Like... getting lazer eye surgery?

[ which is also very expensive, actually. ]

[applebough]

Um... I suppose that could enhance eyesight to higher than humanly possible, so that could happen.

[ and not corrective surgery ]

[roseoftexas]

[ 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.

[applebough]

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 ]

[roseoftexas]

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. ]

[applebough]

[ She doesn't want to think about more money............ ]

... I'll be thankful for my own vision being decent.

[ Despite only having one eye. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ 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.

[applebough]

Oh... you're right. That's what it looks like when I see others.

[ Not like she would know personally, right!! ]

[roseoftexas]

[ right!! yuri your EYE. ]

Our bodies are pretty good at adapting. Must be a pretty big change if you want to augment something.

[applebough]

If anything, it would have felt reassuring that maybe I could get out of something unscathed. But I won't need it anymore.

[roseoftexas]

You won't need it?

[applebough]

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.

[roseoftexas]

... 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.

[applebough]

I am.

[ Then things get complicated over the week, but I just wanted to put this there so that Shu knows about it FEEL FREE TO HANDWAVE THE REST OF THIS ]

[ lifts you and twirls ]
