[Hello Kazuki!! Where is the lil dude on this fine day... he can find Luke sitting on a bench somewhere in this outfit, with the jacket off; he's mildly sweaty and chugging a sports drink, and as Kazuki gets closer, he can pick up on a low undercurrent of pain.
Luke seems okay, though; he smiles brightly at Kazuki, lowering his drink and waving at him.]
They said there's more stuff behind the other gates, but that it's an older ship and they didn't want the new updates locking anything up again. So... if you believe them, we might see more later.
[But. Y'know. That's neither here nor there.
Anyway--he nods to the sim room, pushing himself to his feet; Kazuki might pick up on a flicker of pain, but Luke just heads on forward.]
I'd hope so. Sim room or not, I'd be climbing the walls if we were confined to this space forever. It's even worse than lockdown.
[ he's only half-serious, sometimes you complain just to complain. that flicker does make him pause, though, confusion bubbling up for a second before he trails after luke. ]
...They have that kind of where you're from? Concert halls and stuff? I feel like I never know who really understands what I'm saying in this place.
[The way ToT takes place in the future but it's Earth Slightly To The Left so I have no idea how Luke would react to the mention of a lockdown. Help... HE WILL JUST nod in General Understanding even if it's not Covid Understanding.
Into the room they go!!]
Yeah, we have concert halls. [Actually, he will demonstrate!! He flicks on the I.R.I.S. and fiddles with the controls to the room, until it reflects a concert hall--definitely very modern, even a touch futuristic, though nothing crazy.] They look something like this, for me? Though it depends on the venue.
Well, it's a good opportunity to show off, right? [He tappy taps a little more, summoning up a bunch of instruments too, just because. They're all very generic; he is not a musician.] I can't imagine what it's like for them, though. If I woke up somewhere that had never heard of cars or elevators, I'd freak out too.
[GO FOR IT, KAZUKI!! Luke wanders over too, though he doesn't touch anything.]
With carriages and stuff, you mean? Yeah. Though, they walked a lot more back then, so it probably didn't seem so bad. A racecar would probably seem like teleportation, to them.
Me too. Or those interactive displays they have, sometimes. The fact that they can pull it directly from your mind... if we'd come here normally, I'd be all over it.
[But instead he has to spend his time trying to jailbreak everything, which sucks!! NUT & BOLT WHY.]
That too. [They just have fancy stuff in Stellis too. But he nods.] It's not nearly as advanced where I'm from, either. Certainly not enough to be safely injected into people.
[He is sooooo unhappy about this even if he's kept it lowkey apart from some complaining.]
Week 0, Monday
Luke seems okay, though; he smiles brightly at Kazuki, lowering his drink and waving at him.]

Morning. You look like you just finished a mile run.

He smiles brightly!]
Yeah, I ran through a workout in the simulations room after my run. It really is impressive in there.

Let's give it a try.

A bunch of them don't even know what a guitar is, let alone anything about modern music. It's crazy.
[ luke has proven himself to be A Modern TM so now he gets to listen to kazu bitch. congrats! ]
...Looks a little fancier than what I'm used to, but not bad.

Ugh, I don't want to think about that. Didn't it take people days to get like a few miles away? That sounds miserable.

We walk a lot in Japan, too, but at least we still have trains. But I think most of us are in the same boat about a spaceship.
no subject
[A couple, but not many...
He tilts his head.]
You play?

[It could've been sentimental or something, he didn't want to assume. But he will just sit and listen, if Kazuki wants to play!!]

...It could be better, but not bad. [ grins. ] Pretty cool that it can do all this, though. I thought it would just be like holograms.

It's something to do with the nanites they mentioned, isn't it? I don't know much about that stuff or how it works. It's convenient, but still weird.

Not even Io-san...? I feel like a medical officer should have some kind of authority over that stuff.

You'd think so, wouldn't you. [DRYLY.]
