I apologize, I didn't realize. You don't have to answer my messages the way I write them.

[Figuring out capitalization was a minor ordeal. Paul can relate to difficulty matching communication modes across cultures.]

I like the sound of that. I'd also like to extend you an offer: I'm teaching another student some techniques for getting more out of your body, and I've been thinking that you might benefit from some of them as well. They're like meditation techniques, but a little more involved. Would you be interested?

[asas]

of course i would!!! it’s like taking my morning meditation to the next level!! that sounds super neat!

is it like an out of body experience?

cw: reference to drug use

[terriblepurpose]

It can be, but only with the right drugs.

I'll talk to my other student and see how he feels about you joining us for classes. He's a private person. If he's not interested, I'll work with you one on one. I think it will be fun.

[asas]

…………ok
thanks

[ he’s an athlete drugs are a big no for performance but paul how could he just blow paul off like that!! ]

what kind of drugs
will my brain fry and/or lower my physical performance
will i be caught in doping exams

[terriblepurpose]

Hallucinogens and stimulants, possibly relaxants if needed.

There is a mild risk of triggering mental instabilities if used improperly, and overuse can create physical issues, but those shouldn't happen to you.

What is a doping exam?

[asas]

so like…… some athletes do drugs or take stuff to get stronger and swollen up quick like steroids
that’s like cheating, AND illegal
before a game or just randomly so you don’t know it’s coming the fivb (fédération internationale de volleyball) has you do an anti-doping exam
an officer goes with you to the bathroom and you pee into this cup so they could test it for any of those stuff
if you’re doing it, it’s going to be in your pee
and you can get banned from activities if it’s positive!!

[terriblepurpose]

That's a ridiculous way to try to prevent cheating. Some people must be able to beat the system, and then you've guaranteed an uneven playing field, with the honest competitors at a disadvantage.

Is anyone making you do this now?

[asas]

here in trench? not right now! we don’t even have official teams or anything, so……… no pee
and no volleyball 😭

before i heard that people would use other peoples pee to get by that but now they just send officers WITH you to the bathroom so you have to do it like
right in front of them
that and blood samples, i almost forgot
there’s no escape

[terriblepurpose]

Then all you have to do is bribe the officers or the testers.

It depends on the test and the drug what might show up, but if you're concerned about detection, they're not strictly necessary.

(If anyone tries to make you do that here, don't trust them. The entire thing seems suspicious to me.)

[asas]

i’d like to think they aren’t bribable, but………… maybe i’ll just do my part anyway

[ one thing he sees a lot on the news in brazil: corruption. ]

i’m in
do you think your guy is gonna let me in?

[terriblepurpose]

I'm not saying that you should. But you didn't design the system. I shouldn't put you on the spot to explain it.

I think so. I'll let you know if he says yes.

I should let you know: he might seem strange sometimes, but he isn't. He just thinks about things differently than other people.

[asas]

oh, that sounds alright!

and either way, being different is fun, i know a few people like that.

[terriblepurpose]

I appreciate you not specifying that I'm one of them.

I'll talk to you soon, mano.

[asas]

!!!
that’s because you’re a different kind of weird, you tower

[ so young……… and yet so much larger than him. unfair! but it sounds more like a compliment than anything, who doesn’t want to be a tower??? ]

até mais amigão 🤝
