[ i think it's funniest if they're at the selfie shop because jonas would not spend much time here. it's a new morning and it means he's off on an adventure to explore what might be new, checking into things and entering this shop. there is...so much happening here, frankly, that it's entirely possible jonas doesn't even realize there's somebody else in the store?
case in point, he's surrounded by bright orange telephones for some reason. ]
What...the hell is this? [ WHY. ]

[ help
this room is so bright. there is a lot going on here, and fei du, like a true gen zer, has his phone in his hand, absently taking a picture of the surroundings. when he spots jonas and his rightful confusion, he lifts his phone and mimes taking a picture. ]
They're backgrounds for people to post on social media - the idea is to capture a good picture of yourself in a different background instead of something normal. Drawing attention, and all of that jazz. A bit disorienting, huh?

[ glad fei du's a zoomer. jonas is a modern but he truly looks so baffled and annoyed by this concept for a hot second. ]
That's. One of the stupidest things I've ever heard. [ it's almost absurdly funny. ] I mean I get it, I've taken a lot of selfies, too, but this is a little overkill.

[ cheerfully: ]
It is very stupid. Then again, what is social media if not on the vapid side?
[ as he picks up his phone and takes a picture anyway, though not a selfie - just of the absolutely ridiculous room itself. ] What sort of theme do you think this one has? Phorange...?

[ help. this gets a huff of a laugh, actually, as he flicks his gaze over to jonas, amused. ]
For the aesthetic, you think? Some aesthetic, at least.

Want to? Let's make a scathing critique or two.
[ this sounds delightful, actually. ] As for fashion sense, I've got you covered. Let's see what other monstrosities we can find.

[ crawls free of moving hell
off to the next room they go! ]
Aika did say that we'd find plenty of funny places as we went along here. I guess this must only be the beginning...?
[ and the next room is
a bubble bath. ]
...Hmm.

[ he picks up one of the "bubbles" - it's a plastic ball? - and tosses it lightly in jonas's direction. ]
Splash.
[ please. ] I think it's a little better. It's at least less orange, which is a point in its favor.

[ oooh, neat skill. he'll catch it when it comes back, shockingly less useless at that then you might expect. maybe. ]
Is this the place for those kind of photos? [ jokingly ] It's a solid mediocre, I agree.
[ as he digs around in his pocket and pulls out his phone. ] Come on, we might as well take one.

[ maybe. might've been a test to see what he could do. ]
Hey man, I don't know how people live their lives. You can't tell me there's a zero chance we have at least one person like that here. [ but he hums a little. photos. right. ]
Call it proof of how ridiculous this is? [ it's not a no though. ]

[ imagine i had been like "he gets hit in the face" ]
Oh, I'm sure. [ dreamwidth user onlypets (no). but, amused, he leans on the edge of the bathtub and pulls up his phone, turning the camera on to selfie mode.
a bit deadpan, as he holds up the ball with his other hand: ] Cheese.

[ his is very relaxed, sort of a smile but not really. Mystewious.
anyway this comment makes him chuckle as he examines the picture and holds it out for jonas's inspection. this is a very Ironic TM picture. ]
That is something that seems to afflict a big portion of our group, huh? It's almost hard to imagine living that way.

[ fei du your mystewy. but jonas is looking at the photo before nodding. yes. perfect. ]
Yeah. I've had to explain it to a few people since we've gotten here and every time I do it makes me even more curious what they have instead. But there's the whole...different planes thing. So maybe it's not as weird.

I'm still getting used to that too, to be honest. [ god... different planes... wild....
fei du shakes his head, quipping - ] The frog surprised me. [ as he tucks his phone back into his pocket. ] Though, he is very nice.

Libby explained a possibility for it and ever since I've kind of decided just not to think that hard about much of this. Seems a lot safer that way. [ but there is. gerard. yes. ] Pretty sure the frog surprised everybody, including the frog. But I've only talked to him a little bit.
...anybody else leave enough of an impression on you yet?

Depends on what you mean by impression. [ this comes with a little smile. ] We've got quite the interesting crew, don't we? To say people from all walks of life is putting it lightly.
I'm fond of my teammates - well. Wenzhou's passable. The other two are lovely. [ be nice to wenzhou ] What about you?

Interesting's a good word for it. [ oh boy. ]
I haven't spoken to your teammates much but they seem okay. Mine've been...a lot better than I thought. But even before we settled I kind of tried to get an impression of most people here. People like Shenhe, Wolfwood, Vash, Ylfa, Rin, Matsui, D, Shu...they've left some kind.

[ selfies feel so long ago
anyway. whew what a trial
after all of that, fei du can be found innnn the ikea. he's sitting in a chair tucked away a bit, a green jacket slung around his shoulders, and most importantly, there's very soft music playing from his phone that's sitting on his lap.
his eyes are closed, but, at least it doesn't look like he's asleep or anything! ]

[ the josh groban jumpscare, jesus. anyway, jonas is pretty sick of being in a small space like mcdonald's so ikea is...nice. nice? sure. it's spacious, at least, and it means he can wander to his heart's content and try to get his thoughts in order, but he stops in his movements when he recognizes a figure tucked away from the main path.
he's like. not sure if he's really dozing or not because he's too far away, but as he approaches he gets the sense fei du is really just vibing with his music. ]
You know...nine hours sounded like a good amount of time until we actually got into it.
