Mundane, it's barely been a week since you first saw my canon... Why have you already made a journal for me? This kind of impulsive behavior. Did you think before doing this?

Listen to me... I sound like Re-L. But honestly, I know you have a lot on your plate already, what with writing that application for the glass girl. And I know the prospect of sending me to a place where everyone I know has already been there for a long time frightens you so... You don't have to bother with me.

[awakenings]

...I suppose I'm glad to see you too, in some sense.

You said your mundane had plans for you. Is that right? Is she really thinking about sending you our way?

[proxysproxy]

[yaaaaaaaaaaay.] She's... contemplating it. Not right away but perhaps, in a few months.

[awakenings]

And you think she shouldn't bother with you? Why, just because she's nervous about potentially bringing you here?

[proxysproxy]

It's hard to explain. I wouldn't want her to blow her chance with me because she spread herself too thin. Especially since I want to go. Mostly, I think she should give it time.

[awakenings]

[That...actually seems to sway her.]

Smart of you.

[proxysproxy]

[Praise from Re-L! :D He rubs his finger over his nose and looks bashful.] Thanks.

[awakenings]

[Ugh, stop it with the face. She's not sure whether she should be glad he's just as he always is or exasperated. Honestly.]

Your presence would be welcome, though I have to warn you: you were a garbage collector last time you were here.

[proxysproxy]

[Vince is hoping for glad.] A garbage collector? Honestly that doesn't sound much worse than AutoReiv disposal.

[awakenings]

[She is, honestly.]

You'd be picking up half-eaten food pieces, anything ranging from rotting items to leaking and used toiletries. It's unsanitary.

[proxysproxy]

I wouldn't have to pick up where "I" left off, though, right? I could always find a different job.

[awakenings]

You can do whatever you'd like, frankly. If you can find a job better suited to your skill set, then you should take it.

[...oh, that was toeing the line of being serious and sarcastic, sorry.]

[proxysproxy]

[No no, that's classic Re-L, and he's a sucker for her even when she's being mean.]

Maybe I can find a job as a mechanic.

oh, if you want, since it'll be a while since you app, I can make you icons!

[awakenings]

Oh, yes, just what we need: a Proxy mechanic.

[But--]

...It'd probably suit you best. You could make quite a bit of money that way.

Would I ever! By which I mean, yes please!

[proxysproxy]

I don't see what my being a proxy has to do with anything.

o7 I will set to work on them!

[awakenings]

I was being facetious, Vincent.

Think about it. You'd be a god hiding in plain sight, doing manual labor.

<3333 The next app cycle isn't for another month, anyway, right?

[proxysproxy]

Can I really be called a god in someone else's domain?

July 1st, yep! June 15th is when reserves open and there'll be a test drive meme

[awakenings]

I... I don't know.

[Here's where she looks almost uncertain.]

We might be the future of that world, Vincent. It's an island on Earth, after all. And with you and Proxy One there--

[proxysproxy]

If that's the case, maybe we can find out what was missing, and do it right next time.

[awakenings]

[Those were the magic words, Vincent.]

Exactly what I was thinking. We can fix the world this time and make sure our future never comes to pass.

[proxysproxy]

[This is why he loves you, Re-L.]

It may take centuries to get to the point where we can make a significant difference. In the meantime I can concentrate on convincing him.

[awakenings]

You have the time. You're immortal.

[There's a pause.]

...and I think I am too, with these powers that the Core has given me in that city.

[proxysproxy]

Of course. [Have a double-take.]

You're immortal?

[awakenings]

Daedalus thinks I'm turning into a Proxy.

[proxysproxy]

Oh. [Looooooooooooooooong silence.]

[awakenings]

[What is with that face.]

Vincent.
