[rita is very much not a morning person, but she at least vacates the bed so maya can make it. she's now lounging on the couch with her phone in her hand.]
Morning. [and she slowly gains a little more wakefulness, and seems to remember--] Hey, before we go to class or whatever, there's something I wanna talk to you about.
[she groans...] That's right, your profile mentioned "spirit channeling"...
[said with some derision, but also hesitation, because...]
...
I was... starting to think... the same, maybe...
[and she realizes Maya has no context for how much she seems to be agonizing over this, so she turns over her phone to show that it reads: Coupon for 1 Communication Item.]
[rita's back to staring at her phone, but if maya gets a glance at the screen, she'll see that she's not really looking at anything; she's just avoiding eye contact.]

Yeah... I'm trying to think of how to make it work.... usually, it's just a power.

It's OK if you don't believe me. But I'm saving up my vouchers so I can get it back.
no subject
Can the dorm heads actually do that for you?

[ maya's more just glancing rita's way. ]
A-Anyway... so... you want to figure out what to do with your coupon too, right?
no subject
I mean... I don't believe in any of this crap about life after death, or "what if they're out there somewhere," or... any of that.
But if there's nothing better to do with this lousy coupon, then I might as well try it and put some dumb rumors to rest.
... So I'm gonna try to reach the old man.

[ her eyes soften a little bit, at the end. ]
Do you already have an item in mind, or do you want to brainstorm?
no subject
We don't really have much in the way of communication technology where I'm from, so I'm open to suggestions.
