[ follows! he at least seems like he's in a better mood today even as he's busy looking all over the place. ]
Yeah...I can't remember the last time either. If ever? [ does not mention other people because, well. what other people. ] It feels like every time I look at the new gates the things available to us are bigger and bigger.
Here's hoping for next week? Even though we just left the desert I wouldn't mind a little extra sun. [ wandering...he's distracted by the lights and sounds, but he seems to be leading them to the skate rental counter. ]
It's all, like, gliding isn't it? It can't be too bad.
That's reassuring. [ he doesn't seem too bothered, though now he's wondering just how hard skating can really be. give him a second to grab a pair of skates in his size. ] Just use it as blackmail for later, right?
The good thing is I've spent a ton of time studying balance on wheels. [ and speaking of, there goes roboji just hauling ass out to the rink. wheeeeee.
it's fine. he's sitting to put on his skates. ]
Anyway...after last week, I'm kind of interested in actually having some down time. So this isn't the worst way to spend it.
That's true. See, you might even have an advantage. Lower center of gravity, too.
[ nyoom goes the roboji... he watches with a soft laugh. ]
Only after last week? Come on, man, you can't work all the time. Everyone needs a break now and then. [ he says this but it's like with relief that shoma is actually bothering to. ] Then again, most of the people on this ship could use a reminder of that.
Hah...yeah. [ it is affection week so he's not too disheartened by that comment though there is a little flicker of disappointment. he would love to not be short, actually. but the moment passes as roboji happily wheels around in a circle and shoma's on his feet, steadying himself on skates. okay. weird.
but there's a soft laugh to that anyway. ]
I know. But I'm kind of used to it? I like working on stuff and keeping busy, it's...kind of what I do at home. You're not wrong though. This is the kind of thing where everybody has to take a break just to keep going. Maybe that's why we came to this planet next on the tour.
Keeping busy is one thing, but there's such a thing as too much. [ he will die on this hill. ] Maybe you're right, though. This planet's not a bad place to relax.
[ he knows kazuki's not exactly wrong, but look. sometimes you really don't have anything else to do but work and find a way to occupy your time. ]
Yeah. You saw the hotel they're letting us stay at, right? I haven't looked around outside too much yet, but it's my next plan for later. This is one of the planets I'm gonna really regret not exploring if I don't.
Yuri already told me she's staying at the hotel all week and that I may as well, too. [ so yeah? of course?? ] If we're not paying for it, it seems rude not to, right?
[ good excuse. ]
You tested it out already? I read about it in the dossier but I haven't gone myself yet.
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.
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?
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?
[ 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.
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.
Sounds like we're just gonna have to be fast enough to scope the place out and place bids before anybody else can. [ heh... ] But it already sounds infinitely better than last week's workload. I'm not gonna complain.
Yeah, it's popular in science fiction a lot of the time because it's usually tied to...infinite power and time. Generally speaking it's just a four-dimensional cube, but it still opens up the concept of a separate level and circumventing limitations.
But you're right. We should be able to test stuff. Why would anyone bid on something they don't know they'll be able to use?

[ one is fun! The other is miserable and also filled with disgusting worm goop. kazuki looks… a little amused, though. ]
It isn’t. And if you bite it, I won’t tell anyone.
