"Well - I wouldn't mind exactly? But if I'm talking to them I'd rather know." Snuggle. "This whole thing is so weird."

Hugs. "People are kinda weird."

"...How do you explain nymphs to people who don't have nymphs?" he wonders.

"To the other Bells? The wording of the explanation was nothing special, we kind of lean a lot on the fact that we're alts and therefore don't have to sanity-check each other nearly as much as we would want to with other people. I said you're a semi-spontaneously-generated race with divine magic and certain divine strictures, of which not covering up your divine selves is one. I also told them that at home you can not only go naked in public without being arrested, but also you and people with you can do anything else that might otherwise get one arrested for indecency, no problem - I think that made more of an impression, they're calibrated to suppose that if you're just going around naked that's relatively considerate of you, I guess."

He giggles and hugs her some more. "Yeah, there's that, I guess. But I'm not sure everybody else will be so impressed."

"Yeah, doesn't seem like it. I'm sorry."

"Have you really had no other conversations today?"

"I can remember some that ended up at another subject, but I can't remember any that didn't start with the naked thing. I mean, not that starting with the naked thing is necessarily bad," he grins, "but it is when they disapprove, y'know?"

"Did anybody approve?"

"Yeah, and she was really cute, too."

"Congratulations."

He giggles.

"So yeah, a bigger censor bar with more - wraparound - might help. You'd probably also get less shit about it if you weren't shaped humanoid? You could turn into something, I don't know how you'd feel about that."

He makes a face. "I could, sure, but I don't want to. I like my body. It's a nice body."

"I think so too," says Aether.

Celo grins. "I know," he says, and hugs her again.

"But not everyone is interested in enjoying it, and the ones who are can be ushered into private and the ones who don't are kind of ruining your party."

"Yep," he sighs. "So - I mean, I don't just want to give myself a bigger censor bar, because maybe there's somebody who'd be okay with what I've got but doesn't want to see me without it, right? I want it to have levels. And just settle at where everybody wants it. And maybe be less obviously censor-y than a big black square. Little cloud of magic fog, maybe?"

"I'm not sure if fog would be an improvement for anybody, but it probably wouldn't make anything worse."

He shrugs. "I think it'd be an improvement for me."

"Then that seems like an obvious win."

"Yeah." Snuggle. "Now I guess I just have to figure it out and then cast it. It'll probably be too big to cast by myself, especially since we don't know if fucking up an enchantment could actually kill me."

"I could do it, or you could channel it through some other Joker."

"Mm... another Joker, I think," he says. "Jellybean made me the censor bar; I wanna make this one myself."
