[STAR ROOM STAR ROOM!! Mahito's lying on the floor, looking up toward the constellations. He'll look over when he hears Yuri, though, and raise a hand.]
Ah - hi. [A beat.] You were close with Luca, yeah?
[Maybe Omi too, damn he doesn't know everyone's friendship business. Still, must've been an unpleasant week.]
[please do trample him without mercy, it is what he deserves.]
I wasn't gonna ask anything else. [He reaches out, gently patting Yuri's foot.] It just seemed to be a rough week for a lot of people. I didn't really talk to him but he seemed nice and well-liked, you know?
[Though he personally only cared about Steven, RIP to Luca and Vlad.]
Thanks for allowing a flea to pat your foot, Yuri.]
Yeah, that's true. The one time I talked to him, I think he was trying to like, fix something? He tried getting his hands on some tools, anyway. Seemed like the kind that'd help everyone out.
He makes a little humming sound at that, though, and briefly glances back up toward the stars.]
Yeah. I'm gonna take advantage of the time I have here. [NO MORE NOT TALKING TO CERTAIN PEOPLE, NOW HE WILL PLAGUE EVERYONE WITH HIS PRESENCE!!] I don't like regretting stuff.
That's not a bad way to go about it. Talk to who you want to talk to, everyone here comes from so many different places I can tell you that it doesn't get boring.
Yeah, that's really true! Everyone I've talked to so far has had a lot of interesting stuff to say. There are worlds out there that are really nothing like the one I know...
Uh... [Him braincell. Give him a second to think.] The technology's not super far from what we have here, for starters. All of the stuff you'd find in the rec room and common room are totally normal. We have real big cities with huuuge buildings that go up hundreds of feet into the air, but we also have, like... giant forests and natural hot springs and mountains and stuff.
Oh, they do that, too. There are even some buildings that are so huge, they're basically just cities. But! You have more real estate if you build up, you know? There's only so much ground you can cover, but if you're building up, you can go way high into the sky.
[ HIS FLEADORA. THE FLEADORA FOR MAHITO, MAHITO'S FLEADORA. ]
... Is that so? It feels like we have too much empty space where I'm from. You'd build, say, a castle higher up for fortification purposes and often to be the centre point of the city it's in, but... houses don't tend to be multiple floors high.
Or, rather, the basic ones in villages aren't. Fancier houses owned by the rich would be more likely to be multiple rooms and floors.
[STOP I HATE READING FLEADORA I'M RUNNING FROM HERE]
Oh! That sounds a little bit like how things used to be, for us. [THE YE OLDE DAYS... ie anything before computers happened.]
We used to have castles but no one really uses them anymore, I think? They're like, heritage sites and stuff. [A little, sloping shrug.] That's a European thing though, mostly. Not really where I'm from.
Yeah. Does that mean you guys don't have toasters or anything, either? [Why is toasters the first thing he mentions when talking about grand tech from the future...]
But that might be the case, yeah! From what I've seen here, any place with humans generally progresses in a similar way. [For better or worse!]
Mm - depends on where you are, I guess. Some places have apartments, which are tall buildings where everyone just kinda rents their own room inside! But if you go further out in the country, you'll usually find more houses. Most of the ones where I come from are one floor, too.
... The... little rectangle that makes bread crunchy? That's definitely new to me. You'd just heat it over the fire if you want the texture change where I'm from.
That makes us all sound like a rabble, rather than multiple, individual people.
... so even in modern spaces you don't always get a lot of room to live. But that sounds like more of a population thing than a cost and available building materials thing?
Yeah, those! Wow... Getting used to everything here must be a lot, huh? How do you like it?
[It's all convenient to him, but he also knows how electricity works... Ah, ye oldes. Regarding the rabble, he just hums a little, moving on instead.]
Kinda? There are tons of people, but it's also way more expensive to have a house than just rent an apartment. Houses in the city are like, a million dollars. [HE IS PERHAPS EXAGGERATING but he's also a spirit he doesn't know shit about the economy.]

week 2, sunday, post execution
Hey.
[ what's up flea man. ]
no subject
Ah - hi. [A beat.] You were close with Luca, yeah?
[Maybe Omi too, damn he doesn't know everyone's friendship business. Still, must've been an unpleasant week.]
no subject
That depends on what you're about to ask me next.
[ damn, who's who of friendships. ]
no subject
I wasn't gonna ask anything else. [He reaches out, gently patting Yuri's foot.] It just seemed to be a rough week for a lot of people. I didn't really talk to him but he seemed nice and well-liked, you know?
[Though he personally only cared about Steven, RIP to Luca and Vlad.]
no subject
He was. Kinda difficult not to like someone who's trying their best, don't you think?
[ the footpat is allowed. ]
no subject
Thanks for allowing a flea to pat your foot, Yuri.]
Yeah, that's true. The one time I talked to him, I think he was trying to like, fix something? He tried getting his hands on some tools, anyway. Seemed like the kind that'd help everyone out.
no subject
sure, aki. ]
He was a scientist. Or... something like it. It doesn't surprise me.
no subject
Eh, was he? I guess he seems like the science-y type... [He's a wholeass twink nerd.] Kinda wish I'd talked to him more.
no subject
Yeah. He was pretty passionate about it. [ ... ] Wishing now doesn't really do a lot of good, does it?
no subject
He makes a little humming sound at that, though, and briefly glances back up toward the stars.]
Yeah. I'm gonna take advantage of the time I have here. [NO MORE NOT TALKING TO CERTAIN PEOPLE, NOW HE WILL PLAGUE EVERYONE WITH HIS PRESENCE!!] I don't like regretting stuff.

2/2
[ taking to aoi? wild. ]
no subject
Yeah, that's really true! Everyone I've talked to so far has had a lot of interesting stuff to say. There are worlds out there that are really nothing like the one I know...
no subject
What's your world like then? For comparison's sake.
no subject
[A BEAT.]
I'm not very good at this.
no subject
...
[ well. he thinks he got it? ]
Do you mean just... really big buildings, or are they built on high ground, or... are they floating...?
[ clarify pls. ]
no subject
They're big buildings! We're not advanced enough to have floating buildings, hah. We can't even fully live in space yet.
[THEIR WILDASS TECH.]
But yeah, some buildings are tall enough to have, like, over two hundred floors or something.
no subject
... [ space. ] So you just... build up really high? Why not build outwards?
no subject
Oh, they do that, too. There are even some buildings that are so huge, they're basically just cities. But! You have more real estate if you build up, you know? There's only so much ground you can cover, but if you're building up, you can go way high into the sky.
no subject

no subject
Makes sense. You mentioned the technology you know is closer to this sort of technology, so you are probably from a more modern era than I am.
[ ... ] I wonder if in the future buildings will be tall and reaching into the sky where I'm from too.
[ oh. then. ]
What type of buildings do you have then?
no subject
Yeah. Does that mean you guys don't have toasters or anything, either? [Why is toasters the first thing he mentions when talking about grand tech from the future...]
But that might be the case, yeah! From what I've seen here, any place with humans generally progresses in a similar way. [For better or worse!]
