[what's up dude, throné's chilling here in the titan's call!
she's like forty pages deep into the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, sitting with her leg crossed over the other. one hand is holding the book, and the other is absently swirling a wine glass. she seems very engrossed. in fact, her thoughts seem to be pretty all in on the book.
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindboggling useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: “I refuse to prove that I exist,” says God, “for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.”
“But,” says Man, “the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn’t it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don’t. QED.”
“Oh dear,” says God, “I hadn’t thought of that,” and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
“Oh, that was easy,” says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
and throné, very gracefully, snorts out loud.]

[ meanwhile todomatsu's thoughts as he sits a few seats away with his beer are just damn she's hot but hopefully that's drowned out by her book thoughts. he also thinks the snort's pretty cute. it makes her feel more approachable!
anyway. ]
Ah— is that the book they're selling here?

Yeah, that does seem to be the genre we're in now... maybe that's why they're offering it, so everyone who's unfamiliar can get a better idea of what it means.
It looks like you're enjoying it.

I'm from Earth, yeah! Never read it, though. It was written by someone in a different country from me who spoke a different language, so even though it did eventually get translated into ours, it wasn't like, a big cultural thing there.
...Though I'll admit I also just don't really read enough, haha.

[ immediate mood nosedive even though he's still smiling!! ]
Mm... I follow trends on social media, fish, play go and mahjong, go out for drinks... [ play pachinko and look at po— ] aaaand, um, mountain climbing, sometimes? And sometimes I work out at the gym, though I've been kind of bad about that lately.
[ why am i still paying for that membership... ]

...Wait, is this like, a literal bank??

(he's in this btw.) ]
Well, if you get city-wide store credits here, it's kind of like a place you go when you need money, right? [ ... ] I don't know if you can really call it "donating" anymore at that point.

[ god i'm sorry you can ignore this if you want i just dropped the ball so hard on w0 pcs ]
Yeah, it's— well, you know how we can write messages to each other on the I.R.I.S., and post messages to that HER-MES thing? It's a lot like that, except in my world there are a bunch of different websites and apps that do the same kinds of things with slightly different formats, and people post to them alllll the time.

[ it's almost time for bed, which means it's Skincare Time. so todomatsu is just there at one of the sinks in the bathroom for like, ever, cleansing and moisturizing and putting on one of his face masks. looking beautiful. ]
My nightly skincare regimen~! Or as much of one as I can follow here, anyway.
[ it's only 3 steps instead of 12... :pensive:]
I couldn't really use it for a few days [ since he had cuts all over his face ], so I've got to try to make up for lost time now.
[ also there was an octopus on his face earlier, ]

I wouldn't spend so much time and money on it if it didn't.
[ he probably would, but. ]
Moisturizing especially makes a huge difference, and it's going to be even more important if you spend any time down on this planet — skin always dries out way more in winter, so you might end up with itchy, flaky patches if you don't do something to counteract it!

[ it's his parents' money, it's fine. (it is not fine for them.) ]
Never?
[ blinks... how do you look this good, are you just bathing in the blood of your enemies ]
...Well, do you want to try some of this?
[ offers the bottle... ]
Thebe got it for me when I asked, so I assume I can get more.

Sure? I don't talk to any of them that much, but they're the one I think I mesh with the best. [ they have the cutest vibes. ] Plus they make fun drinks.
[ ... ]
...Um, you'll want to wash your face first, and then you just kind of massage it into your skin in an upward direction — you want to go against gravity.

Yeah! Pretty much anyone who cares about their appearance has at least some kind of skincare routine.
