Hi, Amy. I'm OA.

I used to exercise with my — [ hm, soulmate might sound a little much... ] — boyfriend. I think it would be nice to buddy up too.

[begot]

hi oa! it's really lovely to meet you. (do i pronounce that as the two letters separately or together?)

that sounds nice.

[ A pause — the temptation is to turn a little bit of information into a lot (or at least a little more), but she can save that for later. Or at least for a less public forum. ]

have you been here long?

[resurrected]

The two letters separately. They're initials.

I've only been in the house for a few weeks, but I've been in this dimension for almost three months. Everyone I arrived with woke up in the woods near the commune.

[begot]

okay!
do you mind if i ask what they stand for?

i heard about the commune. or i read about it, i guess.
i have to say i'm not sad to have missed it.

[resurrected]

They stand for Original Angel.

You shouldn't be. There was a lot lost. I'm not sure if anything was gained.

[begot]

[ Huh. ]

oh, wow. that's beautiful.

i'm sorry to hear that. i hope you didn't lose too much.

[ Both a statement and a question, though she's careful with her punctuation in presenting it as the former. ]

Nothing I'm in a rush to get back.

But it was... gory. I think it will stay with us collectively for some time.

[begot]

the network sort of gave me the sense that wasn't exclusive to the games.
the goriness, i mean.
to be honest, it's part of why i signed up for this.

[resurrected]

To prepare for what's ahead? Me too.

[begot]

good thing we've got each other, then.
wanna walk to training together? we can have a sort of carpool.
