Sooo...

Hey, you there? This is Eric

Yeah. Sorry I just woke up

What's up?

Well, I remembered you gave me your number. I didn't want you to think I forgot about it. Sorry if I woke you up.

Don't worry about it, I'm happy to hear from you!

Cats sleep all day anyways; I can afford to be awake.

I guess that's good then? Um... My pet raven found something in the woods, it's like a purple rock. Do you want it for your collection?

=ටᆼට= Sure, I'll take it!!

You have a pet raven?

Great!

I mean, I'll give it to you next time we meet.

And well, Oz isn't really a pet. He's just sort of started hanging around

That's so cool! You guys must have a way with birds, huh?

I wanted to get a bird, but my parents think I'm just going to eat it :(

I guess we do, haha. And why would they think that?

Because we're cat people, and cats are apparently supposed to eat birds a lot. I don't even like chicken that much!

Can I see Oz someday? I promise I won't try to eat him

Cats do, but cat people don't. I think.

But yeah, I'll bring Oz along if I can. He gets a bit moody

Some of my little siblings still do. They grow out of it eventually but it sucks having to clean up after them

Soo, why are you up after midnight?

That sounds messy...

I couldn't sleep. I guess... I was still thinking about the VR thing

You too?

What about it?

Well...

I don't know, I think it's just some weird side-effect, you know?

I... don't know how to explain it

If you want to try, I'm patient

Is it bad? Like...bothering you bad, I mean.

The Orion people have psychologists if you need one

No, it's not really bothering me, it's just...

It's this weird kind of feeling... nothing bad.

Yeah, I get that.

I've heard about the lasting effects the VRs used to have, but the parasite infection is the last thing on my mind

I guess I'm just...thinking about what happened.

Yeah? Me too.

It was a lot more different than the last one I've been on.

A bit more... personal? I guess?

You think so? This was my first big-time VR

I think it was great for a first-timer; I really felt a lot.

More than any Oculus Rift game...

What was your last VR like?

It was fun. A lot of super heroes trying to solve a number of murders. Up until a harrowing part, but after that, I was just looking around the city.

The space colony thing was more interesting though.

I don't know what I'd be like as a superhero...

Probably a normal citizen pretending to be one by throwing cool rocks at people. Nova had it down.

Acheron, I mean. Solving mysteries was really fun.

And so was talking to you

Does that sound dumb?? I feel like that sounds dumb

Hey, you there? This is Eric

Yeah. Sorry I just woke up

What's up?

Well, I remembered you gave me your number. I didn't want you to think I forgot about it. Sorry if I woke you up.

Does that sound dumb?? I feel like that sounds dumb

No no! That didn't sound dumb at all.

I mean, I liked talking to you too

You know, Lee actually left a message for Nova in case he didn't make it.

Wait, really?? No one told me anything about a note!

What did it say?

Hey, you there? This is Eric

Yeah. Sorry I just woke up

You know, Lee actually left a message for Nova in case he didn't make it.

Wait, really?? No one told me anything about a note!

What did it say?

He programmed his pod to change his bio to the message, in case he ended up dead, but since he lived I guess it didn't trigger. I forgot most of it, but it read like a sappy love letter. And there was something about wanting to kiss her.

Wait...Are you serious?

You're not trying to pull my leg, are you??

Hey, you there? This is Eric

Yeah. Sorry I just woke up

You're not trying to pull my leg, are you??

No, why would I do that? It's all true, I promise!

It does sound kind of silly, right?

No no, not at all! I think it sounds really sweet, actually

Nova would've liked that

She wanted to kiss Lee too, but the medical room was crowded when he came back

Hey, you there? This is Eric

Yeah. Sorry I just woke up

Nova would've liked that

She wanted to kiss Lee too, but the medical room was crowded when he came back

I kind of figured, looking back on it.

She was acting sappy too.

You think it'd be weird if they actually did that?

You know, that's a dumb question, ignore that

Oh noo I suddenly can't read your last message, what a shame!

Weird how? I think it would've been really nice.

Sappy, but nice
