[ Yuri is very used to social media, but the network here isn't quite like the social media back at home. That doesn't stop him from trying to use it in the same way.

He posts a picture of himself in a simple all-black outfit in front of the skating rink. ]

First day back at skating.

#iceskating #yuriplisetsky #goingtokeepwinning

[ Nailed it. ]

So you do know some discipline.

[juniorchampion]

I'm a professional figure skater.
You're the one who smokes and threatens people over paint.
I have a lot more discipline.

[depreciated]

I wonder if that's true.

[juniorchampion]

I just said it.
If you had discipline, you wouldn't smoke.

[ This is one of the majority of things in this world he hasn't seen. They don't ice skate in the fake Gnostic bible he was educated from. ]

On... the ice?

voice;

[juniorchampion]

[ Huh. He's never really done voice replies to a post before, but why not? He's switches. ]

Don't tell me you're one of those people who've never heard of it. It's better than the other sports.

[bisection]

[ Sorry, Yuri, he's yet to get the motor skills to type things. Not yet. ]

I am... unfamiliar with all sports, I think. We did not learn of them back then... when they were educating us.

[juniorchampion]

[ It's not bad. Just different. ]

They don't teach it in normal schools. You have to find coaches and special lessons.

I'm going to do a show to earn that chroma stuff. If you want to see something really interesting, you can pay and come.

aw

you should have taken a selfie with me yuri and we could share it

[juniorchampion]

[ Yuri hates the username. ]

Why?
I don't want to be connected to you.

[kingfuckboy]

:(

i mean it's a little late for that since everyone can read this

[juniorchampion]

You're just a weird stalker.

So we do have an ice rink?


I feel like I should wait til after Sanguis to check it out, I might melt the ice.

[juniorchampion]

Yeah.
It looks pretty cool.
I haven't been on it yet.

That stuff is really true?

[burningfree]

After everything you've seen, are you that surprised?

I guess it doesn't phase me as much since I've been able to use fire most of my life. 🔥

It must be safe to assume you aren't Sanguis if you haven't been affected yet.

[juniorchampion]

I was hoping it was a lie. I don't want to turn into some kind of weird animal.
I met somebody who got turned into a cat. If that happens, it wouldn't be so bad.
What do you turn into?

[Carlos is very much not used to social media, but he's getting the hang of it little by little. The idea of being able to easily share photos without having to physically have them in your hand has gotten his attention, though. Case in point, this one right here.]

whoa awesome pic
u professional level?

[juniorchampion]

[ Normally, Yuri doesn't feel happy just because someone knows ice skating. However, it turns out that some people here don't even know it exists. ]

Yeah.
Award winning.
Are you a fan of ice skating? A lot of people here don't even know you can go professional.

[sendinthedelta]

ive watched a few competitions
and i caught some recaps of the last olympics

dunno if id say fan but i was impressed by how much control they had
i can swing a mean right hook but id fall on my ass on the ice in a second

[vanishings]

( he shouldn't be surprised there's a skating rink here; it seems to have everything else... and yet. )

Going to keep winning? Does that mean you compete?

text;

[juniorchampion]

I don't just compete.
I win.
I can't find any leagues here.

[vanishings]

( well, winning would be part of competing, but shiro doesn't say that. )

What have you won?

[ yeah he can't remember yuri's last name just that it started with a "P" so now he has become Yuri-pii. ]

[juniorchampion]

[ While unexpected, it's nice to know that someone else knows how to use the internet. He doesn't get the -Pii, but he's been around enough culture to know there's a lot of things he doesn't know.

In return, he gets two messages. One is just another picture of Yuri inside of the ice rink, offering a thumbs up. The second contains actual text. ]

It's not hard.
Nobody else here skates.

[ JJ doesn't count. ]

[arf]

[ No corrections were made from Yuri, which means Taichi's going to stick with it. He is Yuri-pii from here on out. ]

Where's the ice rink?
Do you have any competitions coming up?
Well, you said no one else but there's an ice rink so maybe they're just in hiding until competition season...
