[It looks like he and Akira were assigned the arts and crafts table here. Flower, fabric, ribbons, ornaments, various trinkets, for making elaborate headgear. Apparently, they were to go to the Palai unification dance.

Dirk, who is a consummate craftsman both in robot parts and puppet-construction, is not totally sure how to approach this.]

Do you have any experience making hats?

Comments

[splinten]

About four hundred years after that.

[so. those clown cops? he figures Akira's general anti-establishment attitude will come out more as they talk.

And make togetherness headbands. You two, why.]

[actus]

[ anti-establishment and togetherness. sounds legit. ]

That long?

[ akira wrinkles his nose, and he has to ask, in utter deadpan... ]

Does the internet survive?

[ THAT'S ALL YOU WANT TO KNOW? ]

[splinten]

[see Dirk agrees that this is Super Important]

Yeah, its archives were basically what I grew up on.

[actus]

Good.

[ akira: king of the memes is thrilled with this knowledge. ]

I can rest easy knowing cat pictures persist in the future.

[splinten]

[Dirk must comfort Akira with the fact that]

Long cat outlived humanity itself.

[actus]

[ he takes a dramatic sigh of relief, wiping off the nonexistent sweat from his brow. ]

But what about piano cat?

[ AKIRA THAT HASN'T BEEN COOL IN YEARS? ]

[splinten]

[straight-faced]

Almost lost in the great meme purges of 2234, but rescued by the quick intervention of a teenager's shitposting account.

[actus]

[ deadpan as well... ]

And spongegar?

[ he's okay if that one died. ]

[splinten]

[Dirk takes off his glasses and flips them around so Akira can see the shades:

They're actually a screen, and it's showing a Spongegar meme about... juggalos? Weird but apparently relevant.]

Produced in 2121.

[actus]

[ akira is fascinated by the glasses more so than the weird juggalos. but thanks, man! ]

... So that's why you wear them all the time. I'm kind of jealous.

[splinten]

[He puts them back on.]

Plus, they look cool.

[No they don't.]

An offer to modify your glasses would be empty given that the technological level here doesn't allow for that. If we hit up a world advanced past this place, just hand them over and I'll give you computing shades.
