[ gwen sounds just a little peeved when she turns on the comm, and a lot more subdued than she was last post, even with the annoyance. ]

Come on, Porter. If you're gonna send me home and bring me back, couldn't you have at least brought me back after prom?

[ she pauses, lets out a sigh. ]

So I'm back. Hi. [ slight hesitation ] No one important left while I was gone, right? And we're not, I dunno, having a weird alien cat invasion or anything?

[invoking]

[ Clears his throat. ]

... There have been too many cats on the Network lately.

[candidly]

Not a cat fan?

1/2

[invoking]

No.

[invoking]

I don't like them. They're not even useful!

[candidly]

Most pets aren't useful.

[invoking]

Dogs can be if they're trained well.

And I suppose most farm animals.

[candidly]

Don't farm animals smell?

[invoking]

Cows provide milk. Horses can do heavy lifting.

[candidly]

And...?

[invoking]

So they're useful.

[candidly]

Not if you want soy milk.

[invoking]

Soy milk?

[candidly]

Milk made from soy beans.

[invoking]

That sounds a little disgusting...

[candidly]

It not that bad, but it's not as good as actual milk.

[invoking]

Anyway...

When did the porter send you back?

[ He doesn't keep up with the network often... ]

[candidly]

Thursday-ish? I think? It's been a while.

[invoking]

Welcome back... I guess.

[candidly]

Thanks.

[invoking]

[ Pause. ]

What's prom? A dance?

[candidly]

Yeah, it's a dance at the school.

[invoking]

And you want to avoid it?

[candidly]

Oh, yeah. I'm not a prom fan.
