Not... quite—but that doesn't matter. The important part is that you know both computers and cellphones are really common, and everybody uses them. A lot.

[crucifer]

Yeah, so I hear, by the way you all were ready to drag me for no reason just 'cause I didn't get to grow up with handheld phones.

So, what's that got to do with the name?

[adorabrawler]

Hey, I showed you how to use it, remember?

[ >:E ]

Telling someone to go touch grass basically means stop being a loser online and go outside.

[crucifer]

Yeah, which is why you're included. But I guess you were nicer than some...

[ In that OH, I GUESS :eye_roll: tone but not serious. ]

I guess this means go inside and be a loser online then. Charming.

[adorabrawler]

Yep! Which is probably fair. Who needs a job when you get paid just by existing around here?

[crucifer]

I wish I was paid just for existing.

You gonna show me the stuff in there?

[adorabrawler]

If you're interested. I haven't done a whole lot of VR stuff myself, either.

[crucifer]

Sure, I've got time.

[ Show him these secrets... the VR that Mizuki won't know for the next 6 years... ]

[adorabrawler]

[ her eye vr... ]

I'd be surprised if you were busy. C'mon.

[ GOING INSIDE!! ]

[crucifer]

Oi, rude. I could've been plenty busy. Things just have slowed down this week a little.

[ Also insecurity and Hei being away means he's not babysitting Vash this Monday in particular so.

GOING INSIDE!! Wots all this then. ]

[adorabrawler]

Yeah. You always busy?

[ She will wander over and lift a headset for him. ]

[crucifer]

Most of the time, yeah actually, and also depends on how I want to phrase it to get out of havin' to do shit with someone else. Like right now, I could say I'm busy explorin' the new places with you.

[ He'll take the headset but he clearly, uh, isn't a fan of it. ]

The hell is this?

[adorabrawler]

A headset. You're going to have to take off your glasses for it.

[crucifer]

Fine.

[ He'll pick them off and stick them into his pocket before... accepting the headset, holding it in his hands. ]

It goes over your head, right...

[ He can at least glean that much, even if he doesn't sound or look confident or very comfortable with it. ]

[adorabrawler]

Yep. I'll show you.

[ She picks up another headset, and after inspecting it for a moment, starts fastening it over her own face. ]

Like this. I... think. Oh, yeah, it fits.

[crucifer]

[ Well, he's just watching her with this silly VR machine over her face now. ]

Looks clunky. Can you see me through that?

[adorabrawler]

No, you're not supposed to. You see the virtual stuff! Or you do once you turn it on, anyway.

[crucifer]

Fine, fine. Jesus.

Well, I'm not seeing anything yet. You?

[adorabrawler]

Uh, no, we gotta... let's see...

[ Suddenly, the simulation flashes white! ... And stays white, because they are hanging around in a void. ]

—Oh! It's working? I think. I wonder if we just have to imagine up where we wanna go.

[crucifer]

We're in the middle of nothin', so it's definitely doin' something.

You just think about it? Guess you can take the first shot then.

[adorabrawler]

Think it'll be super hot if I put us right next to an erupting volcano?

[crucifer]

You couldn't think of something that's hot that isn't an active volcano?

[adorabrawler]

Oh, fine. I hear Death Valley is the hottest place on Earth.

[crucifer]

Well with a name like that, sounds like a no brainer. Whose wise idea was that?

[adorabrawler]

Beats me. But I'm pretty sure that's all desert, so it probably wouldn't be that interesting to you, anyway.
