My apologies for not fitting your image of a "church person". [WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN HE HATES IT HERE.] I don't mind if you wish to stay here, but I have to wonder why you would choose a place that's less comfortable...
[He has :ben: energy again at the question and politely shakes his head.]
[IT'S A COFFIN YOU FREAK. He'll move to sit on a nearby pew since apparently this is conversation hours now, primly perched and setting his hands in his lap. He is unfortunately the very picture of dainty.]
The last time I went there, terrible scratching noises were coming from the inside, but nothing was there... I would be far too unnerved to rest well in one.
If we're meant to be observed, I can only imagine it factors into that somehow.
[Maybe the eyes of the hills enjoy watching a little SOL in between sacrificing mass batches of people. But he nods at that! Still seated in the same pew, looking Gojo's way. Making eye contact now that he is no longer horizontal.]
That's correct, though I learned what they were very quickly given the immediate comparisons to them that so many of you were making...
Apparently goats are only for sacrificing and not eating... in Riverdale, at least.
[He just says this like it makes sense and nods solemnly. Now Gojo knows that if they're having potlucks, it will not involve goat. ANYWAY!!]
I'm uncertain what medieval means. I'm from- [I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE YEAR IS OR WHAT CALENDAR THEY USE IN VIRCHE BUT IT'S NOT IN THE LATE 2010s THAT'S FOR SURE.] -if that fits?
If we end up starving here, I'm going to eat a goat if that's all there's left. [ He is pampered, spoiled, and rich, but he will tap the survival button and eat a goat if he needs to. ] Who told you that, anyway?
[ RIVERDALE???? Satoru squints at this nebulous year. It means absolutely nothing to him. ]
Okay, most advanced technology where you're from. Go.
...The place that I come from is without the powers that appear to be present in some of the other homes here. Still, if an ability were a natural part of a human's body, I would imagine it would also be cloned. I'm afraid Reliver technology isn't my area of expertise, though. A researcher from the Institute would be much better suited to answering theoretical questions.

This is not very church person of you. [ But he doesn't sound or look sad. ] For comparison. I'm not actually going to stay, so don't worry.
Wanna try a coffin?
no subject
[He has :ben: energy again at the question and politely shakes his head.]
No, thank you.
no subject
Wouldn't have known it's less comfortable without trying it! [ Arches eyebrows. ] Got something against coffins?
[ it's a coffin you freak ]

no subject
Oh, right. That bothers Asta, too, but he said taking off the lids stop the scratching noises.
no subject
[Lucas lifted the lid and revealed nothing was inside and Astarion immediately turned around and walked right out of the situation. He's so valid.]
I wonder if that's meant to be another form of ambience, then.
no subject
[ He looks up at the ceiling, wondering... ]
The scratching I definitely think is part of the whole horror aesthetic. I sat in the haunted house waiting for something to show up, but nothing did.
no subject
[He says, having just decided to accept his assigned church house immediately. With a lilting note of curiosity:]
Are you from a place with "horror movies" as well, then?
no subject
[ Horror Holly Heights. Anyway, he sits up so he can have a regular conversation seeing the person. ]
Yup. You're from a place that doesn't have movies?
no subject

[ jazz hands, then makes a face because wow voyeurs. Lucas can see more that he is a tall creature. ]
Well, if you already know, then I don't need to explain it. You're medieval?
no subject

If you attempt to pray, you'll learn about the goats as well, unfortunately.
[ANYWAY FUNNY THING ABOUT THE ANSWER TO THAT.]
I'm unaware of what would be considered the most advanced, but some form of Reliver technology would likely be near the top.
no subject
[ He's not going to question it, but then he mumbles... ARE THEY IN AMERICA? IS THIS PLACE BASED ON AMERICA? ]
Obviously, I've never heard of anything like that.
no subject
It's south of wherever this "Rachel" person was, at least.
[Please his fucking Riverdale gospel. BUT RIGHT Relivers are such a commonass thing for him that he genuinely forgets he has to explain it.]
The technology that allows people to clone their bodies and make backups of their memories and personality.
[And yet they don't have movies.]
no subject
Seriously?
no subject
Yes? It was created a bit less than one hundred years ago.
no subject
But no movies?
no subject
[Just like how they have no cellphones or even dial phones but they do have bluetooth ear pieces!]
no subject
[ .......... ]
How exact are these copies?
no subject
[But also they are just freaks with cloning and no planes. IN ANY CASE after a moment of consideration:]
One could argue that they're near-perfect in their exactness, but the technology itself does have flaws.
no subject
it's fine. time to be a freak. there's some morbid fascination. ]
... And all that comes with bodies? Like the intrinsic power.
no subject

[ He's just a teenager, so really it's all sci-fi theory to him. ]
Then you can make an army of human weapons!
