This is Soleil! I still don't know how this thing works, but if you say something after the little beep, I guess I'll be able to hear it later?

If you're a girl, I'll get back to you as soon as possible! Otherwise...well, it's the thought that counts, right?

HI ATHENA I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THIS AND EVERYTHING IS BIG HELP

[psycholawgy]

Oh! Try pressing the shift key! It looks like an arrow pointing upwards on your keyboard.

There! This is harder than I thought it would be. I feel like a bumpkin.

[psycholawgy]

Hey, don't worry about it! Everyone has to adjust at some point. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon enough. :)

[sunnymerc]

Thanks for the vote of confidence. And thanks for checking up on me! That's super sweet of you. I hope you haven't missed me too much.

[psycholawgy]

I miss my friends when I don't get to talk to them much.

So, how are you settling in? Did you find some people from your world here, too?

[sunnymerc]

You're too sweet!! I ran into a few people from home here and I've made lots of friends.

It's still kind of overwhelming, though. Just doing this right now is taking all my effort not to mess up.

[psycholawgy]

That's lucky! It's good that you're not alone here. Are you staying with them now?

And don't pressure yourself! You'll end up making more mistakes if you keep thinking about it.

[sunnymerc]

Nope! I'm living all alone. It's okay, though. It means I've got free rein.

In fact, between that and this thingy, I'm able to talk to you without you having any idea I'm not wearing pants. It's like the best of all worlds!

[psycholawgy]

Well, now I know!

... are YOU wearing any pants?

[ now she's curious. ]

[sunnymerc]

I'll leave that up to your imagination.

( This is why she lives alone. )

[psycholawgy]

[ ah... athena's very imaginative, too. thanks, soleil. ]

Okay, so no pants, then.

[sunnymerc]

Oh, interesting choice.

But speaking of pants! I've found so many cute things to wear here. I can't believe how much...STUFF is in this world.

[psycholawgy]

Don't go broke from shopping!!!

[sunnymerc]

How can I go broke? I just need to hand over this card and I get whatever I want!

[psycholawgy]

If you don't work and keep spending, your credits are going to end up being zero!

[sunnymerc]

Don't worry! I've already got a job. I won't be living on the streets any time soon.

[psycholawgy]

Oh, where do you work?

[sunnymerc]

I've got two jobs! I'm a, uh...feral alien socializer? I think that means I need to play with weird critters.

But more importantly I work over in the entertainment district at night. I'm an escort. I get paid to be nice to girls!

[psycholawgy]

An escort?! I definitely didn't see that coming...

As long as you like what you're doing, I guess.

[sunnymerc]

Don't worry! You'll always have a special discount whenever you need my company, Athena.

[psycholawgy]

I hate to break it to you, but I don't need an escort for anything... I have a boyfriend!

[sunnymerc]

No way. Thank goodness I'm already sitting down otherwise I'd have collapsed in disappointment.

[psycholawgy]

You're just saying that, too.

[sunnymerc]

Haha, no way. I don't say things like that without meaning it!

Okay well I wouldn't have collapsed, but the sentiment is honest.
