New muse, testing out. Canon is 'The Lizzie Bennet Diaries'. Considering cityofariel.

Oh I get the idea of this, mundane. I mean, I do have a video log.

... And a facebook. And a twitter. And -- okay, okay, look, I like online social mediums! There, I said it! I'm as bad as any other internet-dependent debt-laden near graduate out there.

But I have never, never had a blog, alright?

[CRITICAL LOOK AT MUNDANE HERE. FINGER POINTED.]

That Geocities site doesn't count either!

[Hands waved.]

So what I'm getting at is I completely understand the idea of this place but explain to me again how games work? And then explain to me again why you're considering one?

... Wait, is this LARPing? Are we going to LARP? Because I probably have an actual costume for that somewhere.

Hey Lizzie! [wave!]

I think it's less about us playing parts and more about them playing a part.

[cosplayseveryone]

Gigi! Hey there!

[And now, she gestures as she speaks.]

So they're playing us while we're talking about them? ... That's very philosophical, in a way.

[shippingit]

I believe the technical term is "meta". Really interesting to try and wrap your head around really.

[cosplayseveryone]

So this is what meta means online.

[And now Lizzie reminds herself that she really needs to study more.

All that aside...]

So Gigi, how are you doing? I'm sorry I had to leave in such a rush.

[Not going into why of course but she really hadn't had the chance to apologize yet.]

[shippingit]

You really don't have to apologize. I'm sure you had a good reason to go.

[One she knows all too well.]

How are you though? We really miss you around here!

[cosplayseveryone]

Oh good! Really...

[She pauses there briefly, then smiles lightly]

Well, a lot better anyhow.

[For once she's at a loss for what to say after that though. Oh she has questions but she doesn't really want to just rush right into them... or ask them outright honestly.]

My sister Jane is moving to New York. She found a fabulous new job.

[shippingit]

Really? That's amazing! [She looks genuinely happy for her.] I'm sure it will be a great experience for her.

And what about you? Almost finished with your graduate work?

[cosplayseveryone]

Only a little while left! A few more projects to do, a few more papers to write and then I can say sayonara to all of it.

[She smirks just a touch, tilting her head.]

And hello to paying off all the loans.

[shippingit]

Have you started job hunting yet? Or are you waiting until you've wrapped up your papers?

[cosplayseveryone]

I've been doing a little soul searching actually. Trying to figure out where I want to go, what I want to do with the rest of my life, all of that.

[Lizzie studies her nails a moment.]

I've mostly been watching back through my videos.

[shippingit]

Going for a retrospective? Sounds like fun!

Find anything interesting?
