[As the screen activates, Rita is rifling through some of her papers. She's about to speak when she notices something and pauses.]

Huh? ...This is definitely my writing, but I don't remember...Oh. This is from--that parasite. This is so stupid. I just want to forget that whole thing.

Hey, deities! You're listening, aren't you? I want to make a trade.

Did you find a mystery, Rita?

[blastiafreak]

No, nothing like that. It's...just something I forgot about.

[deadly_legacy]

Something you'd like to keep forgetting about?

[blastiafreak]

That'd sure be nice.

...But that's not how things work, either. I'll get over it.

[deadly_legacy]

Yes, that's true...

It seems like it's been a long time since we've spoken. How are you, Rita?

[blastiafreak]

Y-yeah, things were a little crazy the past couple weeks, but...[She shrugs casually.] I'm all right now. What about you?

[Thinks she vaguely remembers posts by Euphie on the network, but can't recall them clearly. Thanks, slug.]

[deadly_legacy]

[Noticing something in her voice.]

I'm glad you're doing better. I think things will be better from now on. [They couldn't be worse, right?]

I'm all right.

When you shout like that, do we have any choice other than to listen?

If it gets your attention.

So, I want all my research and equipment from home. All my notes, tools, books, old blastia...the apparatus and the formula--You know what? Just bring my whole house and everything in it. Shouldn't be a problem for you, right?

Naked women get my attention. Try that approach next time.

Speaking of which, I want that. A naked lady. Ten naked ladies. But we don't just get what we want right off the bat. What'll you give me in return?

Keep your fantasies to yourself!

...Hmph, the price...M-memories. My memories of my friends--for two weeks. Will that do it for you?

[ofiodine.livejournal.com]

That's hardly a fantasy.

I'm bringing in everything you want from home - minus the house. I don't do Wizard of Oz bullshit - and all you're going to give me is two weeks?

Tch, fine--take it for a month or two if you want!

And just for the record, I have no idea who the hell that wizard is.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

I think we should talk a little. You mind?

[blastiafreak]

Can it wait? I'm kinda busy.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

It can wait. What are you doing?

[blastiafreak]

I was going through some notes I'd taken down. [While possessed.] I've got some things I'd like to try out, if I can.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

What kind of things, exactly?

[blastiafreak]

This. [Holding up a piece of paper with scribbled formulae and diagrams as though Yuri will have any idea what it means.]

I'm working out a technique for ionizing mana particles and compressing them into subunits to form organized chains. Of course, I need a way to overcome repulsion forces, but it should be doable.

[hacked, but- she's learned it's not the most polite thing to do, so- quiet for now]

"This is from..."?

[blastiafreak]

Ugh, from...about a week and a half ago. It's just something I'd forgotten about until I saw it.

[sciencedaughter.livejournal.com]

I see. That explains it.

[blastiafreak]

Yeah.

...So I guess you know about what was going on then.

[sciencedaughter.livejournal.com]

I am aware of the implication, yes.

[blastiafreak]

It's not a big secret or anything--I mean, it was all over the Network, but...I just don't want to announce it to everybody or anything like that. It's over now, anyway. [She hopes.]
