TEXT, UN: GEKOKUJOU

[liquidate]

i've been reading up on the outer space

(he hasn't read anything.)

bajikan is cool and their weird food's good, but i was looking forward to seeing stars...
where are they, behind that big fire planet blinding everybody???
that thing's overkill if you ask me
we've even been passing a bunch of ugly rocks and i haven't seen one that twinkles at me yet
clearly this is impossible, because there are so many stars in the sky and you think we'd pass by at least one by now?!
these books i've been slaving over are all liars

(he hasn't read anything.)

does anyone know how long i have to wait?
we've gotta be reaching the inner space soon and i don't want to miss them
get back to me quickly
suigetsu, out!

I'll keep that in mind if I ever meet him.

Why not? I ran into the same problem when I first got here, too. There are a lot of books to go through on the Eluvio, but most of them are written in languages I've never seen before.

Where do you want to meet? It might be easier and safer for me to bring the books to you if you already know which room you're in.

i'm in 307!!!
right now, even!

if you could bring a bunch over that'd be awesome

[yokunaru]

OK give me about 15 minutes to get everything. I'll be there soon!

[Sure enough, there's a knock on the door a little while later!]

[liquidate]

(the door is opening immediately, suigetsu standing there contentedly with a rather... awkward greeting.)

You look exactly how I pictured. I knew a smart guy with glasses would contact me about books, come in, come in!

(he's only talked to weirdos until now (and is one himself), sue him.)

[yokunaru]

"A smart guy with glasses"? [Alright, he's a little bemused, but Yuuri doesn't exactly care if he looks bookish or not, so he just shrugs it off and walks in.]

Ah, I brought a few books I went through in my first month here. I found these in the lounge areas on the residence floors. Where do you want me to put them?

[liquidate]

Oh, just about anywhere you like. There's no rhyme or reason to where I put stuff.

(he's motioning around the room, thankfully a familiarly mirrored image of yuuri's. he has yet to add any personality to it, but there is a rather impressive portrait of him hung up in the porthole window.

takes a seat on the corner of his bed. he sure is glad this guy can speak in his language, it saves a lot of unnecessary listening to his communicator.)

Which ones are your favourite? Are they easy to read when you only speak one language?

[yokunaru]

[He ends up setting the books on the desk, pausing to study that portrait he's hung up. Huh. It looks sort of familiar...]

Hmm? [Oh yeah, he's supposed to be helping. Yuuri pulls out one of the books from the small stack and sets it aside.] This one helped a lot. I didn't know much about space in the beginning either, and this explains the basics.

It's in English, though... I'm guessing you don't know that language?

(yuuri and suigetsu, graced by dave's artistic abilities.

suigetsu is leaning forward to peer at the cover of the book, eyebrows high.)

Nope, I've never heard of "English" before. (admittedly, far from ashamed that he's having a bit of difficulty — this is just how it is, after all.) What I speak is just... The common language in my world that we all learn and understand. Everyone speaks it, even the people far away.
