HELLO EVERYONE!!!

i have failed to introduce myself properly to the masses and i must say this is VERY SHAMEFUL OF ME (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄) my name is suoh tamaki and it's a pleasure to acquaint myself with whoever is here to read this.

to cut to the chase, i have taken quite an economic downgrade being here, and this is certainly a cultural shift for me...and the setting is a sci-fi one, to boot! i would like to take advantage of the situation to the best of my ability and go about making a fun list of ❤ FUN ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMON FOLK ❤ i'd like to partake in.

common things i would like to do while here:

▶ wait in an impossibly long line
▶ become gainfully employed (though nothing too grueling or isolated, thank you)
▶ try out various versions of the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich
▶ play a recorder
▶ take some form of public transit

if you can help me in any of these endeavors i would be MUCH OBLIGED or if perhaps you would like to make one of these a group activity...the more the merrier!! ( ˘⌣˘)♡(˘⌣˘ )

AS AN ASIDE: i have decided i will be committing myself to a food sampling project involving common tea drinks. here is a little sample of one:

MANGO DRINK: perhaps the worst thing i have tasted in a long time. i was under the impression this was a tea drink. it is not tea.

PROS: the colour is nice, but not one i would consumer on the regular. there is certainly a sweetness to it, but my teeth felt awful after consumption.

CONS: everything else. to the common folk reading this, this is not what a mango tastes like <(￣ ﹌ ￣)> once i receive regular funds, i will buy mangos for you to try if you have never. i am TRULY SADDENED that a company has tricked you into believing this is a similar taste in any regard.

i will be posting these reviews somewhat regularly if you are interested! ♡( ◡‿◡ ) au revoir !

in that case, would you be interested in accompanying me on any of these ventures?

[Nope.

She debates tossing Peter to the wolves, so to speak, but she doesn't.

For now.]

Not particularly.

... what exactly do you mean by play a recorder?
Press play on and listen to something that has been recorded? like a walkman?

[vanity]

well, the invitation is an open one if you ever change your mind.

a recorder is an instrument! a woodwind. you press down onto holes in the shaft of it and blow through the top, producing different notes. it's a very common instrument taught to youths, and therefore i'd also like to learn!

[justlethal]

[She is not the most musically inclined, although she has enjoyed the songs that Peter has shared with her.

Perhaps she will ask him one day if he ever played one.]

I was not aware that young Earthlings did such things. Is it common all across your planet?

[vanity]

as far as i have found in my research, recorder learning is pretty common. children are also taught simple percussion instruments, and further musical instruction as they age is linked to brain development.

i think it's a pretty fulfilling experience. though i may be biased as i'm quite competent at the paino.

[justlethal]

That is the big wooden box with keys?

( text ▶ video )

[vanity]

you could call it that, yes!

❰ actually, give him a moment. tamaki switches to video, offering gamora a little wave before positioning the camera to go over his shoulder, showcasing the back half of his grand piano in the living room. ❱

[justlethal]

I have heard of it, but I have never seen one before.

[vanity]

have you ever heard one played? they produce the most beautiful music in the world, in my opinion.

[justlethal]

I believe they are in some of the songs that Peter plays on his various devices.

[vanity]

is peter a friend of yours? i'm glad he's introduced you to beautiful music!

[justlethal]

he

[Although there is a lengthy pause.]

is my boyfriend

[Since Peter likes that term.]

[vanity]

oh, how wonderful! ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶

was he your boyfriend before this place? oh -- perhaps he's a native?

❰ the thought is so bizarre and intriguing to him suddenly, even if that isn't the case ❱

[justlethal]

[What the-]

from his point of view, yes.
He is from the future
