[ he'll never complain again about how rin's school gets an indoor pool ]
Yeah. Feels like we should've graduated by now. [ three years of high school... ] What's your school like? You can take over, if you want. [ if it's easier to control the VR to answer, they can swap. ]
It's nothing fancy, but I'm kind of trying to hype it up right now so Jonas will relax. It's like the only school in town, and it's a tiny town, so it feels crowded because you know like every single kid there. But kind of empty, because the building is way bigger than it needs to be for how few of us there are.
[ hmm... she doesn't really want to project their school, because i personally am making shit up and have no reference for it, but she'll take over to show him a little town on an island, right by the docks. ]
Oh. Is he transferring in? [ nts hype up high school? he observes their new surroundings, mostly taken in by its proximity to the water, because he's predictable. ] ...This feels familiar.
[ he's also from a small town of the coastal variety, so it hits a little nostalgic. ]
[ the vr is a double-edged sword in its familiarity; it has him feeling homesick when it's not even his home. he can only imagine it's weirder for the person controlling it. ]
It's nice. ...Quiet.
When tourists aren't around, you could make a place like this feel like yours. [ or that's how he used to feel as a kid on an empty beach, anyway. ]

It doesn't seem bad.

[ alex looks around a bit, too. kind of weird seeing it again, honestly. ]
It's a bit touristy, but it's just a ferry ride away from home. We used to come here a lot just to hang out at the beach and stuff.

The rest of the time it's more like this.

Off-seasons are okay. Even if it's too cold to swim. [ the water is nice to be around any time of year. ] ...You said there's a beach?
no subject
Yeah, lemme... [ so she tries to change the location and. for a second it's the bottom of the ocean? before it quickly readjusts to the beach! ]
