Hey, it's Sarah. Leave a message.

[ Oh fuck. Part of her had been wondering if MK had maybe gone home. She hadn't been sure if that would be a good thing or not. ]

Never heard of her.

Beyoncé Knowles, formerly of Destiny's Child, has been a solo artist since 2003, although Destiny's Child did not break up until 2006. She has collaborated with a number of artists, including her now-husband Jay-Z on "Crazy in Love" which won a multiple awards.

Unless you were speaking sarcastically, which I do not appreciate over text.

[coppelganger]

Yeah, I was being sarcastic.

She's not my type of music, but she's alright I suppose. Why?

[ewenique]

I have a hard time with tone in person. It is worse over text.

( Surely Sarah will never have realised the struggles MK has socially. )

As a fan of punk your musical taste is already questionable. That you consider her "alright" suggests a positive opinion of her, despite the difference in genre, and confirms my opinion that her music is objectively bad.

[coppelganger]

[ wait what the fuck ]

"Questionable"?

[ewenique]

( logically, with reading and research which MK has inevitably done, she could say that it is a matter of fans of different musical genres identifying heavily with their genre of choice, perhaps over-identifying, and then condemning other musical genres and its fans as a result.

but that's wrong, obviously, because metal is objectively better to punk. )

hth

[coppelganger]

Well, you're wrong, but thanks for letting me know.

[ewenique]

I am not wrong. Punk music is simplistic.

[coppelganger]

Says a teenager from Finland. You've got no context for punk.

[ewenique]

I went back. I remember the night Beth died, now.

Do you have a context for punk?

[coppelganger]

[ There's a long, long pause (during which Sarah might be puking out of anxiety or tearing her cuticles to shreds or something else, it's a mystery). ]

Yeah, I do.

So what's the last thing you remember?

[ewenique]

Beth told me to hide, and to watch the others. She gave me her gun and walked out the door.

[coppelganger]

I'm sorry, MK.

[ It's all she can say. She's sorry for a lot of things. ]

[ewenique]

I'm sorry, too. It was a long time ago, for me, being here. Do you remember how recently we saw each other?

[coppelganger]

Here? It was at the beach, for the memorial thing.

[ewenique]

Thirty three days ago.

Maybe one day our lives will be less strange. But I think we are alike, you and I. We're so used to strange we don't know how to operate without its presence. Alike and different.

[coppelganger]

I wouldn't argue with you on that. I wouldn't know how to go back to being normal.

[ewenique]

We were not made to ever be normal. We can't return to a state that has never been ours.

[coppelganger]

Yeah, you've got a point there.

[ Then, a few seconds later, before she can talk herself out of it: ]

You should come by the house sometime, MK.

[ewenique]

( For a moment, she freezes. Being involved with her sisters bought them death. Being involved with her sisters saw them die. )

Why? Do you require cyber security systems?

[coppelganger]

No. I just thought we could hang out.

[ewenique]

( She wants to. It's terrifying but she still wants to, and that seems so wrong. )

I don't know how to do that.

I am not good at doing that. Spending time with me compromises people's safety. Talking to me, seeing me.
