You've never seen it before? [Hmm. That seems... not true, really, but his tone is gentle. He'll take over the controls anyway, fiddling with them until the room shifts--this time, to a warm, cozy antique shop.]
ALSO HELLO? Why is every single simulation from someone else he sees 100% more interesting than his own?! He's racing off!! At a stilted pace. Like he thinks his ass is really in this shop.
He's free to poke around! It's mostly antiques (at least, 2030's idea of antiques), but there's a very modern, futuristic workspace at the desk. Luke seems perfectly content to him poke around at all the cameras, lamps, TVs, whatever catches his interest.]
[EXCITED BY ALL THESE LIL TRINKETS AND BAUBLES... He probably looks through something glass from the opposite side and it distorts his face like those crunchy cat videos with the warbly filters.]
This room is incredible. There is so much we could utilize something like this for.
[NOOO NOT THE GLASS I'M SO MAD THAT YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD TOMORROW :BEEGUN:]
It's my shop, actually! Time's Antiquities. [He glances around at the objects he's manifested, putting his hands in his pockets.] I buy and sell antiques, or I repair them, things like that.
He straightens up with piqued interest. HELLO?] Then we are... cousins in jobs, I guess. [Antique collector, seller, and repairer, and...... magical tech inventor.]

Yeah, I did. [...] What was it?
no subject
I'm... not... [............um.] You... said the mechanisms of this room pull from... the mind? Memory?
[oh boy]
no subject
As far as I know. [...] It's possible it could've been a glitch, though I haven't seen any before now.
no subject
It was a strange glitch...
[This is fine. He waits a few moments more, but nothing else happens. Okay, well.]
Perhaps... it's your turn then.

He's looking around at EVERYTHING.]

It's pretty realistic, right?

[At home, he means.]
Is this... a place you work?

It's a nice shop.

[Viktor you're never gonna believe this]
no subject
Yes. I am. [There's some pride........but some confusion too.] Why?
[What the heck is he not going to believe, hello.]
no subject
That's pretty cool! I tinker with things in my spare time. Gadgets and stuff--though, usually I just upgrade things I bought.
[This is such a massive understatement but don't worry about it]
