Where: Jasmine and visitors

[80H is in the common area, making food. She's taken off her bandages, and her elbows look entirely fine, like they weren't shot at. The knees might be okay to assume the same of, but they are, naturally, hidden. She hasn't been out much since the trial, or even before it, honestly, but she's been doubling down on her isolated tendencies. She had to talk to one of their newbies but, after that, it was back to being a hermit.

So it is, perhaps, odd to see her out and about making food, and, what's more, it does not seem to be all for her.]

Ask Randy for the sparks. He was ready to part with two hundred, so it should not be an issue.

I'm not asking other people to give them to me, I'm earning them on my own. That's why I'm asking what's on the schedule.

[fine whatever]

My apologies. Ask Mister Orlando. If there is some itinerary, I have not been made aware of it. I usually keep to myself.

So you just stay here waiting for ... what, the trials?

I do not know what anyone else does. I keep myself occupied.

Okay. So what do you keep yourself occupied with?

Contemplation. I also venture out into the field.

I'm bored out of my mind already and I've only been here for one night. How do you manage contemplation?

Easily.

Very helpful.

You said you venture out into the field?

It is simply something I do. That or meditation.

[and she also replays memories a lot.]

Yes. There is headway being made. You are free to make friends and the like. People appear to get attached, here.

But you don't?

I prefer to be alone when I am able.

That's different from not getting attached.

Not especially. If I prefer to be alone that means I am not as available.

Whatever works for you.

I'll take the food for as long as you're giving it out. I do think we should split chores like cooking and cleaning, though.

[....

She wits for a moment, her eyelids lowering slightly.]

Very well.

Wow. What did I say now? Is everything I say somehow wrong or what?

Nothing. It is a sensible suggestion.

Look, I'm not thrilled about this whole team thing either, but I'm guessing it's either that or stay like this.

So whatever works to get my memories faster, I'll do it.

You need to earn Sparks, but they do not cost them.

Now I'm very confused.

In the case of memories, suppose you earned six hundred Sparks and spent three hundred. It does not change the fact that you earned that six hundred. Memory restoration is concerned with your personal Sparks benchmarks, not with trading your sparks in for them, and you will earn a restoration token per five hundred sparks earned.

Seriously!? So I could use the Sparks for other things, since I'll get my memories anyway?

That is correct.
