Report in.

Maybe I'll decide to care.

What?

Who told you that?!

[Not that her breach self and Elijah were sneaking about or anything.]

[therushingsky]

[Oh shit how to answer without accidentally getting his boyfriend killed.]

We made eye contact after the breach and I could just tell.

It's a human pair bonding, biochemical thing.

[justsayyes]

[Jasper narrows her eyes.]

Did you forget I was - ugh - human in that breach?

[Because that might have worked before but...]

[therushingsky]

Yeah, from like, a thousand years ago. We didn't understand the science of it back then, but you didn't just know when someone had been stepping out on you?

[It is THE MOST HUMAN THING IN THE WORLD to think you can smell a cheater. Please let his lie land...]

[justsayyes]

[He probably would've had better luck claiming he'd seen them during the breach.]

I'll count your lying as one more unimpressive thing about you. You can't know... details unless someone talked.

[therushingsky]

Every secret that little town had came through the Dunkin Donuts, dude. That, combined with the weird vibes he was giving off afterwards...

[God fucking damnit, he'll never crack.]

But, back on topic, how did you like taking humanity for a spin?

[justsayyes]

[Yeah, switching to a more believable lie after starting with the less believable one definitely isn't doing him any favors.]

It was miserable. Just like the pathetic existence you have to live every day.

[therushingsky]

What didn't you like about it? I mean, you had a hot boyfriend?

[RHYS DO YOU WANT TO DIE?]

[justsayyes]

Are you kidding?! "Oh, I'm hungry now I'm thirsty now I need to sleep or expel waste products". Your weak organic bodies are so needy!

And he had fish breath.

[therushingsky]

He loves sushi!

Okay but: How nice is it to be in a warm bed? How good does it feel to eat pizza?

C'mon, admit it, it's fun being a person!

[justsayyes]

No. My breach self was only dumb enough to like those things because she didn't know better. I'm the superior version, obviously.

And why are you even defending Elijah?

[therushingsky]

Seriously?

How is not enjoying things a win for you? Would you really rather take being right, over feeling nice?

What do you mean, why wouldn't I defend him?

[justsayyes]

How is being satisfied with your fragile, weak bodies winning for you?

[She doesn't deserve to feel nice. It's better this way.]

He's annoying. Maybe not quite as annoying as you, but only barely.

He told you, didn't he.

[therushingsky]

I literally traded a bunch of my fragile human body out for sturdier parts, but I still get to enjoy eating.

Well if he's so annoying why did you make out with him so much in the Breach?

[Saying nothing...]

[justsayyes]

Only because you're brainwashed to enjoy it for your survival.

That wasn't me. That was a- a fleshy mockery.

[therushingsky]

Isn't that a good thing?

Like, we're essentially programmed to enjoy doing things that keep us alive. Isn't that smart?

Is there not a gem version of that? Like, do you enjoy fighting?

[justsayyes]

Of course I do, I'm a Quartz. More when it's actually a challenge, which not many people here offer.

[therushingsky]

Okay, so what else do you like? What about like-- sports? No one here's about to match you blue for blow, but you might get a run for your money on reaction times?

[some people's entire canon hinges on being fast in quicktime events.]

[justsayyes]

What's the point of those? They're silly games.
