[ she's so sad about not going to the fairground he's like uhhhhh you should go. feels bad. ]
Maybe there's a fairground planet.
[ there is not. ]
But if they are going to be paying us the amount they're saying they will, you should do something fun with the money as well as being responsible with it. Balance, right?

[ She smiles at the mention of a fairground planet. That would be one huge fairground... ]
Yes! I'll definitely be responsible with it. I have been good with budgeting things for myself on very limited amount of money.

There's something to be said about not having a lot of money. Not in the long run, but you know how to budget and not blow it when you actually get your hands on some.
[ genuinely excited to see what kinds of planets there are... aaaaa. ]

I would never...
[ She smiles. ]
I considered saving a little to maybe get an augment, but... that was a little too ambitious. Thank you for the encouragement, Shu.

They're like human enhancements.
[ says it like it's totally normal ]
The cheapest ones are still very expensive...

Like... getting lazer eye surgery?
[ which is also very expensive, actually. ]
[ which is also very expensive, actually. ]
Um... I suppose that could enhance eyesight to higher than humanly possible, so that could happen.
[ and not corrective surgery ]
[ and not corrective surgery ]
[ he is absolutely just thinking of corrective surgery ]
Normally it's just... fixing what's already not working correctly. Like when people don't want to wear glasses.

That sounds very luxurious.
[ Fixing eyesight? Just because they don't want to wear glasses? Damn, dude. ]
People would usually try to adapt to overcome their shortcomings.
[ basically git gud or die ]

Glasses kinda are the adaptation. Probably a pain if you're fighting or working out and they slip down your nose though?
[ gregor could tell them. gregooorrr. share your glasses woes. ]

... I'll be thankful for my own vision being decent.
[ Despite only having one eye. ]

[ hmm. yeah. ]
They say if your senses are lacking in some way, the others work double time to make up for it. Like people with glasses have really good hearing.

Oh... you're right. That's what it looks like when I see others.
[ Not like she would know personally, right!! ]
[ Not like she would know personally, right!! ]
[ right!! yuri your EYE. ]
Our bodies are pretty good at adapting. Must be a pretty big change if you want to augment something.

If anything, it would have felt reassuring that maybe I could get out of something unscathed. But I won't need it anymore.
[ welcome. it's your first pizza party! also 
, truly.
shu's sat on one of the seating areas at the observation deck -- he's smoking, almost a little aggressively, and reading something on his IRIS pretty closely. he waves a hand when he realises someone else is here. ]
...
[ he doesn't look up though. ]

Yuri carts in a mop and other cleaning equipment because she sure feels compelled to clean a little more. The windows can be sparkly to view the stars better.
Well. She's not very upbeat, but she finds Shu there. Yuri won't tell him to not smoke, so she'll just get to cleaning a window near him instead. Maybe he's super focused on something and she wouldn't want to bother him. ]

Living in The City is dangerous for anyone, especially the Backstreets. People dying often or disappearing is... normal.
[ Hm. ]
So I won't have to worry about it anymore if I don't return. There seems to be some self-defense needed here, but it doesn't feel as dire.

[ send it back...
well.
shu's mid typing something when he realises whoever's here is lingering. and also making a start on cleaning the window...?
he does look up when he realises that. he's heard of cleaning for stress relief, sure, but he's never seen it before. ]
... What're you doing?

[ I want a refund... ]
Oh, um... cleaning.
[ Thank you Miss Obvious. ]
Am I a bother? I can leave...

[ and a free dessert. ]
...
No, it's fine. Just-- is this a stress thing?

[ Yuri shakes her head no. ]
I just felt the need to clean today. It'll be cleaner, nice to look at, and...
[ She closes her eye and quietly breathes out. ]
... anyway, what are you doing?

... Stuff like that happens in a lot of places, but I wouldn't say it gets to the point you'd call it normal.
[ ahh, the city. what a trash pile. ]
You planning on sticking around then? After the eight weeks are up.
