audio | writing this post made me want pie
[what's up everybody, your texan boy is here
the audio starts with a telltale flick of a lighter, followed not long after by an exhale from the first drag of a cigarette]
You know what's a damn shame?
I been here a year and I still ain't found anywhere that makes decent pecan pie.
I know I can always make my own. Reckon I can't complain too much about not findin' hometown cookin' on an alien planet, but... mhn. Still miss that diner down on 71 towards Austin. Mateo made pie so good you'd climb a dang power pole for seconds.
General poll, 'cause I got nothin' better to do. You miss any kinda food from home? Diner cookin', mama's cookin', anything.

[ She hasn't bothered to correct anyone about calling her "Miss", yet. It hardly matters here. ]
And what sort of engineering do you do? Design bridges, that kind of thing?
no subject
Mechanical engineering, for the most part. I usually work weapon contracts when I'm not tinkerin' with my own inventions.
How 'bout yourself?

[ She's not judging, just... vaguely curious. ]
Oh, I'm a sex researcher.
[ She's starting to try this out on people - she never seems to get the same reaction twice. ]

[And... huh. Engie's face remains neutral, maybe for politeness's sake, but the gear's in his head are turning. And kind of stuck.
Which translates via audio to: a lot of silence.]
Huh.
Guess you wound up on the right planet.
How's that work, exactly?
no subject
The same as any other scientific study, really. We make observations, record and collect data.
no subject
[Look, he's a scientist. He can appreciate studies.]

[ You know, no big deal. ]

[Honestly, Dell is a dude who has seen and done a lot of over-the-top wild shit. He also comes from a wild
canonworld where he earned 11 PhDs and the entire country of Australia inhaled magic rocks and got smarter, buffer, and mustache-ier. Most things don't phase him.But sex still sort of does. For some reason. A colleague of his literally removed a man's skeleton just because he could but somehow Dell's shy about openly talking about dick.
That said, he can be professional. He'll pause awkwardly a lot, sure, but it's cool!!]
For what... purpose, exactly? Besides scientific study 'n all.
no subject
[ Well, there you go. ]
no subject
Well, damn. Makes sense. [Sound reasoning, especially to a man from 1972. He doesn't want to sound patronizing, though, so he leaves it at that.] You definitely wound up on the right planet, then.

[ She takes a breath. She always gets a little passionate when her work gets brought up. It's important - to her, and, she believes, to the world more generally. ]
Though I'm not sure how animal transformations and... moon cycles will help me. But it's interesting, at least.
no subject
Depending on what you're into.

[ She looks very faintly amused, but she's got a pretty good poker face, so there's no judgment or anything like that in her expression. ]

[ She's not so much asking him that question - it's rhetorical, mostly. She's almost talking to herself now.
She really needs to start writing up some questions. ]
no subject
But I ain't exactly explored what gets folks rocks off around here.
[dell conagher that is a filthy lie]

I bet a little research on this network would dig up some things, either way.
