Pretty much anything. You can listen to music, you can read books, you can learn new skills...
[She's trying to make it sound Nice, at least.]
...Yeah, actually. You can shop there online, and if you wanted to go to the actual store, there's this app called Uber you can use to pay other people to drive you places.
[He comes from an era where other people drive you around anyway via horse and cart and shit like that so tragically, he isn't as excited as he could be...]
Huh! That sounds convenient. So you can just do your shopping from something like this? No need to go into town at all? Ah, do they deliver things to you, then?
[ONLINE SHOPPING ON THE OTHER HAND he is super here for.]
Some of them will, depending on what you're ordering and where you live... For something like food, it's usually not much longer than an hour, if that.
Oh... Um, if you want to, just - you know. Be careful.
[And she's careful, too, as she pushes her shirt up enough that he can see the bruise on her stomach - since it's close, he'll be able to tell it looks like someone hit her there.]
[Goddammit mystery vibe checker!! He looks displeased as he examines the bruise, but doesn't lean too close or reach for it. It doesn't look cursed to the naked eye and that's about all he can manage...]

And for now, you get to live vicariously through me.

[IMAGINE THIS TERROR CRASHING THROUGH A COSTCO.]

If we can do something like that when all of this is over... I'd really like that.
no subject
Consider it a promise, then! After all, if there's a way to bring us all together, then there's a way to reverse-engineer it.
no subject
I'd shake on it, but...
[Sex cooties.]

Haha, well. Next week, maybe! [Though speaking of the effects of this week, among all the other bizarre shit they've been dealing with...]
--Sorry to bring the topic back a bit, but I wanted to ask if you've had those wounds looked at properly yet.
no subject
[She nods.]
Yeah, I did. I think they’re fine.

Rude of whoever did this, isn't it?

[A sloping shrug. He pulls back fully, after a beat, waving a hand.]
Just remember to keep an eye on it and let someone know if it seems to be getting worse.
no subject
Yeah. I mean, it's frustrating, but...
[There's a small shrug of her own.]
I guess I'm just counting it lucky that nothing worse happened. You know?
no subject
[OF COURSE HE DOES...]
Though perhaps we should keep our fingers crossed so that doesn't change, hm?
no subject
[You know, everything.]

Cheers, cheers- [TOASTING AN INVISIBLE CUP.] And more's the better to our fortune in the future!
