"Where did you even get a sweater for a horse. Unless you made it yourself."

was this one of those horse girls that were famous trope in america, horse girlies perhaps? did he even want to know?

"If he gets bigger, are you going to keep doing this?"

"He's got hair, yeah. But this winter is cold. Colder than anything I've seen in the last fifteen years..."

"He needs fresh air, but it seemed too cruel to bring him outside without some comfort. So... yeah."

[asteriskleon]

he can't be open about how he feels because he knows its going to cause a fight. After all how could you say to one person you just met that they felt fake as hell. Being around women who were like that from the get go, no not just women. but normal humans who were afraid of your existence even as a child...

"Japan, I was schooled in Japan before I got here. My father was Irish so I got my tall genetics from him."

"I'll… take that as a compliment?" Rika's smile was still bright, though there was a glint of obvious confusion in her eyes that just barely furrowed her brow. She looked around, fidgeting with her skirt awkwardly. What point was the man trying to make, anyway?

Damn it, was he going to rob her?! Rika pursed her lips and decided that remaining cool and composed was the best way to handle the situation.

"Blondes — especially people with my hair color, specifically," Rika held out a strand of her own hair for a moment, letting it fall over her shoulder. "— Are pretty common, honestly. Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking? You needn't answer if you'd rather not, but I don't know that you're one of the Radial City locals, so to speak."

[asteriskleon]

Ah, now he knows. He remembers some girls were like that, vapid, hiding deep thoughts. Unwilling to be broached on anything.

A bitch.

no no thats too rude. you can't assume because her very self felt fake. Maybe she had a good reason , and at least she is acting in a way that society will accept. better then being a total bitch in public at the very least.

"...No, we just met. I'm sure, I don't know many blonds anyways and with a personality like yours, your easy to remember."

Faaaaan-tastic. Rika didn't recall him at all, but she wouldn't put it past the scientists running the city to scramble her memories for funsies. Still, she puts on a bright, airy persona, like always.

"Really? I've been told I do resemble a pop star we have back home..."

"Just kidding! But I don't recognize you, I'm afraid -- is this not your first time in the city? Maybe we've bumped into each other before, and that's where you know me from. My name is Rika, if that helps at all -- Rika Kim. I know, I know, two very common names."

"...You remind me of someone. I just can't put my finger on it..."

the power to identify fake people was real, but also Lester was always wary of people who smiled all the time or did most of the problem solving. little did he know...

[asteriskleon]

Its true, Lester continues to wear his classic crop top look, his muscles doing most of the work as he did work around the city to make ends meet. A life of stability...wasn't in his goals right now.

"...Does he have not his own fur?"

"Because it's cold outside. Why ain't you wearing one?" she asks.

"Can't promise that I'll make any more sense, but I'll answer any questions if you got 'em."

[asteriskleon]

...

"No, people talk too loud here. Its a mess of conflicting answers. nothing makes sense."

but he remains calm since this is a place where he would have to clean up after himself, his under age ass aside.

He finally opens his eyes.

"...Why is he wearing a sweater."

"Hey, kid. Good to see you again." Maria greets Lester with a smile. She's wearing a burgundy outfit and a scarf she got from a friend.

"How's the new year treatin' ya? You come up with any more questions?"

Mister Blue is with her too. He's wearing a miniature horse-sized sweater.

[asteriskleon]

"I suppose it is the new year....but its halfway through the month already."

Lester voice is not that ecstatic to understand that its been quiet a while since he arrived in this city. After all who would be when the options aren't quiet so great here for him.

"Earth? well... A huge meteor storm that was called the great Inertia happened, causing a massive deposit of manarite deposits to arrive on earth. I'm not good with history but genestellars starting being born since a lot of pregnant woman were effected by it."

Recounting history lesson was a hassle but he understands the need to know. even if he doesn't like doing it. it was simply courtesy for someone who was polite enough to him and who asked.

"Genestellars are just people who are born with massive strength and speed compared to an average person, so ...basically super humans. I think we made up...3 percent of the population."
