<p>Codrin laughed. “Tricked?”</p>

<p>“Do not get me wrong, I do not think that she is dishonest about it or that her intentions are anything but pure, but I have yet to meet a single person who has not fallen at least a little in love with May after spending any considerable length of time with her.”</p>
|

<p>Ey nodded, stirring eir drink with the too-large stalk of celery. “That’s fair. And for what it’s worth, yeah, I think she has. I don’t think ey’s ready to admit it yet, but yeah. Your whole clade is like that, you know?”</p>

<p>Why Ask Questions adopted a look of indignation. “Are you accusing me of being manipulative? Codrin Bălan, I would never! All I did was figure out that you really like paper and hand-written notes, invite you out to a bar that would clearly pique your interest, and beguile you into talking about your down-tree instance falling in love over terrible drinks.”</p>

<p>Why Ask Questions adopted a look of indignation. “Are you accusing me of being manipulative? Codrin Bălan, I would never! All I did was figure out that you really like nice paper, nice pens, and hand-written notes, subvert that, invite you out to a bar that would clearly pique your interest, and beguile you into talking about your down-tree instance falling in love over terrible drinks.”</p>
|

<p>“What?” Ey laughed. “Did you really do that?”</p>
|

<p>The offended look slipped into a proud one that bordered perilously close to smug. “Of course. But I really did want to meet you. I really am a fan of this project, and I wanted to be a part of it, if you will have me.”</p>

<p>“Well, alright. I’m happy to hear that other Odists are interested in it. I’ve been asking a few rote questions and then letting a conversation develop from there. Is that alright?”</p>

<p>“Of course!”</p>

<p>“First up, I have yet to check, but did you invest entirely in the launches, or is there still a fork of you back on the System?”</p>

<p>The sudden intensity of her gaze, the drop of her smile, the sharpness of her voice made Codrin sit up straighter. “Yeah. I interviewed him a few weeks back. Why?”</p>
|

<p>“I am just surprised that he agreed to come along on the launch at all.”</p>
|

<p>“He invested entirely, actually.”</p>

<p>“Oh did he?” She smiled, sipping at her drink and wincing. “Well, how about that.”</p>

<p>“Why did you not expect him to be on the launch?”</p>
|

<p>“You met him. He is not the person that he used to be. None of us are, I suppose, but he has lost some core aspect of his being. He lost what made him Zeke when he became Ezekiel.”</p>
|

<p>“It was a pretty surreal experience,” ey admitted. “Was he also a part of the plan for Secession?”</p>

<p>“She and Jonas, yes. We played our silly little game of politics, and then after Secession, we had no reason to go so hard at it, so we simply became friends.”</p>
|

<p>“While I’m on the subject, did you talk much with Michelle?”</p>
|

<p>“Next!” Why Ask Questions said gleefully, waving her glass at em.</p>
|

<p>“What? Oh! Right, okay.” Ey let the thread drop and prowled through eir mental list of questions. “Alright. I talked a little to Dear about what the mood was like before and after Secession, and I have my own experiences from before and after the launch, but I’m curious what yours were. Was the launch exciting to you? Just another day’s work?”</p>

<p>“True Name was to organize Launch as she did with Secession, so I suppose it was a bit of both. We were all excited to have a fun project on our hands, and it was a lot of work, even if my role was easy. When the launch actually happened, we had our own little party separate from the fête that you and yours put on.” She raised her glass. “The drinks were far better.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ey laughed.</p>
|
||||
<p>“It has calmed down since then, as I mentioned. There is little to do, and what remains of our stanza launch-side has started to drift apart once again. We are all friends, but we are coworkers first and foremost, and when we do not have to be at work, we will not be.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“You hang out with other friends, then?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Hang out, drink, go for long walks on the beach, watch plays — did you know that Praiseworthy has put on some really interesting ones? Michelle was a theatre teacher before she uploaded. She put much of that on hold after the whole getting lost kerfuffle and all of the politics that went into the first years after uploading, but still that desire sticks with us.”</p>

<p>“Stepping back a second, you said that True Name was to organize the launch. What did you mean by that?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“I would like to say ‘next’, but I will answer this question, and then perhaps we can just enjoy the day for a little while. Does that sound alright, Mx Bălan?”</p>

<p>Ey frowned, but nodded all the same.</p>
