So... how many people here are comfortable with casual sex? I'm asking explicitly about people who might be interested right now, to be clear.

[For something out of Foster's mouth, it's pretty well censored, honestly; he's spent a long time fighting with the urge to do this.]

Don't worry, I'm down for absolutely anything, the harder the better! I'm in trailer 18, so you can, ah... I'm easy to find.

[okay. the blood on the walls? fine. the hoards of coins and general disorganization? fine. the fits of self harm and looping spirals of sputtering, delirious and confused self hate? FINE.

this?? finally: not fine. this is finally a thing Annabelle is not okay with. her voice is very stern.]

Foster.

[control_freak]

[--oh.

That's...

....interesting.

He was actually under the impression that Annabelle didn't care what he got up to, as long as he cleaned up after himself.]

Hello.

[forkedroad]

Do not just invite paramours into our trailer willy-nilly! I don't want to be an incidental witness to whatever that's like.

Interesting though it is, I'm sure...

[wild_magic]

Ew.

[control_freak]

....

[Foster is a lot of things, but 'qualified to talk to children in any capacity' is not one of them.

Actually, he's extremely uncomfortable with children! And had been assuming they would not respond to something clearly not directed to them. Which is just further proof he knows nothing about children.

... you know what, he's just going to let this be someone else's problem.]

Probably. I wouldn't worry about it!

[wild_magic]

Well, I wouldn't have to if you weren't talking about it in public.

[raynos]

[Stares at his radio.

Slowly turns it off.]

[mossbuds]

Dang, dude! Too much friggin' information! Also: there's kids in this place, y'know!! Entire, actual, real life children!! Is it just impossible for you to think before you let that nasty trash fall outta your stupid mouth?! What's wrong with you, man? Don't use the radios like some kinda seedy personals section.

Lars you're making it worse

[control_freak]

[Lars is... playing right into him, honestly. What Foster really wants is for someone to take him up on this; his blatant fishing for a fuck (or two) is 100% sincere--but whether or not he gets what he really wanted here, Foster knew he'd would get something out of the attempt.]

....sometimes, yes. It's a symptom of my disease. I'm a terrible piece of filth who can’t be trusted with anything. Advertising my desperation to the world in a transparent bid to sate my basest urges. I'm pathetic! Offensive! Needy, vile, lower than an animal!

Isn't it disgusting Isn't it awful?

in this episode, lars torches his radio into a plasticy pulp

[mossbuds]

Obviously! As like, an understatement! Is that even a real question?? That's gotta be some dumbheaded rhetorical nonsense, cuz why—wait.




Are you gettin' off t'this!?

[puddingemote]

So that's how a carnivore does it...

[He's kinda impressed, but mostly weirded out.]

[control_freak]

[????

Okay, that probably means something. But Foster has no idea what it is, and taking it literally makes as much sense as anything. Fucking up in social situations is kind of his specialty anyway.]

I'm a vegetarian, actually.

[puddingemote]

No. [Sounding a little annoyed Foster doesn't know his very specific Japanese slang.] Like really forward. For sex and stuff.

[steadydollypegs]

As opposed ta.... formal sex?

[Ugh, adult life sounds very confusing, thank goodness she has almost no interest in getting to the point of having to figure out casual, formal, radio-calls, all this.]

Sorry about last night, I was sO TIRED I just... gave up lmao

[control_freak]

[Foster doesn't know how to respond to something like that. Like... yes?

Honestly, he has no idea how to tailor his responses to a specific audience, period. Tell him what to do, he'll do it. But without specific instruction?]

More or less.

You don't keep a bag of trash around, right? You fill the bag with garbage, and then you throw it away--it's just like that!

[mylastchance]

Why are you doing this?

[Could people do this? Wait, no, that's not-]

There's people listening.

[control_freak]

....yes, that's the point.

[Is he missing something? No, really. He has a less than perfect history of actually saying (or not saying) what he's thinking.

The possibility that Lauren has never heard of whatever passes for 'call X for a good time' in his world has not occurred to him.]

I thought I was being fairly clear?

[sunflowerfields]

[screaming internally]

Please do not use the talking boxes to discuss having relations! There are children listening!

[SO MUCH screaming internally]

This tag was very challenging

[control_freak]

You're reacting like I just whipped my dick out in public--this isn't hurting anyone!

[This is kind of a challenging situation. Any other time, it would feel good to be called out, to have such sincere reactions of disgust and censure directed at him--it still does, but. It's also a little frustrating. He... this was not... that bad, was it??

No, it must have been. He misunderstood. Again. He miscalculated, because of course he's incapable of understanding or doing anything right! It's only natural he should be put in his place for it!]

Is this so wrong?

[whattaprick]

[ Here's another person definitively not responding to this, but he isn't turning the radio off.

It's too funny listening to people have a fit about someone who isn't him, all right? ]

[amusicaladventure]

Dude, I am normally all for that, but I thiiiink you might be going a bit far.

[dorkypantsuit]

[... What the hell?]

...That is so not how that works!

[control_freak]

Actually, it is!

[small_reservations]

Sure, why not?

... I might set you on fire, though.

[control_freak]

Ah--

On purpose?

[Excited? Or just surprised?]
