No. Not anymore. It uh...it felt like I was overloading on everything going on. All the stress from that, from trying to keep up appearances because my mom was a congresswoman. Who, by the way? Signed the bill that put the DUP into action a few months before this.

[ That's probably the very definition of Irony. Or Bullshit. ]

It was just the one headache.

Stress made you do it?

What happened to your mom?

Re: Audio

[he_who_dwells]

Stress activated the conduit abilities I didn't know I had. And mom...I don't know. I haven't spoken to her since. I haven't really...wanted to.

[There's a pause, because what she asks next is an awkward question.]

Do you think she'd have signed that bill if she'd known you were a Conduit?

Re: Audio

[he_who_dwells]

That...I don't know.

I'm not mad at her for signing it originally. She had no way of knowing what I was going to become.

I'm mad at how quickly she handed me over. I don't know if she was doing it to save face or what. I'm hoping not.

[Jane doesn't quite know how to respond to that. His own mother handed him over?]

I'm...sorry, Eugene. I didn't know.

Re: Audio

[he_who_dwells]

Okay. So....this? Got kinda depressing. And I'd like to do something happy for a while. Where are you? I'd like to do something with you.

Re: Audio

[plain_jane]

I'm in my room. Is the next question going to be "what are you wearing"?

Re: Audio

[he_who_dwells]

[ And Eugene chuckles some. He's smiling. It's evident in his tone. ]

Not this time. It's more do you mind if I come over?

Re: Audio

[plain_jane]

I don't mind if you don't mind.

Re: Audio

[he_who_dwells]

Not to sound completely sappy or whatever, but I will never have a problem with spending time with you.

Audio

[plain_jane]

...That was totally sappy. Don't stop.

Re: Audio

[he_who_dwells]

Just warn me if I overdo it, okay?

Re: Audio

[plain_jane]

Oh, absolutely.

What were we talking about?

Re: Audio

[he_who_dwells]

Me being overly sappy.

Re: Audio

[plain_jane]

Well, yes. You're overly sappy, but you're my sap.

Before that, though.

Re: Audio

[he_who_dwells]

Me coming over. I'm literally going to fly to your yurt. Because.

Re: Audio

[plain_jane]

Because Red Bull gives you wings, or because you're trying to impress me?

switching to video:

[he_who_dwells]

[ Eugene says nothing. Just kind of points the TC to see over his shoulder, sort of like a selfie is about to go really wrong and all Jane sees is his right eye. Which, btw, sorta glows blue for a moment and a pair of pixelated hardlight wings appear behind Eugene. ]


I meant literally fly.

[ A tentative smirk. Is this okay? ]
