[ alex is exploring the gym... and trying to lift some very heavy weights. she's a twig. it's not working.

she looks a little bit embarrassed when she spots amelia nearby. ]

Um. Just checking corporeality and all. You know.

[saillune]

[She comes over to join her, looking curious.]

Oh... because of the message that said we're dead?

[camena]

Yeah.

Like, aren't ghosts not supposed to be able to interact with things this much?

[saillune]

[She nods.] That's right. They're astral beings with no physical bodies, so they wouldn't be able to do things like lift weights, unless they possessed somebody first.

[camena]

I can lift the lighter ones. And I'm pretty sure I'm not possessed right now.

week 1: monday

[camena]

[ let's look at the eiffelffe tower ]

Okay, this definitely doesn't belong here... [ not that amelia would? know??? ]

[saillune]

Huh? Why not!?

[She sounds a little concerned about this, because what's wrong with it, it looks like a perfectly good tower???]

[camena]

It's like a famous landmark. And I don't think we're actually in France, where it should be.

Is this place just pulling in pieces from around the world or something?

[saillune]

It's from your world!?

I haven't seen anything that looks it'd be from mine...

[camena]

Technically I've never been to the Eiffel Tower, so maybe it's a little different, somehow? But it looks like it.

Week 2, Tuesday

[saillune]

[Amelia's at the salon, looking over the many colours of nail polish thoughtfully. It's clear that her mind's drifting to something else when she speaks up, though.]

I guess these sudden changes in rules are going to be a pattern from now on, aren't they...

[camena]

[ alex is looking too! mostly because she's bored. it's fine. ]

Yeaaahhh, probably. But I dunno, these rules aren't as bad as last week's.

[saillune]

No way! Biting people is way more embarrassing than any secret!

[camena]

Why? If all it means is "hey, I think you're cool," then what's the big deal? Just bite someone on the arm or whatever.

[saillune]

I... I guess...

I just wish they could have asked for a more normal gesture of affection...

Week 3, Monday

[saillune]

[They're at the VR place! Amelia looks over to Alex excitedly as she enters.]

Alex! Have you seen these yet? These... virtual simulations!

[The way she says it kind of slowly and carefully definitely makes it sound like she just learned that term for the first time today.]

[camena]

I saw they're here, but I haven't played with them yet...!

Have you?

[saillune]

A little! They're really amazing! One of them let me see a place that looks just like home!

[camena]

That's cool. Like a—fake little recreation? Probably good for if you're feeling homesick, huh?

[saillune]

Yeah, a lot like that!

I'd been away from home for a while before all of this started, too, so it's really nice to be able to see it again...

week 4: monday

[camena]

[ pig time. here is what amelia gets. from 1:04:45 to 1:10:50... ]

[saillune]

... Whoa...

[that was a lot of creepy stuff! and unfortunately amelia's only experience with radio static is the erasure effect they get to see at executions, so wow, that sure is a connotation.]

W, was that a ghost? [????] Ghosts? [Plural?]

[camena]

[ teehees. anyway alex just feels bad throwing memories like this at anyone. ]

Sorry—yeah. Yeah, uhh. Ninety seven of them.

Ta-da.

[saillune]

I didn't know ghosts could do things like that...

A-and what happened to Jonas -- did he get possessed!?

[camena]

Neither did I. Or, like, that ghosts existed.

He was possessed for a while. A couple times. Um... He's fine now, though?
