Ioan sat, startled, as Dear quit abruptly, leaving em sitting alone at the cafe table. There was a certain peculiarity to that fox's sense of humor, and while ey was slowly picking up on it, the occasional bafflement remained.
Ey took eir time finishing eir coffee, enjoying the view. A thoroughfare. Small crowds --- some generated for effect. Took eir time enjoying a moment's downtime before getting back into the puzzle at hand. Then stood and straightened eir slacks.

Well, at least ey had more information to work with.
"Welcome back," #Tracker said when ey arrived at home. "You have some mail."

Ey frowned, tugged the cream-colored envelope from the edge of the desk and turned it over in eir hands. Simply eir name and tag. Perhaps something about what ey'd been working on recently had piqued some interest on the reputation exchange. Another offer? And yet directly to this instance.
Ey frowned, tugged the cream-colored envelope from the edge of the desk and turned it over in eir hands. Simply eir signifier on the front, sealed flap on the back. Perhaps something about what ey'd been working on recently had piqued some interest on the reputation exchange. Another offer? And yet directly to this instance.
Making eir way out to the deck, ey popped the seal on the envelope, savoring the subtle tearing of the paper where the adhesive held fast. The paper was fine, the handwriting cramped and awkward, but legible and in green-tinged blue ink. Someone had put real effort into this.

Laughing, AwDae stood and gathered eir tux, heading back to the costume closet. Perhaps ey could find something that would fit eir form. Something to take into account that ey was more fox, less human.
Failing that, perhaps ey'd lay down again.
Failing that, perhaps ey'd lay down again. Sleep, perchance to dream.
AwDae wound up in a simple, pleated skirt and a loose cotton shirt, gathered at the wrists.
The skirt fit well with a tail, certainly far better than having eir trousers sag beneath its base awkwardly. It was a robin's egg blue. Nice enough, but otherwise undecorated. Any detail would be lost on the audience. Might as well save, both in cost and effort.

The shirt was made for someone with broader shoulders. RJ might have filled it out, but on the fox's slim form, it was baggy, loose. Again, just a plain white, but ey could hardly complain. It didn't compress eir fur, unlike the tux shirt with its pleats along the front.

It didn't compress eir fur, unlike the tux shirt with its pleats closer fit, with its pleats sewn down the front.
Ey gave consideration as to what to do with the tux. On the one paw --- and here ey was thinking in paws already! So soon --- it was just an artifact. Just bits. Everything was. Eir own body was. Choosing clothes that were 'more comfortable' was only instructing the sim how best to treat eir body. Clothes that were more comfortable were no different from clothes that weren't. It was just how the numbers added up. Just the math of simulated fashion.

Something to tie em back to the world outside this sim, then.
A solution in between, then. Ey found a rucksack that had probably gone with some war-themed production. Drab, dusty, made of thick canvas. It would do well to carry anything that would help, including eir notes ey had made.

Thus equipped, ey padded back to the auditorium. Ey made sure the room was put to sleep, and, on a whim, snagged the one live microphone ey'd found earlier. Ensuring that it was off to conserve batteries, ey added it to the notes. A small token of where ey'd come from.

"Not going to do much without the receiver or board," ey murmured. "Do the batteries even matter? This is all so fucking silly."
Ey shrugged and buttoned down the flap above the pocket. So many questions.
Ey tamped down despair, buttoned down the flap above the pocket. So many questions.
Should ey lay in rations? Food? Water bottles, perhaps? Ey dismissed the thought as even sillier. Ey didn't feel hungry or thirsty, even after so long in the school, so why worry? Obviously eir body had been taken care of. There was nothing ey could do about it from within the sim. All that food and water would do is make the sim tell eir body that the pack was heavier.

As it was, ey was able to follow the street ey would've taken on the walk back to the home ey grew up in and the fog simply receded before em. Ey could never approach it.

The act of walking away from the school, wearing a backpack and heading towards home, was a dredge pulling up the silt of memories. School across the Atlantic in the '90s. Sasha. Dandelions. Plays and productions ey still had memorized.
Had it been a barrier, ey was sure ey would have screamed.
Even now, pacing the street as a fox, not much had changed. Ey had carried eir tablet and few books too and from school in a pack not dissimilar than the one ey was wearing. Even the skirt was not far off from something ey might have worn at the time.

Ey prowled through memories of Sasha, of dating, of becoming better friends than partners.

Ey missed Sasha most of all, now. Together, the two of them would've been able to keep spirits up. Sasha would've been able to figure out the problem with Cicero's voting record faster then ey had, and ey would've been less alone, would've felt less hopeless.
AwDae trudged on toward home, reaching a paw up to snag a handful of leaves from one of the trees as ey passed, feeling the reluctant snap as they pulled loose from the branches. For all the sim's complexity, school in the spring was pretty far remote from London in the winter.
