Thanks...[There's a slight grin even if he's embarrassed.] I ended up owing Nanna a huge apology, too, after Vic and I broke up but after that everything felt better. It felt fine again.

The network helped a lot though.

[robitussin]

Yeah. It's kind of weird how that works, huh? I mean... If someone came up to me last year all like, hey, so you're going to get an app on your phone that's going to make you remember a past life and it's going to drastically improve your social life, I would've slowly backed away while nodding awkwardly.

[windeity]

I tried explaining it to someone who just got the network a while ago and that is about the response he gave me, too. I'm pretty sure he believes me now though. You know Gar? [Who's like. In their group.] Lesson learned: people are going to think this is weird no matter how normal it seems to us now.

[robitussin]

That's fair enough.

[Punctuated with a small noise of amusement.]

It'd be cool if we could, like, have the same effect where we make tons of new friends, but only remember really awesome stuff. That'd be neat.

[windeity]

Maybe if we start a petition or something that can be a thing that happens. "Let Retrospec keep our shitty memories" or something like that.

[His horse jolts forward a bit but he manages to keep the reins in his hands.]

[robitussin]

That would be cool. Nothing would make sense, but it would be, like, a happy nonsensical life.

[She gives him a look.]

You okay?

[windeity]

That seems on par with my life now? It's not like anything makes sense this way in the first place. And yeah, it's fine. I have to get as much practice as possible for some thing Dave wants to do.

[robitussin]

...Wait, is Dave making you go horseback riding? I had no idea that was a thing he was into.

[windeity]

I guess most of his family knows how to and his brother's really into horses? But no, it's not that. It's jousting. [Because somehow that is so much better.]

[robitussin]

...Wait, what? Why is he teaching you to joust?

[windeity]

He's not, it's for some YouTube thing with a friend of his? I actually am not entirely clear on it.

[robitussin]

If you guys get yourselves killed I am going to be so mad at you.

[windeity]

Okay first of all! I have died enough in the old lifetime, I am not really looking for a repeat in this one. Second of all I think it's like...fake jousting? The details of it are not really clear to me. But it'll be fine.

[robitussin]

[She pauses for a few moments as he mentions that first detail, but continues on after that pause.]

Why does he want you to fake joust?

[windeity]

Why does Dave want me to do any of the weird shit Dave sometimes wants me to do? [Better yet, why does John go with it?] I don't know, I am sure he explained it but I would have to go through my thousand texts from him this month to really know.

[robitussin]

Because he's Dave, I guess.

[A pause.]

I can't believe I have to ask this, but is that an exaggeration or not?

[windeity]

That...is probably not an exaggeration? [Eheh.] Dave likes texting.

[robitussin]

You guys are such nerds.

[windeity]

Like you wouldn't text somebody a lot if you were dating and separated for a whole month? Come on. ...but Dave also would have probably texted me a lot even if we were not dating so never mind.

[robitussin]

I would totally play it cool, as I would in all hypothetical romantic encounters.

[She smirks.]

I stand by the fact that you guys are nerds.

[windeity]

So what I am hearing is that we have to find you someone for a romantic encounter just to check. [An equally cheeky grin.] Besides if we're nerds what exactly does that make you?

[robitussin]

If you put me on a blind date with some random person I will strangle you. Fair warning.

Someone who is tolerant and kind enough to put up with constant nerdiness, I guess.

[windeity]

As funny as I think that would be, I always feel like blind dates are a little weird and terrible taste. So we'll set you up with someone you actually know and that will clearly be much better. As your constantly nerdy friend I can do that because I still have good taste.

[robitussin]

Oh my god. Who is that going to be, exactly? Just so I can plan around awkwardly avoiding that person forever.

[windeity]

I haven't gotten that far yet so you're safe, don't worry.
