She notes that freeze and pulls back, frowning. "You don't sound that good," she says.

[rustyhonesty]

He's definitely been better, that's for sure. "I... I'm still recovering from the Trojan thing. Which is why I'm... also here. Believe, I don't... I don't think you had your hand on it, but since it was the Grid, I... just needed to hear a confirmation from you."

[cupidand]

"The ZODIAC," she corrects him. "But no. No. I didn't pick that for you. It's... more automated than not, honestly."

[rustyhonesty]

"Ah, yeah... sorry." Same world anyway, but yeah, different place. "I'm glad. I'm glad to hear that. I mean, I had a feeling it wasn't you, but I just needed to be sure. And I'm glad I came to ask."

[cupidand]

She nods. "We mostly just pick a few important people that have to get Travelers? Like, it looks like your guy was. But we don't pick the Travelers to get them, we let the the, uh, mechanisms do that."

[rustyhonesty]

"The Trojan I was had some kind of a special ability other ones didn't. Is that a sign of an important person? I seem to be the only one who kept the immunity to electronics, too..."

A pause as he realizes something. "There's something I've been trying to teach a few times, but never seem to be able to. Was Jan also important?" It's more mumbling to himself rather than actually a question.

[cupidand]

"Oh hey, good catch. Yeah, when we mark the ones to have to get Travelers, it lets you guys bring stuff back. I'm not entirely sure why? I mean, it was a long time ago when we ran our game and we'd only just figured out about you. We figured out a little faster," she says proudly. "That's how we won."

[rustyhonesty]

Well that's new. "You mean, you've won Synodiporia before?"

[cupidand]

She nods. "Back when we were the Twins."

[rustyhonesty]

"Just how many rounds of Synodiporia has there been?"

[cupidand]

Psyche starts to slowly count up on her fingers, pausing every few digits to think. "... something like fifteen? Sixteen? It... kind of blurs together. Morty could probably give you a more accurate count."

[rustyhonesty]

"Do you ever get... bored of it?"

[cupidand]

She blinks at him. "No?"

[rustyhonesty]

"Ah. I just thought that ... always playing the same game would be rather boring?"

[cupidand]

"Oh, but it's always changing," she says. "It evolves as we do."

[rustyhonesty]

"Evolves? How... have you evolved?"

[cupidand]

"Well, I used to be apart all the time--although I was always still me? Just, me in two bodies."

[rustyhonesty]

"Oh." Well that's quite a change. "Did something happen to make that happen? The becoming one body, I mean."
