Sixty-Fifth Theory [Video]

[The video feed clicks on, and Don looks thoughtfully at the camera for a moment before speaking.]

Another Christmas in Luceti.

[His tone is direct, just stating a fact, but somewhere behind it is a note of melancholy.]

This is my third. All of them have been in this house. All of them have been with different people.

[He slides back from the journal, revealing a corner of his winter room. He's been gradually moving into it over the past week, and has more or less taken up residence now.]

I've seen a lot of people come and go. There probably aren't many left who remember when Luceti didn't have electricity.

[He picks up some small bit of tech and squints at it.]

When I arrived here, the drafts were just starting. There were no missions. The Battle Dome didn't exist. We didn't have a farm and there was a desert where the ocean is now.

[He carefully threads a length of wire through a hole in the tech part.]

The buildings were shorter. Some of the stores and restaurants weren't open. [A pause.] I think I'm forgetting things...

[The wire slides through, and he knots the loose ends to form a loop.]

Does anyone remember other things that have changed? Or, does anyone want a history lesson? I'll be here all day.

I don't know... Don't these journals show it to everyone else? [Noooot comfortable with that. Not in the least.]

That's a start, at least. I'll check it out. [If she does write, though...]

From what people say, you can't take it with you, though, right?

On the other hand, it's still practice. And nobody else will see it, either.

I didn't realize she'd set up a version of it here. Where has she been hiding it? I would think it would be difficult finding a space large enough for a game like that.

Strange? Why strange? Is it on account of you being...

Do turtles maybe not do Christmas? I'm not really up on my turtle knowledge.

Now that you mention it, I remember Pao-Lin mentioning that you could code things besides battle simulations in the Battle Dome...

As long as I'm just doing it on my own, yeah.

[It's showing it to friends, or even worse as a school assignment, that she gets caught in horrible writer's block and uncertainty instead.

Should have seen the one where her best friend ran off to marry the school quarterback...]

[That at least eases his heart a little.]

... I wanted a name that... meant s-something to both of us... [Like 'anata' itself.

He turns his hand, then, twining the fingers lightly in Don's.]


... Are there... other names, that you yourself would... l-like me to call you?

I've noticed that sometimes. So I think I'll take your advice about the written journal instead. All I have to worry about then is keeping it hidden from prying eyes.

[She... hadn't thought of that.]

So how do we avoid that? [Not that she has a shot of earning a barcode patch even if someone tells her about them. She has no skills or experience that would help on most missions.]
