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.]
... Well. Some of it seems important, and relevant and useful? Like the hot water available whenever you want. And the freezer. Some of it is just strange. Like the game machines.
[ he has played the game machines. ]
Good to see money's the route of most problems, even countless years into the future. [ does yuri even know what a million is ]

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

Those are super important, too! Without them, we'd all die of boredom.
[He says it with a light and teasing tone, though. He does love games, but he can entertain himself with just a fuckin bubble wand. He's set for life.
But yeah literally just THUMBS UP. HE JUST GIVES YURI A THUMBS UP.]
Yep! It's always gonna be one of the big ones, hah.
no subject
... You could just read a book. Or play cards.
[ or something like that. ]
Hopefully someone can at least get it to even out, just a little. It's bad enough as it is back home.
no subject
[He's never seen it but he's assuming like 50% of the population would just give up and die on the spot. As for their economically cursed future:]
Maybe... [Said with the air of "haha, it will not".] What's it like for you, then?
no subject
[ maybe you will find cards fun, mahito? you don't know. ]
... [ hm. ] Rich people are right, poor people are poor. Sounds like it's a tale as old as time.
no subject
[They're all gonna die. BUT AH, THAT SURE IS JUST. That sure is just the... the tie that binds... (Sheila voice) why couldn't it be puppies.]
Seems like a lot of places share commonalities when it comes to their core problems, huh? Even if they're entire worlds away.
[It's almost like the real core problem is, like, humans or something, damn.]
no subject
[ ... but there are puppies now at least! ]
Seems so. Maybe we're all just prone to the same mistakes. Or caught up in the tide of people making them.
no subject
[Said with a little bit of a laugh... Fuckin RIP ye oldes. But at least they do indeed have puppies.]
Seems like that's pretty true, though. Both things are true, probably.
no subject
[ they DO. and KITTIES. ]
Dangerous combination, isn't it?
no subject
[Just take a wholeass plumbing system and also electricity. WHERE ARE THE KITTIES THOUGH WHO'S HOLDING OUT.]
Hah - yep! But we've all managed to make it this far without completely wiping ourselves out, somehow.
no subject
Like a whole ... electric thing?
[ he doesn't know how it works ]
For the moment.
no subject
Yeah! You could invent electricity! It'd make you super popular for sure. Just be careful that no one steals your lightbulbs.
[What helpful advice from the distant future... ANYWAY.]
Sounds kinda dire when you put it like that.
no subject
... If I can figure out how to invent something when I don't know how it works, sure.
[ thanks, mahito. ]
It kind of is, don't you think?
no subject
[PROBLEM SOLVED. Unfortunately he has a peanut brain and is not the person to ask...
But he just shrugs a little - and then nods.]
Yeah, you're right. That's just how things are, though.
no subject
[ he doubts. ]
... A bit defeatist of us though, huh. It helps to try and change things, even if it's only a little at a time.
no subject
[He's the most helpful modern HERE, damn. He's also just giving Yuri a mildly curious look at that, before he eventually nods.]
That's a good perspective to have.
no subject
[ hilarious. ]
I think so. Even if it's not exactly easy.
no subject
[He too finds that hilarious. Lead the revolution, Yuri, he's cheering you on.
Then, with a note of mild jest:] You like doing stuff the hard way, huh?
no subject
Sometimes that's the only way to do it. Slow and steady, clawing your way the whole time.
no subject
Sounds like you're speaking from experience.
no subject
My life has been clawing my way upwards. That's just how it is.
