[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.]

Is that why her name is Ruby? Because she's little red?

[That sounds cool.]

And you're Victor Frankenstein. Okay, I follow. That's cool. I imagine that the stories are a little different from the people but I get the idea.

[jolting]

Well, I actually don't know if her name is Ruby. That's just what everyone calls her. But she's certainly not "little", and calling her "Red Riding Hood" all the time would be weird.

I'd say our stories are a lot different, but enough's the same from what people are familiar with.

[luckyescape]

Yeah. You could probably call her Red. That's a really cool nickname though if she was pretty then Ruby is better. Did you know that the difference between clear ruby and red ruby is one negative ion? It completely changes the color.

I think that's neat.

[It's just one of the random pieces of information that Freya has learned over the years.]

I'd like to hear your stories sometime though I imagine they're personal.

[jolting]

Yeah, I know that about rubies.

[he shrugs] Read the book, watch the James Whale movie. That about covers it.

[it really doesn't, but close enough... ish]

[luckyescape]

I have done both of those things.

I'd try and suggest a movie or book to describe my life but really nothing is coming to mind.

[She'll have to think on that.]

[jolting]

I'd be pretty surprised if there was one.

[luckyescape]

Really? I feel like there is a book on everything.

I'm sure there is one I can relate too.

[Though it might be a bit depressing.]

[jolting]

Let me know when you find one.

[luckyescape]

I will!

[Freya grins.]

After all, I'd need you to read is so we're even.
