[He didn't understand the nerd culture behind star trek, but heckie it was a good movie. Lots of boom.]
Reading's kinda boring. You ever just read a paragraph and then like... put the book down and think "ah shit, what just happened?" it's like that every time for me
Guess I could get into the tv shows though.
You... hunk smashed out of your own clothing? Damn.
[If only there were a film database along with those books and a viewing unit.]
Yeah, sometimes. Maybe you’re just reading the wrong kind of books though. Sometimes you have to go looking for your Goldilocks book, maybe even an author or genre. Not all of them are going to be a win.
And, yeah, I guess so. My left arm’s made of metal and not as pliant.
Actually, it’s not so bad if you can get decent sizing. Our choices here are pretty limited though, even as far as raggedly worn collections of clothing go.
You don’t like sleeves? I wouldn’t mind if I could keep them on, to be honest. Draft likes to run in through the openings sometimes, so a quarter of my body is colder than the other side. Not really a very great feeling. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Closing his eyes? If the mouth is like the :-D then I’ve got that part figured, but I’m not really seeing the eyes. Looks kinda like a bowtie to me instead of eyes.
The first soldier you’ve met? Huh. I never would have figured. Is it weird?
Well... I've met some soldiers around here, I guess, but no one that's been like... modern day government kinda soldiers, you know? I'm from Japan, we can't have a standing military or anything like that.
But. Then it’s a bowtie with a smile under it... And that doesn’t make sense.
But, yeah. I’m American, so.
...is that not weird either though? That I’m something like that because I’m from another country that has it. And that that’s what I do. [Did.] Sorry if that’s weird to ask. I’m just wondering. I only know what it’s like being me.
Maybe he's standing on his head. Look, I'm no expert on the study of emojis, but I have been using them for quite some time. You can trust me. :)
With a name like James, I kinda figured to be honest...
I dunno. I've met a bunch of people over the past few months that I never thought I would've. I'm not a judgmental person unless you're full on asshole, but if that's the case, then you've got your own problems.
Well. I could be British, right? Maybe. Or French. Or neither since you’ve heard me talk once before and my accent is...pretty obviously American. That’s something you can tell too though, right? Even if you don’t know English the same?
I hope I’m not a full on asshole though. I try not to be. Sorry if I ever am though.
Huh. Don't judge me but I looked upside down and I kinda see it. An unhappy guy with a bowtie. Not what I was goin' for though lol
Mn, you gave off very American vibes. Is there such thing as an American vibe? I dunno, but it feels like it woulda fit. I've seen a ton of American action movies before.
[And have you seen those awesome American t-shirts he wears? Oh wait, he hasn't gotten those back yet.
I think there is... Whatever’s in the movies. So. Yeah... We’re not much different from on the big screen in some ways.
Which is fascinating as much as it is stupid.
I’m glad though. I think you’re pretty swell too, y’know? Easy to talk to. Probably helps we’re from a similar era, but. Still. You’re not very fussy, and you’re a good kid.
Tch, man. Show me a bowtie that doesn't look ugly. If it's gotta be formal, a tie is good enough. And before you ask, nah, my school never made us wear ties. Just this turtleneck sweater that only your momma could love.
Sometimes I wonder what woulda happened if I grew up in America. I don't really fit in back home too much, but it's on account that I don't really care about all our rigid, dumb rules. Americans are like that too, yeah? I don't really know, it's just a perception. Stereotype? Whatever.

Yeah but like. Your clothing costs must go through the roof.
Embrace the sleeveless life dude. It's what I do too.

Huh? That sounds horrible... So on like a hot night can you put your arm in the freezer and then under your pillow for maximum cooling power?
no subject
Hate to disappoint, but not how it works. Actually, when it’s really hot, it’s pretty hard to keep the arm cool. So.
Not to mention I have a lot of other metal in my body too, so.
[Yep.]

How do you get through airport security?
no subject
And I don’t. I don’t use public airports.
no subject
Who doesn't use public airports? Were you super rich and had a private jet?
no subject
God. I wish. More like I took a lot of military transport instead. [As a stowaway. But. Details.]
no subject
Sorry, I had to make that joke.]
XD? It's an emote, like. A guy smiling and closing his eyes. I dunno.
Oh, military? We don't have a standing one, so I guess you're the first I've met
no subject
But not wrong...]
