Yura is at home, which is gone. Bluebird is at the castle still. Natalie is here, but she came from later, when we'd already been dating for months, and can't deal with the idea of dating someone who doesn't remember months of their relationship.

[tothefly]

Okay, so. None of those are feasible right now. Why not flirt with a stranger? Doesn't have to mean anything but a little fun. Sometimes a little connection without pressure is nice.

[experiencepoints]

... Are you recommending a date or getting laid? I mean, either of them sound good right now, but.

[tothefly]

Either. Both. Would that be awful?

[experiencepoints]

I would really like to get laid again, yes. But I'm not sure I like the idea of fucking someone on, supposedly, galactic television.

[tothefly]

Supposedly. But who can really tell? Can you let implications and threats control all of your life, for the indefinite future?

[experiencepoints]

... I mean, I already am. I can't talk about the Echoes here, because they gain power from being thought of, and I can't risk them gaining the kind of power from the thoughts of that many people, even if I don't believe it.

[tothefly]

That isn't all that your life consists of, here. It isn't just them, anymore. You can build something new without forgetting the people you were taken from.

[experiencepoints]

And get naked in front of a trillion people?
