[The user can't be seen just yet but he can be heard. The camera is pointed at a large soaking tub in a modern bathroom and the speaker seems overly excited about it all.]

Look at this! It's quite amazing, isn't it? The water is right there, just with a twist.

[A hand reaches out to turn a nob and water rushes out.]

Both hot and cold! It's genius!

Do you think this is easy to break? It looks quite sturdy.

Oh! This is exciting! What great things this place has! I want to try it out!

[ Have your son with his chin in his hand, looking at ... all of this. And not hearing the splashing only because it's a bIG HOUSE. ]

If you really try, I have no doubt that you can break it, but they are reasonably durable under normal circumstances.

[noenvy]

Don't say that Sizhui! My dreams are already bring crushed.

["Normal circomstances" he thought that was already the case with wooden ones!]

Isn't it clever? The stove is, too. This place is full of wonders. There are curtains that change colors with a button and clothing that can become anything you wish it to be.

[sizhui]

Hmm... Is the dream to break it or to not break it? It's a little unclear.

[noenvy]

Anything? Is that true? Have you tried it?

[noenvy]

I don't want him to break it!

[sizhui]

Then talk to him? By this time he has some idea what things are durable enough.

[noenvy]

Does he?

[He had doubt, but then, it had taken him three times and a warning to give up on tubs.]

Well, I certainly wouldn't recommend trying to break it, unless you'd like to turn your bathroom into an above-ground swimming pool.

Ah, but modern conveniences are certainly something, aren't they! I can hardly imagine going back to the dark ages before indoor plumbing and electricity!

[noenvy]

I don’t want to! But there’s someone that has a problem and I hope this is strong against them.

It is quite a marvel, if I never have to go back to fetching buckets of water to fill a bath it will be a blessing.

[He speaks as if he has recently had to do that, which he hasn’t at all.]

I don’t know how I feel about the toilet being in the house though, that feels wrong.

[meinwaifu]

Oh, you're not alone in thinking that! Surely a separate room makes much more sense? And yet something like that would likely be considered a luxury here.

[Actual Weeaboo Mephisto Pheles over here naturally prefers the Japanese-style of keeping them in separate rooms.]

But my, you must be experiencing quite the culture shock, even compared to other new arrivals. I take it things weren't quite so advanced where you come from?

[noenvy]

A separate room would definitely be better. Though, I guess since it's not a pit it's not too terrible.

Things were not so bright and loud, indefinitely didn't have all of these fancy tools. But! It is rather exciting to see what innovation can bring!

It's powered by chrome, right? What an amazing energy!

[Cue a video of very comfortable looking, smiling shijie lounging in a lavender dress on what appears to be some kind of sofa.]

I did once. The shopkeeper let me try it out as a product demonstration. I think it was against store policy.

[Is that a slight trace of smugness in her tone? It just might be.]

I didn't purchase them myself because I'm a little worried they might start malfunctioning. But you might enjoy experimenting with them sometime, A-Xian.

i can attest that they're really hard to break! still breakable, though. but it takes a lot of effort!

[noenvy]

[Way to go Shijie! Work those merchants good.]

I haven't really thought about clothes, though I guess having more than one set would be good.

[He always wore whatever was around or available, or he woke up already in. Hell, he could easily wear the same thing for a month!]

Maybe I can ask Lan Zhan what he thinks.

[Since again, he has no money.]

[noenvy]

How much effort? A little? A lot? I don't want to experiment, this looks expensive.

Wei Ying. Do not flood the bathroom.

[noenvy]

You think I might flood it?

text ; video

[resurging]

aha, you've got more restraint than i do, experimenting was the first thing i did... probably shouldn't have...

anyway! it takes a lot to break it! a lot of effort! i also won't recommend it when there's water in the tub, it makes avoiding the shards more difficult!

[noenvy]

Only because I'm tired of broken tubs and a mess.

[The last thing he wants!]

If it takes a lot... maybe it will be safe from Lan Zhan.

[He can only dream.]

It is so nice to see your face.

[huaisang]

How much effort exactly?

[noenvy]

You can't even see my face though. That feels so ungenuine

[Wow even the name he chose was don't know! It was amazing a he could laugh.]

[huaisang]

It is a figure of speech!

[noenvy]

You could say it's so nice to hear your voice?
