[Out of habit, her greeting starts with a sigh. Hey, for a long time the only person who called her was Sylens, and it really set a tone for phone conversations. Be glad it's just a sigh.]

What do you need?

[ in a 'oh aloy, you're so silly' tone ]

My mission to repay the Snake for bringing me back. I need two heads from people I'm not close to or like. Can't do anything else until I have them.

[Drawing back some.]

That can't be real. You're not thinking straight.

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

Everyone has to do it when they die outside a game.

[ a hum. ]

I guess you're probably right that I'm not thinking straight, though. Yuki and Jamil were freaking out pretty badly about it. But I feel fine! I'm not scared at all.

[ what's it called when you're emotionally fucked but also aware that you're emotionally fucked up?? ]

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

So that's why we weren't like...this. In that scenario.

At least you know this is what's happening?

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

I'd probably be really freaked out otherwise - Oh.

[ like she's realizing something only mildly concerning. ]

...Wow, it's going to be really bad when it goes away.

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

Oh, good. It does go back to normal?

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

[ a nod ]

When the mission has been fulfilled.

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

Or maybe we try some of your regular objectives.

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

You don't believe me.

[ beta you're suggesting murdering people as the alternative ]

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

It's just - drastic.

[Getting her phone out and pulling up Beta's profile.

...oh no this will be awkward.]

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

[ like she was expecting this: ]

You don't like affection. But you do like hunting. I bet there are people hiding in the forest.

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

Now that sounds like a familiar angle.

[Putting her phone down and. Reaching.

For.

Beta's hand.]

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

[ oh look now they're holding hands

unfortunately, nothing happens but she IS smiling at Aloy like she made her day 50% better ]

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

Think we're good right here, for a little while.

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

I guess a break would be okay. We need to save our energy anyway.

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

Maybe, when things calm down, you can show me that old holo of yours.

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

I'd like that. I enjoy spending time with you.

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

I’m. . .sorry if I haven’t made enough time for you.

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

[ shaking her head ]

You have important stuff to get done. I understand.

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

Family is important too. We’ll just have to make more time.

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

[ it really is a shame all this does nothing for her hangover, hearing Aloy call her family is the greatest??? ]

At least we have time here. We could use it doing something together, like getting a couple heads.

[ sorry Aloy ]

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

[And, moment broken as Aloy's voice just.]

Yeah, no.

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

Are you not doing the game?

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

I am, but my list doesn't call for any heads.

The closest I still need to get is an eye.

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

Do you want one of mine?
