Aoi is such a good girl

[ she nods and dutifully starts mixing. lucky for him, it's hard to fuck this up. ]

You're making a lot.

[housewolf]

The more I make, the less time I have to dwell.

[gamerbrain]

[ she keeps mixing, very intently watching what she's doing. ]

Internal monologue is important to the narrative, though...

[housewolf]

I can't go back in time, and I can't change what happened.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi could... If God would answer Aoi's phone calls...

[housewolf]

... I hope you get through soon.

I doesn't seem like we have service beyond the base at the moment.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi's phone never has service. But it usually connects to God, anyway...

[housewolf]

Huh...? Phones work like that?

[gamerbrain]

[ she shakes her head because. most phones do not work like that. ]

[housewolf]

Something special about yours...?

[gamerbrain]

Yep.

But... It doesn't work, here. So now it isn't special at all.

[housewolf]

Has it always worked before?

[gamerbrain]

... Mostly.

[housewolf]

Mostly?

[gamerbrain]

God doesn't always answer.

[housewolf]

Kinda like a normal person that way, huh?

[gamerbrain]

Maybe...? But God is God.

[housewolf]

What do you usually talk about when you get through?

[gamerbrain]

Usually Aoi is just saving or loading the game. We don't talk much.

[housewolf]

That... kinda sounds more like an interface.

[gamerbrain]

It's different.

[housewolf]

You know it best.

[gamerbrain]

Sort of. Even in previous games, Aoi can never access the full user interface. Because Aoi isn't the player.

[housewolf]

What do you usually have?

[gamerbrain]

Just my phone.
