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. ]

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.

... 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.

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 ]

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.

I considered saving a little to maybe get an augment, but... that was a little too ambitious. Thank you for the encouragement, Shu.
no subject
An augment?
no subject
[ says it like it's totally normal ]
The cheapest ones are still very expensive...
no subject
[ which is also very expensive, actually. ]

[ and not corrective surgery ]

Normally it's just... fixing what's already not working correctly. Like when people don't want to wear glasses.
no subject
[ 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 ]
no subject
[ gregor could tell them. gregooorrr. share your glasses woes. ]
no subject
... I'll be thankful for my own vision being decent.
[ Despite only having one eye. ]
no subject
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.
no subject
[ Not like she would know personally, right!! ]
no subject
Our bodies are pretty good at adapting. Must be a pretty big change if you want to augment something.

[ 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.
