[appraiser]

[ Ryoji stares at the "Purposefully dial a wrong number" square on his bingo sheet for several minutes before closing his eye and punching in whatever numbers his finger lands on. A conversation is a minimum two words exchanged, so. Easy enough. ]

Hello~ My name's Ryoji. Do you have time to talk?

[glaciers]

Shouto. What do you want to talk about...?

[appraiser]

Hi Shouto~ [ Oh- there was that code phrase from before; he could use that. ] Do you remember horses?

[glaciers]

I do. It's weird that they just disappeared without a trace.

[appraiser]

It really is the strangest thing. I remember looking forward to riding horses during the Founders Day celebration at the start of the year, but it wasn't meant to be. But if you remember, then you have the Retrospec application, right? I thought it would be good to get to know people on the network, so I apologize for calling out of the blue.

[glaciers]

I do have it, but I don't mind the sudden call. Did you get one of those bingo cards too?

[appraiser]

[ a laugh ]

You saw through me right away! I did get one of the cards, and you can probably guess which square prompted this call. But it's still true that I would like to get to know people.

[glaciers]

I have the same square on mine. That's all. I wonder if that one's common.

... What do you want to know?

[appraiser]

I know people who ignore all calls from unknown numbers, so I was a bit worried about completing this square. But I'm glad I was able to reach you! Are you having fun filling out the card?

[glaciers]

I would've hung up if you were trying to sell something.

It's been... interesting? I made my first sandcastle.

[appraiser]

...I do have to sell lemonade somehow, but I'll try to do that without solicitation. A sandcastle sounds fun, though! I don't think I've ever built one before either... it's a lot of hard work, only to be destroyed by the tide.

[glaciers]

I think you could sell that on the beach without many problems.

Everything is pretty transient when you think about it. I think it's the process that's supposed to be fun?

[appraiser]

"Everything is transient"... That's very true. If I ever catch you at the beach, maybe you can show me how to have fun.

[ Instead of the other way around... yeah. ]

[glaciers]

I'm... not sure I'm the right person for that.

I don't think I'm very good at having fun.

[appraiser]

I'm sure you're great at having fun. What's something that you enjoy? We can do that.

[glaciers]

Hm.

Comic books. And anything that has heroes in it.

[appraiser]

[ Ah, reading. Indoor hobbies Ryoji was never very good at, for having to sit still. ]

I remember enjoying those sorts of shows when I was younger. It was something like... Featherman?

[glaciers]

That one's good.

I like Captain Might and Falconeye.

[appraiser]

I love Captain Might! When I was younger, I tried to style my hair just like his!

[ none of ryoji's icons show it, but he would definitely try to copy all might's bunny eared hair... ]

[glaciers]

[There's a soft chuckle out of him]

Did it take a lot of gel?

[appraiser]

[ Ryoji's laugh is loud and bright as he recalls his younger self. ]

I would use too much, and my bangs were too heavy to stay upright. Other times I'd use too little and it'd all come undone while I'm running around!

[glaciers]

[It's a cute image. A kid running around with their hair like that.]

It seems like it's harder to manage in real life.

[appraiser]

One day I'll perfect it!

[ That's to say, he hasn't thought about doing so in years, but it's never too late to pick it back up ]

Maybe during the convention at the end of the month, I'll be able to get tips on styling hair. Are you going?

[glaciers]

Please send me a picture.

I'm going. I think I'm on a panel and doing some signing.

[appraiser]

I'll do that! [ maybe he'll dress up as Captain Might for the convention, who knows ]

What's the panel about?

[ Who are you??? ]
