeal, so he copes with that the only way he knows how.
By having absolutely no filter and deliberately asking upsetting questions! Nobody can say he copes well.]
so, when you were making your avatar, did you decide to take the opportunity to give yourself a penis?
[You can't try to get one up on Owen and get away with it.]
can't i be curious? i've noticed the game lets you choose whatever you want to have, which is a nice change of pace from how rigid things are in the real world.
well, you never know. maybe you'll surprise yourself. don't men get awkward boners at the worst possible time?
i highly doubt they intended for there to be any validation coming from the options presented to us in character creation, coming from a place where some people like to pretend to be someone entirely different in games.

Is he being solicited for dick pics??? Beneath the ocean of annoyance, there's a tiny light of something... smug? Hm. ]
Do you have a PVP death wish? I can grant specific requests.
None of your concern. You're never seeing me naked again.

[ But, hm. Hmmmm. There's a long pause before this one, but still: ]
I was surprised they put so much thought into it. They modeled possibilities most people wouldn't consider. Although I doubt anyone made use of them.

i appreciate the fact i get to choose, though.

I expected to see quite a few more voluptuous female avatars... they found an unusual beta population.
Didn't you say you kept your avatar the same? But having the choice is preferable, yes.

[Nobody is breasting boobily besides Hector… shame.]
we’re allowed two avatars. one of them is how you’d find me in real life, and the other is different. didn’t change my face much with either of them

[ DID FAI SPILL HIS SECRET. Quit invading his reserve, Owen. ]
I've only ever seen you use one. It seems like a waste of the effort of making a second...
no subject
[smh.]
would you say it's a waste to give yourself a body you prefer?
no subject
No. Never that.
I meant that, if you wanted to use either, I am not someone who would ask questions.
no subject
can i hold you to that, though? it's rare to find people who have nothing to say.

[ In hindsight, Owen's reaction to that memory had been... not unkind, exactly. ]
I make no promises on other topics. If you expect me to run an entire dungeon in perfect silence, you should say so in advance.

What's the likelihood you'll actually keep quiet?
