(one) video

[rewarded]

[Greetings, Exsilium. Hope you're not tired of all these new transports, because there is going to be one (1) more popping up on the network during this lovely evening. She had avoided being overly social after her initial briefing, but now she had a stomach to fill and some time to kill, so here she was. If she looks a little bit too made up for this to be a casual, spur of the moment video, that's because it's not.

It's actually a con.]

Y'know, when I got dragged here, the last thing I expected was to be nearly bored to death. [Laughing a little, mostly because haha--death. That's hilarious.] I guess I was wrong, though. Let's change that.

[And shuffling a little, if only to show a couple of coins on the feed, she explains herself.]

Tell me a story. It can be scary, funny, sad-- whatever it is you can think of. If you make me cry, I'll buy you anything you want. If you don't... you'll buy me food tonight. Sounds good? [Probably not.

But, she looks frail and young enough for this to be easy. It should be easy, right? Right. That said, she flashes a smile at her tablet and ends the recording right there.]

Maybe, but it's been a while since then. [A LONG WHILE.] How old are you, again?

[anotheryosuke]

Ah, right. [He almost blurted out "You're way older!" but he does have self-preservation sometimes.] I'm 15! I've had an eventful life, though, so we're even.

[No, they're not.]

[SMART KID.] You sure about that? 15 years doesn't seem like a long enough life to call it "eventful".

[anotheryosuke]

Believe me, it's been plenty eventful! Ah, but if I told you, I'd have to kill you.

[There's a pause and then he bursts out laughing, and if it's a little shaky that's probably just the connection.]

Still, I've already told you stories, so you should tell some sometime.

Very funny. [It's even funnier to her, because. U kno. Immortal and all of that.]

Just ask, then. I might know a few.

[You immortals and your immortality and your zillion-year ennui.]

Hmmm. Well, I'm definitely curious, what would you consider a sad story?
