I'll resume my dinner duties whenever I'm settled. I'm greatful to whoever covered for me. [And he's considerably less angry, now.]

[Private to Friends | Audio]

I brought you some things. It has been only about a week, I presume? [They're small things. Something for Lua, Wanda, Tosh, Dylan- that he's already unfortunately delivered-, Ben, Kozak, and Perry.] I'll drop them off whenever would be suitable.

[Private to the people watching Ben | Audio]

How is he doing?

Yeah. Ironic as it may seem to you, I feel you helped me get past the urge to destroy people I hate. Though I'm really sorry about the circumstances.

...kitchen's fully scrubbed out, by the way.

[She rubs her face.]

I don't know, I have a semi-heavy dilemma I'm dealing with, but this isn't time to talk about that.

Have I...shown you any of my sculptures?

Re: [Private] I'm not sorry

[truth_is_cold]

Not the ones that aren't remarkably constructed breasts, no. [This seems like the preferable train of thought to follow.]

[Private]

[She turns slightly red and laughs.] Oh yeah, the boobie bombing. I still don't know what was going through my head besides prankishness. Nothing wrong with boobs! But so far my best work seems to be abstract.

[She goes off camera for a minute and comes back with a dark green glass abstraction that looks vaguely like a spreading wing.] This uh...used to be an olive oil bottle.

I preferred sporadic breasts over magic mistletoe.

[But his cheekiness fades and he smiles appreciatively at that.] It's very good. Did you use your abilities to make it? [He's guessing she did, but she might have also made use of the art room.]

Yeah, I am really not so into forced intimacy, thank you very much.

I have thought of recoloring the hallway walls or something, randomly, before I go. Or redoing a random lounge.

[She peers at it.] Still needs something. But yeah, I did it with my powers. This whole last year I've tried to focus on positive uses for them--reshaping things, making things, building things. It took a lot of work but it's starting to pay off.
