Oh. Tokyo. You might have heard of it by now, some of the others participants are from Japan, too.
[pokepoke...] They look great, don't even worry about it! It's even better knowing you made them. All of my stuff just came from the vending machine, but it should be pretty good!
[which is why they reach into the basket to pull out two personal-sized pizzas and a container filled with what looks like eggs.] I skipped the chocolate though. I figured we had enough of that already.
... Maybe in passing? But it's one of those modern places? I figure from the fact you knew how to use these phones and stuff earlier on.
Well, everything else is from the vending machine-- just the buns were handmade.
[ the pizza definitely has his attention, because wow what is that. it smells good though? ] Honestly, if I see chocolate in any other context than being smashed with a bat this week, I'm going to be extremely unimpress--
[ owo what's this
it's a memory (4:34 to 7:20). one that by this point, yuri is tired of having shown to anyone. or it certainly seems that way, from how he just sighs very heavily. ]
About Dorothea? [ hmm. well at least there's a pizza party happening somewhere this week. ] I don't know. Maybe? Conversations help but they don't just get rid of an association or an issue outright. She's a good woman though, I know that much.
[ ... ]
Who knows. There's a lot of parts that are rotten underneath the surface. I live with them, and suggest other people don't try to emulate them.
I don't know if they'd try to emulate them on purpose, you know. [...but.]
Even with all of the rotten stuff, it's not like there isn't a lot of good, too. Right? I already told you it's hard to think any differently about you.
People want someone they can believe in when things are looking bad, even if they don't know everything you've done to get there. That's why heroes have such a hard job.
But...maybe someday it'll be easier.
[that's all lust gets to say though before yuri is treated to whatever this is, up until 4:56:25]
[ well we'll ignore the part about not liking gangsters, but also yuri does not have an office that nice (or an office at all really) and what is meth ]
... Parallel what now?
[ this is what he's choosing to focus on, Iriesa. ]
Hehehe...a parallel world! It's a world just like the one you're in, but events in it happen differently. So they both exist, but there's always something that changes the course of that world's history.
I guess this place is kind of like a parallel world, too, since you're here but when you go back it won't be the same.
... [ iris he is just a simple ye olde. have mercy on him. ]
So... two worlds both going along at the same pace, but things happened differently. Like... I might be female, or have been born a noble? That sort of thing?
Most of the time the parallel worlds don't even know that the others exist. There's an old movie we could watch if you want, it kind of shows what it's like when a person enters an alternate dimension.
[they will let yuri watch back to the future. and nodding because yuri would be a beautiful girl, and maybe they're subtly looking at his nails to see if he needs to have them done.]
Yeah, just like that. Before I signed on with my talent agency I was doing all my own streams and everything as an internet idol. So I'd sing or dance or play games and stuff for my viewers. ...kind of like what I was doing with Envy last week.
Might be a good way of seeing how it all works, with visuals. [ if only i could tuuuurrrrnnnn baaaacccckkkk timmmmmmmeee?
his nails— well they still look good but it’s a couple of weeks in now so they’re probably showing a little wear and tear around the edges and some growth at the base. ]
... where we could see what you were doing, even though we weren’t in the room with you? [ ... huh ] That’s what you do as a job? [ it.... helps having that example to go off of, but he’s also trying to wrap his head around the idea people just watch that all the time as entertainment...? ]
Maybe after our picnic. And then I can redo your nails if you want. They still look good, but we can try a new color, too.
[with that said, they pick up one of the buns yuri brought. they can eat and talk simultaneously.]
I do other things, too. I just released a song a little while ago that I'm promoting. But yeah, that's what I do! And sometimes I'll record podcasts or other things for my fans. Plus I have merchandise now...stuff like that.
[ he will take a moment to pick up some pizza, and lust will get the delightful image of yuri trying to figure out how the fuck you eat pizza ]
... ah, singing is it? [ that combined with some of the other stuff she’s said put him on edge a little — talented young woman, living life on the stage? if she can reach more people through technology, surely it’s more dangerous than just reaching a bunch of slimy nobles in one city....? ]
— [ wait ] A podcast? That sounds like......... I don’t even know what that sounds like it could be.
[om nom. they will let yuri struggle with his pizza a bit.]
Yeah. It was Mr. Okiura's idea, but I like dancing a lot better. And a podcast is like...it's just an audio recording, so it's like hearing my voice but not seeing me in person. Does that make sense?
[they take his free hand though to look at his nails up close.] And black, I think. They'd be classy on you.
[ he's folded it in half because the toppings keep falling off? he's learning. ]
Like... someone doing a lecture, or something? [ he's just thinking of being in one of the seminars at garreg mach but it's just... ongoing. and whenever he wanted to listen to one? maybe? ] But you don't have to be in the room for it...?
[ head spinny. ]
Oh, dark. I like it. [ black nails.... ] Quite the departure from the lighter nails, yeah. How are yours looking?
Yeah! They can be about anything like a subject you want to learn or a story you want to tell or an interview with someone important. And you can broadcast it so people can hear it when they aren't in the same room, or even if they want to listen to it a few days later. It doesn't disappear.
[they nod though! black nails...] Mine need a touch-up, too, but they're doing pretty okay! You did a nice job last time.
... That's... waaay beyond my comprehension, I think. If you want to learn something, you need to be in the right place at the right time where I'm from. Accessibility is limited to where, and who you are.
[ goth yuri..... ] Really? Good to know. That was the first time I've ever painted someone's nails, after all. [ thanks for being his test subject ]
That sounds so limiting...I know it's just like that but I don't think I could really imagine not having access to information right away. That's what the internet's for.
[...guri?] You can consider yourself an expert now. I bet if you did someone else's nails they'd look just as great.
Education's still a right of the privileged where I'm from. I only know how to read and write because ... well, I wouldn't say I got lucky but it was a repayment for something my mom did. Most people where I'm from just don't get to learn.
[ and wow, it ended up being super helpful. ]
[ guri.... maybe he can hang with harrow and misa now ] An expert after one try? We'll see, if I can pull it off a few more times then I'll add that to my growing list of skills. I'd need polish for that, and make up. [ i'm sobbing he didn't ask for his eyeliner ]

[it's teasing, but they seem like they're going to say something else when suddenly they're blindsided with this?
hm. well. this is a lot.
...so lust wordlessly passes over one of the pizzas.]
...you did what you had to do back then, didn't you?
no subject
[ uuuggggghhhh. this place. he just takes the pizza with a slightly flat look, but not directly at lust specifically. ]
Pretty much. Better than starving, usually.

Do you still feel that way about her? Or about yourself, I guess?

Also, uh. A-Set?
no subject
[thank you lust. but then they nod! they also pose with their hands similarly to what was shown in the memory.]
A-set, you bet! It's a stage name for myself, but my fans call me Tesa, too. A lot of idols have them.

[ ... wow that was instant. ]
Oh. Like a theatre performer?
