[zerosuitjill]

[There's a part of Jill that's strongly against using a video feed. It feels too... open, maybe, too revealing, but perhaps because habits are hard to break -- or perhaps because there are still parts of her true personality clinging to her psyche -- she makes her address a video, and entirely public at that.

Hm. Not that I am complaining about the lovely sight before me but are you feeling alright, my friend?

video; shh totally the same LJ here

[flipkicking]

[She looks up. And takes a couple seconds to answer.] Perfectly.

[She doesn't ask, but there's an air of why the hell would you bother asking that?]

[Turning back to her books and things; 98% disregard now, and it shows in her tone.]

[suaveleather]

[He chuckles.]

[flipkicking]

Perhaps.

[Attention lost. She cuts the feed.]
