[ 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.

[Just a long smile in response.

As if digging a knife in deeper to a fresh stab wound.

She is clearly pushing this on purpose, now.]

You don't have to be smug about it!

[ NOT LOOKING AT YOU SULKING NOW. ]

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Oh, come on now.

It's not as if you wouldn't have fun at my expensive given the opportunity.

[Not like she's going to give Marina the chance for that anytime soon, right? ...right?

...

Oh look at that date.]

I'll grant you that, and now I won't have to be shy about doing so.

[ Heh. Heh. Heh. ]

[...blink.]

Somehow, you hardly strike me as the "shy" type, Marina.

We're friends, so maybe - maybe - I would've been a little subtle about having fun at your expense.

[Slower. Blink.]

Maybe.

[What is this sudden uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach.]

[dragon_blossom]

I'm not a terrible person after all.

[ What's that look Lily huh huh? ]

[alilyinthemoonslight]

[That smile twitches and she laughs stiffly.

It's not like your plans are going to make a public spectacle of yourself or anything. Just walk by and drop it off, what could go wrong.]

Ha, no. I guess not...

[ BLOOD IN THE WATER. ]

Just a bit of a tease. All in good fun.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Right, well...

[Her eyes dart around, seeking a clock. Holy crap, she'd been at this awhile. She taps a pen, and looks at the camera a bit nervously now.]

...anyway, I have something I need to. Ah. Work on.

[What draft was she on now? Three? Four? Or had she lost count already?]

Good luck with the sword thing, at any rate.

[dragon_blossom]

Go work on your work. Good luck with that~

[ Yes there's a tilde you can practically hear the tilde. ]

And thanks.

[Her smile at this point is completely fake, and she just sort of... nods stiffly before shutting off her camera.

Whew.

Nailed that one.

Totally.

Maybe you are getting better at this, Lily.

...

Ahahahahahahhahahaha.]
