Lisa: I'm doing pretty well! What are you two up to? Just waiting for our next big mission to happen, like me?

Tohru: Waiting for food too, but yes.


Suzu: "I can only have Ao" you don't think I get the implication from that? Why some one would just stick to one person like that.... You don't think I don't know why my dad has been trying for years to find my sister and I a husband, despite the fact that our name alone should get us multiple suiters

I am broken, which makes me an undesirable mate...

-ges walks over and flicks her on the back of the head-

Ges: ok, there’s another issue at work here. Explain to me your culture’s versions of relationships, is it not normal to only have one significant other?

Asagi: @Lisa Most of the job market for mercenaries is dry at the moment. Seems that in fixing a fundamental flaw in the universe we inadvertently solved a lot of other smaller problems. I only found a few, and they're not exactly the highest quality. >.>

Suzu: No not really, unless your a farmer.... two is the most common number, but people have more the more influence they have, mages often have whole harems....


-Tohru looks at a nearby chair hungrily-

-ges just rubs his faceplate-

Ges: in most of the books I studied, it was said a relationship was between two people. I didn’t think there could be more.

Quartz: Let's not eat the furniture, alright? >.<

(@Asagi) Please tell me you've got the number of a nearby place that does delivery before our friend devours the furniture.

-Asagi hands Quartz the house phone-

Asagi: Pizza's on speed dial, under the hospital, the police station and the brain boys.

Lisa: I still can't really wrap my mind around the fact that we defeated a universe eating monster. There's probably nowhere to go but down from here, huh? tongue

Oh, you're hungry? I am too, actually. Let's... Get something that isn't a chair to eat, yeah.

-It's the opposite of hard to find Asagi, frankly, considering she's explaining stuff to Torhu et. all-

Asagi: That's something that depends highly upon social structure, time period, and the overall preference of the partners involved, since every situation is different. Assume you're asking this in context to the fox robot flopping around in your arm like a freshly caught fish, you sound like you're asking about how common polygyny where she's from, the answer being "dependent on status" since resource polygyny is something reserved for nobility and dedicated warrior classes who view it as an inherent display of their material wealth, and the fact very few farmers could afford to feed themselves and their spouses let alone a second spouse and a family. In modern times it's a practice that fluctuates wildly in and out in a manner similar to a fad since most post-scarcity economic-based societies have eliminated fears such as exorbitant costs of living spaces, food and the splitting of living condition funds evenly, so it becomes more of a case-by-case basis, and that's without assuming polygamy is not driven by an inherent biological need or due to basic lizard-hindbrain instincts.

...Basically, it's unusual but not unheard of. Why?

Ges: she thinks I think she’s broken because I wouldn’t take her as a partner. When i would like to but I wasn’t sure if I’d be doing something illegal.
