[An oddly curious-looking Rubi pops onto the network. He doesn't seem upset over the Nightmare anymore (like he was at the meeting.) He does get over most things rather quickly.]Ah... I have a few questions
( Read more... )
[ So many questions, and yet Minako just rambles off the answer to them in one long run-on explanation. ]
Karaoke is fun! It's a way of singing together with friends to existing songs! An arcade is where you play video games! During sleepovers you do lots of stuff, like talking to each other and doing each other's hair and eating popcorn and telling scary stories and not sleeping at all! And cute boys are the ones you try to make into your boyfriend, of course-- ah, but it might be cute girls for you instead, I guess.
[Long silence ensues while Rubi soaks all that up, understands some of it, and mis-understands the rest.]
Oh. You sing together--that isn't so strange. Angels do the same, though not in the Earth realm. And our kind of angels is usually not invited to join with them.
I've never played a video game... [Pondering that.] How do you 'do hair?'
[Rubi's messy long hair should indicate that he has only minimal experience with hairstyling.]
Do you make a lot of them your girlfriend or boyfriend, or do you pick one? I've never had a lover of any kind.
What they usually do for fun..? Don't tell me you've never done anything with friends before!

Oh, yes... We go flying, or I watch one of them grow flowers. Sometimes we sit on rooftops or explore.
[He doesn't really want to talk about the Earth side of things.]
I know humans like to do other things...

Going out for karaoke! Playing games in the arcade! Spotting cute boys at the beach! Having sleepovers! The possibilities are endless!

...Can I ask about those things? I'm not familiar with them. I don't know karaoke at all. I have seen an arcade.
[But not actually played there.] What do you do at a sleepover? I think I've done that here.
...What do you do with the cute boys? Do you catch them?
