[09:10] RAJANI: -she enters the bl0ck she shares with 0siris, keeping an eye 0ut f0r this f0rt-

[09:11] OSIRIS: -When she arrives, their block is in shambles. Sheets and cushions are everywhere and this is an elaborate fucking fort. If she pokes her head under one of the sheets, she'll see him typing away on his husktop with a pile of junk food and soda that is entirely too sugary.-

[09:12] RAJANI: -imp0ssible t0 miss. it's actually impressively intricate, and rajani is intrigued t0 say the least. she p0kes her head underneath 0ne 0f the sheets t0 find him 0n his huskt0p, and it's then that she enters it c0mpletely and takes a quiet seat next t0 him-

[09:14] OSIRIS: How'2 2quiidmariie Antoiinette? hehehehehe -Floats a cheese puff into his mouth-

[09:15] RAJANI: frantic t0 say the least. n0t well. i'm just trying t0 keep her fr0m making a f00l 0f herself. since that w0n't help us at all. n0t yet, anyway.

[11:45] OSIRIS: IIt kiinda doe2.

[11:45] RAJANI: it matters just as much as my current p0siti0n d0es. n0thing m0re, n0thing less.

[11:53] OSIRIS: Okay but what you do actually matter2 2o you wanna try that agaiin or are you ju2t tryiing two conviince your2elf of 2omethiing?

[11:55] RAJANI: i d0n't see h0w it c0uld matter any m0re than it did bef0re.

[11:55] RAJANI: i was playing a r0le, and i am still playing a r0le.

[12:00] OSIRIS: Maybe you're really gettiing iintwo your role?

[12:01] RAJANI: i d0n't kn0w.

[12:21] RAJANI: i supp0se y0u're right. at least slightly.
