If you're gonna steal something from the gift shop, might as well be a fun t-shirt, right?

If you tell me you think that the Ancient Earth is a flat planet, then I don't think we can be friends anymore.
[ flat earthers
anyway he's joking, and when date pulls out a shirt, he brightens up, like, immediately. ] Oh- cute! It's cute! Let me see.
[ let him just like hold this up to his frame.... he looks like, maximum dad right now. ] It's funny. I feel a little like a tourist.

Iiiiiiit's not though.
[ he's a modern kinda guy.
he will hand it over. pose away lbx. ]
Technically we are, for the moment. At least we know where to grab souvenirs from.

[ hmmmm ]
If I did, I wouldn't know about it.
[ he picks up an hippo headed claw toy and makes its mouth snap a few times. huh. ]

[ he picks up an hippo headed claw toy and makes its mouth snap a few times. huh. ]
Me either.
[ ah - commiserating, in that regard. he laughs a little, watching him pick up the claw toy as he picks up a pair of sunglasses and plops them on his nose. ]
The Eighth was always too poor for stuff like this, and god knows I couldn't go out of the house to see it, even if we weren't.

So, is it the higher the number the higher the general wealth or something?
[ oh very stylish, 10/10. i love that these d&g glasses are being used for cheap gift store visuals, it's what they deserve. ]
Money wasn't the issue, exactly. For me. I just straight up don't remember.

[ he shakes his head. ]
No. The First is the richest, but the rest were all pretty well off. The Eighth Galaxy is just the exception.
[ sort of the dredge of the IUS's society, at least. as he adjusts the sunglasses, he looks at his expression in the mirror, and then pauses, glancing back at date. ]
...At all?

Just... luck of the draw?
[ sweet eighth... but he nods. ]
At all.
[ sweet eighth... but he nods. ]
At all.
... Ah. [ he can... glean a little something from that. government corruption? meddling from somewhere at the very least.
for a brief moment, he looks kind of amused. ]
I wouldn't know, would I?

Dunno. Would you?
Might be something terrible and traumatic happened to me, and forgetting was a blessing in diguise.

[ he thinks about it for a moment, in the context of his own life. the forbidden fruit that he'd finally confirmed, and the way it changed his world view. ]
...I think I'd have to know. [ he smiles a little at that, though, rueful. ] Ignorance for me has never been bliss. But... that's just me.

I’m not so sure. But I’m also pretty fine with my life, and maybe I don’t want to upend it for my own curiosity.
[ does he want to just… find something out and shake the foundations of his life, when he has things to focus on and a kid to take care of? ]
But… memories can come back on their own. Maybe I don’t have much of a choice.

Mm.
[ it's a difference between them, really, but it's also - well. bixing recognizes his own curiosity as the kind that kills the cat. it's a positive trait, but it's an extremely negative one, too.
he nods, though, thoughtful. ]
Just rather wait it out, to see if they do. [ which is a totally fine and valid way to live your life. it's at this moment that he picks up a little animal hand puppet from the stuffed animal area. it's a lion, and then sticks it on his hand and mimes in a silly voice, cheerfully, like a dork - ] Super mature, Date!

[ not spoil or anything but he was about to super not have a choice in remembering just before coming here. lmao. lol. ]
…
[ he uses the hippo to chomp on the lion hand puppet. ] I’m a beacon of maturity in these trying times. [ SAYS THE MAN WHO WILL ARGUE WITH REDFILBO ABOUT BEEFUCKING IN LIKE THREE HOURS. ]
I dunno. If they don’t, it’s not like I’m unhappy or feel like I’m missing something in my life. It’s pretty full. If they do, well. Hopefully they’ll be gentle with me.

[ lu bixing is... well, he's reading. he's working. these are the things that he does to cope. it could be worse, maybe? probably?
he's also in the library, cooped up somewhere in a corner, but when he sees date like this, he leaves for a bit... and when he comes back, he sets down a to go cup of coffee and nudges it across the table. ]
Here.

[ there's just a mrrrrrgh sound from under the book.
mrrrrrrrrrgh. ]
...
[ eventually, the book moves up and date stares at the coffee for a moment. ]
Ah. Thanks.

Not really sure what there is to talk about, honestly. Other than going over everything we missed, obsessively, like I'm some kind of hamster on a wheel.
[ what an image he is painting with his words. ]
