[Oh no. Oh no, what a friendly response. Now Tuuri feels especially bad for lying.]

Yes of course!!! I don't think there are any plans for it to come out in English subtitles though

And also you can't buy DVDs of it that work in America or else I would just translate it for you

[What, no, this is getting out of hand.]

Well I would if I had time but I'm really busy, sorry :(

Anyway how are things going

[fiddlestick]

[That sure was three very different excuses made up at once.]

Really? I'm sure we could just find a stream of it if you find the time...

They're going fine! I just finished some homework. You?

[skald]

Hahaha probably

[Shit. Modern technology is the worst! Tuuri stares at her phone for a few minutes, trying to think of how she can possibly salvage it, before typing]

Oh me too! Sorry for the delay just homework haha

Super busy

For the rest of the semester

School is the worst

[fiddlestick]

[Tuuri you don't even have a declared major how are you this busy? Elliot definitely thinks something up, since it sounds like she's trying to AVOID him. Which, of course, he'll assume what he always does: that he's the worst and did something]

Tuuri, you're not mad at me for something are you...?

[skald]

What?? No!!! Of course not!!

I would really love to watch the movie with you!! I'm sorry

[This is the worst thing that ever happened to her.]

I'm going to call my brother and ask him to upload the movie for me and then we can watch it!!

[fiddlestick]

Really?
But didn't you just say you were busy...?

[skald]

I'm going to make time!!!

That's how seriously I take this!

But you'll have to wait about a week or so is that okay [A week is probably enough time to make a movie, right?]

[fiddlestick]

A week to upload a movie? Wow, he should look into getting a better internet provider...

[What is he still on AOL?]

But okay! If you're sure. We can make it a movie night? It'd be fun. I've never seen a Finnish movie before!

[skald]

Yes we live in the middle of the woods, it sucks

[THIS PART IS NOT ACTUALLY A LIE, FOR ONCE]

I mean he has to go out and buy the movie and then upload it our internet is not actually that bad

I would love to make a movie night with you [kill her now.]

[fiddlestick]

Oh okay.

Great! I'll get popcorn! What kind of snacks and drinks do you like?

Should we invite the other roommates?

[skald]

Yes, definitely invite the others

[KILL HER NOW]

Popcorn is great!!

Oh but I'm allergic to peanuts so no peanuts please

[unless....... she could get out of this by claiming cross contamination? something to keep in mind if Lalli doesn't help her finish the movie in time.]

[fiddlestick]

Haha, I know!
There won't be a single peanut, promise!

But okay I'll ask them!
Thanks Tuuri! This will be so much fun!

[skald]

Yeah this is going to be great!!! So excited to share my culture

[SOMEONE BUY HER SOME PEANUTS]

[fiddlestick]

I'm excited to learn about your culture!
And okay! I sent messages to the roommates!

[skald]

Haha great! I'm looking forward to it!

[she's frantically texting her entire contact list.]

[fiddlestick]

[A couple hours later:]

Hey Tuuri! Akira had a great idea!
He said we should make Finnish food for dinner that night!

So is there any dishes you'd really like?
I can't promise it'll be great, but I'll try my best!

[skald]

Oh no that's so sweet

[Oh NO they just get MORE HELPFUL AND SHE JUST FEELS EVEN WORSE.]

Um most of our food is kind of... weird if you're not used to it? I still have some candy that I can bring if you want

[fiddlestick]

Haha, don't worry! I'm from NYC, so no way it could be any stranger than the stuff you find there. And it's not like Japanese doesn't have some of its odd dishes too, so I'm sure the others will be fine!

[Okay Ryoji grew up in America but whatever dude will clearly eat whatever from the amount of different restaurants he eats out at]

I wouldn't say no to candy though!

[skald]

You would think so but tar is a very popular flavor in my country. I already know Ryoji hates it

[She can't even take the sort of satisfaction that she'd normally get out of setting someone up for the salmiakki prank, she's too stressed out about writing and directing a fake movie.]

But we also do a lot of smoked or fried fish?

[fiddlestick]

Tar? As in what they put on roads tar or something else...?

[Poor Tuuri. This is why honesty is the best policy]

Oh! I could do fish!

[skald]

Wood tar, not coal tar! Like the stuff they used to use on boats. [Better???] I'll make sure to save some tar-flavored candy for you.

(It's probably better to go with fish)

[fiddlestick]

Oh, okay! That sounds better... [He thinks?? he knows nothing about boats he a city boy] Okay, I'll try some. Thank you.

[You wouldn't be thanking her if you knew the truth Elliot]

Fish, okay! I'll look up some Finnish fish dishes then!

[skald]

Great! I'll bring that and some other fun candies for you to try.

[Fun for Tuuri, anyway.]

Try making muikku! I don't know what it's called in English but it's a little fish that you fry up in butter!

[fiddlestick]

Okay!

Muikku huh? Anything fried up with butter is always good! I'll put it on the list!
