Why experiment on yourself when you can use other people until you perfect the formula? [ yes he is still mad, don't mind him. but it fizzles out just as quickly. ]
...physically, yeah, I'm fine. I more or less stopped aging but everything's still healthy from what I can tell. The only thing that's still evolving is my brain. And that's why I picked the avatar. I wanted to make them match for once.
[ both the inside and the outside. ]

Wish you could've at least gotten a good right hook on that guy. [ shoma is so valid.
...and yeah, he nods at that. ]
Makes sense. [ not hard to see why he'd want that. but, to lighten the mood a little... kazuki looks him up and down, and gives a little grin. ] Still shorter than me, though.

Well with that endorsement, it'd also be pretty stupid of me not to check myself. I'd like to see how it works. Maybe get some ideas for myself when we're back on the ship. [ building...fast things. yes. ] Guess that's my next stop.
That makes two of us. [ but the comment does startle a laugh out of him, which is probably better than usual. ]
Hey, I had to keep it sort of realistic. I kinda doubt I would've ended up that tall in the first place.

Hey, it's not like I'm some giant. Even I'm shorter than most of the guys here.
You're almost as tall as my sister, though.
[ no, shoma is definitely taller. but he's gotta tease. ]

Ohhh, if you get any ideas, I definitely want to know. [ he likes vroom. ] Maybe they'll even have a shop you can get some new parts from, if you want - or something at that auction they were talking about?
It would kind of suck if we can't. There's a ton of music I've found here that I want to take home.
[ as for ichika... he shrugs that off, feeling a little awkward. ]
Explaining it would be the hard part.

Haha. [ he is, at least, still tall enough to kind of push at his shoulder for being a bully!! ] I would hope I'm a little taller, give me a break.
[ but he considers this... ]
My dad was, like, barely taller than me when he died. And my mom...[ sort of lingering awkward on this, like he's thinking. ] She wasn't that tall either, I think.

Yeah! [ unfortunately this planet and affection week means this is probably the most enthused about anything kazuki's seen him be. ] Yeah, definitely. There's that whole mall, so I'm going to see what I can pick up. If anything there's probably stuff I can buy just to scrap for parts in the first place, even if I'm planning on checking out the auction, too. I know what we're supposed to be focused on, but it can't hurt to look, right?
After all the grief they've given us this whole tour, you'd think they would. [ but...hum. ]
Guess it wouldn't be as easy as saying you bought it online, would it?

[ laughs like the asshole he is ]
No need to explain the thought process behind it, I was just teasing. And who knows? Sometimes you end up taller than both your parents, anyway. Maybe you would've.

Maybe I would've. [ also i'm glad i botched that i meant *i was barely taller than my dad. but regardless, it's a funny little thought. ] Judging by how tall Amame is, too, I still doubt it. But it's one of those things I guess I'll never know. I'm not that worried.
I guess one good thing about not knowing is that you aren't restricted by reality like the rest of us are. You could make this avatar whatever you wanted and no one would be able to say you're wrong.
[ listen. it's nice to see him like this before everything goes batshit over the weekend. ]
I've still got to check that place out, too.
Hey, they said they're giving us a lot of cash for that, right? I don't see why you couldn't use what's leftover for something of your own. I feel like we all deserve that after how this whole tour's gone.

I'd like to see them try to stop us.
[ as if they didn't kidnap all these people in the first place
also i'm in tears i've never thought about how online ordering works for shinjuku during the lockdown. ] Proooobably not. She knows I don't have a ton of extra spending money, and what I do have, I've been saving so I could move out. And I haven't really gotten her any gifts in a long time, either.
[ it's just a lil awkward ]

Yeah. Maybe I really should've gone taller then. [ it's easy to joke about it, but...he knows he never would have because of what it actually means. ] That's the beauty of VR though, I guess. I could log out and come back a totally different person if I really wanted to.
We've got plenty of time, at least. Or, well...you get it. [ time enough. but there's a nod. ]
That's a good point, too. Guess it's gonna depend on what's actually available and what the price is. If it's too high, not like I can bid even higher. But you're not wrong either. We definitely deserve something just to keep going.

Mm. [ okay, this is completely fair, he thinks, because it's not like he has a ton of money either so explaining anything similar to amame would likely--
--no his fucking weirdo of a sister might straight up believe he was on a space tour in a different timeline for months. god. okay. how do normal people think... ]
...Kazuki, was that conversation I saw the last one you had with her before you came here? Or one of the last, I guess.

[ amame just believing this........ ]
...Yeah, the last one. Why?
...Yeah, the last one. Why?
[ sometimes your sister's best friend is really big into aliens and conspiracy theories yeah. ]
I don't know. I'm just thinking maybe that if it was...she might not even question why you're starting now just because you haven't for a while. And she doesn't have to know how much or little money you spent on something. Maybe you found it at a good price so it didn't hurt your budget for moving out. [ he shrugs. ] But you would maybe know better.

Like [ throws dart ] Mistral-san, but blurry.
[ looks at this, looks at execution. ]
Can you imagine? [ it's funny given temenos really is kind of an opposite. ] I think I'll stick with being less blurry.
