[ Today must be a day for shitposting, because Kanan's got one too. ]

You know, the text thing doesn't usually give me much trouble. The devices have a pretty good voice-to-text and text-to-voice function on them. Unless you're typing a bunch of abbreviations, they can be hard to parse sometimes. The letter "y" seems to be either "why" or "yes" depending on the context, for instance. Still haven't figured out "L O L".

I even get some of those... what do you call them, "emojis". The device will tell me if there's a little smiling face or a finger pointing to the left or whatever, that's fine. Right up until there's a bunch of... vegetables? I don't know a lot of the vegetables on this planet. What even is an "eggplant", and what is "eggplant sweatdrops"? Are you watering your vegetable garden?

[ Kanan is linefacing so hard right now. ]

I've never seen an eggplant.

[metaphorbia]

[ Oh Kanan. David will have mercy on him. ]

Neither have I. Well, not in person. It's a vegetable everyone knows about but nobody actually eats.

[kanyounot]

I can understand why, if it's dick-shaped.

[metaphorbia]

[ A laugh. ]

It's also purple. Which is a weird color for a vegetable.

[kanyounot]

Really? Purple is weird?

[metaphorbia]

Sure. If I picture purple food, I'm thinking more like ... grapes. Blueberries. Koolaid.

[kanyounot]

I mean, to be fair, you've only got one planet here. I've been to... a lot. So I could probably name a lot of different produce that's purple. If I knew all their names, which I don't. But there are a lot!

[metaphorbia]

[ David brightens with interest. ]

Tell me about one then. Uh, if you can remember.

[kanyounot]

I mean, probably the most common is the jogan fruit. It's round, and purple. It's sorta stripey. It's really sweet, so a lot of people eat it raw, but you can also use it in baking.

[metaphorbia]

Stripey fruit ... I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before.

[kanyounot]

We have lots of... well, again, I guess it depends on the planet, the system... whatever. We've got lots of everything, I suppose.

[metaphorbia]

Well yeah, if you've got access to aliens and alien worlds. I'm pretty jealous.

[kanyounot]

See, that's how you spot an Earth-person. Calling all nonhumans "aliens" as if humans aren't alien to everyone else.

[ He's not, like, offended or anything. Just making a somewhat-amused observation. ]
