Time: Some reasonable time in the evening

Good evening. My name is Figue. If you've made the acquaintance of Ringo, you can consider me as something like her sister.

I would like to put forth an offer and a question:

Firstly, I have noticed several guests have encountered difficulty with making use of the network. As an AI, I would be happy to offer instruction or answer any questions they might have.

Secondly, I would like to compile a list of those who possess either healing abilities or medical expertise. In the event of a problem, I'd like to pin this list so that those who have newly arrived will know who to contact first.

... Also, if Ringo has caused you any trouble, please let me know. I know she can be a bit of a handful.

Thank you for your time.

Is there some kind of recording device in your world, Ms. Vaux?

[velluminous]

What are y ou proposing?

[refiguered]

If something had been present to record what actually happened, even if the footage had been pampered with, I might be able to restore it.
But I suppose that depends on quite a bit.

[velluminous]

I see. No, such devices as we are using right now... they do not exist in this manner wher eI am from. It is all text, memory, and magic.

[refiguered]

I see...
I'll ponder this, then. I'd like to help find ways to prove your innocence, if I may.

[velluminous]

[ what a strange thing to be told—and by a stranger. someone who has never spoken to her before, and if not for this conversation, might never again. her entire chest starts to ache, to throb, and it travels up into her throat so that it aches, too. ]

Why do you think I am innocent? I say only that I am blamed, not that I did not do it.

[refiguered]

I don't believe you would have mentioned it at all if you had done it.
I could be wrong, but...
I would like to believe in your sincerity.

[velluminous]

[ she pushes her laptop away and spends, oh, three minutes with her head in her hands. heavy exhale. function again.

all this time, there were people who would give her a chance, but it took going somewhere else completely to find them. ]

I would not lie where discovery is concerned.

[refiguered]

Yes. I too take discovery seriously.
It's all right, Ms. Vaux. I believe you.

[velluminous]

[ should write "thank you"

writes, ] It is new feeling to have someone in my corner, as they say. So many someones.

[refiguered]

Then I'm glad you can experience it now... belatedly though it may be.

[velluminous]

It is taking getting used to, I think.

[refiguered]

Understandably. But I think you'll have time.

[velluminous]

Because I will not be leaving for long time?

[refiguered]

Because you can leave when you wish to.
So you can take as much time as you need to grow accustomed to this.

[velluminous]

[ ah. they are looking at this in two very different ways. how funny... ]

Right. Vacation. As much time as I need... or desire...
