w0, saturday 1.0

[agleam]

[here we are in congratulations... he's kind of looking around the interior rather than eating right this second. specifically at the elvis pictures, kind of squinting.]

...Is this just the same guy?

[bxkautx]

Yeah, it's uh. He's famous. But this is still insane.

[agleam]

It does seem pretty creepy.

[looks away from the elvis wall]

Anyways... What're you thinking, after all that?

[bxkautx]

We got as many answers as we could reasonably expect at this point. Hopefully knowing how this works will keep everyone calm, but. You know. I doubt it.

[agleam]

[pausing for a moment]

I mean... I don't think it's a bad thing to not be calm after hearing all that. You know?

[bxkautx]

I can imagine people are upset about the chance of losing things they thought were theirs, sure.

[agleam]

Are you... not upset?

[bxkautx]

I am. It's annoying.

[agleam]

The situation is annoying, or being upset about it is annoying...?

[bxkautx]

[ this question makes her like. blink for a second like she needs to refocus. ]

... Both...?

[agleam]

...Did I say something weird?

[bxkautx]

Nah.

Anyway, you said you've been through this twice before right? So it shouldn't be that bad.

[agleam]

Uh. No, it's definitely going to be pretty bad. Why wouldn't it...?

[bxkautx]

Because you know what's going to happen...?

[agleam]

Knowing something's going to happen doesn't make it okay, though.

[bxkautx]

It lets you brace yourself for it.

[agleam]

I guess, yeah, but... Some things hurt even if you're not surprised by them. And I don't want to be the kind of person who gets numb or doesn't care when people get hurt or worse.

[bxkautx]

Well, good luck. You're on round three of the universe trying to numb you.

[agleam]

Yeah, I'm aware. Thank you.

[bxkautx]

And yet you persist. [ why do you say it like that. ]

[agleam]

Is there a problem with that?

[bxkautx]

No, it's cute.

[agleam]

Oh! Uh - that feels possibly a bit condescending, but I'll take it over a no, sure.

[bxkautx]

[ she is being so condescending... also sincere? a fun mix. ]

Honestly, I imagine if one or two games didn't knock the optimism out of you, a third won't do the trick either.

[agleam]

[thinks about it for a moment]

I guess you could call it optimism, yeah.
