People in general - but he told me to look for people who would have open hearts that would be willing to chat with him, hopefully. I don't know you very well but... I want to help you too, so maybe this is a good place to start - to connect two people who want to talk.
[and he smiles easily. he takes a sip of hot chocolate before he continues]
Beauty's really nice! He's very charming, definitely. I like him a lot. He'll answer your questions and try to help you - he wants to win the game, of course, but I think he's really soft-hearted.
[Flattered considerably, Luke resolves to definitely speak with Beauty. It didn't take much.
On the other hand, what to do with this rose? Twirling it idly between his fingers as he takes a deep drink of hot chocolate, he looks over the rim of the mug at Senri, considering his works. When he finally puts it down, he has a chocolate foam mustache.]
[ . . . moe. Senri gets a brief, almost impossible to catch spark in his eye.]
Of course. I've got some other tips on meeting gods - a lot of them are pretty nice - but how about we take a quick picture? You look good with the rose.
Sure - but I think you just look good with it too.
[shameless! but he'll pull out his phone for a selfie, moving to bump shoulders with Luke playfully before lifting his arm so that the selfie camera is on them
senri throws up a V for Victory next to his face and gives his best smile
luke can probably see his foam mustache but senri's taking the pic anyway!]
Oh. [his cheeks pink at the compliment. hard to come back from that.] Th-thanks...
[But it's the selfie that catches him the most off-guard. As soon as the camera's out, he's gawking at it—and actively looks shocked at the device itself.]
[nice, senri now has a picture of luke with a foam mustache WHILE he's blushing. he grins brightly before tapping his photos app and showing it to luke]
Is this your first experience with a cell phone with a camera too?
[with the sudden appearance of a mysterious "cell fon" with unexplainable fontech imaging properties, he leans in, wordlessly, barely registering the image itself. Luke nods slowly in response, the unknown words swirling in his head.]
Wow. [he means it, and not even because the image's construction largely seems to imply he and Senri just finished a successful date.] It just... paints a picture of whatever it sees?
Yep! Just like that. It lives in my phone for now, but I've been trying to see if I can get a printer so we can get the actual picture to hold in our hands?
It can do videos and stuff too - so like, moving pictures...?
[video!! there was only one other place he'd seen something this advanced, but on such a small, portable device, able to show anyone, anywhere...
also, it was a genuinely nice sunset.]
...That's incredible. It must've taken you a really long time to make that. [the cell fon. his respect for Senri has grown enormously. what a talented young man.]
[senri tilts his head at that and seems to hesitate a second - but ultimately does hand luke his phone. he does that thing where he relocks it and opens only the camera so luke can't open anything else, nothing personal.]
... mmm, sure, I guess. But please be suuuuper careful. My whole life is on here.
[He nods, taking it in his hand, and stares at the screen. For a minute or so, he looks around the room via only the screen, clearly intrigued, but not taking any pictures.
When he finally swings the lens back around, he stops on Senri--

[...A rose, huh?]
Did he ask for me, or just... people in general? [And then, immediately:] What kind of god is he?

Thank you. I'll give it a shot.

It suits you.

[Luke stares down at the rose in his hand, and back at Senri.] ...Because of the color? [is this a redhead joke]

Check it out! I think we look great.

Still, the mention of moving pictures gets even his fontech-ambivalent mind racing. How??????]
Seriously? How? Do you have any?

[and with a few taps on his phone he'll pull up a video of a sunset from the viewpoint of a high building in tokyo?? it pans simply from side to side]
See?

.... as nice as that is, I really wish I could take credit.
But for right now, I actually bought it. Where I'm from, these are super common.
no subject
Like... everyone just, has one of these?
no subject
It's pretty cool... I didn't think too hard about it until I came here.
no subject
That's... awesome!
[this, more than anything, is genuinely getting him interested in fontech.]
Do you think that I could try it? The picture thing, I mean.

Gotcha!
