[When Freya appears on the screen she has her usual friendly smile but also bright red hair. Her fingers run through the silky strands a few times before she remembers that she's already turned on her device.]

Hi! For those who don't know, I'm Freya and today if Pi Day! [She's a total nerd and loves this holiday.] If you don't know what Pi Day is, ask Victor. It has to do with circles and math.

You know what else is a circle? Pie.

On the topic of pie, I would like some for Pi Day but I can't bake to save my life and I don't know where the best pie in Quarantine is. So I need your help! Hit me up and we can all celebrate Pi Day together. Any pie is good. I'm not picky. Except I can't eat anything with chocolate in it. There's a whole deathly allergic thing.

[A beat.]

I also dyed my hair red.

[In case it went unnoticed.]

Well, some people like to focus on one aspect of something instead of the whole. A lot of people also forget what they do as kids.

[It's sad really.]

That sounds like letter day. Cool but not what I am used too. [She'll log that away with all the other random information she knows and has nothing to do with.]

Seriously? I feel like everyone can smell nutmeg. Maybe it's just because I don't like it. [Freya sticks out her tongue while a grimace colors her features.] It's not very tasty and one of the ingredients in pumpkin spice. I just add cinnamon instead because cinnamon is awesome!

[Ed has no concept of forgetting what he did as a kid, but that's because his childhood was so unconventional. Of course, he's not immune, there was plenty that he forgot about until it came up years later even for him, he just doesn't tend to realize that.]

It was still called White Day, but who knows why... old habits dying hard, I guess. A lot of people tried to keep a piece of home with them.

[He is making the most skeptical face right now, Freya. Nope, not buying it.]

Not from outside when it's usually kept in some sort of container, no. If just anyone can do it, that's news to me.

[luckyescape]

I do not know. [She admits with a lazy roll of her shoulders. It isn't something Freya put a lot of thought in though now she might do a little research, assuming this place had books on random holidays and their different origins... probably not but it wouldn't hurt to take a look. Curiosity is sometimes a dangerous thing.] Mmm, maybe I'm just unlucky or special. I'll spin this on the positive side and say that I must be special. If I was given a super power I wouldn't want it to be a super sniffer. I'd want to be able to create ice or something. That sounds cooler.

[It was unlikely the moon could have research on every world out there, but even so she'd have a lot on her plate to look up what they did have. Ed might be the type to disappear into a pile of books for days but even he had limits. Holidays just didn't concern him nearly as much.]

You're probably special.

[He'd hate for it to come off like an insult, but also it wasn't that hard to believe that maybe on her world things were different and people could just smell things that easily. At the last part though he pauses, seeming to try to reel in his reaction to those words.]

Trust me, there's nothing great about that, it's pretty limited.

[luckyescape]

Thanks! [She grins at him.] I think I'm special.

[Freya is very confident and has a small ego that helps her do and say very ridiculous things from time to time. The truth is, she knows what she's good at and she knows what she's bad at.]

I guess so but that's a very depressing way to think, don't you think?

[alchemyfreak]

[He can't help the grin at that, despite not realizing how true the statement was. At the next thing she says though his expression grows more serious.]

It's depressing to think at all about the power that nearly got me killed.

[He's not bitter.]

[luckyescape]

You sound bitter. [She is the queen of pointing out the obvious.]

[alchemyfreak]

Nearly dying has that effect on people.

[The most deadpan.]

[luckyescape]

Yes... yes it does.

[Cue awkward silence.]
