[rita's general disposition seems to be a mixture of constant anxiety and irritation, but that mellows a little as she spots him and approaches, curious.]
Huh. I've done plenty of climbing around ruins and mountain paths and the like. Never really thought of doing it for fun. Looks easy, with all those handy footholds.
Yeah... your world's more like... [ how does he put this. ] ...It's more like Beau and Caleb-san's, right? With monsters and stuff like that.
I live in a huge city, so that kind of stuff is impossible for us. [ it be like that. he offers rita a big grin. ] You wanna try it? I'll live vicariously through you. It's harder than it looks, but I seriously doubt it will be compared to real rocks.
he doesn't seem particularly bothered by that backhanded compliment... or, if he is, he's not showing it, even emotionally. ]
I just asked Iris for something to help out at the trial. It took a little bit of workshopping, but... I was gettin' tired of not being able to help, you know?
I think that's how it works with most of the items people have around, right? They're expensive, so...
[ boy those game mechanics would be fucked otherwise ]
If you wanna get one, you'd probably have to ask your dorm head. Iris said our only limit here was our creativity, so I've been trying to take that to heart.
Guess that's not too different from like, luminol or fingerprinting kits. [magic goggles are way cooler, though? as a magic-loving goggles-wearer, she is intrigued.]
Anyway, I'll take that into consideration. Thanks.

w4 monday!
his emotions come off kind of... disappointed? what is happening here. ]
no subject
Something the matter?
no subject
...yeah.... I haven't been to one of these things in forever, not since I was still in high school, and I really like them.
[ .... ]
But I'm still so fucked up from Thursday that I don't think I can actually climb it right now....
[ SAD.... ]
no subject
[there's a little sympathy for that. she knows how absolutely messed up those are.]
... What is this? You just climb it?
no subject
Yeah. It's supposed to be a test of your endurance, I guess. People don't really get to rock climb, where I'm from.

[she approaches the wall, reaches to grab on to it... and stops.]
... but I can't!!
Because you'll be down here, and I've got a skirt on!! Damn it!

he looks equally embarrassed immediately, emotions flaring - the immediate feeling of flustered as he reflexively covers his eyes with one hand. ]
I, uh, I can turn around?! Shit, I'm sorry, I'm not a perv, I promise!
no subject
Anyway, there was something I wanted to ask you about! Those goggles you were showing off in the last trial...
no subject
[ he will take his hand away from his eyes, tilting his head. ] Sure, shoot. What about em?
no subject
[is that a backhanded compliment...]
How'd you end up with something like that?

Pretty sure you also said it was a one-time use... Do you have to spend vouchers every time you wanna use it again?
