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!

[psycholawgy]

Study up!

[ PEACE SIGN. ]

Or we could play a different game next time.
