[A shitty-looking teenager appears on-screen, wearing sunglasses despite the obvious lack of sun in his cabin, dressed in a white tracksuit rather than the standard-issue uniform, smoking a cigarette like he's not even on a space station with maybe limited oxygen supply. He gestures at the camera as if he's already mid-conversation with the audience, amicable and Balkan, just like his accent:]

You miss some shit from back home, right? Whatever you had before whoever-the-fuck ripped it off you. Or, like, maybe some shit you didn't even have before, but you want it now, anyway. What I'm saying is: What're you missing? If your genie or your fairy godmother or whatever came around, what would you ask for?

[aight]

Decent food.

[mitsubishis]

like a steak dinner?

[bu773rfly]

I'm not picky. Variety in general would be good. Something sweet.

[mitsubishis]

what's better: cakes or candy?

[bu773rfly]

Candy. Cake is fine, but it's heavy and overeating makes me feel sick.

[mitsubishis]

and you can't just carry cake around with you so then it's like

how do i get my fix

go all the fuck back to my room or some shit

nah

[bu773rfly]

Exactly. Candy is more efficient, pound for pound and package for package. And in terms of the price.

[mitsubishis]

smart

you got what they call a mind for business

[bu773rfly]

Time and money are limited quantities. Everyone adapts.

[mitsubishis]

and money don't even exist here

[bu773rfly]

Instead we have limited function on food generators.

[mitsubishis]

i'm eating twizzlers

[bu773rfly]

Funny.

[mitsubishis]

[Kavinsky switches to video, and he does indeed have a twizzler hanging out of the side of his mouth.]

You don't believe me, huh?

[bu773rfly]

Where did that come from?

[mitsubishis]

[Switching back to text, because it's much easier to eat and write than to eat and speak.]

did you want some?

[bu773rfly]

[....

Oh so that's the game.]

I'm more interested in where it came from.

[translation: yes]

[mitsubishis]
