Don't be. It was fun.

[throughbamboo]

- it was?

[causeplay]

I haven't felt that afraid of death in, hmm... over a decade now?

[throughbamboo]

. . . and y'thought it was fun.

[causeplay]

Is that really so strange?

[throughbamboo]

[he doesn't have the right memories for this, but he isn't judging her]

Less strange, more concernin'. Why d'ya think it's fun?

[causeplay]

Most things can't faze me these days.

[throughbamboo]

[tilts his head]

So it's the thrill ya thought was fun.

[causeplay]

People go bungee jumping for a reason, no?

[throughbamboo]

S'a little different.

[causeplay]

Is it really?

[throughbamboo]

Would bungee-jumpin' work for ya?

[causeplay]

No.

I'm too good at it.

[throughbamboo]

Good at it?

I thought it was just flingin' yerself off a bridge with a cord.

[causeplay]

I do it with grace, dear. Ore.

[throughbamboo]

Gracefully flingin' yerself off a bridge.

[causeplay]

I'd be happy to demonstrate if there was suitable apparatus here.

[throughbamboo]

I'll take yer word for it, ya don't gotta demonstrate.

[causeplay]

Very generous. How have your own visions been treating you?

[throughbamboo]

My visions? Ehh, they've been a lil' all over the place. What 'bout yours?

[causeplay]

My first involved stabbing, as I said. My counterpart allowed herself to be stabbed in the abdomen as part of some strategy I couldn't quite follow. Encouraged it, even. As for the second. . .

[ extracts a snowglobe from her purse. ]

Would you like to see?

[throughbamboo]

So that's what ya meant by twice - it was strategic? [what the fuck, but. He looks a little surprised]

Ya wanna show me?

[causeplay]

I do. It's quite the puzzle, in more ways than one.

[ hands it over ]

[throughbamboo]

[he takes it, looking it over, then giving it a little shake.

His eyebrow furrow after]

. . . that is some puzzle. It's no story I've ever heard.

[causeplay]

Would you call the lack of my counterpart's appearance strange, given all the data we have so far?
