Blossom appears under the tree Ari’s in. He is in Harmonia’s backyard, using his snake tail to curl around a tree. "Get down gayboy"

Ari looks down, placing her phone aside. “Wowwww, I’m comfy though.”

"Get down or I’ll bite you.”

Ari scowls and flops off, its big tail making a large thud when it hits the ground. “You're a whore”

"Yeah.”

Ari snickers and hugs Blossom for a moment. “You wanted to show me something?”

“I just realized I can do this here." Blossom snaps and a laptop appears with electrode pads. She takes one and reaches for Ari's hand.

“Oh? “ Ari lets Blossom take it. “I'm curious now.”

She places it on him and the computer loads to a dashboard with her number on it. The options show this.

"So! Here you can access your memories under mem, dopamine levels, and emotion levels under d-levels, and here's what's under options!" Blossom clicks on it.

Ari looks at it all dumbfounded. “I hope you know I have no idea what's happening on screen.”

"Track tells me or whoever accesses this where you are and reset basically kills you. Do not press it."

Ari’s eyes go wide. “Oh- yeahhh lets not-“

"Yeah of course not. So... any questions?"

Ari shrugs. “I mean it's weird to know people can just- make me happier, I know Cole can but like- I know it's only him who can do that.”

"Yeah. Well, only admins and you can. Admins are me, Lucille, Pluvio, Claire, Allie, Toshiba, Rose, and formerly Roxy and Writer. But who knows if they're even around anymore. Even so, no one should mess with you.”

Ari breathes a slight sigh of relief. “Ok- that's good, ill be fine then… but Roxy is dead, isn't she?”

"Probably. She's weird. Corruptelams are weird." Blossom shrugs and pets Ari’s head. "Any questions?"

Ari gives a light purr. “Why'd you choose to show me this now? Just something you thought of?”

"Yeah. I saw another rose do it and figured you probably didn't know about it. Also! You don't need a phone. You can access the internet with your brain.”

Ari's eyes widen. “What????? How did I not know about that???”

Blossom shrugs. "You're just a silly lil gal.”

They snicker. “So uhhh how do I do that?”

"Just like, think about it I guess.”

Ari scrunches her nose and squeezes her eyes shut dramatically.

“So true.”

Ari opens her eyes. “Holllyyyt shit, that's wacky.”

"Hehe.”

“Men.”

"No.” Blossom responds.

“Women.”

"Yes.”

“They them thussy.” Ari says.

"That's actually terrible.”

“No it's pretty good.”

"What the fuck.”

“I'm a whore, I wasn't always with Apollo, I was told to feed off of random people and R053s so I did. Do you really believe a single R053 is cishet?” Ari responds.

"Nah.”

“Exactly.”
