hey. bumped into people around here looking for others to do stuff with, like sports, hanging out, etc. was thinking we could share what hobbies we have and maybe find people to do stuff with. or even just chat about whatever.

i visit the gym for muscle training with a friend, go running with another (who should talk about that). used to skateboard and even played soccer years ago. i know karate if anyone else does it. and a sensei who won't mind teaching if anyone's interested.

so, yeah. you into fashion, music, or just want to talk about something with people, could be fun. find out if anyone else is really into big fluffy birds called chocobos

( ooc: please mingle, share character hobbies or whatever your character wants to chatter about. no need to ask robby anything. ♡

topics!!:

[ another rectangle!! kaveh, who has been following this riveting building of artistic talent, grins to himself. the drawings may be simple, yes, but they convey quite a bit about the individual's personality. kind, patient, with the kind of lack of shame that comes with someone who knows his limits and where he stands, but drawn with the care of someone who observes the world the way it presents itself.

solid, kaveh thinks, is the word for it. ]

I see!
I found the walkman in a store that had many other electronics. I'd say it 'sold' them, but these places generally feel like walk-in warehouses than actual establishments, especially given the lack of currency.
I don't recall seeing any tapes, in but in my defense, I hadn't known to look for them.
Now I do.
If these tapes do what I think they do, then they operate very similar to a spincrystal - which is a repository of information encoded onto a physical surface, which can be read by technology that is tailored to do so.
But since these cassettes are old where you come from, you must be familiar with better ways to encode and read information.
Thank you. This information has been very useful. I'll go out and find tapes, and see what can be done with them.
I'd like to repay this favour when I can, however; if you ever need anything built, renovated or fixed or otherwise, let me know. I've nothing but time here after all, and a pair of idle hands to boot.

if you go back to the shop you can message me pictures and i'll tell you if you found a cassette. you can show me other things too you don't know about. not like i got a lot else to do either

[ Also, the idea of pointing out things to someone not in the know is strangely funny in Robby's head right now. ]

but, sure, i'll let you know if i need a hand. since you seem to like this kind of stuff, [ knowing random facts, ] yeah, tapes work like you described. our current tech does too: information is imprinted on a surface and the device has a way of reading it. cassette tapes have a thin material on the inside.

if you see circles with a hole in the middle (you can find them in square plastic cases) those are CDs. that's what came next.

Ah, the naming of technology is as esoteric as ever. Cassettes to CDs. I'm assuming the 'C' doesn't have anything to do with cassettes whatsoever.
Speaking of names, what ought I call you? 'Displayname' is charming but I'd think that's a joke of a sorts.

[ ...damn, way to make Robby think for a full minute, but. ]

not as far as i know, but i don't know what CD stands for. the D might be disk.

[ Fuck, what's that C stand for!! ]

and the name's robby. i wasn't happy about filling out that survey we got when we showed up.

And you and I both on that. Well met, though, Robby. It's a pleasure. If I ever find what that CD thing stands for, then, I'll share and we can mull over it together.
