Who: Everybody!
When: Day 14, morning
Where: Public Lounge

[Good morning, Aurora. Things seem peaceful, don't they? But, well, there is a terrible doom brought upon this train. Maybe you noticed it near your
car. Maybe you felt a terrible presence in the wee hours of the morning. Maybe you just wanted to get breakfast in peace. But anyone going through
the lounge today will find themselves presented with something strange and terrible.

Stickers.

They're bright. They're sparkly. Naeva has an inordinant amount of them and is sticking them on anyone and anything she can get close to. If you ask, she'll probably
let you pick one out. Or maybe just snatch a sheet from her when her back's turned.

And hey, if you're not here for stickernanigans, maybe you still have some memories to broadcast? It's a beautiful morning for a beautiful mingle!]

... Yes, that's right. Thank you, you're very cute as well.

[bad_crowmance]

I'd prefer handsome-- but I'll take cute.

[unaffective]

Ah -

I suppose it's true that men do tend to dislike being called cute... Any word you feel suits you best is likewise acceptable for me.

[bad_crowmance]

Cute? Pretty? Hot? A total babe?

[unaffective]

Whether it's cute, pretty, hot, or "a total babe," yes. Any is fine.

[bad_crowmance]

All of 'em suit you. Well, I'll keep that in mind.

1/3

[unaffective]

- Oh, I see! Thank you, you as well.

[ wait.

wait what does that mean

he can probably tell she's like. actually processing what he's said to her - much belated from the response her expression goes conspicuously blank, pensive ]

[unaffective]

[ and then she flusters a bit, unsure what to do with this information? buddy? ]

- I-Is that so...

[bad_crowmance]

[ That's cute, she's cute. ]

Yep! Though actually, I'll stick with "handsome," "hot," or "good-looking" for myself.

[unaffective]

Well - thank you. I'm grateful to hear you think so.

[bad_crowmance]

Of course I do. Though the way you're reacting, I'm getting the impression you don't hear that often enough.

[unaffective]

I can't say that I have, particularly... certainly it isn't something I'm unfamiliar with, but were I to consider the most prominent instances as of late, it would have been my brother. Though it's of little importance to me, besides...

Thank you, Crow.

[bad_crowmance]

Your brother calls you a total babe?

[ That seems weird. ]

[unaffective]

- No, of course not!

[ swts ]

Rather - if there's something endearing about my appearance or behavior, then I'm certain that he would remark that it was lovely or cute, or consider it so...

[bad_crowmance]

Oh, well that makes more sense. So I take it you guys are pretty close then?

[unaffective]

Yes - ah, well, that is -

There's only him and myself, so we're living together currently... of course, for me to speak to his thoughts would be impossible, but I may claim that my affection for him runs deeply, at the very least - if little else, he has offered me his support without pause -

[ speaking of pauses, there's a short one, a little self conscious ]

- Ah, though I've begun to digress somewhat... he's a skilled cook as well.

[bad_crowmance]

Oh you live with him-- so he's here too, then?

[unaffective]

- Ah...

... No, rather... prior to my arrival in this place, we lived together...

[ except thinking about it she realizes that's probably actually just the norm. for siblings at their apparent ages to live together. hm ]

While he isn't here... for his sake, as well as that of each person present in this place, that our worlds are seen restored - I will put forth my utmost efforts to that end. Certainly I would like to see him again, but of greater import than that are our current circumstances.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow shrugs slightly. ]

Honestly, even if you did just wanna do it to see your family again... so what? A reason's a reason, and it all works out to the same thing in the end.

[unaffective]

That's a bit selfish, isn't it...?

[bad_crowmance]

Everyone's selfish, it's just a matter of how willing they are to be honest about it.

[unaffective]

[ just kind of stares at him for a bit

she can't like,

say that's wrong, especially since her actual intent is pretty selfish and she just feels like her brother would want her to be good, but the like

implication that she shouldn't feel bad about it?

??????? ]

[bad_crowmance]

I'm only working off my own gut instincts, but I think it's better to be honest with yourself than it is to try and be some paragon of virtue and goodness. I mean... unless you're a mass murderer, in which case don't be honest with yourself.

[ He waves around vaguely. ]

Not that wanting to help people is bad, of course. I just don't think it's wrong to be selfish.

[unaffective]

Oh my...

[ ahaha, ]

That's certainly inspirational. Although those were my honest words, your intent is doubtless something deserving of praise. Thank you, Crow.
