[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.]

Any significance to the numbers in your username?

[foxtrots]

Everyone keeps talking about pie. It makes me want some.

[minsu doesn't even like pie that much. meat beats sweet.]

Why'd you change your hair?

[luckyescape]

It's my old AIM name back when that was first a thing. Everyone had numbers on their user names and I've kept mine since then.

[Just because.]

[luckyescape]

[There are meat pies too.]

Right?! I need pie.

[Freya laughs as she runs her fingers through her hair.]

Impulse. I like but I'll probably let it wash out. It's only going to stick around for a month or so.

[jolting]

Your old aim name? I'm not sure what you mean.

[guy who lived in 1983 for decades over here]

[luckyescape]

You know, when the internet first became commercialized... dial up?

None of this rings any bells?

[She must find this man a history book.]

[jolting]

Right, the internet. We don't really use that much in our town.

[foxtrots]

[oh sign him up for one of those.]

I think we sell some where I work. Maybe I should stay late, in case somebody wants some!

[an excuse, he has his own reasons for wanting to hang around there.]

I like it too. It's foxy.

[luckyescape]

Understandable.

AIM is like texting but using computers instead of phones. It's now no longer supported in my world and obviously it never existed here but I've had the same online handle since middle school. The numbers were selected for me, like they assumed that everyone would pick the same things.

[luckyescape]

Oh? Can I visit where you work?

[She really wants pies.]

Right? I can be a foxy lady. [Freya giggles.] I guess the wolf ears don't go as well now, do they? Or maybe they do! [She now has to find ears and try them on again.]

[jolting]

Makes sense. I can see "wolfgirl" being a popular handle.

[luckyescape]

Yeah, I was not a creative child. I like to think I've gotten better since then.

[At least with her ridiculous naming scheme's]

[jolting]

Obviously. You've dyed your hair now. [he smiles, ruffling his own bleached hair]

[luckyescape]

Yes! Dyed hair is a mark of creative ingenuity.

[Freya's lips break into a warm fit of laughter. She doesn't know Victor all that well but she likes him.]

[jolting]

Obviously. And I'm sure it looks nice on you.

[he can sort of see that it's darker, but that's about it]

[luckyescape]

I'm sure I'll run into you some time between now and when the dye wears off.

[Freya will miss her blonde hair in a few weeks so she probably won't redye it.]

It's not like you're a stranger Doctor.

[jolting]

Ah. Well, that's true.

[foxtrots]

Sure, it's slow right now. You can have the best seat.

They might work. And even if they don't, they're still fuzzy.

[did he mention that the "best seat" is within reach.]

[ video un: sage ]

[muskeg]

[ there is a lot in that for him to sort through but, above everything else--]

Huh, I like the hair. You should try purple next.

[ IMPORTANT THINGS OKAY. ]

[luckyescape]

[Freya laughs softly.]

See, I think of everything!

[luckyescape]

Awesome! Best seat sounds very fancy.

[She's eager for pie.]

Am I allowed to wear the ears?

[Freya kind of likes the way it looks and if she's going to be in the "best seat" then she should be fancy.]

[ video un: sage ]

[luckyescape]

You think I could pull off purple?

[Freya is pretty sure her skin is too pale for that.]

[jolting]

[he smiles a little]

This is going to sound strange, but you remind me of someone. She's a wolf girl, too.

[luckyescape]

Oh?

[She does not remember telling him that she's actually a wolf so she keeps that detail to herself for the time being.]

Can I ask about this mysterious wolf girl?

[jolting]

Her name's Ruby. I guess your red hair made me think of her, too.
