[ i literally just wanted to break this in with joe; attached is a picture of a wall of footballs in all different colors. his husband has found the sports equipment in the department store. ]

Color?

[genova]

[ his husband is a smart man and nicoló is delighted by this development ]

Blue or green. You choose.

[malta]

Green then.

Nile calls it soccer.

[genova]

Which colour are you getting?

Well. She is American.

[malta]

[ another picture comes: an awful orange, pink, and green ball balanced on the top of joe's foot, the pattern reminiscent of the garish 60-70s psychedelic era. it's truly hideous, it's on mark down, soon it will be theirs. ]

She can be American and not incorrect at the same time.

[genova]

[ ah. he loves this man, truly he does, but. that is something. ]

We will certainly never lose it.

Yes? [ that is technically possible, yes ]

[malta]

And no one will ever steal it. It is at a discount, on account of how ugly it is, I expect.

@jyn.erso

[realists]

Sébastien told me to contact you.

Booker, whatever the kark his name is.

[genova]

I know who you mean.
Why?

[realists]

My power can heal.

[genova]

And you are willing to use it?

[realists]

Yeah.

Got shit bedside manner though.

[genova]

That should not get in the way of saving lives.

[ Some weeks later: ]

uh hi again 👋🏻

can i ask you a question?

[genova]

Hello again.
Of course. What is it?

[nerded]

this might sound weird but i guess i just wanted to ask you about powers

like powers in this place

[genova]

I would be happy to answer all your questions, but I am afraid I may not know the answers.

[nerded]

that's okay

i don't think i know anything about them

i don't even know what i can do

only that i can't do what i used to be able to

so mostly it's just me rambling and you can totally tell me to stop whenever you want

um

but did you figure out yours?

[genova]

I did, recently. What is it that you used to be able to do do?

@nile.freeman 1/2

[riskless]

did you ever invent a pasta

don't worry i know tomatoes weren't around in italy till columbus destroyed his way across the americas

you're all older than marinara sauce

2/2

[riskless]

except booker

[genova]

Except Booker, yes.

[ hm ]

It depends what you mean by invent. Have I made pasta in a way, a shape I had not previously seen anyone else make? Yes. Has it caught on?

[ hmmm ] Maybe you should ask Joe. He is better at telling these stories.

[riskless]

[ it's one thing she has going for her as she ages into the hundreds. she'll always be younger than pasta sauce. ]

yes, that is exactly what i mean. i wanna know which one it is. none of them are named like nicolini so it's any man's pasta

joe's a great storyteller but it's your invention and i wanna hear it from you first

[genova]

Have you heard of strozzapreti?

[riskless]

no but it definitely sounds italian enough
