(013) Thirteenth Report [>>Video] Forward-dated to late evening

[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. The feed shows a remote corner of the

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?]

video; yup, totally

[suaveleather]

[His eyebrows raise further and he smirks.]

And you have returned to being blond again? Ah, you would not mind my asking why, would you?

[flipkicking]

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

I'm afraid I don't recall being anything else -- not in a long time, at any rate.

[satangotmylungs]

[Let him stare.

And drink it in. Goddamn, man. Goddamn.]

You're lookin'...good.

[Video]

[flipkicking]

John.

[It's barely acknowledging, said with as minimal attention as possible. She doesn't even look over.

You're now expendable, John: nothing special about you, no particular ties she can use. Her relations with you have been trivial -- far too human in nature, and it's a wonder she's even bothered, really.]

[What did he do? Did Misaki tell her something he'd rather her not know? Was she pissed because he suggested her roommate get her doll a new dress?

Because, honestly, Misaki didn't seem like one to just make up untruths because she disliked someone.]

...what?

[Video]

[flipkicking]

[Fine, a partial glance -- but even that's slightly impatient.]

Do you have anything intelligent to say, or do you intend to simply stare and allow your libido to do all the thinking?

[Video]

[inforapound]

Interesting choice of reading glasses, darling.

[He cants his head slightly, eyebrows lifting.] Is there a reason for the sudden fascination with unnatural technological advancement, or were you just getting bored?

[Video]

[flipkicking]

Curiosity, you could say. Presented with so much diversity and opportunity, it really is only natural.

[Video]

[inforapound]

Mmm, perhaps. Although when you get down to the core of things, the differences aren't really all that vast.

[Video]

[flipkicking]

[She spreads her hands slightly.] In the grand scheme of things, perhaps not. But the little details are what advancements are made of.

[needslight]

...Jill? [She clearly isn't too certain. She recognizes her face, and voice, but Jill's current persona was frighteningly different from the one she remembered.]

[Video]

[flipkicking]

[The briefest of glances.] Alice.

[Video]

[needslight]

[. . .] You seem a little different. Is everything all right?

[Video]

[zerosuitjill]

Quite. I have simply only just recognized what an opportunity this is.

[Video]

[neurotoxins]

Is your dimension one where only humans exist?

[Video]

[flipkicking]

Indeed, unless one counts animals and all the forms of lower evolution.

[Video]

[neurotoxins]

I wouldn't count them. [She pauses.] That probably explains your lack of advancement.

[Video]

[flipkicking]

Sadly. So imagine my surprise when confronted with so many differences -- although technological advancement is one thing. Physical adaptations are another.
