2011 and 2012?! Wow, T-chan, you're so far in the future!
[ though if rei was alive throughout her entire 12 year bullshit, she'd be alive in 2011 and probably loving her smartphone. also she doesn't answer his question about the smartphones because she's very much focused on the fact that terry is waaaaaaaaaaaay into the future. ]
[ Considering Rei didn't know what smartphones were, Terry feels like he's waaaaay ahead of her. He feels... kinda old now. Despite being older than her already. Kinda. looks at weird time shenanigans at PQ ]
Before I came here, it was 2029. These models here are actually pretty old for me...
Not exactly... but we have pretty amazing stuff that's accessible to a lot more people.
[ The future of his world is actually pretty fucking bleak, but if it's just technology talk, it's fine... it'll be fine. Nothing like how the world is supposed to end in 2030 because some demigods are getting into a huge bitchfight. ]
There are companion robot animals though. They're pretty expensive, but they're cute! There's even a robot therapy seal.
Terry smiles. Talking about where he came from only reinforces the idea that he doesn't want to go back, but he looks over at Rei with his happy smile as always. His determination to not let his smile falter somehow wins over the exaggerated emotions that's he's still under, but that's probably because it's in its last stages. ]
Yeah, it sure is, huh? Let's go look at the flip phones! They might not be as amazing, but they're still useful too.
They're a lot cheaper than smartphones! I think I can have enough money to buy one later this month. When I get enough money, I'll let you know, okay? Unless you want to buy one right now.
[ Most of the flip phones are inside packaged boxes, but he finds an example model and guides Rei over. He then presses the screen on reflex, but gets insanely embarrassed when that doesn't work and quickly moves his fingers to the directional pad. Then he finds the camera function and... there we go. ]
-- This camera's looking pretty decent for a flip phone.
[ luckily for terry, rei doesn't notice his little mistake. if this was souji, he would have gone hahaha but alas, it's sweet rei who thinks t-chan can do nothing wrong in her eyes (except die on him). ]
I don't know a lot about phones, but if you say that this is good then maybe I'll get this one!
[ she doesn't know the difference between one flip phone from the rest. ]
[ she's so excited about this now. this is something within her budget as well so when the storeowner sees that these two bums are actually going to buy something, he comes on over to help. he takes out the same model but in different colours. you wouldn't be able to guess what colour she'd choose. ]
Ohh, there are different colours! I want yellow so it matches with me!
[ Terry has a talk with the storeowner that Rei will be starting off on her own first, so she'll also need a manual. He'll continue to have the boring sales talk with the owner about the phone and he manages to knock off $10 equivalent off the original price. Nice. No blackmail was involved this time. He promises. ]
Yellow is a really good color for you, Rei. We'll get you that one then.
[ terry: mirror mirror on the wall, rei is the fairest of them all mirror: didn't you skip a line or two terry: i know what i fucking said ]
[ please see someone for your kido and rei bias, terry, this isn't healthy. at least rei won't ever notice and she just stands here super bubbly and happy because wow!! she can get a cellphone and there are people she can contact and there are people who want to contact her!!! nice!!! ]
Ehehe, I'm getting a cellphone.
[ this is very exciting for her. ]
As soon as you get your own, I'll call you all the time! Especially while you're on your travels so you don't forget about me or everyone else.
[ I'm always here to provide ideas... one day, I'll wait for a regain bonus that turns characters into animals for 2 days. ]
Yup... though I guess she only uses it as a music player or something. The internet doesn't really work. I haven't tested out signals in Hirajiro, but maybe it'll work better here... Anyway, go pay for your phone! I'll be right here.
[ between you and me, i put in a bonus that turns a character into an animal of their choosing a while ago. it's just that no one has gotten it so it will happen one day. ]
Okay!
[ and she runs off to do that. she'll pay up and she'd get her new phone in a shopping bag. she is so excited. she'll read the manual a million times!! but probably be confused a few pages in, haha. she practically runs back to terry like a little kid once she has her purchase. ]
[ ichi... you're the best (≧▽≦) the random bonuses are a part of why I love cetana so much...
Terry told the store owner to get the basic setup up and ready at the very least so that Rei doesn't have to bother with that, and Terry gives her a headpat when she comes back. ]
Of course! Kido's number should already be in there, so you can call her whenever you want.
[ He hopes that she'll pick up the phone when she does. Please, Kido. ]
[ hehehe i think it was card's idea for the bonus effects so she gets full credit. lmk if you want to see a particular bonus and i can always slip it in ٩( 'ω' )و ]
I will! Thanks again, T-chan!
[ she's going to spam that phone with so many "good morning!!!!" and "good night!!!!!" text messages. ]
It was really nice to hang out with you today as well, T-chan! Please get a lot of rest and be careful. Call me when you can!
[ or when you're not, you know, sick from drinking her blood and you're not dying on vassago as we all know will happen because this thread takes place in the past, laughs. ]

Wow, technology is really amazing! When did this come out? I never heard of phones being this advanced!

[ Terry had existed for a grand total of 2-3 years by then. It feels like such a long time ago for him... ]
Hm... but flip phones don't have Siri. They're pretty basic. Do you want to see the smartphones more?
[ He looks at the price tag and... god. He doesn't want to see so many zeros in something ever again. ]

Companion robot animals! That sounds so cute! I wish I could have one of those, especially the robot therapy seal!
