[ Poppy is being so brave... Shoko's cheering her on. If she'd been leaning back like Shoko, maybe she would've leaned on her a little bit, but in place of such a gesture, she simply smiles a little instead, even tiredly so, making no signal to object against her hand being there. ]
...Heh. That's okay. I'm not much of a karaoke person, myself. Usually I just get dragged along by my coworkers.
[ aaaaa she's leaning on her (ignoring that Poppy still has her hand on Shoko's knee) aaaaa after spin the bottle happened earlier and everything too. is. is this real?
Outwardly, Poppy just turns her head and offers Shoko a lazy smile. ]
Oh, I can drink too. But me, hmm... I mean, I code... and I game... but that's also work stuff, isn't it...
[ ... ]
We should try drunk gaming.
[ What is that. Who cares. It's their two favourite things together! ]
[ She chuckles. She can't say she's ever really tried that before. Sure, maybe she's had booze while watching her old friends play against each other, but... ]
Wait a minute. You're not suggesting that just so you can show off your gaming skills at me, are you?
[ It comes like as a squawk, more out of surprise than offence. Things she genuinely had not been thinking about... ]
No, of course not! Although I am very good. [ She rubs Shoko's knee a little without even thinking about what she's actually doing. ] No, I just mean, it would be fun...
Oh, Poppy realizes what she had just been doing. Oh. There's a bit of a blush creeping up on her, but also Shoko never told her to stop, so it must have been okay... she's just going to keep her hand there.

Absolutely it is. [ Nods decisively.
A beat. ]
I mean, probably? Just the... the cameras might be a bit much for me there.
[ For someone who will just loudly parade herself through everything at all times, she's a lot more subdued suddenly. ]

We'll have to figure something else out, then.
[ oh ]

... Leans back a little also now, actually. Also pleasantly. ]
Co-workers, am I right? [ Pshh.
...
oh. Pause. ]
I'm sure there's lots of cool stuff though! [ ... ] What do you usually do for fun?
no subject
Hmm? For fun?
[ I'm crying tears of blood because her official profile deadass says her favorite hobby is alcohol. ]
I drink. Guess I've been doing a lot of that already, though. What do you do for fun, Poppy?

[ A beat, as a new possibility occurs to her. ]
Unless you want me to show off...?
[ w. would she, ]
no subject
I guess it would be fun. [ A beat. ] And watching someone show off would be a little nostalgic for me.
[ And then she'll gently place her hand over Poppy's. ]
Should I take that to mean that you're excited?
no subject

Under Shoko's.
That's cool. ]
I, um.
[ A beat, followed up with a smile. ]
Yes. Let's do it.
