[Cain flicks a little wave in greeting, leaning back in his chair and pushing his goggles onto his forehead. he's wearing a Canadiens jersey, hockey night and all that. there's a bottle of red wine in the frame, about three-quarters full.]

Bon, bon, bonjour, Network. [unlike his usual greetings, it lacks a teasing edge. He doesn't look particularly excited.]

I hadn't had the opportunity to check in, between the nonsense last week and what happened to my workplace, but. Well. [he frowns somewhat, chewing on the inside of his mouth. his eyes briefly flash red - and are those numbers at the center?]

For those that know her, it appears that my sister Calista has lost her Echoes. [he shrugs, pouring himself a glass.] I must confess, I'm not entirely sure how to feel about it. As long as she's safe, I suppose that's what matters most, though it's hardly going to make things any easier for me. [he manages a wry laugh, bringing a hand up to his forehead.] Tabarnac, I knew that I was selfish, but honestly... [Cain's gonna need that glass of wine now. he picks it up and waves again to sign off, closing the video.]

Comments

[epimethean]

We could freelance. We could start our own company.

[It's 'we' now, Cain.]

[cava]

[... yeah, he'll humor this. he probably shouldn't, but here we are.]

Our own company doing what, exactly?

[epimethean]

Programming. Coding. Websites. People always need people to do their websites.

[cava]

I used to repay code debt to make ends meet. I'm well aware, trust me.

[epimethean]

Yes, well, unless Prometheus starts giving us things we can do from home, we might need to go back to that. Might as well give it a cool name and a logo and make it sort of official.

[cava]

It's an idea, certainly. I suppose if the situation stays this uncertain we have options.

[epimethean]

I'm going to get a head start. You're welcome to join me if you like.

[cava]

[... ughhhh what are his options here.]

I may just take you up on that.

[epimethean]

Great! I'll start getting things in order, just let me know if/when you want to jump on board.

[cava]

I'm certainly interested, if nothing else. You'll keep me updated?

[epimethean]

Yeah, of course.

[cava]

Marvelous.
