[the video opens to the sound of the Thanksgiving dog show in the background and Jonathan settled contentedly on the couch, clad inexplicably in a turtleneck featuring the four Pac-Man ghosts. he smiles cheerfully.]
This isn't my holiday, but I hope that everyone who celebrates has been having a good time. I'm not entirely certain what purebred dogs have to do with being thankful, but I'm certainly grateful for the opportunity to watch them.
I never realized that dogs would be among the things that had changed in the future, but I suppose it shouldn't come as a surprise. People are always looking to improve their breed however they can.
Perhaps it's a bit childish, but owning a dog again is one of the things I'm looking forward to most when I finally feel able to leave the government housing. It's been a while since I've had a pet.
[he scratches his cheek, the smile becoming a tad nostalgic for a moment of two. the television announces the start of judging for the hound group and he shakes himself out of it easily with a roll of the shoulders.]
Ah, but I hadn't meant to simply chatter away about inanities! I've been thinking about this for a bit, and I wanted to ask someone who was more experienced in the matter - how does finishing one's education work here?
There's no way I could prove my qualifications, after all, but I'd like to finally graduate if at all possible. It's the principle of the thing.
[finally completing his degree feels kind of like a symbolic closing of the worst chapter of his life, even if in Heropa that wasn't technically true. and it would give him a little more confidence in perhaps looking for a job actually related to his field of interest.]
Thank you for your time.

Of course I do. I started university with the intention of seeing it through to completion, and that desire hasn't changed.

They're probably going to make you start over again, you know. Since you can't prove you already went to school, and a lot has changed since then.

University. I'd almost completed it at home, but some things came up that forced me to put it on hold.

Although, come to think of it, I've only had one for a few weeks out of my life, and only starting just now.
[Unless you count the turtle. He doesn't count the turtle.]
Well, anyway, I don't really understand the education system here [AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO], but I'm sure it should be feasible... they do know there are people here from offworld.
There must be some what to accommodate that.
no subject
[because there would be no sympathetic friends to share notes with and eat his breakfast while he drooled on his desk. Jonathan laughs.]
Does that mean you have a pet here, then? What breed?
no subject
[because really, who wants to start over just because you were kidnapped? uncalled for.]
[As for the pet... well. He pauses.]
I have a cat.
[...hm.]
I guess it's a common sort of cat. It has tuxedo markings.

VIDEO DAMMIT LEN
You're wearing my sweater!
I AM BLAMELESS
Yes, I am. I wear it quite a bit - it fits very well!
video
[He would. Killua can't help but smile at the idea, and for just this once he'll hold back on smarting off about how boring school turned out to be.]
I don't think having a dog is childish, either. You could have a guard dog or a hunting dog. [That's not childish, right??] But even with just a regular house dog... somehow it fits you.
video
[which, given their conversation at the banquet, probably sounds more than a little familiar. the way Jonathan's smiling makes it clear he's aware as he moves on to more exciting topics. dogs are always exciting, ok.]
Do you think they really fit me so well? I've always been fond of dogs, but that may be because my closest companion as a child was one.
video
[That's ominous as fuck but Jojo probably won't get that, so. Moving on to dogs.]
But yeah, they do fit you. They're loyal and strong! I have a guard dog back home, too. They're smart.

[Jojos, a family of dogs.]
Since you mentioned breeds, do you have one you favour?
permavid
[did you know the Great Dane was originally called a German boarhound in 19th century English speaking countries? now you do.]
permaudio
And capable of a lot more. I think people tend to forget how they're still beasts when they've been domesticated, hm?
[The more you know. I feel fulfilled.]
