You try things. You take a look at what's happening around you, and what you think about it, and how you feel about it, and you learn from that.

If you try... I dunno, reading a book in the library and decide you like reading, there's nothing stopping you from reading your way through the whole library.

[pathopen]

[What he likes, what he doesn't like... it's pretty amazing he can have this experience at all, isn't it? After dying so quickly, he definitely didn't think he'd have this sort of chance.]

I see.

Do you know what you like?

[psynchronise]

Yeah. I’ve had time to figure out what I like.

[ life… time…. ]

Sure, you might be a limited given what we have here, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try it and see what you think. [ he nods at the drink. ] You can start with that, and go from there.

[pathopen]

It's a lot more than I was able to try when I was alive.

[He takes a small sip of the drink- oh fizzy? Is that normal for drinks?]

[psynchronise]

Looking on the bright side? Good start.

[pathopen]

I don't know what else to do.

Are all drinks sweet and fizzy like this?

[psynchronise]

Nah, not all of them. But ones from places like this normally are. Not a fan?

[pathopen]

[Considering it...]

I like it.

[psynchronise]

And there you go. You learned you like something.

[pathopen]

Thank you.

[psynchronise]

Just rinse and repeat that for the rest of your afterlife with different things and you’re well on your way to a well rounded personality!

[pathopen]

That's forever, right?

[psynchronise]

Yup.

[ in a weird tone, like he's trying to sound like a sensei: ]

The journey of learning never stops, young one. You are always discovering more about yourself. One day, you may prefer blondes. The next, you may prefer redheads. It is all growth and understanding.

[ i'm so tired mira ]

[pathopen]

[he's said the funniest thing imaginable ooc, but he nods quietly, like he is absorbing sage wisdom.

he doesn't know what shitposts are.]

[psynchronise]

[ i hope his love interests are literally and redhead and a blonde haired person. ]

But for the moment, you could always try another drink and see if you like it more or less than that one.

[pathopen]

[I don't remember what's in AAAAAAA but I think it's Pepsi products.

So he'll try the Mountain Dew and look slightly dubious about this color.]

It's safe to drink?

[psynchronise]

That's a debate for nutritionists, not me.

[ helpful. ]

One won't hurt you though. Give it a try.

[pathopen]

[He takes a sip.

It's also distinctly sweet, but a different sweet than the root beer.]

[psynchronise]

[ date just watches.

he does a thumbs up? a thumbs down? ]

[pathopen]

[Again:]

I think I like it.

[psynchronise]

More or less than the other one?

[pathopen]

... More?

[psynchronise]

[ ... ]

Sometimes you can like a few things, but you might think one of them is just better than the others.

[pathopen]

Oh.

I think I like it more.

[It's sweeter.]

[psynchronise]

And there you go. You learned something else.
