...Good. You deserve something that makes you happy. To do what you want. Even if it feels strange to have any options.

[serrata]

Isn't it just? It's strange to think just how long we were just sitting around and waiting, not really able to do much of anything. Now we can do anything we like.

How about you, Mai-chan? How have things been going?

[nojohnyouare]

...

[Mai thinks about it a moment, staring at her tea.]

All right. Still studying. Sometimes things change, but being alive... I think it's good.

[serrata]

We definitely get more done than the alternative.

[ Black humor! It's how we cope. ]

Have you been settling in well enough? I bet it's funny adjusting to being back in your own time after how far ahead we were.

[nojohnyouare]

Sometimes. More pagers. And dial-up. But some places have high-speed now. What about you.

[serrata]

It's not been... too bad. I'm only a few years ahead of my own time, so I had a bit of a head start on getting used to things. So I've been settling in with that – it's just names and places I get mixed up on sometimes, out of habit. But no one's teased me for it too</i? badly.

[nojohnyouare]

Differences between worlds. It makes sense. ...I wonder. How many small ones we haven't noticed.

[serrata]

It really does make you wonder, doesn't it? It's a bit harder for me to tell since – well, it's not like I can go back to mine and check. But I bet we'll start noticing more and more things as you start catching up with our time.

[nojohnyouare]

Maybe. Most people from my world would say it was ordinary. So... Difficult.

[serrata]

Most places are ordinary until something out of the ordinary happens.

[ Not that Yuuri Wakasa, survivor of a zombie apocalypse, would know anything about that, of course. ]

I guess it's just a matter of hanging on and seeing what that something ends up being.

[nojohnyouare]

Some things even I don't know about. Time travel. And other worlds. Even for me, those are just rumours at home. So you're right.

[serrata]

You know, we're lucky we've been able to keep such a tight lid on it, aren't we? Being a celebrity in one universe is more than enough for me, I think. The last thing we need is a whole bunch of other ones heralding us for teaching them the secrets of time travel or whatever else we might've ended up letting slip.

[nojohnyouare]

Or saying we made it up. Also likely.

[serrata]

[ She huffs out a little laugh into her mug as she takes a sip of tea. ]

Oh, you're probably right there. Though I suppose if we really got it into our heads to prove it, we'd probably find some reckless way or another.

[nojohnyouare]

...Don't end up on the news.

[Is she trying to make light of what happened? Is she serious? It's honestly hard to tell with this one.]

[serrata]

[ That gets another laugh out of her. ]

Oh, don't you worry. I'm quite happy just being a normal everyday college student, thank you very much. I'll leave popping up on intergalactic TV to Dad and all the others.

[nojohnyouare]

[Mai gives a small nod of approval.]

He seems to be having fun.

[serrata]

That's certainly one way of putting it. You think by now everyone would've had their fill of being on TV, but I guess not...

I suppose acting isn't exactly the same as what happened to us, though.

[nojohnyouare]

Because he can control what happens now. Maybe that's good.

[serrata]

[ dryly: ]

Let's just say that "good" isn't exactly the first word I'd associate with his acting.

[nojohnyouare]

........

[laughing? maybe. maybe that was just a cough. it's hard to tell that too.]

He tries his best.

[sure.]

[serrata]

He's definitely enjoying himself, at least. And it keeps him out of trouble.

[ ... as far as she knows, anyway. She wouldn't put it past Ardyn to be stirring up shit and just not telling her about it so he doesn't get yelled at. ]

[nojohnyouare]

Out? ...Celebrity gossip magazines, though.

[serrata]

... Mostly out of trouble.

[ Thaaaat's more like it. ]

And gossip magazines aren't really that bad, are they?

[nojohnyouare]

...Relatively. No murder.
