[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-!

[huaaaaagh]

[Well heck, not like he's going to look a gift horse in the mouth. He steps back and gestures for Sascha to follow, beelining back for the wall so they're out of the way of the other dancers. It'd be kind of rude to stand around fiddling with your phone while people are trying to enjoy themselves.]

Gimme your comm.
