[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??? ]

[glaciers]

It's about getting into acting.

[appraiser]

Oh! You're an actor? In plays? Movies?

[glaciers]

Sometimes extras in movies. Usually one off or recurring characters in tv shows.

[appraiser]

[ aim higher, shouto!! ]

When are you going to make your big debut as the lead actor? I would love to come watch you when that happens.

[glaciers]

[He doesn't have time for that! He has to graduate from school first.]

After I'm out of high school and have time for that kind of commitment.

[appraiser]

You're on summer break right now, aren't you? You've months before going back to school.

[ Make it big in two-three months. You can do it. Ryoji believes in you. ]

[glaciers]

I am, but two months is the minimum amount of time it takes to make a movie. Most movies are in the range of two to three months.

I could manage something like a recurring role in a tv show, but there's no way I could bend time enough for a movie role.

[appraiser]

Bending time...

If you could, say, go back and redo hours of your day and keep the results, would you? I might be able to help.
