[ When the feed comes to life, Hemali is seated on a couch, her legs drawn up and shoulders and neck hunched over. On the coffee table is a small bottle of nail polish, which she goes about applying with precision over her toe nails.

She doesn't glance at the camera right away, letting the silence linger until she's finished painting the nail the way she wants. Then she finally looks up and smiles, but it isn't one offered up in apology for making anyone wait, not that she believes she has anything to apologize for. ]

Isn't this all interesting? I've never seen a device like this or heard of one that could shuffle people from across the universe.

[ Her eyes light up at the thought, masking any concerns she has about the fact there's something with far greater power than she might ever have. ]

Nor have I heard about machines that could grant people power. What I find most strange having looked over this network, is that so many people would give up these powers if it meant leaving this place? I had always thought people preferred being special and having that kind of security. Does your power not provide that?

[ A contemplative pause. ]

Maybe I am a little excited to travel for once, personally.

[ Not completely, but who needs to know behind a calm affect is a woman who feels threatened by the Porter? She goes back to painting her nails, interested in hearing what these other imPorts have to say in response. ]

Travelling is overrated.

So is being special.

[Literally everything is overrated according to him though.]

[snoobs]

[ More texting. >:( ]

You must have gone to boring places if traveling doesn't excite you!

still text for now, srry gurl;

[neverdied]

[Texting is the best, it means you don't have to actually be social!]

Why does travelling excite people? Experiencing something new? What about once you've experienced it all?

no you're not :(

[snoobs]

[ Fine, be stubborn!! ]

Seeing new things, trying new foods, meeting new people... all of that bores you? [ She clicks her tongue. ] The world is so big. One would need a whole lifetime to see it all, I believe.

no, i'm not :3

[neverdied]

Several lifetimes, probably.

>:(

[snoobs]

Wouldn't that be nice?

>:3

[neverdied]

Maybe.

Might get boring.

[snoobs]

For someone with no imagination.

[neverdied]

[There is literally no way he can win this argument, even if he's talking from first hand experience.]

Yeah, I guess you're right. Sorry.

There's better places to go than America though.

[snoobs]

[ She refuses to lose. ]

Where would you recommend then?

[neverdied]

India?

[That might be a joke?!]

[snoobs]

[ Well, that gets an earnest laugh. ]

I've seen so much of India already!

[neverdied]

It's nice.

I guess America's your only other option then.

[snoobs]

Now that can't be it.

[neverdied]

Haven't you been told yet? It's the greatest country on the planet.

[Sarcasm is so hard to portray in text. GOOD.]

[snoobs]

I've heard that one before.

[ A smirk. ]

Do you know it well?

[neverdied]

Yeah. I live here. Just avoid talking to people and you'll do fine.

[Works for him! :D]

[snoobs]

That's hardly any fun.

[ DON'T BE LAME. ]

[neverdied]

[No u!]

Ok. But it works.

I'd say go to China. But. I don't think we can leave the country.

[snoobs]

[ She shakes her head. Living in isolation was never fun. ]

I wouldn't mind exploring this country, but seeing others would be nice eventually.

[ A beat. ]

Did we meet before?

[neverdied]

[Living in isolation is the only way to live. He'd become a hermit if he didn't rely on human meat so much.]

Yeah. In the coffee shop.

[snoobs]

[ Her face lights up. ]

Oh! Jack, isn't it?

[neverdied]

[Why does she seem so pleased about this?!]

Hi.

I never went back there. It was bad.

[snoobs]

It was. Their tables were sticky.

We should find another place for good coffee.

[neverdied]

[We...]

I don't really drink coffee.
