[After fiddling with the gear for a bit and checking the network, it seemed like it's impossible to tell who is who... so now seemed like a prime time to ask without embarrassment. Now to just keep it short in case the text glitches and gibberishes the question...]

someone explain what 'the talk' is

[Someone should answer, people are always answering questions or being nosy.]

Perhaps this talk has something to do with seeking permission to court from one's parents?

HOW THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE GOING.

crying, reusing terminology that was used for him...

[shadowdive]

girls have "gardens", which means they're the only ones who can grow anything in them

[shadowdive]

is courting the same as dating? then it isn't that, because his parent isnt alive, let alone here.

[shadowdive]

if you insist

[shadowdive]

good luck on what?

[darkenedgales]

[Oh okay then. Maybe they just use different euphemisms for that back where they're from.]

both are when a parent/guardian tells the child where babies come from and such

[anonymous text]

[shadowdive]

i didn't have a parent/guardian.

Fffffff oh god that terminology. I'm dying.

[beforethedarkness]

[What the heck is he reading.]

Gardens.

What does the date have to do with courting?

[tentacletrainer]

Why do you say that?
Though to be honestly you should go with amused.
That's what I was aiming for.

[shadowdive]

i think i should ask what "courting" is.

hahahahahah SASUKE STOP ASKING AHHAHAHA

[shadowdive]

girl parts. a hole between their legs that isn't for pooping from?

[I CAN'T HANDLE THAT HE JUST TYPED THIS]

DYING. DYING SO MUCH oh god it hurts from laughing so much Vanitas why

[beforethedarkness]

[WHAT. Excuse him, Vanitas, but you just broke him a little. He's staring so hard at his pokégear right now.

A little more.]

Why;s that important?

[HE NEEDS AN ADULT]

AHHAHAHAHAHHA

[shadowdive]

guys have to put their stuff there and that's how girls have babies. so two girls can't make one because they're lacking whatever a guy has, and two guys can't make one because they're lacking whatever a girl has.

[papshooshing]

AH HUH...

[beforethedarkness]

[He totally just made the gesture with his hands to try and visualize too. Good thing this is text.]

so the talk just explains that?

[shadowdive]

[Kakashi would be proud of those hand gestures, wouldn't he.]

yeah

[beforethedarkness]

[Not so sure about proud, but definitely amused.]

Good to know.

[Sorry Vanitas, he's probably not going to respond further than that unless you give him a good reason to.]

[shadowdive]

if you need to know the whole thing, just dig it out through the other texts. i got a couple versions that are similar, just with different names for the parts.

[darkenedgales]

[Oh.

That's something Crow can relate to so much -- despite the fact he knows literally nothing else about the person on the other end but they've mentioned not having parents, so they need to shut up and accept they're now his soul mate now.]

sorry

[darkenedgales]

[But after a moment, another realization hits:]

wait a sec

you mean you've never had it at all?

[anonymous text]

[shadowdive]

The matter in which a young couple begins to perform activities together up until their marriage.
Usually arranged by their parents.

[beforethedarkness]

this is enough

[Translation, he's just a little traumatized by what he's learned so far and he's not sure he wants to go digging further. He got his question answered, anyway.]
