chapter seven [video]

[didhishomework]

[The feed starts with a bored looking young man speaking to a pair of unrecognizable aliens, the young man wearing an uncomfortable looking suit of armor. Really, he'd rather be anywhere else in the world, just due to the fact that it was really really hot and there he was, working customer service.

And these two aliens didn't seem too happy.]I'm

So, what are you supposed to be?

...Sir Kyon, of the D&M... [A facepalm.]

I'm an idiot wearing armor in a "dungeon".

...You don't look like you're in a dungeon.

It's not a good one.

[have a coworker standing by with her arms crossed, dressed like this now. She threatened them until they ditched the bikini.]

You want me to throw them out?

[Action]

[didhishomework]

[...well, it's still a suitable replacement, he thinks.]

If they come back in, please. [With another sigh, he just stares at the door.] I'm beginning to wonder why I signed up for this job.

[Action]

[mutantbirdkid]

I should've just signed up as a bouncer; much less complicated.

Who would've thought Earth geek tradition continues in space.

[Action]

[didhishomework]

Beats working retail, I guess. [Despite the job title-- he's just going to avoid asking questions here, he'll never get the right one.]

It was probably one of the things that was brought up on the ship along with all of the other refugees. If they wanted "Earth Culture" or something stupid like that.

128-sided die? Really? That's a lot of sides.

[didhishomework]

And I had figured that 12 was a lot. I can't even read the numbers on them.

[traponreverse]

Yeah, really. I don't know how anyone would be able to.

[didhishomework]

Thanks, by the way. I actually didn't know a lot about these games I'm trying to pretend I care about until I read some of those books, so, yeah. Either they have super vision, or they're pretending that they can read it just to cheat.

[Asch is back in God-General garb, and ironically finds the outfits of his co-workers completely normal. Frowning at you, Kyon.]

You should have asked if they read the instruction manual first.

[Action]

[didhishomework]

[Frowning right back. This thing was hot how do you even]

I should have. I'm pretty sure no one does to begin with.

[Answer: Extensive training.]

People who don't even bother to read the rules have no right to complain or make demands in the first place. Most of the manuals dedicate at least two pages to safety hazards.

[That phrase that goes "the customer is always right"? Completely flew over Asch's head.]

Re: [Action]

[didhishomework]

[Unfortunately, that's what Kyon tries hard to think about, just so he can have money to not starve this month.]

If it were possible, I wouldn't listen to anyone willing to put something like a die in their mouth to begin with.

...Tabletop gaming? Really?

[video]

[didhishomework]

Apparently, it's a big thing right now. Bring one, bring all of your friends, come purchase some games.

[the deadpan is thick, can you feel it]

[video]

[thenwhowas]

Yeah, sure, right after get some sunglasses. My eyes are kinda sensitive to light, what with living in a basement and all.

[rrrright back at ya, man]

Just try not to spend most of your mother's allowance.

I almost laughed before I realized that that was probably exactly how that alien was able to afford it.
