[ There's a little bit of a smile from Jaye on her end. Sounds like something Scott would say. ]

do i get something to call you, at least?

[wiretap]

[ To be honest, it's not the sort of thing she'd say to anyone else. But something about Jaye arrests her. (Something about her reminds her of Eli.) ]

aberdeen.
and you're jaye.

that would be so much creepier if people didn't do that all the time back home.

text;

[wiretap]

you're on the network.
and i watch the network.

[ (And I listen.) A pause then. ]

home?

text;

[tumbleweeds]

that is not any less creepy.

earth. can't really get more specific than that, we travel. north america, maybe.

text;

[wiretap]

could try, if you want.
be less creepy.

or at least be less obvious about it.

[ That....may be a joke. What is this fresh hell? ]

an earth riddled with creepy people.

[ She's curious about who does what back home. ]

[tumbleweeds]

too late. now i should just include "hi aberdeen" in all my network stuff.

[ Just embrace it. ]

working with gods will do that.

[wiretap]

subtle.

[ Not still amused. NOPE. ]

which ones?

text;

[tumbleweeds]

well the smiley face thing is kind of ruined.

me personally or in general? because in general is a longass list

text;

[wiretap]

not a fan of red, either.

personally.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

how about dark green?

text;

[wiretap]

passable.

[tumbleweeds]

i actually have no idea how to change the text color on these things anyway so you're stuck with black

text;

[wiretap]

i could show you.
if you want.

text; because gadgets herped her derp

[tumbleweeds]

sure.
hope you're patient though.

... and coyote, the trickster.

text; i realized after the fact that it was kind of weird grammatically on my end orz

[wiretap]

i'm not.
fair warning.

but offer still stands.

[ She doesn't know why, to be honest. But Aberdeen has never been the most self-aware person on the block. ]

old man coyote named buffalo, deer, elk, antelopes, and bear.
and all these came into being.

that coyote?

text; OH WELL WE GOT IT COVERED NOW

[tumbleweeds]

my apprentice is still working on me with facebook.
but i don't think he wants me to untag myself from pictures anyway so he's probably not too helpful on purpose.

yeah, that coyote.

[ And it's nice, having someone else who knows, who can say the old stories. ]

text; c h i n h a n d s at this thread

[wiretap]

gods.
an apprentice.
and working for coyote.

interesting.

[tumbleweeds]

[ There's a pause. A long one and then: ]

what can you do?

text; ENCRYPTED 100%

[tumbleweeds]

shapeshift. any animal. i don't need to return to my human form to change between others and i can do it as quickly, slowly, fully, or partially as i want. my brain's still human, though i'm animal enough that i can blend in.

not much of a secret anymore, at least not entirely. i kind of stampeded during that gas shit.

[wiretap]

[ There's a pause before Aberdeen responds. ]

neat trick.

[ Then, more lag. Finally: ]

ask me a question.
something you want to know.

[ This is how it works. The info she doesn't steal from you, the stuff that you give her willingly, she returns with information in turn. Quid pro puo. ]

[tumbleweeds]

the only thing i want to know is where my brother is

[wiretap]

[ It's not quite what she meant, so much so that Jaye's answer startles Aberdeen. (And she's not used to being startled.) ]

he's not aboard the ship.

[ And then, after a moment, because a deal's a deal (even if Jaye hasn't agreed to this one explicitly): ]

if he was, i'd find him for you.
