oo1 ∞ video / text
[ for optimal viewing pleasure, please see the following and allow to run in the background as you enjoy this recording. though the only thing currently in the feed is an angled shot of the treetops in the gardens, this is not an accidental video. there's rustling in the background, like something's moving fast through the leaves coming closer, and it is moving.
a couple seconds later, myfanwy comes flying overhead, a small black shape on her back. it might not be terribly difficult to discern what it is, but don't worry if you miss it, because the pteranodon makes a screech and a sharp turn, sending the shape tumbling off her back towards the device.
river rolls over the feed when she hits the ground, dressed in her tq crew uniform with the legs cut into shorts, hair tied up in a messy bun and hands covered with fingerless black gloves that hardly fit her at all. sky-diving experts or anyone with military training might notice her roll is perfectly controlled to minimise damage, and when she comes back into view, her eyes are wide with adrenaline but she doesn't seem particularly bothered by her fall. ]
Test five. Flight successful. Notes: need to meet higher altitude, consider construction of a harness; ask permission first. No hard turns.
[ she looks away for a second and blinks. ]
I skinned my knees.
[ oops? that's all she says before cutting off the feed. a second later, she attaches a text message. ]
needed:
[ namely: simon's services and stolen goods. double oops? river's permission post is, as always, right yonder with all the necessary warnings and what have you! ]

Know a lot of things. Not all of it is useful or practical. She fell.
voice »
He falls. Missing is a little too sentimental for me.
[ yeah, he totally does. ]
voice »
Sentiment isn't quantifiable. It's there even when you're missing.
voice »
Sentiment isn't something that's— it's a feeling. I don't like it. I am not sentimental. [ are too tony. ] You should guess my answer.
voice »
[ a pause. ]
Of a sort.
voice »
[ Spoilers: First word answered the question, River. ]
Definites are fun. Indefinites too.
voice »
Which one are you?
voice »
this is kind of a fun game. ]
Indefinites are fun. More interesting. Definites have their merits but no one likes a definite in real life.
[ no one likes something that doesn't move. stays the same. ]
voice »
[ it's said with amusement in her voice. her favourite game: say what you mean without saying what you mean. ]
voice »
Indefinites give you more room to play.
voice »
[ a beautiful star painted in reds and blues and strict compliance. her flag is a definite too, she thinks, but there's a pause - ]
So which one are you?
voice »
[ definites hold you back, definites are something tony riles against because a young life spent wanting to have the attention of a man too preoccupied with a dead ( except not really ) symbol. ]
Haven't you figured it out yet? [ indefinite. ] Unsolvable things. Complicated equations.
voice »
[ everything sounds so much sweeter outside of her head. ]
voice »
[ fill up his own quiet. fill up a room with just him and those he wanted in it. ]
I'll have the harness as long as you keep your promise.
voice »
Cross my heart.
voice »
I'd say and hope to die, but not a big fan of that on this ship. If I run late, come bother me. I suck at sticking to schedules.
voice »
Time is a fallacious concept built on the phases of celestial bodies that may or may not even be within this galaxy. Schedules are lame.
voice »
The lamest. Not going to hold me to one?
voice »
Not unless you want me to.
voice »
Not even remotely. [ a beat. ] I'll get it to you soon enough then.
[ and then he ends the feed and you're a new favorite river, the end. ]
