[On the feed, you can see a pretty blonde girl staring at the screen. She's brushing her long hair with one hand, reaching to poke around on the screen with the other.

Finally, she lets out a little sigh, and mutters:]

Same shit, different day, I guess.

[She'll finally look directly into the camera, now, and put on a bit of a smile as she continues brushing her hair.]

So, it looks like I'm one of the few people whose age didn't get screwed around with. Anyone else out there?

[ino]

Ah, well. Maybe some other time.

[wilder]

Some other time? You do know how linear time works, right?

[ino]

I'm pretty sure people can be taken here from any time in their life though, right? Something like this might happen again.

[wilder]

Yeah but why take me as a kid? I'd be pretty useless.

[ino]

That's not exactly what I'm saying. The kid thing is obviously a mistake. But since any time in your timeline is possible, whatever messed up this time might mess up again.

[wilder]

Ugh. Leeet's hope not.

[ino]

Better be prepared, just in case~

[honestly, she wouldn't mind, if it were her. at this point she's so used to people turning into children and cats and the like that it's a little weird to NOT have that happening]

[wilder]

Hm.

[how do you even prepare for something like that? Jeez, what a pain...]

[ino]

Hm?

[wilder]

Yeah? Hm.

[ino]

... Right.

[AWKWARD ...]

So did anybody you know get messed with?

[wilder]

....Maybe. I'll have to look into it.

[ino]

You don't know?

[wilder]

Nope!

[ino]

What have you been doing lately?

[please don't tell her you're turning into a hermit like onceler]

[wilder]

[SINCE THIS IS BEFORE THE RABID CHILD IS SUPPOSED TO COME INTO HIS LIFE-]

Uh...not much?

[ino]

Like, going outside or reading the device or anything? Have you been doing that?

[don't make her mother you, zelos]

[wilder]

I'm looking at the device right now aren't I? And I go outside, even if it's raining all the time.

[ino]

[pinches the bridge of her nose ...]

That's what cloaks and umbrellas are for.

[wilder]

So? It's still gross outside.

[ino]

It's still fresh air. It's unhealthy for you to lock yourself up in your room all the time.

[wilder]

Dude have you breathed that air? It is not fresh.

[ino]

[TECHNICALITIES.]

As fresh as it gets.

[she frowns, leaning in to the camera a little]

What happened to the guy who used to lecture me about not going out enough? How about we spar or something?

[wilder]

[HE DIED INO. HE DIED AND GOT RESURRECTED IN A SHITTY TOWN WITH EVEN LESS SHIT TO DO]

Spar?

[There's hesitation because ugh what if his powers act up again?]

All right, I could go for one of those.

[ino]

[SOB]

Great! Do you know where the training center is?
