Well that's cool. Fortunately he has some money right now – yay summer jobs – so he can buy quite a few of the suggestions!

Itaruko is sure his father wouldn't mind if he bought lots of things for potential future profit.

The fact that he can read a bunch of extra-universal books back in his own universe is just a nice perk.

Permalink

Most of the books are not in any language that Itaruko can speak, but they can run a fairly advanced translator for his benefit. Would Martin like some donations? Felix reads fast and his brothers don't share his tastes, so there are a lot of books they are willing to donate.

Ooh, yes, he would like some donations.

Itaruko was planning on translating the first few pages of a few books as they appear to him, if that's a thing he can do with the translation effect, and maybe a bit more, and then they can probably work out a lot of the grammar and quite a lot of the vocabulary as necessary.

Probably better to run the advanced translator, though. There are almost certainly words that aren't obvious from context, or that don't translate as a one-to-one.

Donations issue!

They leave the translator running. As long it is returned the translator (but not the translations, they have to pay for the original books) are free.

And Itaruko: continues to be half naked! Well, in just boxers. So. Yeah, half-naked.

Permalink

It's not like Martin has changed clothing in this time, either.

Permalink

Fenris is honestly considering skinny-dipping in the lake outside, that should illustrates his thoughts on nudity.

The door opens again, and in walks: a naked male.

Wholly naked.

His eyes have an amber sclera, and his pupil seems to be small and slightly slitted. There is no visible iris.

Permalink

"Hi, newcomer!" Fenris says with unusual brightness. "Welcome to Milliways. This is an interdimensional bar that takes patrons from around the multiverse and is currently having a sleepwear themed day."

Permalink

"Um," he says, quite eloquently. Then he looks down. Then back up. Then down again.

And only now does he cover himself. Somewhat ineffectually. With his hands.

Permalink

Itaruko seems to have noticed the newcomer's eyes! He raises an eyebrow in response.

Permalink

"Here," Felix retrieves a pair of shorts from Bar and throws then at the new arrival.

Permalink

He catches them and stands there for a moment. Then puts them on.

"Um."

Permalink

"Perhaps a weird question, but are you a Rhune?"

Permalink

He looks at Itaruko with his amber eyes, blinks, and then says, "… Yes?" Then looks at him a bit more. "You're a Luna, right?"

Permalink

"Yup."

Permalink

"And the four of us are the mythical race know as humans."

Permalink

"… You look more like a Rhune with contact lenses, gotta say. Really good whole-eye contact lenses. Or something. Maybe a Luna-Rhune hybrid who got Luna eyes and who dyed their hair."

Permalink

… That was more an observation, not a compliment, but sure.

"Interdimensional bar?"

Permalink

"Apparently," says Martin. "Still pretty sure it's real, but like, no absolutely incontrovertible evidence."
