menial | 2 ~ in truth, this sort of silly question holds no real significance for me [audio/action]

['End of the month. Check. Strange things appearing for no reason. Check. This would be, if I had the choice, the part where I run and hide from the experiment. However, the content that appeared is just bizarre.']

"A fart will follow you into the car, ruining your date."

This sounds like one of those bad Western comedies. You know, the ones with lazy slacker heroes who're forced into wacky adventures...

['Wait, if I had to honestly describe my own life... As they say at home, the eye wax laughing at the snot*.'

And so he decides to leave it at that.]

[Today, then, Kyon will be found wandering around in the Welcome Center and the plaza, annoyed, because, quite according to the horoscope, his keys are missing.

'This does not bode well. Well, I guess "against all odds, you will accomplish a basic task" isn't ominous so much as simply insulting. But "you will have a chance encounter with romance today so take a bath, for God's sake"... That one could be problematic. In all kinds of ways.']

Probably the unexpected, just saying. [Watch as Brendan tries and fails to be profound.]

I've always found that saying to be rather worthless in practice.

Eh, I wouldn't know myself! Never really tried it, to be honest.

It's difficult. Or impossible, depending on how you look at it.

Proooobably the latter, since it kinda stops being the unexpected once you start expecting it.

... Still, the saying's pretty cool!

['How can a saying be cool, exactly? Isn't a saying's essence that it's repeated by old and decidedly uncool people? Who knows.']

Probably.

Hmph, pretty crappy advice if it's impossible to follow.

Eh, [All the shrugging.] I guess it's supposed to make you think outside the box or however that's supposed to work.

['I feel like my whole life is outside the box. I'd rather get back in the box.']

Yeah, I guess so.

... Well, that's a little tough too, really.

Frankly, I don't see what's wrong with the box.

I don't know; it's supposed to be uncreative? Or maybe just boring?

No one's ever even described the box, though. Who knows if it's worth being in or not?

Well, the box is where everyone else normally thinks, right? It makes sense it'd be cooler outside of it.

I'm satisfied with the box, thanks. It protects me from the elements.

Hey now, where's your sense of adventure?

Long since satisfied.

You don't really sound like it.

What makes you say that?

Eh, I guess you don't sound like the adventurous type?

And yet sometimes such things happen anyway.

You mean adventure finds you?

Essentially, yes.

... Well, I guess that sounds pretty rough?

It is what it is.

... Which is?
