[harrow is now freshly changed from her horrible pink jumpsuit and is instead wearing all black - a button down, pants, and dramatic looking robes - decorated all over with bone.
there's still not much space to explore, but harrow is going to go ahead and do it. you can find her in any of the common areas, opening drawers and cabinets and taking pictures on her phone or typing something down. when someone else walks into the room, she abruptly puts her phone away like she was doing something she isn't supposed to.]

[Lavi walks into the kitchen, dressed also in black, though only his shirt and leggings, he has a red scarf -- torn and battered at the edges wrapped around his neck. He blinks over at Harrow,]
What are you doing?
[nosy!]
What are you doing?
[nosy!]
Nothing that concerns you.
[rude! anyway she's clearly poking around and taking pictures of things it's not that hard to figure it out.]

[the way this is how lavi will learn you can take pictures on your phone, he wanders on over]
Taking records? [hmm] Want some help?
Taking records? [hmm] Want some help?
...I suppose. It may be worthwhile to learn what is here, to know the layout. Or it may be a wasted exercise.
We've got all eternity, apparently.
[he moves over and starts opening drawers, though he doesn't take pictures. just looks at and closes them,]
And I'd rather do this than whatever their idea of torture is.

Oh, are you worried about that? I wouldn't be.
[so nonchalant about this, as she snaps some pictures of the drawer he just opened.]
They don't seem to have very torturous ideas. So far, the level of torture has hovered merely at unpleasant.

I did expect more...
[he makes a little scrunchy motion with his hand that's apparently supposed to mean something,]
But they'll probably get there, maybe we're the training wheels?
[opens more drawers, but instead of closing them he waits until harrow takes a picture first,]

[good, she'll continue along this way.]
They want to get us settled in and prepare us for a party but also torture us. It is...silly. They don't have the imagination for true torment.

Spoken like an expert.
[tilts his head]
Are you an expert?
[to his credit(?), he looks interested]

In torment?
[she has to think about that for a moment.]
I would not describe it as a primary skill set, but I could do better than these demons.

I've got some experience, physical and emotional, but never been on the other end of the thumbscrew.
[ranks himself under Harrow... and probably the demons too,]

But wouldn't your experience prepare you well to understand what matter of things would be tormenting?
It was all kinda -- personalized. [...] Actually, I see your point, yeah.
Yes. The personalized touch is absent, is it not? I don't even know what a pizza is, so how am I meant to be offended by bad pizza.
And the shoes. Some people really didn't like 'em, but I thought they were fine.
[he also didn't like them, well he didn't think they were crimes against humanity]
The most personalizing I've seen are those profiles.

I was indifferent to them. They were better than the jumpsuit. The profiles are obnoxious, but it is part of the problem. So far, they have tried to be mean, and it is...lacking.
Maybe it's less 'hurt our feelings' and more 'the other damned souls know stuff about you, and now you gotta talk to them'.
Watch us make bonds, and then exploit them?
Watch us make bonds, and then exploit them?
Aha. So we must avoid making any bonds that could be exploited. Good thinking.
[harrow.... is cute... pleading emoji,]
I think professional ones should be okay, right? Like having someone to talk to stuff like this and to open drawers. Nothing to exploit there!

[hmm.]
Indeed. Though we had this interaction, I do not particularly care what becomes of you, so there is little risk.

[HELP!!! he nods, trying not to grin.]
Very little.
Can I call you Harrow? In a professional acquaintance kind of way?
Very little.

...I suppose you may, if that's easier for you to remember.
Thanks. You can call me Lavi, or Junior. Whichever feels more appropriate.
