the other guy covered this already but i figure, what can it hurt to ask again? where can i can drugs here. anxiety meds, specifically. no, i don't have anxiety, but i can exhibit similar symptoms from time to time. this is life-threatening, i assure you.

second, because i don't think i can get away with just putting up a "don't fuck with me" attitude when touchy-feelies might actually save lives: i'm a touch-based telepath. yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. no, i can't just shut it off. yes, i won't touch you without permission. no, don't touch me unless i touch you first.

jesus motherfucker this is more words than i've written in years. hi, i'm tetora. i like pizza.

[ what the fuck ]

christ on a shitting cracker, i'm in your garage.

[scarecrowed]

in my what?

[ doesn't know what a garage is either sorry ]

[nishizono]

HOW ARE YOU ALIVE

GARAGE

THE BIG SPACE AT THE BACK WITH NO BEDS

don't you have cars where you're from???

[scarecrowed]

are you trying to say we live in the same house?

[ that's a no to the cars question, he figures it's another type of food... ]

[nishizono]

yes

yes we do

i have a lot to teach you and we're starting with house parts

[scarecrowed]

[ is he going to be teaching Lucas how to be popular next??? ]

this really doesn't sound necessary.

[nishizono]

[ he just might. you never know!!! ]

do you know what shutters are and what they can do?
because if you answered no to both you're gonna get us all killed, and i like being alive.

[scarecrowed]

[ well, when he puts it that way... ]

fine. teach me what you know. [ he likes being alive too. some days. ]

[nishizono]

i knew it.
okay, i'll come to you now and we can sort the shit out
where in the house are you?

[scarecrowed]

kitchen.

[ see, he knows some house parts!! ]

[nishizono]

[ of course he'd be at the one place in the house that has the most noisemakers. perfect. ]

okay, literally don't move until i get there

[ because he's rounding the hallway corner and showing up in his jumpsuit, moving very carefully around the many things that make loud noises when dropped. ]

do you recognize anything in here?

[scarecrowed]

[ scanning the room... ]

you?

[ have a smrk. he's made this joke before. he's overly fond of it. ]

[nishizono]

[ oh my god it's a dad joke. tetora actually drags both hands over his face because of this. ]

okay, noted.

behind you is a dishwasher - don't touch it. it's loaded with plates, erik probably set that up.

[ the guy can move metals; it follows that he can command metals not to vibrate with sound. lucky bastard. ]

can you come over here?

[scarecrowed]

a machine that washes dishes? people can't clean them themselves? [ Lucas doesn't approve. were all people in other worlds this lazy?

he arches an eyebrow at the request to move, but nonetheless makes his way to where Tetora says. ]

[nishizono]

[ hey, he's just calling things as they're named. he agrees, though. ]

some people just really hate doing dishes.

now, over there - those are pots and pans, i think you know those. next to them is the sink. next to that is the fridge, but i think it's off right now.

it keeps things cooled no matter the weather.

[scarecrowed]

there are worse things to hate than dishes.

i know what pots and pans are. and the sink. [ the fridge? not so much. Lucas opens it, bends down, stick his head in it.

it's like living with a caveman, isn't it? ]

[nishizono]

[ it's almost funny. almost. right now it's just a little sad, as he watches lucas's face change expressions when the first gust of cool air hits his face. ]

some people are just really allergic to house chores, i guess.

you liking the fridge there?

[scarecrowed]

[ Lucas closes the fridge again and shrugs his shoulders. ]

i've seen better inventions. like the one you put in your ears that allows you to hear people singing.

[ he can't remember the name of it - Dorothy showed him an iPod once. ]

[nishizono]

[ it's always the ipod. lucas is the second person to mention it. ]

i'll get us one, don't worry.
so, anything else in here you don't recognize?

[scarecrowed]

[ Lucas looks around some more...

he goes over to a toaster, sticking a finger inside one of the slots. what's that lever for... ]

[nishizono]

[ oh for god's—

he's just going to help out and CAREFULLY REMOVE LUCAS'S FINGER from certain electrocution yikes ]
