[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?

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?

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

No, I don't.

Someone's. But not you.

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

[ she hums but doesn't argue it, watching the flowers sway.

with her fear and insecurity repressed, now seems a good a time as any-- ]

I'm thinking of changing my name.

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

[She supposes next Beta will suggest they get Beta a head and Aloy takes an eye from it, and that way -

Wait.]

Your name?

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

[ a nod. ]

Beta isn't a name. It's a designation, the second letter of the Greek alphabet. I'm "Beta" because Elizabet was "Alpha". Because I was an unfinished version of her. It's not...me.

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

[Curiously:]

So who are...you?

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

I'm still deciding. I've been making a list, and when one feels right, I'll choose it. I'm taking suggestions too.

Re: day 78, after game start

[despitethenora]

. . .Maybe Galavin?

Re: day 78, after game start

[nobetawedielike]

...Galavin?

[ look she's not denying it she's just WONDERING ]
