you know what sucks about being brought here

[oh boy, here we go.]

like apart from being sol in space. the basic premise here is that this is reality tv right? which is never actually reality. so they specifically picked us based on entertainment value is my guess. can you imagine anyone normal and fine and competent being interesting to watch? nah, not as much as someone who's constantly a mess. isn't it weird to think about how everyone here was picked probably because they're dysfunctional enough for viewers to keep watching? adding insult to injury if you ask me.

anyways i'm kind of curious about what makes you strange enough to be here. fill me in if you've got a guess.

Definitely not.

That's also the obvious answer that you would already know.

i for one am extremely glad you told me about the just as important secondary reason in the form of your spoon collection

on a related note

please tell me you don't actually have a spoon collection

I have three. So it depends on your definition of 'collection'.

did you just carry the spoons around through multiple dimensions

do they have deep sentimental value

Oh, I don't have them with me. Probably too dangerous. [That could be a joke, or it could be true. He intends it as a joke for Opal, since she likely won't know about his powers.]

A teammate gave them to me.

glad to see you understand the most legitimate dangers of the infinite cosmos

why did your teammate give you spoons

I'm a quick study.

She thought I'd like them. What other answers have you gotten?

a few "there's nothing special about me" people of course, because that's super convincing

someone said atroma told them they were picked because their lack of confidence is endearing, someone fights monsters with a projection of their personality, someone solves all their problems with violence, someone else who's been kidnapped in another world like this before, and someone who's family was involved in the fall of an empire

people are weird

I suppose some might think their lives are normal where they're from? The other things make sense.

nah they were both being kind of obnoxious in different ways

Well then. Maybe that's the reason.

i don't want to believe that "obnoxious" is enough of a qualifier to end up here

my karma can't be that horrible

I'm sure there are all sorts of reasons, which people might not want to air out.

then they could always not say anything instead of being just speaking up to be so insistent about how completely and totally normal (tm) they are

Could be a compulsion.

an annoying one

anyways how have you been

Well enough. Finally managed to buy new clothes at one of those waystations.

oh yeah we were broke

how long did you have to stay in the same clothes

I did change, you know. Just because those jumpsuits are unattractive doesn't mean I won't wear them.

ew

not sure if jumpsuits are preferable

They are on laundry day.

ok then

did you manage to find clothes that weren't weird alien clothes

Only on one of those waystations - basically a tracksuit. Everything on the Starlight was too fluorescent.

what is it with your team and tracksuits

Please don't put me in the same category as Yato.
