[VIDEO] 🔥 TWO

[restinglichface]

[The broadcast opens up on Lup's bright, beaming expression, her mouth balled up to the right in a grin, mischief dancing against her eyes. For those who haven't seen the elf in awhile, she's sporting a new 'do, her usual long locks cropped short to her head, though with a little help from her brother, she pulls off the look effortlessly.

It's honestly the most excited Lup's looked in the past three weeks.]

Sup, nerds. This is your fav evocation expert sendin' out the call for ladies needin' a weekend away. Hadriel life runnin' ya ragged? Need a break from the liches in charge tuggin' ya this way an' that? Just plain ol' bored lookin' at your family's dumb faces?

[The corner of her mouth twitches upwards as she tries to hold back a laugh, before the elf is quickly adding,] --Sorry, Koko.

Then come join me on a trip outside these shitty dunes to explore what the rest of this world has to offer. Any an' all gals are invited. Just hit me up an' we'll get this ball rollin'.

[She pulls the phone away from her face so she can show off a few instagram angles, complete with duck face.] Lup out!

Exploring. [Which probably isn't the most comforting thing to hear from Lup, but cut her some slack. She hasn't died in Hadriel yet.]

Figure we can just go wherever we wanna, see where this world gets us.

[sciencelizard]

[She figures Lup is plenty capable; wouldn’t have made these plans if she didn’t know what she was doing. More than that, she does kind of have… two layers of death to get through to get anywhere permanent. Even if she hardly wants to be responsible for Lup dying or getting hurt at all.]

Uh— yeah! I mean, that makes sense, I, uhm… I was hoping to. Get some readings around the planet. See if they m-match some of the stuff I’ve been studying here, with the Null and the Gods.

[restinglichface]

[Even with a big, scary world out there beyond the city, the elf is completely confident that she can handle whatever they come up against. She's assembling a trip for fun, not for fighting. Most of the women attending don't have much skill in combat and that's just fine. Lup's more than enough to keep them all safe.]

Wellll, this was gonna just be a trip for funsies, no work allowed, but I may be able to pull some strings to let you do a test or two along the way. But no hiding behind your equipment the whole time, Alphy. This is a social trip and I expect you to chat with everyone who tags along.

[sciencelizard]

[Mmmnngh noooo, Lup, pleeeease.]

W-Well— I mean, I’m not, I just— I can’t just go out and not do anything! This could be my only chance to explore this s-sort of thing in any controlled space! If I don’t get some data now, they might not let us go out again, and, uhm… yeah.

[Let her be a nerd in peace!!]

Besides, I… I d-don’t really know any of your friends.

[restinglichface]

[There is no peace for nerds when Lup is around!!!]

Y'know, there's a real easy way to fix that. And that's exactly why we're goin' on this trip, hun. Girls meeting other girls, making friends and, I dunno, something-something sisterhood!

[sciencelizard]

[Honestly, it's good for her, but also: death.]

I mean, I g-guess, but... I dunno, what happens when we get out in the middle of nowhere and I have nothing to say and as it turns out no one really likes me and I don't have anything interesting to say and maybe this is a bad idea, actually.

[restinglichface]

[Then perish.]

Alphy. How long have we been friends?

[sciencelizard]

... A while?

[And jeez, looking back, it has been a... while, huh. August, September? Six months at least.

Dang. People don't usually like her for this long.]

[restinglichface]

And we're still friends, yeah? You trust me when I say I like hangin' with you an' shit, right?

[sciencelizard]

... Yes??

[She's aware saying no would be the Bad Answer, but y'know, eliminating that little voice in the back of her head is much harder.]

I mean, I would like to, uhm... explore, I just don't want to weigh anyone d-down. If you're sure it's gonna be okay...

[restinglichface]

[Lup rolls her eyes with an exaggerated sigh, but there's no hiding the curl of her smile.]

We all want you around, nerd. Just say you'll come an' we'll leave it at that.

[sciencelizard]

[She blushes just a little more, and nods.]

Well, uhm, o-okay. See you soon, then...?

[restinglichface]

Natch. See you and your cute self soon, Alphy.

[and with one last wink, she lets Alphys go, ready to get some prep work before morning done.]
