...So what mood is head-buzzing? [ Is it the mood where you hug him and tell him he's your most favourite best friend ever? ]

[huaaaaagh]

[Ahaha... well, the truth is slightly more somber than he'd like. How to phrase it.]

...Introverted? It's pretty good for shutting the world out, for people who want to be left alone for a while.

[pneumo]

.... [ Ahaaaaa. So. The one time he stalked him, and got the job and then helped move speakers and draped all over him afterwards.

Awkward. ]

Ohhh.

[huaaaaagh]

[And Kirito's not even thinking of that, because it was just a job. Oops?]

People use that kind of music for different things, though. Back home it's mostly for dancing- not this kind, the slow stuff, but club dancing.

[pneumo]

....Club? [ What is a club Kirito, he's from the early 1900s :c Man he wishes he could make Kirito smile like that without bringing up subjects that make him think poorly of himself. ]

[huaaaaagh]

[Give it time, Sascha, it takes a while with anybody.]

Remember that place I was working at on the day we met? That was a club.

[So that place he stalked him to, helped move speakers at, and draped all over him in.]

[pneumo]

[ AH YES WHAT GOOD TIMES.... ]

...Did you wanna dance that day or something? [ Please be that and not wanting to be alone ]

[huaaaaagh]

Oh, geez- no way. I only went there because of the job. I have no idea how to dance like that...

[pneumo]

Wait, really?? [ So...he didn't want to be alone? ]

[huaaaaagh]

Really. Did you think I was setting all those speakers up for me?

[Yikes, that would be so disgustingly self-serving he can't even imagine. That, or super pathetic- who spends hours setting up a club with tunes just to dance all alone in the middle of the afternoon?]

[pneumo]

I dunno... I've never seen speakers before, on anyone set them up. [ Maybe he really like to jam ]

[huaaaaagh]

[Pft. Pfffft. That's actually kind of funny.]

Well, I definitely wasn't. Clubs really aren't my thing.

[pneumo]

Then what is your thing? [ Besides hermiting and being addicted to mmos. Don't explain them. He'll never understand. ]

[huaaaaagh]

[BUT THAT'S ALL HE DOES, SASCHA...]

Mm... games, mostly, and messing with technology. I like to build computers.

[pneumo]

Wait, you can actually build those?? Can you make the one with the moving pictures too?? [ he means a TV.... Cartoons... ]

[huaaaaagh]

A TV? No, I've never tried one of those. Maybe if I had one to take apart first, see how it works... but computers can pretty much do what TVs can, and more.

[He's never really seen the point of television. With the whole internet at his fingertips, who even needs cable??]

[pneumo]

[ People like Sascha who will only use it for good and not evil of course. Cable is srs business. ]

What's a tv? [ They haven't been invented in his world yet ]

[huaaaaagh]

TV, as in television.

[....wait]

Um. "The one with moving pictures".

[pneumo]

--Gotcha! TV... TV, TV. [ That word is really fun to say, goodness. ]

Are there any on our communicator thingies?

[huaaaaagh]

There's a few, actually. I can't vouch for the quality, or even what they are, but the Atroma dumped a bunch of media onto a public network a while back. Anyone's free to access it.

[pneumo]

[ HOLD THE PHONE ]

The gorgeous ladies have us presents?! [ presents, cartoons--WHICHEVER. Sascha is actually going to stop and hold onto Kirito's shoulders in excitement. ]

[huaaaaagh]

[He is still under the impression that they're beautiful women... Sascha, no...]

The Atroma did, yes. It's on the comms.

[pneumo]

[ He totally does, yup. NEVER GONNA CHANGE HIS MIND ON THIS. ]

How do I find it??

[huaaaaagh]

[Wow, he's really serious about this.]

Er... I can show you, if you want?

[pneumo]

[ He totally, completely is. But hey--it'll interrupt the dance right? ]

Yes please-!
