[ Marina's sitting on her bed, laptop on her crossed legs, making the video a little wobbly. The wall behind her has some popular band poster or another - she rotates the spot above her bed fairly often - and she looks relaxed. More than she usually does when Numbers stuff is involved, at least.

She drums her fingers on the laptop. ]

Anyone here have a sword?

[ Very serious about this. ]

Other me had a sword, and Anais has a sword here, and other her had a sword back there. I figure I can get an echopulsething if I like, grab a real sword? Or learn how to use it? I'm not just crazy thinking that, right?

[ Actually looking for Echoes is new for her too. ]

So, I guess what I'm saying is, if anyone would like to help? Um, promise I won't, like, get myself hurt either, okay? Thanks. You're great.

At least you guys with swords.

[ She totally can be, but she just smiles oh so innocently. ]

You and Jasmine are pretty cool in my book, y'know.

[And this look says she doesn't buy that innocence. Still, she quickly looks a bit flattered too.]

...thank you. And not just for my sake. It's good to see Jasmine getting to know people, too.

[ See Marina knows how to do this friend thing. ]

She just needs people to wanna, you know, get to know her too a little.

[Lily's expression visibly softens, and she leans back a bit.]

Yes, and it may sound silly, but I'm kind of thankful to everyone who has.

Hey, it's not like I'd do it just to like... help her out. I just wanna be her friend, so...

Yeah.

[ Suddenly looking off to the side? ]

Yes, and friends are something that...

[Notices that.]

...everything okay?

I feel really god damn corny talking about friendship like this, you know. Need to go gossip about someone to make up for it I swear.

[ UGH magical girl stuff. ]

[She laughs.]

Oh, come on now. It's not all that bad, is it? Friends are important. I've realized that a lot more since coming on here, and actually... meeting people I'd call actual friends.

There's friends, and then there's... talking about it and being all mushy about it.

[Her smile becomes a decided smirk.]

Nothing wrong with being mushy. Maybe you're just growing as a person.

Not how I thought I'd grow.

[ She's supposed to be a bad ass bitch or at least not in her siblings' shadows - not that she talks about that ever. ]

I could do with some other growth.

I'm just saying, there's nothing wrong with showing care for other people.

No, there isn't, but damn, I could be a little cooler about it.

Well, I think it's cool.

[So says the last person in the world to judge "cool."]

Lily, I'm sorry, but this is you after all.

[Frown.]

See, I told you it would be easy to find ways of insulting me.

S-sorry. I'm, um, flattered that you... think me being caring is cool...

[Smile again!]

It is. I'm sure Jasmine appreciates it, too. Being nice is nothing to be ashamed of.

I just... I don't know.

Being nice makes me feel good, so I guess you're right.

One should go with what makes them feel good, I think. So it seems like you're on the right track.

The Lifetime movie lame feelgood track. At this rate I'm gonna be running around looking for little old ladies to help.

I wouldn't begrudge you this.

Listen, helping little old ladies is one thing, hunting them down is another.

Well, if it feels like the right thing to do...

[Lily is clearly having too much fun with this. Like, visibly.]

It feels like the weird thing to do.

[ Stop Lily her distress over being nice isn't funny. ]
