tramitem_net | video, morning;

[There certainly aren't many video posts on the network, not that Lisa could find. But it'd be kinda hard to express her present concern otherwise, so here she is, a moving picture complete with worried, slightly stressed drawl, and hair a bit less elegant than her usual composed look. Almost like she keeps-]

Hey. Lisa here. Uh, I know it's kinda sudden, but- has anyone gotten things back? Not just memories, but stuff? When I woke up this morning, there was somethin' on my bedside table. Lock was still set on the door and the window, so I don' think anybody got in, but then-

[-brushing her hair back to one side, showing off (or looking at) a little pink earring, shiny like enamel or something; it looks like a cartoonish rabbit with a shocked expression, blank eyes and mouth open wide, and hanging upside down. Compared to the understated gold she's been wearing in public until now this is fairly different to her norm. After a second, she lets her hair fall back to her side, a flash of pink from the other side of her head proving it's a paired set.]

-these were there. They're cute, I like 'em, but they're not really... me? I think they're hers and I don't know how to feel about that.

[A beat. Then, belatedly:] Oh, and I got a memory too, but I'm not so worried about that. That's fine. Other me knows her way around a bass, and her friends can shred. I'll decide if that's a big cosmic joke later when I'm a little less shaken up.

Uh. I hope everyone's okay. I know it's apparently been a rough day or two on the network. I'll be okay - if anyone needs someone to talk to, I'm here for you.

[Lisa takes a deep breath, before seeming to relax a little, smiling and giving a little wave as the camera feed ends.]

Those earrings are adorable.

You don't remember buying them?

No, I tend toward... elegant but understated, is probably the right description? And I'd remember something like these for sure.

Oh, and hi! I don't think we've met? I'm Lisa- ah, I guess I said that already. [She laughs at herself, trying to decompress just a little bit.]

They are very unique. I would not forget buying them.

Hello, I'm Bitterblue. Have you been to any of the Support Group meetings this month?

Right? These would at least be worth a selfie.

Ah, yeah, I did hit... one? Two? Definitely two. I'm kinda trying not to go to too many of them, but I don't want to completely cut them out, either.

And you obviously do not have the selfies proof?

I do not know what I get out of those meetings. I cannot help but think they are more to monitor us.

Nope. So... I have no idea where they came from. I don't see anything about where they came from on them, but I didn't think I would anyway.

I think I go because it's an easier way to meet people, y'know? I can talk at people here until my voice goes out, but I think it's easier when the other person's actually there. It means more, maybe, and then we can trade numbers and do it the other way. But yeah, they're absolutely to monitor us.

Have you tried searching the internet for their manufacturer?

That is an excellent point. They are a way to get to know people first and set up ways to talk outside the meetings.

I will try to look for you the next meeting I go to.

I haven't, I only just got them this morning. I'll probably try that, though - thanks for the idea, I wouldn't have thought of it.

-and yeah, I'm not really up for what would feel a lot like cold calling people. Walking over with a quiet remark and a tap on the arm, I can do that. So I'll look forward to seeing you there.

I like them. I bet the manufacturer has other cute designs also.

I hope so! I could get used to stuff like this, I think. It's different but it's nice. I just hope they're not some fancy boutique brand that's super expensive for no reason. [Lisa glares off-camera in what is probably the direction of wherever she's keeping her jewelry in her apartment, before sighing softly and shaking her head.] Fashion. If I didn't spend so much on clothes I could afford a bigger apartment to keep them in!

Are you into the fashion of fashion bloggers or do you collect haute couture peices?

Let's call it the second one. I'm more of a "oh hey, that looks cute" when I'm in the store. With a healthy dose of "that's on sale and also looks pretty good" sometimes. I don't buy a lot of jewelry, though? I think that's why I was so surprised. Jeans, boots, jacket, sure, no problem. These are kinda out of left field for me.

We all have our hobbies.

The ear rings are a mystery. Let us know if you figure out where they came from.

Yeah, some more destructive than others. Someday I'll have closet space without a trip to Goodwill to get there. But absolutely, I'll let you know! I'm sure the conspiracy theorists will want to know that anyway. [Which probably includes myself now, she doesn't say aloud but unhelpfully pops into her head.] Maybe we can start a trend.
