[RL - birthday party.]

[Anyone who's one of Issei's friends (that does not include you, Greed) received a handwritten invitation to Issei's temple on March 3rd. They were invited over to dinner and then to schmoozing afterwards.

Dinner was remarkably delicious for something prepared by monks, and the party is now in the 'random conversation in the largest room available' segment. There's also a cake on one of the tables.

Issei will be coming to chat up every guest, or they can talk amongst themselves.]

No way, I mean, I did bring thomething, but I didn't want to give it to you if it wath going to be the wrong thing to do, that'th all. [He reaches into his captchalogue and pulls out a small computer disk.] I made you a fetch moduth.

Fetch modus? I'm not sure what that is.

[He accepts it anyway, examining it closely (but not too closely in case it, you know, explodes.)]

I couldn't figure out how you were carrying thothe bookth around, and then I realithed your fetch moduth mutht be broken. I wathn't sure what you liked, tho I made it like a book. You jutht have to remember what page you put your thtuff on and open it up to get it out.

[...well it is handier than carrying a big box of books.]

Thank you very much. I'll make sure to make use of it.

[Sollux smiles, showing off his teeth] Great! I hope you like it, then.

I do. Thank you very much.

...How do you, ah, set it up?

...You don't know? Jutht run the program.

I've never had a fetch modus before. I'll do that.

You...don't have a fetch moduth?

No. When I want to transport things I carry them, or put them in a box or a backpack.

You...carry them? [What does that even...mean?]

[Issei sighs.] You know how I was holding that box of books?

Uh....yeah. You mean, you did that the whole time? Jutht...holding them?

Right, that's it exactly.

...That doethn't make thenthe.

Try not to think about it too much. It's an other-worlds-thing.

Yeah, probably good advithe.

[At least he had no trouble holding things long enough to eat them at dinner.]

Come to think of it, you probably haven't been in a temple before, have you?
