Proxy 03 [video]

[thereforeproxy]

This time of year reminds me a lot of Romdeau. It was never cold or snowy like this but- everyone was so preoccupied with buying. It was good for the city you see and- it's good here? No one ever really talks about that though, how it's good for the society, just how it's good to get a person a gift.

It's so much more...emotional.

A tangerine tree!

[No duh, Vince.]

Pino. [Dopey little smile for you. :>] Do you think they sell plants at this time of year? All the outside ones look...dead.

There has to be one somewhere! They wouldn't be able to sell them in stores if they didn't have a tree somewhere, right?

I think here they ship food from other places. [Strange concept- but that's what some of those commercials about local grown food seems to imply.]

[Look, we're going to be perfectly rational and conversation]

It is good to know we're not the only ones who ever had a season of consumption push. With the city economy such a mess, they do need it. People here really do get wildly sentimental, sensationalistic with it though, don't they?

I've seen chocolate oranges, in the pharmacies.

[Which Vincent isn't helping by blushing a little here I'm sure.]

Do tangerines and oranges taste similar?

[Nami filter]

[gaveherwings]

They're both citrus?

[Nami filter]

[thereforeproxy]

They probably do then. I wonder what the difference is.

Apples. For variety.

This list doesn't say anything about apples though, what if she doesn't like them?

Then you'll've given her the gift of experience.

[Not. Computing.]

The experience of...apples?

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

The primary drive to purchase is not the abstract desire to fuel the economy. Consumers do not act like that.

[voice]

[thereforeproxy]

Really? In Romdeau we were encouraged to support the economy by buying. [There was a test on this even. :|]

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

And was that what you cared about?

[voice]

[thereforeproxy]

In Romdeau? I was supposed to but- I never really did.

It's better to be emotional than entirely lifeless.

Get her some tangerine flavored candy or maybe an orange shirt. Get a medium, just in case. People are generally on the thin side around here.

voice;

[thereforeproxy]

Ah, yes. Just strange, I never thought people would ever be encouraged to do so. [Such love...it seemed like something only a Proxy or misfit could feel.]

[Filtered]

They make candy like that? Do you know where they sell it?

voice;

[proxysearch]

I suppose they can afford to, for once. It almost makes me jealous.

[Filtered]

Probably at a shop in the mall. I'm certain I saw more than one candy store, and at least one entirely devoted to chocolate.

[thereforeproxy]

Was that mistletoe perhaps a city endeavor?

[Filtered]

That should be good, thank you.
