>"The advocate program got me laid! I have to pay it forward!"

There's a hell of a tagline.
B and E are really good options

B and E. If we have time for another right after, then, from highest priority to lowest, D (preventing a gang war just by sitting around), C (just one nutcase, but you never know....), and A (can hopefully fend and figure things out for himself without TOO much incident).

A! It might help him to see a well adjusted oculot as well
>>
No. 873235 ID: 67d5dc

B is my favorite, assuming we have the knowledge/ability to actually fix it.

A sounds fun as a reader and to make friends.

C sounds like a 911 call, not us.

D is... didn't Bika tell us to stay out of the Skut mafia stuff? it's either really serious or something we shouldn't be doing.

A, because it seems like one it'd be handy to have Krin along for.

Oh the goal of B isn't to fix anything, it's to convince the landlord to stop being a bigot or at least do their job.

B sounds like the most important. I think we can call in a few favors?

Also E, c'mon. Maybe with a little F:Hold her a bit.
>>
No. 873240 ID: 6ae5c0

Come to think of it, have we publicly held hands with anyone else? Maybe with Bika? I'm not sure if it's the wisest thing to do leading into 3/4 of our choices. Krin might have had her own reasons to change her mind, too. If we're going to do that then just conspicuously leave the hand where she can take it if she wants, don't grab hers.

Sorry to reply twice but I missed what you said about c the first time. It's important to remember that we cannot bring the police into Visitor conflicts if we don't want to make things way worse for them. Cops have a bad track record with Visitors.

A!

I wouldn't hold her hand. We're pretty encumbered with emotionally-invested relationships as it is, and personally, life has taught me to be a little more cautious and circumspect with who I let into my heart than maybe I'd want to be. We barely know her. Let's keep hanging out and see how that grows.

B with E on the way.

Make sure to let her know that you don't mind if she holds your hand. I kinda feel that while helping the Oculot would be nice, I feel like someone who's home is slowly getting destroyed is a little more pressing.

B seems like the way to go, it's something that really needs something done about it and team ZacKrin can reasonably do it.

"There's an Oculot who's fresh out of the portal and apparently having a rough time adjusting." You take her hand and pretend not to notice the blush that performs an immediate hostile takeover of her cheeks. "Old aristocracy. We're going to take him on his very first trip to the grocery store."

When he notices you come into the barebones studio, the Oculot who scored the hit raises one gloved hand to his sparring partner and they both lower their poleaxes.
"Gzhaszi zai shzassinzif ku gjza," he says.
"Hza."
"Hza. OK. Hello, Human." He unmasks as he approaches you. "You are bedmate of Dutchesj. Famous man Zack Zomething, yez?"
You extend a hand to shake. "That's m--"
"You are advocate?"
"That's right. I hear you need some help with groceries."
"Zo you hear. I zee. OK. Aha." He favors Krin with a quick smile. "Junstjelic fj," he says. "Bzisj ku szzujna."
Krin blushes again a little. "Krinstezj Sulesso fj," she says.
"Sulesso!" His hairy brows unknot. "You are poet-heartmate?"
"Not quite."
"Ah! Poet-daughter."
"And you're Junstjelic Hygian, right? The polist?"
He stands a little straighter. "I am yes that man. You are also advocate?"
"Uh." Krin fidgets. "Sort of."
"You are bedmate of Zack."
"Uhhh."

English tip, saying boyfriend or girlfriend or dulamad will probably lead to less blushing and stuttering.

Something like this, so long as it's clear we're not being a smart-ass.

In any case, Krin's lived on earth most (all?) of her her life, She's almost certainly got the perspective needed to help.

It would be more socially acceptable in English to say Dulamad. Otherwise she'll cutely blush and stutter.

I agree with these.
We don't want to anger this guy, so maybe we should avoid patronizing him?
He's old aristocracy.
Quite possibly VERY old aristocracy.
Short tempers and big egos are part of the package.
Being respectful and deferential will get us far here.

We just walked in on him practicing some sort of fighting style, we can probably credit him with being at least a bit tough. He's a guy who willingly came to earth, after all, and he's from a class who would have some knowledge what that means, he had to know he was stepping down lifestyle-wise. Besides, look at that beard.

He could also have a more “Warrior” mentality. The point is we dont know him yet. Lets go with the good old zacky charm and stick to being honest and open.

Definately a “bedmate”.

I'd just like to add that this guy probably resents humans. We may want to tailor our behavior to account for that.

No. 874973 ID: a70f54

Well, one thing I might suggest is that we ask him for some sort of minor favor or assistance. It's probably pretty wearing on someone's pride for a stranger to descend from on high to offer them help out of the kindness of their hearts because they're so pitiful, and honestly both warriors and oculots, high-class oculots at least, don't seem like they accept charity easily. So if we can think of some small thing to ask of him, and then offer some small assistance in return, it might make this more comfortable for him.

We'd have to think of something that seems plausible, though. My first thought is to ask him for advice to help with your oculot girlfriends, but that would be sort of crass and Krin's standing right there. Maybe ask him for advice for your relationship with your warrior girlfriend? That would be a sly implied compliment, that we'd be assuming he has experience with warrior girls, and would play to more of a non-warrior camaraderie. Then we clarify that we want tips on "getting" warrior culture better.

We also probably shouldn't start off by just directly correcting him on word usage.

On one part, we have to help him socialize.Being royalty means he has never had the need to address any non-oculot as an equal (he could or couldn't have had personally, but all races bow to oculots instinctively).

On the other part, he's fresh from the portal and we don't want to offend him.

Ultimately we're here to help him learn how to buy groceries, so we should give him a respectful tour of American Freedom(maybe invite him to some burger and fries? is Tesla burger near?)
