So... pretend for a minute that you grew up trapped in a tower for your entire life, and now you have the freedom to do basically anything. I'm looking for interesting places or activities to do for someone like that, so does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm fresh out of ideas.

[His world isn't a very fun one, so he's not a good judge of what's cool and interesting and fun to do these days... but he wants to help his sheltered friend live a little!!]

Anything and everything will probably be at least a little interesting to experience for such a person, so you might as well start by showing them the things that you enjoy.

As that person experiences new things, they will slowly develop an understanding of their own preferences. Though, it might take a while.

As their companion, you can watch for these developments and encourage them.

Having a dear friend to serve as a guide and companion while experiencing the world is very helpful.

[Is Nagisa talking from personal experience? ...Maybe.]

Yeah, the thing is I don't really enjoy a lot of things? I mean, I think I already showed him pretty much all I've got.

Really?

That does make things a little more complicated...

You could start by going to places or trying things similar to things you both already enjoy.

Or looking up lists of things to try one by one.

I suppose those aren't bad ideas... it's a little hard to come up with anything when you come from a place that's not very fun to begin with. But I do know he's easily amused, at least. So I'm sure he'd like anything.

It makes me a little sad to hear that.

About your world, I mean.

Not that your friend is easily amused.

In fact, that makes your decision much easier. Now you only need to worry about picking activities or places that you yourself would enjoy.

[ Admittedly, that isn't too hard for Kenta to imagine. Not those exact circumstances, mind you, but how overwhelming newfound freedom feels. Going from nothing to anything is a lot, in a way that's hard to put into words. ]

the garden in blossomcrown! they're really pretty and fun to walk around! 😊

A garden's not a bad idea at all. I think he'd like that... he's an artist, so you know the type of people they tend to be.

[All into nature and that kind of crap... well, not that Lillium dislikes that kind of thing, either.]

Feel like discussing poetry or reading a couple of books?

Or even taking a simple stroll around the city? There are plenty of things to do around here!

Poetry and reading both sound kind of... boring. No offense.

We've also already walked around the city about ten times, looking at restaurants and stuff. He loves it, but blindly looking around for something to do is a little tiring.

At the risk of sounding a lot like a certain somebody I know, you can always train.

If reading and doing poetry are boring, then it seems you need some adrenaline!

Actually? Teaching him how to defend himself isn't a half bad idea. I never planned on it, but now that you mention it he does get himself into enough trouble that he'd really benefit from it.

Oh, do you know Childe? Because I don't think he needs any help defending himself.

He's more than capable! He's....interesting!

Uh, no. I have no idea who that is. Sorry.

I'm talking about my friend, who's incapable of plenty things and could use all the help he can get.

Is that so?

Care to tell me who this mysterious friend of yours is? If he is truly incapable, I'm sure I can teach him a thing or two.

Have you ever had ice cream before?

[ i mean... if he lived in a tower maybe ice cream did not make its way there!!! ]

Yeah, I've got the new foods covered pretty good already. Though if you know any good places to get interesting flavours I'm all ears.

Perhaps those with toppings?

Or ice cream with mochi?

Ice cream with mochi sounds good. I don't even know if I've ever had that before.

Then you must try it!

And ice cream with adzuki... It sounds so delightful!

Sounds like you're going to have to get yourself some today, too.

Hehe, if not today, then very soon.

I'm sorry I don't have much to suggest beyond food at this time. Most of my experiences here are all very new, as well. Inazuma, the nation that I am from, is rather different from this world, you see.

Riding Blastcycles! Or I guess motorcycles since they don't have Blastcycles here.

Running's also good though.

I'm not going to let that guy get anywhere near a motorcycle. And like hell am I going to just go run for fun unless there's somewhere to run to.

Is this for your friend? And it's not that hard to learn, though if he has bad balance I can understand.

And maybe, I don't know you could go visit the ocean or something? And there's always shopping.

It's not that he has bad balance, it's that I don't trust him to drive a car let alone a motorcycle.

The ocean and shopping are the best you've got other than that?

I mean you gotta help a guy out here because I barely know either of you.

I'd say go to an amusement park or something like that, but you probably don't trust your friend on the rides.

Are you planning activities for me?

[ because GUESS WHO LIVED IN A TOWER THEIR WHOLE LIFE... ]

Um.... who are you?

I am Nenonen. I grew up inside a research tower.

Oh.

Join the club, I guess? My friend's name is Iris, so I'm not planning anything for you but you can look at the ideas people give me and plan something for yourself?

You have a club for people raised in towers? I will join it if you do. I am also in the Kalims & Music Club, so if you like music or are named Kalim, you may join as well.

You really were raised in a tower, weren't you?

Yes, I was. I said that already.

Yes you did. You did say that already.

You should meet Iris. I think he'd get a kick out of it.

Alright.
I will kick him.

Not literally! It's an expression!

[Lillium is cracking up now.]

To get a kick out of something means you find that thing amusing.

Oh
So I shouldn't kick him?

Please don't. The kid's been through enough trauma, he doesn't need strangers kicking him.

Physical trauma? There is a hospital here he can go to for healing.
Oryou's kisses also work.

Emotional trauma. A kiss won't fix that, unfortunately. But I'm hoping that I can at least distract him from it.

Oh. I don't know how to fix that.

What kinds of distractions have you acquired?

Mostly food related ones.

Food is an excellent distraction. Is he able to keep solid foods down? If not, you should try getting him a blender. And a kettle.
