UU: oh!!!
UU: oh oh oh oh oh oh!! oh!!! ^u^
UU: my colombina! well, yoUr colombina now!! oh, i'm so pleased yoU like it!
GG: :D
GG: Well, I will admit that I'm not as up on the fundaments of post-Renaissance Italian improvisational comic theater as I'd like to be.
GG: But I don't know. She seems fun, spunky, clever, and original, and if a dear friend gives you a symbol plucked straight from her dreams, it makes you want to take up the symbol that much more, right?
UU: trUe!! too trUe!!
UU: hmm, yoU know, looking at your sweet little wink is reminding me...
UU: i dont know why it elUded me at the time.
UU: there was another poster in the dream, on the other side of yoU.
GG: Another poster? Oh god, don't tell me it had Betty Crocker on it. I've had enough confrontation with my lascivious inner demons for one day.
UU: lol no yoU're good! it has almost definitely nothing to do with your poorly kept secrets~
UU: it was... well, rather than jUst describing it, lets see if i can show you.
UU: lets see... we'll Use an online image search...
UU: enter our search string... maUrice sand... tUm te tUm...
UU: pUll Up an image editing program...
UU: deploy the fill tool...
UU: ooh, yikes. Ugh. maybe if i tweak the tolerance?
UU: nope. whatever.
UU: fUck it we ball.
GG: Wow, I even get the narration of the image's production process! What a treat.
UU: aaand... voila!
UU: there you go. that's the other thing i dreamed. sorry its so shitty, haha.
GG: Gosh! Um,
GG: How mysterious indeed, er,
GG: She's not, ah,
GG: Covered in blood, is she??
UU: no! no, the Uh, fill tool bled throUgh a little bit more than i was expecting. imagine a sUrprisingly orderly and elegant color distribUtion across her diamonds, instead of what yoU see.
GG: Do you think it means something? The way that dreams sometimes do?
UU: hard to say.
UU: sometimes the meaning of dreams and omens is Unclear to Us, and then all at once, it comes into perfect view, like the hazy cloUds parting for the moon.
UU: or maybe it's jUst a cool bit of imagery and we are more the fools for looking for meaning or order in the realm of fUnny Ur-clowns and gaUdy harleqUinas.
GG: Well, maybe I'll wake up one morning with a gaudy Harlequina on my doorstep. If so, I promise to display her proudly next to my Colombina, and take an even cuter selfie.
UU: hooray! ^u^
GG: Anyway, thank you for hearing me out. Please don't hesitate to talk to me, I want to be here for you, especially now that I understand better what you're going through.
GG: For now though, I'm going to go through the window. Seek out the dead. See if I can't work a couple of resurrections in before dinnertime.
GG: Heck... if I'm lucky, I might get to help two Calliopes in one day!
UU: oh... yes. yoU were attempting to do that, weren't yoU... to bring back the other me.
UU: ...jane.
UU: maybe we shoUld... have a talk aboUt that.

>Have a talk about that.
