[ So far, the simulation room has been Yuri's favorite place to just chill. That's why she's here again today, but she sees someone inside, making her stop right outside the doorway. It's Shu! Maybe he's busy using it...? But there's nothing simulated.
Not a lot stands out as exciting, but… [ give him a moment, he’ll fiddle with the IRIS for a bit before the room flickers and turns into this scene.
it’s very loud, and very bright, with people milling around everywhere. shu somehow looks simultaneously relieved at the familiar, and put off by the number of people. ]
[ Despite the number of people, Yuri sees that none of them bump into them. Wow. She looks like she's in awe of her surroundings. ]
This... isn't exciting to you? There are so many things going at once.
[ Families with children walking here and there happily? Fun events? Rides? Yuri wonders if some of them are safety hazards, because she's never seen some of these before. ]
That was how I got bullied into going. Owed a housemate a favour, and she wanted to make memories with everyone.
[ ... ]
I think she enjoyed it. She wouldn't have wanted to go if she thought it would suck. Maybe you could try and go to one with someone when it's a bit quieter?
Something like this? It's not pocket change, but it's not hundreds of dollars or anything like that. Teuta won tickets to this place, so we only had to spring for food.
[ for a guy who didn't really even want to go to the fairground, he's really trying to push going to the fairground. ]
[ Yuri notices that and wonders why he's making the effort to do so, but she tries to think of what to say in response. ]
Well... working on this ship looks like it'll give decent pay with benefits, so I think I can finally start saving to go to one. It's too bad, since I don't think we can go on the rides here. Then it would be free, wouldn't it?
[ 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?
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. ]

Excuse me...?
no subject
he doesn't though, not before yuri finds him. ]
Hm?
[ oh. ]
Hey.
no subject
[ She says that, and that's why she's still in the doorway instead of actually being inside the room. ]
no subject
[ well.
he looks down at his IRIS. ]
Thought about it, but I’m not sure there’s anywhere I want to see right now.
no subject
I think you can choose locations that you're familiar with as well...
[ But maybe Shu is like her and most places in the homeworld kinda suck? ]
no subject
[ he doesn't seem to be doing anything though. ] I see them every day. I'm not homesick yet.
no subject
I don't know if I can be of much help, but... are there any general places that you don't like?
[ She's trying to be helpful in ruling things out. ]
no subject
... Did you come in here to use the simulation yourself?
no subject
I wanted to see what kind of place you'd like to have here.
[ Shu is very much an enigma, after all. Yuri is curious. ]

And it looks... fun.
no subject
[ sometimes
you are just like this. ]
I guess it is. It's built for it, so it'd be kinda useless if people didn't have a good time here.
no subject
Did you?
[ She looks up at him. It's a place that he chose, after all. ]
no subject
Good question.
If I was having a good time, it got soured at the end.
[ he squints at the ferris wheel lazily turning in the background. ] You've never been to a fairground like this?
no subject
Never. I don't like being in huge crowds either.
[ Probably for different outcast reasons, but either way. She gets it. ]
But I think... coming to a place like this with someone would have been really memorable. I don't think I'd ever forget such an experience.
no subject
[ ... ]
I think she enjoyed it. She wouldn't have wanted to go if she thought it would suck. Maybe you could try and go to one with someone when it's a bit quieter?
no subject
... I'm not sure if I want to return. And... I don't have anyone to go with.
[ Her voice gets quieter and quieter, but. ]
So seeing things like this is enough for me.
no subject
Not attached to where you came from? [ given the little he's heard he... somehow is not surprised. ]
You can always go solo to these things. But people will tell you it's more fun in a group. Hence all the people.
[ a self perpetuating problem ]
no subject
In addition to the gloominess, loneliness seeps out in waves. Poor Shu, being blasted by all these. ]
For some reason, I imagine that going to one is expensive. That's money I don't have. But... I'll consider it. Thank you, Shu.

Yes! I'll definitely be responsible with it. I have been good with budgeting things for myself on very limited amount of money.
no subject
[ genuinely excited to see what kinds of planets there are... aaaaa. ]
no subject
[ 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.
