Just Virgo. All of us are weary of asking them given what happened with the maneater.

But the way, did you receive anything last week? Around Wednesday or Thursday?

[evocationary]

Like... what. A letter? Or.

[shaft]

A house?

Virgo set me up with special service, it sent something to either you, Yuri or Bradley.

[evocationary]

It didn't go to me, no, and I didn't hear anything from Yuri, but he doesn't tell me everything. Maybe Brad got it. You'd think they would've... like, mentioned it.

Do you know what it was supposed to do?

[shaft]

Not a clue. It was just symbols.

In any case, Virgo looked after us and I'm very tempted to see if we can just dig a tunnel to connect the two areas at this point.

[evocationary]

You're like the third person to suggest digging a tunnel. Why are you all so obsessed with holes.

[shaft]

Holes have come through for me in the past, when the going was rough.

[evocationary]

[nsnnnjdkfsjj she bursts into giggles]

[shaft]

[ remains suspiciously stoic

gazing out into the distance ]

[evocationary]

[trying not to laugh:] You would've fit in on the station, you know. Holes ended up being a solution there, too.

[shaft]

I don't know, I'm a lot more bark than bite.

[ ha ha

he hovers closer ]

By the way, are you dating Cloud and Jason now?

[evocationary]

[fcKIN SPLUTTERS OK]

-- How is that any of your business?!

[shaft]

[ just smiles peacefully ]

Is that a normal thing for friends to talk about? Who's hot... who their latest boyfriend is...

[evocationary]

[she just looks at him like :T

and then:] Yep. We're dating. You know, the ball that happened? When Cloud was in a dress? Me and Jason took him back to my room and --

[stop her or she's going to describe fucking in explicit detail]

[shaft]

[ HELP STICKS HIS HANDS THROUGH HER FACE ]

Just a yes or no would suffice!

[evocationary]

You started it, I'll end it! [she says, ear flicking. part of ear. she's missing part of it.]

Anyway. Yes.

[shaft]

I didn't take you as someone so shy, Lup.

But I'm happy for you!

[evocationary]

Thanks, I guess. [she says, amused.] They've done a good job of sticking with me.

[shaft]

They're good guys.

[ ... ]

I guess.

[evocationary]

[HFFT]

You guess?

[shaft]

Jason is pretty irritating, but his intentions are good.

... Cloud seems like the type to invite misfortune.

[evocationary]

You're not wrong. Those are accurate descriptions of both of them. [and yet she loves them anyway.]

[shaft]

... Your face is looking all sappy.

[evocationary]

It is not. You're imagining things.

[shaft]

It's very cute.
