[ that sounds just like terry's case in cetana... ]
[ ananke probably is overly concerned by how often she has to see terry... but is genuinely okay with him. it only takes about two or three diarahans to hopefully get the job done and that is enough time for terry to pet the bunnies. they graciously accept the pets as they just sit there and twitch their nose. ]
Ehehe, you're welcome. [ now that their job is done, ananke and the tiny bunnies fade away. ] Um, what do you want to do for your break? I'm free if you want to do anything!
[ Going on a trip with Rei would actually be really nice. However, it makes him sad that Terry would have to decline. ]
I was thinking about going on a trip by myself for a week or so. I really need to clear my head... what do they call it--a "journey to find myself"? Something like that. I'd really like to take you with me, but I think I need some time alone. Sorry, Rei... but I'll spend time with you before I go.
[ pinky promises are, like, my jam. i love them and would never skip an opportunity for them. rei takes terry's pinky and shakes her hand, sealing the deal. she gives him a big smile. ]
Will you call? [ she told him before that she's at the inn so she can be reached there but then she realizes something. ] Oh, do you have a cellphone?
No. I've been looking into getting a cheap prepaid one. You know, those flip phones with number pads on them? I've never used those before, so I'll have to get used to it... I haven't gotten the chance to though...
I took a look earlier at a phone shop. The flip phones average around like... ($50-$125 USD equivalent in Hirajiro currency) and smartphones, at least the one I used to have was like... ($2000 USD equivalent in Hirajiro currency). Probably because flip phones are outdated and because people like smartphones a lot better for their convenience.
[ terry, looking at a flip phone: the fuck is this artifact from the past ]
[ Hm. If Rei hasn't even heard of a smartphone, it would be difficult to explain for Terry. Since the sun hasn't completely set yet, he knows where the phone store is. It should still be open. ]
[ can they hold hands? she's in the mood to hold hands, especially with how terry was at the beginning so she'll outstretch hers if terry is okay with it. ]
[ Terry looks pretty excited again. Can his moods calm down again? (no) He takes Rei's hand and he'll even swing it a little on the way to the phone store. ]
Do you want a pretty phone? Or a sturdy one? How good do you want the camera to be?
[ honestly, a smartphone might just be super overwhelming for her. she'd be so lost and confused and be like your grandma who calls you every single time that she doesn't understand something. ]
Wow, that's amazing! Umm, I don't know anything about camera qualities but if I can have any type of camera, I think that'd be good!
[ Once you get a good camera, you really can't go back to lower qualities... Terry understands that bit, and well, flip phones probably don't have good quality cameras. Well, he'll see.
He nods and they eventually arrive at the phone store. Terry opens the door, leading Rei inside and mmm sweet, sweet air conditioning in the peak of summer. There are all kinds of phones, but mostly smartphones here and there. There's a small section of the store with prepaid flip phones for the people who want to bask in the nostalgia. ]
Here we are.
[ Though, before going to where the flip phones are, he shows Rei an iPhone-equivalent. ]
This is a smartphone. It just looks like a screen, but you can navigate through it with your finger! Just tap it a little if you want to use the app.
[ He demonstrates by swiping left and right with his index finger to go back and forth between the app screens and touches the call button, making a digital numpad come out. ]
[ rei hasn't been in this store yet because she didn't know what it was so when they enter and she sees all these strange gadgets, she's kind of lost in an awed trance. whoaaaa... look at all these fancy things. she hasn't even ever used a computer before so this is very much !!! to her. ]
It's like a tiny TV screen!
[ at least she knows what a tv is, though they didn't have one in her hospital room so she still has very little experience with it. ]
What's an app? Why can you touch the screen? Don't you need a remote?
You can use remotes for other things! Like connecting your phone to the TV so you can watch TV shows and stuff, but... I'm not sure if they have that here? If they did, I'm pretty sure that would be expensive.
[ ... ]
Anyway, this kind of screen is called a touchscreen. It interacts with you when you touch it! Smartphones can even do this.
[ He clears his throat a little, now that he can after Rei's healing. ]
Siri, what time is it?
[ It's currently 7:10 PM. ]
Neat, huh? You try it next, Rei. You have to speak in a clear voice and start your sentence with "Siri" because that's how you get her attention.
[ bless terry for walking her through everything because lmfao this is like alien technology to her. she's so confused but also very much in awe. ]
There's a person inside the phone?!
[ gasp... there was that strange potion in the alice in wonderland labyrinth. maybe siri drank it and go trapped inside?! zen was right to not let rei drink it. ]
Siri, are you okay?!
[ I always look on the bright side of life. I just wish I could whistle... ]
T-chan, Siri is trapped and she can't whistle inside the phone!
[ lmfao i literally just asked siri this on my phone and this is what she replied with... what the fuck ]
[ LMAO siri is so weird... Terry laughs a little awkwardly at that. ]
Well, no... she's kinda like the phone's little helper. The phone is like her home. You can ask her to do stuff like splitting the restaurant's check among three people, tell her to play music, what weather it is... and all that kind of stuff. It's pretty cool. She's sometimes pretty funny too. Watch this.
Hey, Siri. What's zero divided by zero?
[ Imagine that you have zero cookies and you split them evenly among zero friends. How many cookies does each person get? See? It doesn't make sense. And Cookie Monster is sad that there are no cookies, and you are sad that you have no friends.

Yeah! There are cameras on phones. But the quality of the cameras tend to be better if they're on a more expensive phone...
