[007] video;

[fayzedandconfused]

[ The video starts off jittery, as per the usual with Breeze, because she's holding her comm up as she jogs home. She looks casual and at ease with herself, and her tone of voice is casual, as well. Maybe deceptively casual. ]

Hey, so is Valentine's Day a thing where you're from? What kinds of stuff do you do?

[ The feed jumps, and Breeze is sitting on the front steps of her house, sipping at a water bottle and looking more pensive than she had been seconds before. This second clip is locked from Sophie Foster. ]

Also, like, if you had something big that you should probably tell someone, and it might come up eventually on its own, but it might not, would you tell them? Or would you just keep it to yourself? 'Cause if you told them, they might feel weird around you, and it might not ever come up anyway.

Oh.

[Right. That would be a big deal...]

You're from different worlds, right?

[fayzedandconfused]

Yeah. So what?

[helladoomed]

Just thinking out loud.

[Chloe was quiet for a minute, taking a drag of her cigarette.]

I don't really know her, but she seemed nice when I talked to her. Like...do you think she'll care?

[fayzedandconfused]

No. I'm just worried that, like, she's going to get older and I won't. You know how people Port out and then come back and they've lived through new stuff?

[helladoomed]

[Oh that was a good point.]

Hm. Maybe she won't, though. I mean, some people never get ported out, look at us.

[Admittedly it was a good thing they didn't, but still.]

And I mean...you are getting older here, right?

[Chloe was at the point where it was hard to tell if she was aging, which was a thought she had from time to time, but Breeze certainly wasn't.]

[fayzedandconfused]

I don't know. Am I?

[helladoomed]

Man, don't look at me. You get any taller? Bigger boobs? Other various life-changing bodily shifts?

[Chloe is nothing if not direct.]

[fayzedandconfused]

No. Well, maybe I got a little taller.

[helladoomed]

Then you're still getting older.

So even if she hops home, you'll catch up to her eventually.

[fayzedandconfused]

[ She's not so sure about that, but she shrugs. ]

Yeah, guess so.

[helladoomed]

Hm. And you're sure she doesn't already know?

[She was pretty sure Breeze had said it on the network before.]

I mean you've talked about it openly before right?

[fayzedandconfused]

Yeah, a few times, but she'd have to go back and stalk me on the network and she wouldn't do that.

[helladoomed]

Kid, everybody does that.

[fayzedandconfused]

What? No they don't.

[helladoomed]

You've never gone back and looked at people's old posts on here to see what they're like? Or just to be nosey?
