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.
[IT'D BE SCI-FI THEORY TO ANYONE it's even sci-fi theory to him and he lives it.]
It's not impossible... [A very light frown as he considers.] It would certainly be better for everyone if technology like this weren't considered a necessity.
Anyone can afford it with planning. [It's expensive, but even Coene residents become Relivers.] Though whether one chooses to invest is a personal matter.
[ yeah but he doesn't have plans to live forever ]
... Like installment plans? [ So funny. ] It's wild to consider extending your life like that, but Tengen kind of does the same thing with his cursed technique.
For normal people, when your time comes, it comes.

[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?

[ 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?

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.

[ 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.

It is because we aren't like "normal people". [Though he's also just like THE WHO WITH THE WHAT.] What do you mean by cursed technique?
