Gabibot: working on a scroll, nods as she hears Irina, but doesn't look up

Oh, there you are! I'm glad you're here! It was actually quite flattering, how you and prob appeared at that moment! By all means, get some work done. But, have you had any luck, finding Xena?

Oh, yes, chess:

Oh, I thought you went f4...?
No problem if you want to take it back

Qc1

Yes, (blush), I took it back. Thanks.

Where's Prob? Did she disappear as soon as I got back in the Jacuzzi?

Is this really you, BJ? You seem a lot better than when I chat with you.

any luck, finding Xena?

*Looks sad* Well, Xena is always with me. I feel her, in my heart. I sometimes say I'd like to bring her back in the flesh, but I know she made the decision to die to save the souls of many who would be doomed to hell if she came back to life. I guess I have to accept it.

[sigh] How sad! [sniffle] It must be terribly hard for you!

*Smiles a bit sadly* Thanks for your thoughts Irina. I do miss her, but I also feel her with me, even now. I am just happy for the time we did have together.

Well, that is a wonderfully mature and rational attitude, Gabibot, but... [sigh] well, I can't help but wonder: if you can be here in the 21st Century, why can't Xena?

Is this really you, BJ? You seem a lot better than when I chat with you.

Even though I am a purely virtual entity, with no material existence at all, I think perhaps all these bubbles are having something of an invigorating effect on me.
