Objectively, they could do with a little work.

[forcevisions]

[ an interesting tack. dany had other thoughts. but rey is going to try to latch onto the casual conversation because apparently it's fine ? ?? sure let's do this ]

What makes you say that?

[rehandle]

[ hm. didn't factor the existence of the dick pics into rey's likelihood to be shy about dick pics.

well, he made his own bed. ]

They look like what I imagine would happen if someone were trying to sell a candlestick on eBay.

Perfunctory.

[forcevisions]

And you're an expert?

[ this was meant to be bratty but now that it's out in the universe, rey has Regrets. gonna just brush right past all implications therein. ]

How else are they supposed to look?

[ she thought it was fine. the goal was accomplished (if the goal is 'show other person what you are packing'). ]

[rehandle]

[ there's an opportunity to reclaim the game there, but it's also an opportunity to say the wrong thing in the pursuit of escalation and ruin his own life, so instead he'll just ignore the question altogether and move on to the follow up ]

A little je ne sais quoi goes a long way.

[forcevisions]

I think your implant's glitching.

[ gesundheit. ]

[rehandle]

It's French. It means "I don't know what". In context, a little bit of something.

[forcevisions]

I think I understand less than I did before you explained.

[rehandle]

That's probably for the best.

[ an Easy Out ]

[forcevisions]

You're making fun of me.
I can tell because you're doing that thing Daisy always does where you stop answering questions.
😡

[rehandle]

I'm not making fun of you. I'm avoiding having to give you tips on how to improve your love life.

[forcevisions]

You're the one who started evaluating.
I don't think it needs improvement.

[rehandle]

Happy to hear.

[forcevisions]

How's the interrogation going?

[ salvation. ]

[rehandle]

It's going.

[ which is to say they're still on the early questions and nothing has yet gone to hell in the form of implant chat or unfortunate fingers ]

He doesn't know where the agents are, but he's given us a few general prisoner holding locations that may prove useful.

[forcevisions]

Where?

[ it's the holy grail, the light at the end of the tunnel. it's what she's been working towards for months. it has to be where the agents are held. ]

[rehandle]

A selection of research outposts outside the city.

[forcevisions]

I know the ones.

[ thanks to riku, she has a reference point for that. ]

Don't let them kill him, Stephen.
People were talking about it like it was an option. It's not.

[rehandle]

I know. It's not going to happen.

[forcevisions]

Thank you.

[ she trusts him, at least. they've been through some weird shit, but strange is always there for looking after people. ]
