[ i've made a huge mistake ]

Right!

[ This isn't how he imagined this game at all??? Still, he'll give it a red hot go! In the meantime, since they got three minutes of awkward silence and this is too intense for him, he decides to carry on the conversation as he comes up with words. He's here for two reasons, after all. ]

Y'know, I was thinking about your research questions from the other day...

[psycholawgy]

Oh!

[ she looks up to get a look at jaune's expression before turning back to her cerevice to type in some more words. ]

What about 'em?

[beaconed]

[ Meanwhile, he's not looking up at all. Talking and focusing on this game is hard enough as it is. ]

Do you remember Pyrrha? She was at your sleep over, and... and you signed a card for her once. She was my partner.

Well, is, but... you know, it's weird. How they just disappear like that.

[psycholawgy]

I do remember her. I taught her how to play chess!

[ she didn't know jaune was her partner, though. to think that the two of them had that kind of relationship!! (Someone please correct athena else she'll continue to misunderstand.) ]

It is weird, though. Have you been okay after she left?

[beaconed]

To be honest, I kinda freaked out. [ Almost got himself killed at the tours just for answers! ]

I didn't think I'd be okay. I even gave up fighting, but... I dunno, having friends helped a lot. Maybe it's like that for others, too. [ Like you. ] Not just friends, though. A purpose! I think the reason we're still here is because we can save the worlds somehow, right?

I mean, they're counting on us from the other side, so... [oh! he got another one!]

[psycholawgy]

[ jaune, don't get killed... ]

Friends and a purpose, huh? [ she laughs again. ] That sounds like something I would say if I wanted to inspire somebody.

[ looks like these two have something in common after all. ]

[beaconed]

[ they just might! ☾ ☾ ]

Yeah! So don't worry too much about the future. If it's something you wanna get over, then you will, trust me. [ This is more about Weiss, now. ] And if you don't? Then that's fine, too.

So, think you're gonna get back on the dating scene? [ It almost sound like he's asking her out, LOL TYPICAL. But no! He's Mr. Sensitive Brother of Seven Sisters today. ]

[psycholawgy]

Wha- What?! [ her cheeks flush red at the sudden question. and she pouts. ] That- That was for research purposes!!

[ and she huffs. ]

But if you must know, I probably won't... not yet, anyway. Maybe I'll wait a few more weeks until I decide to move on.

[beaconed]

Time helps! There's no wrong answer here, just do what you feel is right.

[ He can't believe he actually had some insight to offer. If only his damn Boggling game was on par! ]

Whoops, speaking of time, heh. [ Ten seconds left!! ]

[psycholawgy]

I can't believe you can sound so serious! Your posts on the network are always so goofy...!

[ she stops typing on her cerevice before the timer even goes off. she has more than enough words to feel confident that she'll win, anyway. ]

[beaconed]

Whaaat? No way, my posts are all serious! Name one time I was goofy!

[psycholawgy]

Your ads for your agency thing are goofy.

[beaconed]

[ HOW DARE ]

...

Name five times I was goofy!

[psycholawgy]

[ ok you got her there. ]

That's all I have.

[beaconed]

... I'd like to rest my case.

[ Make him a lawyer, Athena!! ]

Do you... wanna go first?

[psycholawgy]

Oh, the game!

[ right. she looks down at her cerevice and reads a couple of words aloud. some are pretty long ones like "second" and "respond". she's got a pretty good list! ]

Do you have those?

[beaconed]

[ ....... ]

...
I got "teen".




D-Do you have "teen"?

[psycholawgy]

Oh, I have that, too!

[beaconed]

[ Jaune throws his arms in the air, dropping his CereVice to the side. ]

Okay-- you win!

[psycholawgy]

Ha! I won!

[ she punches the air in front of her. ]

I won! Good job, Athena!

[beaconed]

....Did you just congratulate yourself?

[psycholawgy]

Someone had to!

Good job, Athena!

[ OH, THANKS WIDGET. you have her back! ]

[beaconed]

Did you program an app to congratul-- [ NEVERMIND, she's happy at least! ]

Good job, Athena!

Consider me boggled!

...t-that's not a saying, is it...

[psycholawgy]

I'm pretty sure that's an actual saying.

[beaconed]

You're the word queen!

But... thanks for showing me how to play it, Athena. I-I'll be a better challenge next time!
