if anyone can tell me how to get videogames or proper internet on this thing i will do a dare of ur choice and let u record the results for posterity/blackmail/whatever u want

in the meantime i've got way too much time to kill so let's play would you rather

for those of you poor souls who've never known the glory of the internet, it goes like this: someone posts two things (the more ridic the better) and people respond with their decision on which they'd rather do and then come up with their own two things

it ends up with us all judging each other's life and choices and nobody lives happily ever after (◡‿◡✿)

i'll start with something appropriate to our upcoming ~mission~

would you rather...
be eaten by a zombie, or burnt at the stake?

[hedonistic]

Huh? Sure, I guess.

[He's not exactly a great teacher or anything, but he could at least show her the ingredients and steps and such?]

Are you used to cooking at all or would this be starting from scratch for you?

[p66]

I'm reasonably good at it. Just the recipe will do.

[ She has to be or she can't feed her teammates. In any case, she should thank her benefactor: ]

By the way, what's your name?

[hedonistic]

Okay, cool. What's your network un? I'll text it to you.

[What's writing things down with pencil and paper he's nOT A CAVEMAN.]

And I'm Kagari.

[p66]

[ There's a brief moment of surprise on her expression before it resolves into a (slightly awkward) smile. ]

Hello, Kagari-san. I'm Reika.

[ The girl he talked over the network!! Which means she'll give him another slight bow as acknowledgement. ]

It's nice to see you in person.

[hedonistic]

[For his part, Kagari doesn't look awkward, but his smile does dim a couple watts. He's a bit sore about the whole thing, her and Sonia's reactions serving as a bitter reminder of who and what he is--not fit to live among "wholesome" people like them--but he's determined to put it out of his mind and forget about it.]

Oh. Hey, Reika-chan.

[But standing around and think-typing a message to her over the jewelry now would be awkward, so:]

Actually, I'll show you how to do it. C'mon.

[p66]

[ The change in his expression isn't missed - she thinks back to the post and how she hasn't read half of it, but she can guess. ]

Oh, you would? Thank you...

[ It seems like she's pretty much imposing on him, but if he's willing then she supposes it would be rude to not follow. ]

Have you eaten already?

[ If so, maybe she can take some back for Julius. ]

[hedonistic]

Nah, not yet.

[She had shown up just as he was finishing, but he didn't mind sharing, either.]

Soooo the first part is getting the ingredients, of course.

[Which is easy, because he just sort of has to think them?? at the kitchen??? and then they show up in the shelves/fridge....]

Heat up that pan for me, would you? While I shred the cheese and chop up the lettuce.

[p66]

[ That makes him doubly kind to just ditch his dinner to help her. She won't be forgetting this for a long time. ]

Of course. [ She's still amazed at how fast this place produces the things they need... still, she gets to work rather quickly, and he's able to tell that she's experienced. ] What type of cheese do you usually use?

[hedonistic]

Whatever's available, honestly. Most of ours is synthetic, anyway.

[Japan used to import most of its cheese and now that trade no longer happens, it's probably some rare-ass shit in 2112. But let's say Kagari mentioned some kind of cheese he likes using anyway because maybe some rich asshole decided to make a business swindling rich people with a home-made cheese-making business and enforcers can save up to order that shit online with the salary that they do get or something, waves hands.]

[p66]

[ She hasn't heard that name before, but it's worth writing down nevertheless.

Reika is the naturally silent type, so she won't bring up much conversation unless Kagari starts first. He must still be in a not-so-good mood after the network post, anyway. ]

[hedonistic]

[On the contrary, he hates dwelling on things that made him unhappy, he's already Very Intentionally moving on with his life. At least a few people humored him in the end, too, which was also cool.]

Soooo, what do you like to eat usually, Reika-chan?

[p66]

I'm okay with most things. [ She can't be picky when she's not the one cooking... ] I have a friend back home who's really good at cooking. It's always a joy to eat what she makes.

[ But really, things aren't so good back home so she'll let others pick first. As long as it's edible, she'll take it. ]

[hedonistic]

Nooooo, that doesn't answer the question. [UR NOT GETTIN OUTTA IT THAT EASY, REIKA-CHAN]

If you were stuck on a deserted island and got to have like, one favorite meal with you, what'd it be.

[p66]

[ SHE'S BUSTED!! ]

Ah... well. [ She has to think. ] I'm not picky about food, but... curry would be nice.

[ Does that count as a valid answer? ]

[hedonistic]

Gotcha. Any particular kind?

[p66]

[ What is he up to... ]

Not really. Though, I sometimes have trouble with the super spicy kind...

[ Ah, but! ]

What's your favourite food?

[hedonistic]

[NOTHING. YET.]

[WHAT'S THIS THO, A KINDRED SPIRIT IN FOOD TASTE???]

Oh man, I feel you, Reika-chan. I hate spicy food too.

[which is a tragedy tbh, spicy food is love is life shuusei kagari. smh.]

I don't really have a favorite, but I like making this dish the most, so I guess that counts?

[p66]

It's a very unique dish.

[ that's supposed to be a compliment. ]

Is it usually made with beef only?

[hedonistic]

It's how I always do it, but you could substitute it with whatever. I mean, real meat's not exactly the easiest to come by in my Japan, anyway.

[p66]

Yeah, I get that.

[ It's the same in her world too. Animals were much of a legend there. ]

[hedonistic]

Don't tell me your Japan stopped importing food, too.

[w h y....u don't even have the sybil system to worry about....y deny urselves...]

[p66]

We make our own mostly, but we don't have farm animals around anymore.

[ Yeah, the food is synthetic and made in factories. ]

[hedonistic]

[He was not...expecting to have that in common with her tbh.]

Why? I mean, I know why we do it, but you guys haven't cut yourself off from the rest of the world--right?

[p66]

No, we haven't.

[ She's been avoiding the topic of talking about her homeworld in that aspect, but well. ]

Decades ago, monsters appeared on our Earth suddenly. They were practically invincible and destroyed much of the world. A lot of the animals that we used to keep were all killed too.

[ Earth's population declined by a factor of a thousand, maybe even more. ]

[hedonistic]

[. . .]

.....You were literally invaded by aliens.

[what the fuck reika-chan]
