What would you have done if you hadn't measured with the packet?

Suppose you used a glass or plastic cup to measure with.

[goodgames]

well, it says to add up to 3/4 cup..... so i would have filled three fourths of a cup to put in the bowl.

[freshprints]

And then what would you have put in the bowl?

[goodgames]

the 3/4 full cup.

[freshprints]

The water and the cup containing it both. That's what you would have put into the bowl?

[goodgames]

that's what it says. add up to 3/4 cup.

[freshprints]

...

Nanami-san, you're the sort of person who follows instructions precisely to the letter, aren't you.

[goodgames]

hmmm.... yup, i guess you could say that. even when i get a new game, i memorize the manual booklet or introductory content before i start to play. aren't you supposed to follow the rules when you try to do something for the first time?

[freshprints]

I understand.

[understand her LACK OF COMMON SENSE, maybe]

You don't include the measuring device in the bowl. You only use it to measure the proper quantity of water, so as to put the correct amount into the bowl.

[goodgames]

[...]

oh..... so that's why it's called a measuring cup. it's a cup that only serves the purpose of measuring, huh... okay, i get it.



i think.

[freshprints]

You think?

[goodgames]

i still don't know why it exploded....

[freshprints]

What did you do once you put it in the microwave?

[goodgames]

checked that the power level was HIGH, input 1:15 for cooking time, and pressed START/ENTER. and then i fell asleep.

when i woke up... it was already over.

[freshprints]

You fell asleep in the 75 seconds your oatmeal spent cooking?

[goodgames]

uh-huh.

i conserve energy when i can.

[freshprints]

"In the middle of preparing food" isn't a responsible time to conserve energy, Nanami-san. It's a time when it's important to stay alert and vigilant.

As you've discovered for yourself, firsthand.

[goodgames]

so it's like that... i see.

doing everything myself is even harder than i thought.

[freshprints]

It's not easy, but sometimes that's just how it is.

...Someone else took care of that for you, I assume. Before.

[goodgames]

yeah. i guess.... i've never lived on my own before. so there's a lot of things i don't know much about.

[freshprints]

And I assume the Future Foundation takes care of things like that for you now, in the present day? It's that type of organization, is what I mean.

[goodgames]

[Errrrr...]

yeah... they've taken care of all my needs up till now. before that, it's like video games were my whole life..... so i missed out on a lot of "rl" experience.

[freshprints]

...

Have you found people to talk to about video games, here? There are plenty. You could make a friend with a shared interest, and gain experiences that way.

[goodgames]

yeah!! you were right, a lot of people invited me to play with them. some even took me to the arcade! to think there'd be so many people willing to game with me in a whole different world...!

[freshprints]

It's the sort of thing people are interested in, I suppose.

Maybe next time you can invite them to eat afterward, and circumvent the need to make oatmeal entirely.
