[ he... adds more in binary and does not explain what. my god ]
Well, back in the Ancient Earth days, there was a literal switch, so you'd just flip the switch up and down. Eight quick flips of a switch or not doesn't go too slow. Mostly, it gets translated to something called ASCII... though, even that tech is a bit archaic for me. Keyboards are meant for typing quickly.
But, I'm not really trying to be fast, here. I'm trying to keep you from snooping. [ he sticks his tongue out a little at the end, playful. ] Are you feeling especially curious? Or a normal amount?

Hmm. This one's much more difficult than the other one.
[ that's because you were testing it on lin jingheng you lovesick idiot. anyway.
he taps his fingers against the keyboard, thoughtful. ]
Alright, let's move onto the questions. What do you want to do right now more than anything?

[ hmm. after a moment, he waves his hand over his screen. the last two lines of binary highlight, and then suddenly transform back into regular letters. it's very fancy.
Participant is a little more touchy than usual, as well as flirtatious.
Participant expresses interest in obtaining information, both through questioning and observation.
lu bixing sighs, but it's good natured. ] Maybe it's a drink that makes people want to learn - but that doesn't seem right. You've always been pretty curious, as far as I've known you. Hmmm.
Feel any different now that you've seen them?

[oh!! his ears flick as he leans in to see, fascinated as the characters just change.]
Hmm... None of that seems different from normal. Usually I just don't flirt with you because you seem taken. [shrugs!] It's just fun, don't worry about it.
I feel more satisfied, but otherwise nothing different? If it just made me more curious I think I'd be finding a new topic to ask about.

[ what an unhappy friday. lu bixing's... outside of the aquarium, looking at it like it might spit out a single answer, his hands laced behind his back, holding still and silent.
though... when he hears rynlan coming, he looks over his shoulder, and gives him a soft, not quite there smile. ]
...Hey, Rynlan. Where'd you stay last night?

The new bar. Starting to make a habit of that, somehow.
[ after the last week, too. if rynlan comes next to him, he'll be able to tell that lu bixing smells a little like cigarette smoke. ] Though, my group was about the size I was expecting. I'm not sure where Cosmos was, but I hope to find that out, soon.

[ yeah his poor space husband. he nods... ]
Yeah. I think... I don't know. We've got a decent record of solving these. I... I'd especially like to solve this one.
[ he liked 'cosmos', after all, and... lin is upset, even if he doesn't show it. ] I feel like it's the least we can do, you know?

...we're going to have to have at least a couple of fights tomorrow, if we really want to.
[he brushes his hair back from his face, pausing to pet the cat draped over the back of his neck.]
Took us too long to find Four because she was always allowed to refuse, and I think we all know there are going to be some problems if we start insisting on everyone.

I wouldn't say that - I doubt she was hiding anything that would've been of any use to us.
[ considering he was the one who had her do a patdown, but - he seriously doubts it. still, rynlan makes a good point, and he sighs, scrubbing a hand over his face. ]
You're right, though. I don't know. In a perfect world, we won't have to make people strip out of their clothing again, but I don't think that matters. Maybe last week will be a lesson. If not, we'll have to convince people, either by carrot or by stick.

[ cute. he will take his pinky and link it around rynlan's. ]
A pinky promise is a promise that you can't break. Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a finger... well, I guess, I've only got one eye left so maybe not that one.
[ ?????? ]
But it's sealed, now.

[ help. he gives their linked pinkies a firm little shake and then lets go. ]
It's not a guarantee - from what I studied, it's not a hundred percent effective, but it might just be more convincing. Maybe a little more of a carrot than a stick. It's a plan at least.

Hey, I've been very good at convincing people, so far.
[ he's like working with 2/5 which is honestly pretty good considering. also, he points at rynlan. ] And by logic of this pinky promise, you also have to promise to be cooperative, Mr. Part of the Problem.
[ the pinky promise is already over bixing ]
