In fact, it wouldn't be a far cry to say that she's completely absconding from conversation as a whole. Even in the cafeteria, she hurries and eats her food, and, depending on the company there, either avoids

*catches Zoey at some point when she's in the hangar*

I take it that there's something on the news that's bothering you?

[mechaotaku]

Oh, X. Hey.

[She sighs, looking annoyed.]

This time of year is never good for me. There's a big to-do having to do with something bad that happened back home, and the government, instead of mourning the people that died, have turned it into a big propaganda holiday so to speak. I'll be fine in a few days.

[messiahfist]

Understandable. Also reminds me of Guy Fawkes Day.

[mechaotaku]

Guy Fawkes Day?

[Katina approaches, looking just a little bothered. She'd try to sneak up, but psychic powers.]

Zoe.

[mechaotaku]

Hm? What is it?

[grandtheftmecha]

You alright?

[mechaotaku]

I will be in a few days. Bad time of year for me.

The way you're runnin' you'd think I had a spider on my face or something. What's up?

[mechaotaku]

There's a national holiday back home in a few days. They make a big deal out of it for all the wrong reasons, too. It pisses me off.

My dad'd probably be rolling in his grave right now if he had one.

[nepasfrancais]

Ah, one of those.

[mechaotaku]

Oh, so you're familiar with this kind of thing, then.

[wetnoodleguy]

What happened, Zoe? Have you developed a TV-phobia?
