I haven't been in school for a while, but they definitely need you. That stuff goes way over my head, but I always admire anyone who's got a grasp of it.
[He is. Not sure if Mineo is being genuine here or is teasing Luca. Because Luca is treated like a glorified janitor at his job and nobody has ever said that they appreciate him before.]
[luca's surprise just inspires mineo's own? he tilts his head at that]
.... oh, one of those under-appreciated jobs?
Then they'll have to wisen up one day! Or they're gonna super need you and you'll be sipping some drink with a little umbrella somewhere on a beach, and they'll call you all like [high pitched voice:] "Valentino-saaaan! We should've treated you better!" [back to normal voice:] and you'll pull down your shades all, "Did you hear something?"
[THIS JUST CONFUSES HIM MORE. WHAT IS RELAXING ON THE BEACH???]
I- that would be nice, I suppose?
[Mineo is very sweet though and while Luca is confused af he will remember the sentiments later. Especially the fact that Mineo got his name correct without having to be reminded of how to pronounce 'Valentino'.]
[well - mineo's going to extend a hand again, but this time it's a very obvious motion so that luca can stop him at any time, and just pat luca's shoulder]
Yeah!
Give yourself a vacation sometime, man. You seem like the type that needs one.
I guess, but I'd prefer board shorts over... uh, this?
[like
hello
what kind of weird burlesque costume
it's just two guys being dudes here though so mineo's not like - embarrassed? despite being twink-passing with his own outfit on he's actually decently muscled from working out everyday he's just confused.]
[well he'll go over the weird timelines thing later - ]
Oh, well it's a phone... sort of. You could use it to text and stuff. I don't know if this little guy can even make it to the internet though. But it might work like...
[he. he doesn't actually know. what if he just swipes the air in front of the door with the phone?
he looks shocked when the lock actually clicks open]
Erm... Tech isn't my expertise - but if Takeru were here he could probably explain it? [pause] Well... could, but maybe not would...
[don't talk shit about takeru already, mineo]
But it works like that!
[and he'll move to close the door again]
It's stuff like... electricity and microchips and little beams that you can't see. [is it] Let's go find yours, I'll help you out before I go change too.
[It's okay, Luca will be meeting Takeru shortly and talking shit about Mineo with him.]
Well, if all the rooms are right here, then mine can't be far away.
[And indeed, it's not! Though he does grimace a bit when he sees the name of who he's rooming with. He hasn't met Sheila yet but he can tell that's a girl's name.]

...
Let's try to find better clothes before beginning a vacation.
no subject
[also like Who Changed Them
but he'll at least move to start going to explore....]
no subject
[Time to explore until they find the rooms!]
no subject
So probably?
no subject
[Oh look here's the rooms, let's find the right ones.]
...I do not remember getting a key though...
no subject
Whoa, they were expecting us - uhh, I think we're looking for a digital key?
[which is why he's automatically patting himself down]
Like a card key, or maybe a USB...?
[he'll find his phone eventually - ]
This? This thing's ancient!
no subject
[Is that a weird key? Maybe it's a weird key. But he does seem interested to learn.]

Well. This is going to be awkward.

[endorsi is a name that mineo can't quite place so he's not having the same struggle but]
... I'd bunk with you if I could, man.
[he literally attacked this man earlier and yet]
no subject
[He wouldn't mind bugging Mineo by bringing home guys to bang, but he can't do that around a lady!]
no subject
If we can swap later, let me know and I'll see if I can switch!
Otherwise, I'm gonna go, yeah? This thing's getting a little awkward to be in and I don't really wanna make it a habit.
