[ 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.

...good, good, that's a little too much responsibility for me but if I can share it with bubblegum?

I think I'll get by.

I also want to live to continue ripping on Detergent.

not that I watch anime

[dragon_blossom]

Not that you do at all, no, of course.

[ How is someone this bad at pretending not to do something? ]

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Never. Never ever.

[it sets a new standard in badness]

[dragon_blossom]

Just mocking it of course.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

only mocking. ever

[dragon_blossom]

...you need to work on your lying Jasmine.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

I really fucking do don't I?

[dragon_blossom]

It's almost embarrassing.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Welcome to being my friend

...

You um. Are my friend, right?

[dragon_blossom]

I'd be surprised if you thought otherwise.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

... Heh. Thanks, Marina. I guess I'm still trying to get used to some of this.

[dragon_blossom]

If that's the case I'll have to get you used to it.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

I think you're off to a good start, then.

[dragon_blossom]

Obviously. I'm a wonderful human being, after all.

[they might go on forever...]

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Not as wonderful as me.

Marina likes the sound of her own voice

[dragon_blossom]

A challenger huh?

[let's just say they continued on like this for a while?]

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Or maybe you finally met an equal.

Far too long.

[dragon_blossom]

A mighty presumptuous claim.

Jasmine just falls asleep after this one

[jasminebloominginshadow]

And yet I'm confident in it.
