...Virginia and I have not died a horrible death

Did you meet Figaro?

[drifterforhire]

Uh-uh. I've been marooned on a Sandcraft for a little over a month.

[maraihi]

Figaro turns one month tomorrow.

[drifterforhire]

Huh. Then he must have been born not long after we set out for the Dunes. Figures I'd miss the birth.

You both doing all right, I take it?

[bluespring]

The usual. Interesting new people, troublesome viruses, chaos happening on people's worlds, and amidst it all, people complaining about how boring everything is.

It's nice to hear from you again, though.

[drifterforhire]

Never a dull moment, on my world, or on the comm. Can't wait until we've dealt with the Prophets. Then things can finally go back to normal, on Filgaia, at least.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were worried about me, Karen.

[bluespring]

Or what was normal before they came along, at least.

What do you mean, if you didn't know any better?

[drifterforhire]

It's not so bad. The environment is harsh, but that's just the way things are. I've adapted to desert living just fine.

I dunno. I guess I'm still getting used to idea of us being friends. That's... what we are, right?

[redheadcarrier]

...hey, you are alive.

[drifterforhire]

You didn't think I'd die that easily, did ya? Not even the legendary Dune monster, Balal Quo Naga, could keep me down!

So, what have you been up to lately? You're still hanging out in Iwatodai, right?

((I've started playing P3, and it's freakin' AWESOME! I'm up to 10/20, as of this post.))

[redheadcarrier]

Something like that... Kaworu, Minato, and I actually moved out of the dorms and we have an apartment and I...

Ugh.

I'm working a job just to keep a roof over heads, because God knows they're not going to do it.

[drifterforhire]

What the fuck, man? It's the man who's supposed to support the woman!

You tell Kaworu to get off his lazy ass and help out! God knows he's smart enough to find a job he can work at. Probably could make some cash playing violin on street corners...

[darkling_wind]

It is good to know that you and your friend have not died yet. I have a small favor to ask of you.

I understand that you live in the same world as the Prophet Maltek, correct? If you see him, could you perhaps check on my Weed? I have been wondering how it has progressed.

[drifterforhire]

I think you mean Malik.

Yeah, we live in the same world, but, uh... We're not exactly on friendly terms, if you get my drift...

[darkling_wind]

I'm afraid your human names all sound quite similar to me.

Oh? He seemed like such a nice man.

[drifterforhire]

...you obviously have not paid attention to any of our conversations, have you?

[drifterforhire]

Good to hear from you too, Kaworu. You're one of the few sane people around here...

You better have! How can you expect a girl to take care of you, huh? What kind of job have you got?

[drifterforhire]

Everyone's gotta pull their own weight. If you don't work, you don't eat, that's how it works in my world.

Hm. I guess that's a good job for someone like you. You don't strike me as the kind of guy to go out and get his hands dirty.
