5th Time in Text

how many times have you gone back quote unquote home?
this would be my second time going back
also how long do you get sent back for
both times for me it was like a fucking month
god a fucking month of this shit where you have nothing to do
do you even realize how boring that is?
its like making angels in the fucking ground pretending its actually fun
i assume making snow angels is the shit
but tv programming could be a lying fuck
i only saw snow once and we kind of had shit to do
its cold anyways and why the fuck would you like snow
because freezing your ass off is so much fun
but thats not the point
im back i guess

...
it feels emptier than usual

I was gone for a little over a month once...

[Chidori's voice isn't sympathetic- trying to pretend the experience was the same for both of them would be belittling. But she does understand- oh, does she understand.]

I can only remember how quiet it all was. Quiet and dark.

[The latter of which she can't really... stand much. Not by herself.]

Snow isn't so bad if you know how to handle it though.

Yeah...I guess it's pretty quiet and dark. [Kind of like how Derse was and traveling through the outer ring. It wasn't necessarily bad, but after awhile, it became unsettling and overwhelming.

He's going to ignore all that though.]

I grew up in Texas. We don't really learn how to handle snow.

...it's good that you're back.

[As much as this place sucks, it's better than being stuck on a dead planet.]

Texas...? [The syllables are fractured, a little ill-pronounced.] Where is that?

Yeah. I guess. At least people are here. Talking to myself gets dull even if I'm in love with my voice.

America. Did you have where you're from? [Oh, right. Not everyone knows what Texas is.]

I would imagine you'd run out of things to talk to yourself about, wouldn't you?

[She pauses, unsure for a moment if that was the right joke to make, but then carries on regardless.]

Yes, we did- I take it Texas is somewhere there?

You can only talk about how drop dead gorgeous you are so many times before it seems kind of sad.

Yeah. It's the really huge fucking state. I would try and give it a shape, but I can't really think of anything it could relate too

[Dryly-]

Perhaps you should have changed subjects?

[But she doesn't push the joke too far, and hums quietly as he explains.]

How large is 'really fucking huge', approximately?

Can you think of something more interesting than how attractive you might be?

[He's kidding, even if he deadpans.]

I think Texas is like the size of part of Europe. You can probably fit all the islands in it, with plenty of room for more.

Yes.

[She isn't, because sometimes Chidori misses the point entirely.]

...that's big.

[Seriously America, why so much landmass?]

There goes whatever self esteem I had.

[You're the worst, Chidori.]

Yeah. America is kind of obnoxiously big and Texas needs to show that they're the top dog by overcompensating in size.

You should have more faith in yourself.

[She means well, bro.]

Sounds like the sort of place you'd enjoy, honestly.

[She means that in a good way, promise.]
