So is this like Reddit, or more like Facebook? Can I change my username? Kind of weird it didn’t ask me to set up a password. What if someone steals someone else’s earpieces? Would they be able to post with their account? What if I want to make a second account for… you know. Sideblog reasons?

A group game, yeah. I used to run a campaign for a while.

A picture of a girl, usually. But it's just a digital picture, so if you ever don't have your phone with you, you don't even have the picture.

[oblige]

When you say campaign, does that mean it is a war game?

I have difficulty imagining such a wasteful venture succeeds.

[taxevasion]

Kinda? Oh right, to you, I guess it's like. Imaginary strategy.

People spend billions on this, collectively. Crazy, right? But it's technically legal for now, so.

[oblige]

And your people engage in this for fun?

[ He's trying to understand. ]

It does sound quite mad. To think so many would be enticed by mere images.

[taxevasion]

You're probably noticing a pattern that a lot of humans pretend to do things for fun.

So what about you? What do you do for fun?

[oblige]

I simply did not think war would be one of them.

The life I led left little time for leisure. But I enjoyed reading when I could, or working with dragons.

[taxevasion]

Dude that's like THE most popular one. War or sex. D&D lets you do both.

Wow, okay. More with dragons. Really dragon-focused. Were the books on dragons too?

[oblige]

You have sex as part of a game?

Dragons are important in my country, and I've some affinity for them. There are books regarding dragons, taxonomy and the like, but I favor fiction novels.

[taxevasion]

Well, I don't. But some people do.

What's a fiction novel to you? You already have fantasy as your day-to-day. You don't have sci-fi. Woah, wait, do you have books about a world without magic and everyone has a white-collar job, and so your fantasy books are about like, middle management?

[oblige]

How curious.

Middle management? Authors write on a variety of subjects, but I know not what this means.

[taxevasion]

The people that get paid to stand around and look busy.

[oblige]

Ah, bureaucrats.

No, they wouldn't be fantastical in nature.

[taxevasion]

Pokemon. Pokemon's your fantasy. Because you don't have them, and it's not sci-fi. I'm going to scroll through my phone and show you which one you'd have. You like dragons, what else?

[oblige]

Should I be listing animals that I like, or are you asking more broadly?

[ He has no idea what's happening... ]

[taxevasion]

Colors, things, animals. Sure. And I'm only doing this because I like you.

[oblige]

[ Does this fellow like him? ]

Very well.

Setting dragons aside: blue, green, books, flowers, tea, apples, polearms, cats. Is that sufficient?

[taxevasion]

Oh, easy. Appletun. Or Flapple. They're dragon-types shaped like apples.

[oblige]

Apple-shaped dragons?

[ These are a thing...? ]

[taxevasion]

Yeah. One looks like this.

[oblige]

[ Oh, this creature is a little friend. He sees it now. ]

What a cute fellow. I'd not properly envisioned it at all.

[taxevasion]

In Pokemon, you could have a bunch of pokemon, but usually there's one that's your best friend. Mine would be Infernape because he's cool as hell.

[oblige]

This one looks confident. He seems a fine choice as your favorite.

[taxevasion]

Thank you. He's majestic.

[oblige]

[ Dion knows the language of Favorite Characters, and so... ]

What do you like best about him?

[taxevasion]

Fire monkey.

[There is no more advanced reason. Sometimes he is just a simple man.]

It was my first starter Pokemon.
