A prom... I remember going to mine, but that was a few years ago. I enjoyed myself. It's not for everyone, but it's definitely a fun sort of event even if this seems different than what I went to.

Anyway, I have two things I'd like to ask.

First, if there's anyone who wants something specifically made for them to wear to the prom, I'd like to let you know that I have some talent in fashion. I won't ask for too much right now, although certainly enough to cover the cost of materials and my time, but anything to help since my friend and I just arrived not too long ago... Well, it would be helpful to us.

As for my other question... [He pauses and sighs, shoulders slumping a little bit.] Does anyone have advice for someone trying to quite a bad habit? I'm afraid I might be slipping back into one of mine...

Lemon candy? Yeah, that'll just make your mouth feel like a raisin after awhile.

They do have nicotine patches here, I've seen 'em.

Tried those?

... They helped me a lot, when I was quitting.

They do? [The relief is practically leaking from him.] Oh thank goodness. I wasn't entirely certain what they would or wouldn't have here.

Considering how different it is here, it was something I was worried about. The last place I was... unexpectedly in wasn't so considerate.

Honestly, most things you could find in the regular modern world, you can probably find here. _{[... Well, if said modern world is anything like the one Heather's from, anyway. By this point, she's aware of the fact that there's a hell of a lot of worlds out there.]}

They might have different brand names, but they're around.

That's very good to hear. I'll have to pay close attention to the brands here, then...

Thank you. I'm afraid I didn't get your name. I'm Garry.

Just be prepared for literally every single brand-name to be some kind of Pokemon pun. _{[All her hiking gear is from RK9, a sporting subdivision of SlowbroCo. It's a thing.]}

Name's Heather.

Who on earth has that much time for something like that?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I think it's not a question of who has that much time and more a question of, what the fuck kind of society is so preoccupied with one thing that it's seen as totally normal for everything to be named a really bad pun after that thing.

_{[She actually totally understands the society-wide preoccupation with Pokemon, just not the preoccupation with puns.]}

I suppose this would be the kind of thing where the comment "they need a hobby" might apply, but the problem seems like they're too obsessed with one...

More or less.

Anyway, you get used to it.
