Forty-Eighth Theory [Accidental Video/Action for Housemates]

[It should be immediately obvious that Don didn't mean to turn his journal on, and isn't even aware that it is on. He isn't looking at it. He isn't saying anything. In fact, he might not be awake. He's just sitting slumped in a chair, his head on the desk-like counter before him

Huh. Must be a different part of New York than I remember.

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

... Fujiko.

[Never mind what New York does or doesn't look like; you must have heard the news.]

[voice]

[doubleppk]

H-hey.

[Yes. She's emoing like hell.]

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

How - how are you?

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Fine. [Lying.]

Hum. He'll... whatever. [What can she say? Maybe he'll find another girlfriend now? Or go exploring? They both know he's probably forgotten her. What was even the point.] He's a good guy. [Not that she's known any. So her frame of reference is small, but he's probably one of the best she has known.] So he'll be okay. Wherever he is I guess.

[A strange answer. Don suspects it has very little to do with how Fujiko is really feeling.]

Um... yes.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Sorry for you guys.

[What is normal social interaction? Yeah. She sucks at this. She's always the one to leave first. And if not, she leaves before it gets like this at least.]

[i_speak_softly]

[He's - not really sure what to say. He would feel bad cutting contact with Fujiko now that Raph is gone, even though part of him would be perfectly happy to never speak to her again.]

We'll be okay.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

[Eh... she gets it. And that would not be a first for her.]

All right. Glad to hear it.
