... Sure. But a lot of it is too vague to really know what they're getting at.

[medeian]

Well, erased certainly doesn't sound great.

[camena]

[ hrm. ]

No it does not.

[medeian]

[pauses for a moment, before]

—Sorry. I'm probably stressing you out more.

[camena]

No, don't worry about it. It's like... It's not like I want to just ignore that part.

But maybe it means something less ominous than it sounds. Orrr maybe there's a way out. Something. I don't want to just resign myself to it like—like it's set in stone.

[medeian]

Yeah... That's true. There's no saying it's going to be the worst option.

[she still thinks it's going to be the worst option, but that's a personal problem, so. after a moment:]

Still - make sure to be careful, alright?

[camena]

Sure. One day at a time.

And as far as days go, the actual events of yesterday weren't that bad! [ sure the text was ominous but nothing bad physically happened! ]

[medeian]

You felt normal, then? Nothing missing?

[camena]

I mean, my phone is gone and I'm stuck with this one. And I had another radio on me, before.

But aside from that...

[medeian]

[nodding]

A few other people said the same thing.

[camena]

Some people came with pretty interesting stuff. Like a car or a piano.

[medeian]

Makes you wonder how they decided what each of us would get, huh?

[camena]

Maybe it's just something important to us?

[medeian]

[looks at the bottle she has sitting somewhere nearby, slightly amused]

Not that important.

[camena]

I would say "useful, then," but I'm really not sure how that girl is gonna do anything with a piano.

[medeian]

Stress relief?

[probably joking]

[camena]

With what we know, that... could actually be important.

[medeian]

Right. I mean, I wouldn't say no to some self care in this situation.

[camena]

God, yeah. Like a hot bath. And some real food—no offense to McDonald's.

[ some offense to mcdonald's ]

[medeian]

I'd pay way more than twenty bucks for either of those things right about now.

[there's a little hitch in her voice as she says that but she's moving past it it's cool]

You know what sounds great? Lasagna. Just out of the oven.

[camena]

[ a little. awkward pause because that's concerning. but it's fine. ]

Lasagna sounds great. Or like a casserole.

[ ... ]

Ugh, we should stop talking about food.

[medeian]

We should stop talking about food.

[but will she be able to stop thinking about it, questionable]

[camena]

[ yeah there's like an even longer pause because now alex is just sitting here thinking about food some more ]

[medeian]

[........]

I guess the meatballs aren't that bad.

[camena]

I think I'll get tired of them before I get tired of McDonald's... wide and varied menu...
