[ She opens the bottle and pours them each a glass. ]

From what you've said before, I can guess why.

[ She picks up her glass and has a sip. It's good stuff. ]

[abrightboy]

Yyyeeaaahhhh. [He tilts his glass towards her and then takes a sip as well.] Was eighteen a good year for you, though?

[pitofguilt]

Mmm, mostly. Except for the part where I was in a plane crash and stranded in the wilderness with my team for nineteen months.

[ nbd man everybody back home knows it happened ]

[abrightboy]

That was then? When 18 year old you was here... was she from before or after the crash?

[pitofguilt]

Yep. [ Another sip. ] After. She'd been there about a month.

[ So, before all the really horrible stuff started happening. ]

Thought she was tripping at first, but she adapted.

[abrightboy]

This has to be better than that was.

[pitofguilt]

Well, for one thing, I'm not afraid of starving to death here. Or exposure, or wild animal attack.

[ Or injury, or infection, or any of the seemingly endless number of things that could've killed them out there. ]

Then again, we didn't have to worry about superpowers or having our heads fucked with so we forget who we are, so...

[ She makes a weighing motion with her hands. ]
