[ It's going to be the middle of the night when this video pops up on the network here. There's a redhead in bed, looking exhausted and like she might have been crying like she probably needs some serious sleep as she rubs a hand over her face, fingers brushing through her long red hair in some attempt to get it out of her face. The room's a little dark but it's not impossible to see her thanks to a night light being on nearby. ]

Hi...

[ So not awkward. ]

I know people leave-- get ported out, whatever you want to call, all the time.

[ There's a pause as she rests her chin in her palm and glances off to the side, thinking. ]

It kinda sucks, right? But I mean... if they go back to where they're from, then it's a good thing, right?

[ She looks back to the camera, lips pursed, trying to smile a little. ]

Are you ever happy or I guess... glad when someone goes back and isn't here anymore? I don't really mean someone you hate or whatever but... someone you're close to. It's good they go back, right?

[ She's sounding as though she needs reassurance on that and smiles a little again before she decides to shut this off. ]

I was told to sort of look at this place like a vacation of sorts. Just... a really really long one possibly.

I feel like that's an accurate way to look at it. Maybe try to do things that you weren't able to back home, I guess like you would on a vacation.

[jeaniegrey]

Is that what you do while here?

[There's a pause as she compares.]

Well, compared to what I was doing back home at the exact moment, yes. Overall...I seem to be repeating parts, just in different ways.

Some of it is new. I should follow my own advice.
