I was going to apologize for throwing more inane bullshit on here, but since we're all going to be dying of plague soon I guess it's actually kind of topical. Get out while you still can, you know?

Anyway. Has anyone from an earth like this visited their home here? Was that kind of fun or just massively depressing?

And uh, I guess if the overwhelming answer is depressing I'm also taking vacation recommendations. I'm not really picky as long as it's somewhere kind of quiet and thought provoking. Someplace you can clear your head, you know?

Well, I can't really speak for whether going home would be depressing or fun, but I can say that where you want to go probably depends on what sort of interests you have. So.

What sort of interests do you have?

[deadtective]

I don't know, I wasn't exactly planning it around the things I liked. I like...video games? And drawing? And I don't know, not a lot of stuff that makes for a focused vacation.

[cephalothorax]

That's hardly true. You could always look into places with beautiful scenery or museums if you're interested in art. Or... a video game convention?

[deadtective]

I'm kind of hoping to avoid people right now. Especially after my last convention.

[cephalothorax]

Oh, right. You're [dead] asocial.

[deadtective]

Hey, that's not a crime. Everyone enjoys themselves differently!

[cephalothorax]

I didn't say otherwise! All I do with my free time is read; that's not a group activity either.

[deadtective]

You're not going to try and tell me they don't have book clubs in your world, are you?

[cephalothorax]

None that I know of! My friends don't really read much, anyway. And I didn't really join things without them.

[deadtective]

Maybe you should try to form a comic book reading club. That usually gets people who don't like novels.

[cephalothorax]

Ah? I admit I haven't tried reading comic books, myself. I'm not sure I really see them as the types...

But why are we talking about me? Weren't we brainstorming your vacation?

[deadtective]

Were we? Because I was just about to pull up a list of ongoing runs once you gave me a genre.

[cephalothorax]

Aha, there you go talking around things again. I can still tell.

[deadtective]

You're sounding more and more like someone who just isn't used to people taking an interest in their lives, you know.

[cephalothorax]

Oh, well. That might be true, too.

[deadtective]

See? It's just your fault again, not anything I'm doing! So lighten up.

[cephalothorax]

I said "too," not "exclusively!"

[deadtective]

Too late, you can't take it back!!

[cephalothorax]

I don't have to take it back; I never said it to begin with!

[deadtective]

You did now! It was implied and now it's forever!

[cephalothorax]

Well, your saying that I said it is forever, but you'll need better evidence that I meant it that way before you can really claim my saying it is forever.

Also?

Just so you know...

     This
  Is  .  You
    Talking

Wherein "." signifies the point.

[deadtective]

Oh man, how did you get that so even? I could never get it to look so nice, all I can do is ^make _waves ^like _this.

[cephalothorax]

Ah! I want to do that. How did you do it?

[deadtective]

It's a secret! I don't know if you can handle the responsibility.

[cephalothorax]

Oh, I don't know. I can probably look it up somehow. Or ask Tempo, perhaps!
