Oh, that's incredible. Being told things like that makes me all the more excited for whatever the future will bring to the people I used to know - they've got no idea how fantastic it will be!
[even to her friends who don't need the same things she does - imagine what a portable telephone would do for anyone's life, actually.]
The future is full of delights, assuredly.

Isn't it amazing? I'm excited that I got this from Sundries. The future is amazing.
The tablet this is connected to also can read text and translate it into braille on the tablet. That's why I delayed it a bit... I wanted to get that program up and running myself with a high degree of accuracy. 99.93%!

[the amount that hearing this spoken aloud was an exercise in patience and perserverance is almost as remarkable as Grace writing it. a reading teacher though - who does she know that's sighted, who has the patience for literacy? this will take some thought.]
I will look for one. Is it urgent?

You should come to Pride. Grace is here, but she seems to mostly be bugging the bartender and trying to make friends.
Also I met her and we talked a couple day ago. That was a thing.

Hopefully it was civil between the two of you.
[which is a better answer than her true feelings of wanting to analyze every nuance of what was said.]
The pride event I've heard of, yes. Her presence is now another reason I am hesitant to come. I don't know what I'm supposed to do at that kind of event, what's expected, and I already know I might get in the way or some accident might happen.

She caught me painting. I did her portrait [Read into that what you will, Helena...]
And no one knows what we're doing here. Sharky bitched me out for stealing a flag. But there's drinks and food. And a few other new passengers. And the married trio is all here.

There's music playing. But less crowded than the Halloween party.
[a long pause goes here, because this is where she has to choose between being a good and sociable passenger or causing concern by trying to become one with the larva plush instead of showing. it's loud and it's going to be somewhat crowded and she doesn't know what she's meant to be doing. and she still thinks an accident is going to happen.]
I'll come for a half hour. But I cannot promise I'll do more than appear.

I will be beside you, the entire time you are here.
There's a line from a song someone played earlier, 'they're sharing a drink that's called loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone'.
Which like. Yes. Awkward together with you anytime always.

[it can't see it, but that does make her smile.]
I won't keep you waiting for too long.
If you see Erin, please tell her I consented to a brief appearance, but not to make a fuss over it. She did invite me, but I wasn't sure whether I would or would not, and told her so.

She’s the one who wanted me to text you. Because Erin’s afraid she’s too Erin at parties for you to take her saying it’s cool seriously.
Somehow I'm not surprised.
I won't make you play messenger, but she's got it backwards. Her being sociable is a benefit. It's centered in me and how I feel about large groups and potentially being a problem but not wanting anyone to go out of their way and it getting complicated because of all that. She's not the factor that has me cautious here.
[after a second, another message comes through.]
This is the first time I'll have been in a large group since that commotion at the bridge.

Ah.
I can tell Erin to eat shit if you really don’t want to come.

I’ll meet you at the entrance to the bar, then.

[Helena had heard who the message was from, and promptly left it to be read the following day, as she was currently handling a very immediate and very French sort of problem. and when that was all smoothed over, and she realizes how many questions are in it, she has to make a decision for her own sanity.]
Some of these may be better answered in person. If you have the time, meeting with me might be better. I plan to look over the tommy bahama this afternoon, so you can find me there.

Grace is there at the entrance at 11:30 AM. She'll wait as long as she needs to; she's ecstatic that Helena agreed to see her.
