[Whoa. Johnny is speechless. He didn't know what to expect from this dataverse experience but he didn't expect to be instantly teleported inside of some lush green dungeon. This place looks like a magical fantasy world, especially since Johnny has never seen such green trees before. He glances around the place with a look of awe, that is, until Laios makes a comment about his attire.]

What? [He takes a glance over himself to realize he's in his signature black tank top and brown leather pants. Ironically enough, he was half-naked prior to arriving here. Yeah, that means Laios missed out on the chance of seeing him topless in loose gray sweatpants.]

This what I always wear!

[Ah, fuck it. This is Laios' virtual kitchen, so his rules.]

Fine, what do you folks wear around here? Armor?

[vorous]

That’s exactly the problem! You gotta wear like you can be ready for anything to happen to you! Look at me!

_{[ slapping his palm on his armor proudly ]}

I can withstand all sorts of monster and magic attacks with my armor! I guess.. it depends on your class, you know?

_{[ .. ]}

You’re a bard, right?

[rebelsamurai]

I guess?

[He gives Laios a noncommittal shrug. Honestly, aren't bards just musicians like him? Old-timey musicians but still musically inclined.]

That's what Taryon called me the second he found out I was a musician.

[So, what precisely do bards wear? Johnny begins scanning through several alternatives here within the Dataverse. He dislikes all of these flouncy blouses, strange-looking tunics, and even stranger-looking matching slacks. It looks so dorky and stupid. Who would've guessed that medieval fashion tastes suck? Johnny keeps searching until he comes across this ensemble here. While he normally prefers black and red as his go-to colors, Johnny kind of likes the light blue.]

Okay, better?

[Johnny does a little spin so he can show off the really cool and colorful jacket. It's not bad. However, it's not something he would've picked as cooking wear.]

I look like a fucking jackass, don't I?

[vorous]

<sub>[ … Oh.

You know, it’s super comforting to Laios to be in this sort of simulation with somebody. It really makes him feel at home. Johnny really does look like an adventurer with that longer hair and scuff. Laios can’t help but feel his cheeks tinge pink. ]</sub>

No! I think you look really great! It’s a lot more fitting than what you were wearing. Thank you.

_{[ now he can actually focus on the cooking part.. ]}

What sort of monster would you like to hunt with me?

[rebelsamurai]

[While Johnny has some idea of how attractive he is, he honestly doesn't really know. However, he does recognize that Laios is looking a tad pink along the cheek. A devilish smirk curls onto the rocker's lips as he purposely unfastens another button on his shirt to show off his well-toned chest.

Guess who's been working out lately during lockdown? For someone who hates the rigidness of the military, Johnny seems to enjoy having a routine sometimes.]

Does that mean I get the chef's stamp of approval?

[He asks with a seductive grin as he saunters over to Laios. Johnny lets out a thoughtful hum as he considers the question, all the while closing in on Laios' personal space like an attentive feline.]

Something lizard-like and with scales, kinda like those crocodile-looking kaiju. I bet those fuckers are tasty.

[vorous]

<sub>[ Laios just thinks Johnny is trying to get more comfortable by unbuttoning his attire like that. He gets it. He also hates restrictive clothes.

But that sly smile seems familiar in some way— sometimes Kabru would look at him like that. Something about Johnny invading his space like that— Laios isn’t sure what it is (it’s flirting) but it’s definitely different than how people normally approach him. ]</sub>

Um.. well! I mean! This is VR, right? I don’t think we can actually eat anything we hunt, but you’ll have a better understanding about how to cook them. Plus, after this lockdown is over with, we can definitely cook a monster together.. in person. Something with scales along this area would be a Basilisk. They are also part chicken if you like to eat chicken!
