[she's just hanging out right now. thinking. she's not looking at the video when it comes on]

There's no way to contact the outside world, yeah? I just would like to wish my sisters a happy Christmas. I hope they are alright... Not that I'm worried about them, or anything. They're strong, like me!

...But still.

That's right.

[britainsbiscuits]

[brief pause] I see. You remember your first stay, though?

[video]

[experiencedlove]

[ She nods. ]

I do. As clearly as if I never left.

[video]

[britainsbiscuits]

[England nods] It's hard to get a grasp on her powers... [mumbled, almost to herself]

[video]

[experiencedlove]

The Queen? She's never exactly been easy to understand.

[video]

[britainsbiscuits]

Ah, right... A few people have told me she was a moron. I had the chance to talk to her briefly... I was not impressed.

[experiencedlove]

[ That gets a thin little smile. ]

Sometimes I think she means well. Other times, I'm not sure.

[ The memory-phantoms that had invaded the Gardens a few months back still leave Caprica with a mark of lingering resentment — an emotion she can't say she often feels. ]

[britainsbiscuits]

I suppose. But if she does want to do good things, why does she send monsters into the Gardens? Why does she force pople to kiss under a mistletoe?

[video]

[experiencedlove]

Apparently, the monsters were an accident.

[ But she can't say as much for the mistletoe, and she shakes her head slightly. ]

It's difficult to discern her motives.

[britainsbiscuits]

[hm... monsters were an accident, supposedly. but England can't be positive]

I'm trying to. Carefully. I've been studying the magic here.

[video]

[experiencedlove]

Magic. Is that something you're familiar with from your world?

[video]

[britainsbiscuits]

[she nods again]

Quite familiar. I've studied magic for centuries.

[video]

[experiencedlove]

There's nothing like that where I come from.

[ She pauses, then adds, with no small amount of curiosity, ] Centuries?

[video]

[how sad, a world without magic... England cannot imagine such a thing. she rubs her arm] W-well, yes... I am immortal, you see...
