[Ivan strongly considers filtering this from Gregor, but he thinks the man can have input into his own party. If his input is the 'don't throw me a party' kind then Ivan can always ignore it. He's aware that his mother would be appalled at him for starting his planning so late, but Ivan's reasonably certain that he can still gather in one place all the essential ingredients: food, attractive women, alcohol, and Gregor. Still, he suspects that Gregor might want something more and what that something would be Ivan does not know.

So he turns to his journal, bringer of wisdom -- or at least other people's perspectives.]

What makes a party fun for you?

Me, I'm easy to please, I think. But some people are really sold on having tiny iced cakes that look like Earth, as an example.

[And for some people things that look like Earth are out of the question. Gregor might be more interested in that sort of difference than Ivan is. Actually...]

And if there's anything you do where you're from that you don't see done here, you might share that as well.

We certainly don't need to, but what if I learned that I'd been missing out on a whole category of party?

[deceases]

It doesn't exactly sound like such a life-ruining event to me. I mean, it's not like most parties are particularly interesting.

[ivanyouidiot]

Not life ruining, but parties are fun. And that's a thing I approve of having more of in my life.

[deceases]

I guess it must be fun for certain types then.

[ivanyouidiot]

You...don't enjoy parties?

[deceases]

I don't have any particular reason to. They usually just end up being loud and bothersome. [ well, aren't you just a ray of sunshine, natsuno. ]

[ivanyouidiot]

Loud, and the best way to meet girls, you mean.

[deceases]

.. Ah, so that's the real reason you go to parties?

[ivanyouidiot]

It's the most important reason.

[deceases]

Then that explains why I never go to them. That sort of thing doesn't interest me at all.

[ivanyouidiot]

Are you...

...Do you prefer men?

[It's plenty awkwardly asked.]

[deceases]

[ It's a good thing Natsuno is so apathic to everything, it makes it easier to answer this without it getting awkward.. ]

I just don't care about either.

[ivanyouidiot]

...I don't understand that at all.

[deceases]

Why not? I mean, I could say the same, I don't understand why people feel the need for romance at all either. It just seems like a pain to me.

[ivanyouidiot]

It's not...all about romance or anything.

I guess if you don't get it you don't get it.

[deceases]

If it's not about romance, then what is it supposed to be about? Spending time with girls would be the same as spending times with guys otherwise, right?

[ivanyouidiot]

[Is this guy for real?]

Sex.

[deceases]

[ the woes of being both asexual and aromantic.. ]

.. Oh, I should've figured. So people really are the same no matter where you go. You'd even want that sort of thing here?

[ivanyouidiot]

Why would here make me not want that?

[deceases]

You might not even know for sure what the person you're doing it with actually is. There's plenty of weird things here.

[ivanyouidiot]

If they look close enough to human then it's fine.

[deceases]

You're not particularly picky, huh.

[ivanyouidiot]

Cultural origin is hardly the most important thing.

[deceases]

I guess it's just a complete difference in priorities between us in the end.

[ivanyouidiot]

Yeah, I suppose so.
