ikea being ikea means they have to pass through a hundred different sections before they even reach the lighting fixtures. hopefully thorns has fun while elysium gets distracted by absolutely everything. ]
Uh huh, uh huh. Are you staying warm enough at night? It gets cold out at sea. C'mere! Feel how soft these blankets are.
thorns is realizing this man is impossible to shop with. he feels like he was already aware of this fact though, which is why he ever did this with him. ]
You gave me your approval, though? How are the curtains in your room? The sun gets pretty bright out at sea, especially when it's unobstructed and reflecting off the water.
Blackout curtains could do you good. What do you think?
[ he spends money on himself it is just usually one of his absurd hobbies so what he buys will have any usage outside of blowing things up. it's fine. ]
We need to remember to only get what I can fit inside.
[ he may have the biggest room on the ship, but it's still not the same as an average size bedroom elsewhere. ]
[ when he says that, he means quality of life. plenty of people would take issue with how much thorns spends on his chemicals, but that isn't what he's talking about. ]
What, did you think I was going to try and get you an entire entertainment system?
[ as they cross into the kitchen area, elysium settles back into his usual easygoing manner… ]
if he were aboard thorns' ship, he might get that antsy. as it is, he's only around long enough to care whether or not thorns has a chess set, which he probably does. ]
Oh! Out at sea, you guys probably get to eat a lot of sashimi, yeah?
[ between this thread and the other i now want sushi so bad ]
he's already wandered over to the planters in trying to not think about thorns and his knives. some plant friends will do thorns good, he thinks? as long as they are not poisonous plants friends. hmm. ]

Let's get this out of the way first, then. I'll say no to anything that's too expensive.
no subject
I know what you need for sure—a better light. A candle isn't good enough for working at night. You're gonna ruin your eyes like that.
[ is
thorns really going to let elysium leave nene at the play area ]
no subject
... That's fine. We should get one for the kitchen too then.
[ and his lab... whoa... ]

It is soft.

[ 🥺

ugh. ]
Fine.

[ in all fairness to elysium
he's at least sticking things that have a practical excuse. he just wants his uni to live in comfort… out at sea… ]

Can you think of anything else you might need?

instead he looks around... and immediately walks over to a block of knives to inspect them. ]
Maybe...?

but thorns nods. it is the easiest thing to get a hold of, at least, as long as they're somewhere that's safe to fish at. ]
Yeah. It doesn't make up for other nutrients, but it's an easy meal.
no subject
Don't get tempted into repurposing them as weapons.
no subject
well. ]
I could make them sharper.
no subject
To cut fish up easier, yeah?
no subject
Lets keep going.

This is for the kitchen.
[ THE OTHER ONE ISN'T FOR THE KITCHEN? ]
no subject
… Wouldn't you rather get knives from an actual armory? Do you need more arms, Thorns? You know we can get you those too, right?
[ girl
their contract with blacksteel ]
no subject
he hands the planter back and picks up the two knife sets, and then wanders back to return them. brb. ]
no subject
he tries to hold thorns back but his hands are full of planter. ]
I thought one was for the kitchen? Thorns?
[ WAS HE JUST LIED TO? ]
no subject
Let's go. Is there anything else we should look at?
[ nene is at the food court at this exact moment... ]
