text; after the babadont plot

[bothbarrels]

θ: Who here is an artificial life form? How were you created?

θ: Who here has siblings? How do you get along?

θ: Who here has a close friend who you consider closer than family? How did you develop that bond?

θ: Who here knows you died back where you came from? How are you dealing with that information?

[ Yes, it's the middle of the night and Theta is bored. Plus he just wants to know more about the people here. He hopes everyone who responds sticks to text; he doesn't want to awaken North. ]

testing...

[inner_child]

You did it!

I was wondering, though...did you have any answers for my questions?

[valkywhee]

Oh, wow, that's hard to read. Guess I'll stick with black.

Anyway, my best friend is Ren. We've been together since we were orphaned as little kids and he saved my life during a monster attack.

[Text doesn't catch the hesitation before she types "best friend" instead of "boyfriend." Things were...weird when she left.]

[inner_child]

Oh, that sounds like it was hard! Were you okay? After the attack, I mean.

[valkywhee]

We weren't hurt, but we were the sole survivors of his village and getting to the next one wasn't easy.

[inner_child]

So that really formed a bond between you two, huh?

[valkywhee]

That, and the next 10 years.

[inner_child]

I'm glad you had a friend like that.
