[ This feels familiar. ]

Which does it seem like?

[camena]

[ It is familiar. ]

Doesn't really matter, I guess. [ anyway. ] Where'd you see the psp? Wonder if I can steal one...

[factoring]

[ That week of biting. ]

That direction? It was with the other toys.

[camena]

[ not that. ]

Show me. Unless you're, like, busy?

[factoring]

[ No? I think I had this exact same conversation then. ]

It's only a Tuesday.

[ She's not that busy when it's this early in the week. So she'll start walking that direction. ]

[camena]

[ alex's thoughts just kind of wall off and go murky. what if we didn't actually have any kind of mind-link conversation about how deeply familiar it is to know you don't matter to people?

so wow following! fun!!! ]

Right, yeah, tomorrow's gonna be the busy day.

[factoring]

[ Kyoko WILDLY prefers not to matter to people, but that's neither here nor there. Her thoughts are once again just hers.

She's walking up to the consoles, which she is personally happy not touching. ]

It'll at least be low key compared to last week's, if the pattern holds.

[camena]

[ i have learned 1 thing about kyoko. alex did not learn this thing. amazing. ]

Low key, but still busy. What do you think it'll be? Another sports day? [ no ]

[factoring]

If it's another sports day I'm going to walk out.

[camena]

What, you don't like getting teargassed?

[factoring]

I've decided I hate being bombed.

[camena]

[ shaking her head. ]

Too square to just get bombed on a Wednesday afternoon...

[factoring]

I'd take a sword fight over another bomb.

[camena]

It was a—never mind.

I just don't really feel like fighting anymore, honestly. I got enough of that on that excursion.

[factoring]

Hehe. [Anyway.]

That's fair. Hopefully fighting won't come up again any time soon. [I suppose it might be a snowball fight.]

[camena]

[ aw man, but i just had one of those? ]

Ohh, good guess. Or maybe a high-stakes gingerbread house contest?

[factoring]

I don't think I've ever baked before... That's all going to be Wenzhou.

[camena]

Yeah, we never really baked that much back home... There were these sugar cookies that they'd sell every winter and everyone liked them so much that making our own seemed kinda pointless.

Can Wenzhou bake?

[factoring]

But they were only in winter, right?

[That's a good question.]

I just assume that man can do everything.

[camena]

Yeah, but it's not like we wanted cookies that often anyway. They feel like a seasonal thing.

[ at the very least, baking was a seasonal thing, and they had an excuse not to bake, so it became a... never thing. ]

He seems like that type, huh?

[factoring]

Right? He seems like the ideal househusband kind of guy.

[camena]

Hmm, maybe? [ she had not really been thinking about it in terms of househusbands. ] I dunno, I don't think he'd stop working just to take care of the house.

[factoring]

I think househusband is a type of energy.

[camena]

What, no.

[factoring]

You don't think it can be a type of energy?
