WHO: viv and whoever
WHERE: network
WHEN: 5/18, morning
WHAT: So This Is Happening Again
WARNINGS: none

[the feed opens to an extremely purple face staring flatly into the camera. some of you might recognize it! viv's gaze persists through a good few seconds of silence before she finally speaks in an equally flat monotone.]

What the fuck.

[...

...and, yeah, that's it, apparently. that's the entire post.]

[Before Shio flips his camera on, he lets out a snort.]

Hello to you too, Viv.

[sunforging]

Aye, that 'bout sums up how it's been lately.

[mehjin]

[she narrows her eyes a little.]

Shio. Don't tell me...

[reignitions]

Don't tell you what?

[mehjin]

You've still had this the whole time?

[reignitions]

I have. So has Yasuho. It was real damn weird when you suddenly didn't.

[mehjin]

[she pauses for a moment. then, with slightly more inflection:]

What the fuck, man.

[reignitions]

I don't know either. You missed some shit.

[mehjin]

Oh, good.

[Oh hey! That's a purple he's not seen in some time.]

... I remember you. [Takame you could start with a hello, but then again this post started with a What The Fuck so.]

[sunforging]

Y'alright, mate?

[mehjin]

Cool. [cool, cool, cool.] You wanna gimme the highlights?

[mehjin]

Peachy. Just, uh. Getting some deja vu here.

[mehjin]

Takame, right?

[she remembers you too. which feels weird because she definitely didn't a day ago.]

[reignitions]

Yeah. Swing by Gen so we can do this in person?

["Over food" doesn't need to be said.]

[hoshikiri]

Mm, yes. And... Vivian? Ah, you preferred "Viv", is that correct?

[He even remembers the little things!]

You've remembered the rest of your previous time having this app as well, I assume.

[mehjin]

Sounds good.

[the video cuts off without any further ado as she prepares to head over.]

[mehjin]

[she nods.]

Right on both counts.

[hoshikiri]

[Considering what just happened in town and that it's been a long while on top of that...]

Are you alright?

[mehjin]

I'm fine?

[whatever's been going on, it hasn't affected her in the slightest! which is kind of the thing.]

It's just... weird.

[hoshikiri]

Mm. I imagine that it is...

[He's grateful she managed to sneak back in after all was said and done if she was going to at all. Last year was enough.]

Have you been well since then?

[mehjin]

Been living.

[shrug.]

-> action

[reignitions]

[And while he waits, he'll get to making sure the food will be ready and waiting.

It's kind of funny how familiar this feels--even if it feels a little like a forever ago when Viv came in that first time after she'd gotten the app, where he was taken so off guard by the change in her appearance.

... It's almost welcome now, if he thinks about it.]

VIV!? You're-

[Oops her camera is on and UHHHHH

GIRL YOU LOOK DIFFERENT....

(It's the ears and teeth and babby velvetted antlers. Woof.)]

You're purple again!

[mehjin]

[it really is like that, isn't it? it's not lost on viv either. as she walks into the restaurant, she lazily lifts a hand in greeting.]

Hey.
