[Maria is...confused, and she kind of looks like it. She thinks that's the right word for this. Her thoughts and feelings are kind of muddled on a memory she received when a vermini attacked her on the 12th. She's been thinking about it to herself ever since then, and only now is she turning to the network.]

Okay, so, two things. One, I got a sweet bow! It's cool, guys, like...the design is perfect for me, but that's not the only awesome thing about it. Just yesterday, I forgot I left it in my room 'cause I was going to practice with it, and then it literally appeared in my hands. I thought it was a fluke or maybe my mind was playing tricks on me, but I tested that out. This bow? I can totally summon it from wherever it is. Distance doesn't even matter. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my quiver, but I'll take it.

[Despite her feelings on the memory, nothing can contain her happiness and excitement over this development. Still...it's not enough to dispel it completely.]

And number two...I got a memory, and I don't know how to...feel about it. I think it's something that explains why I have this bow.

[She runs a hand through her hair, troubled.]

So...this memory. Past me made a vow to the Greek goddess Artemis. I did some research, and that basically means I was a handmaiden to her. And the Oath came with some warnings. Taking it meant that she could only die in combat or if she fell in love. Does that sort of thing...I don't know, carry over? Do I have to follow that same Oath because I took it in a past life?

feel like it shouldn't carry over but i'm not exactly really in to these kind of things.

Don't blame you, it's kinda confusing, but I don't know how this whole reincarnation thing works. Especially when this oath says I'll die if I do fall in love, so it's kinda like do I take my chances or should I respect it until I know for sure it won't kill me?

yeah i probably wouldn't risk it if you can help it.

hope you don't have a boy/girl friend.

[...is that insensitive he can't tell.]

[Well, it makes her laugh, so it passes.]

Nah, I don't, which is probably a good thing. I don't even have a crush, so I think I'm safe for the time being!

for the purpose of this conversation that's good. hope that doesn't turn out to be an actual thing.

Well, if it does, then you'll get to see the headlines and know I did a bad thing. Teenage Girl Gets Transformed Into An Animal And Then Gets Shot.

that'll sell some papers.

hopefully they'll just go out of business. because your epic story doesn't appear. [smooth, pierce.]

[It's a good thing her parents are used to their daughter laughing spontaneously in her room.]

We'll just keep the epic saga that is my life to everyone else in this crazy story. I'm Maria, by the way! Nice to meet you!

pierce. nice to meet you too. [this is somehow working out ok for him.] maybe we can both wind up sidekicks or something on the sidelines of the crazy.

That'll be a breath of fresh air, though I'll admit that I'm weird enough on my own. :) We can do commentary on all the strangeness that's happening.

i am so down for that. i'm sure we could riff the hell out of all this.

We should totally get a third person in on this and do this MST3K style.

that would be perfect. maybe we should post an ad.

we'd have to make sure they were qualified tho

They have to take a test. Most sarcastic person gets the job.

I like it. Now to create a sarcasm test. The SATs don't have a section because they don't test the important shit.

SATs are stupid, and the pre-SATs are even stupider. How dare they not put in a sarcasm part of the test? Maybe they just assume that all teenagers will pass it with flying colors.

This is why our schools are failing. They just assume we're going to come out with the right skills? This shit is important.
