[The screen flicks on to Pai's....brightly smiling face? What the fuck?!?! says anyone who knows her. Which isn't that many people.]

Is this on? Ah, yes! Hello everyone!

[She grins and waves.]

My brother got me a brand new tablet! It's so much cooler than my old one! Thank you, brother!

Anyway, I hope everyone's doing okay today! And if you're cursed, just remember that it will all be over tonight! You can make it!

[She makes a peace sign.] Bai bai!

[For anyone who ever wondered what Pai would be like if she wasn't a Contractor, well, the answer is: a silly perky teenage girl who likes to do silly teenage things. Like spending all of her brother's money on clothes, play video games at the arcade, and eat parfaits while people watching. She's a little too shy to outright approach a stranger, but she's eager to make new friends.]

[It looks like Pai. He trace the signal to Pai. But.]

...Pai?

[ He'd almost be happier if the curse had made her a teenager hiding her skinny, pimply, pasty self behind greasy hair and shapeless clothes. It'd occurred to him, over and over, when Pai first arrived in the City, that she might be hit with something like this. But he'd barely anticipated the reality of it. Even when he looks at her, he still can't make sense of it. Maybe this isn't Pai. Maybe this is some vapid clone, sent in Pai's place. Maybe this is Pai's fashionista zombie, the one who ate her last night and took over her soul, polluting it with shopping sprees and frilly miniskirts and the tendency to hit him with her handbag and pout Stop being so meaaaan. ]

[ But of course he knows Pai's voice, even if it's bubbly instead of coolly modulated. And he knows that smile, wide and shining and sugar-edged -- a replica from their childhood. ]

[ Feeling queasy, but not showing it, he prowls the apartment. Knowing her, she'll probably be in the bathroom, snapping cutesy selfies of herself in the mirror. ]

...Pai?

[ Or whatever the hell you are. ]

[Someone else that doesn't seem upset about their situation; Yin finds that very welcoming at the moment.]

Congratulations on the new tablet. [Was that a tinge of jealousy? A flicker of unease? Yin can still put it aside for her curiosity, and she has nothing against Pai, anyway.]

I don't have a very new one myself, so I don't know much about them. I'm barely learning all of the functions of my device.

Hope you're doing well, too!
