Who: everyone
When: Day 35 morning
Where: the lounge car

[This morning, or whenever you wake up, you will find that there are delicious smells wafting from the lounge car. Upon investigation, one will discover a beautiful spread of hot cocoa and tea and coffee and many marshmallow animals, ideal for putting in your drinks or simply eating wholesale. It isn't just cats either, but many animals of a similar quality of marshmallow, whatever kinds you'd like. But you may find the warm fuzzies they impart might be a bit more than internal.

In a conspicuous place is a note in handwriting many of you may find quite familiar at this point:

Thanks for your help.

- Hazel

His signature isn't alone, either. There are a couple of others, though somehow they're far less readable? Some are definitely just little drawings. Weird.]

[[ooc notes: 10% furry event!! many marshmallows have no effect, but those that do will instill temporary animal parts up to a kemonomimi level! enjoy your ears and tails, folks. and your newbies.]]

[Sam ears! Same ears.]

[Brickhouse dude with marshmallow and hot cocoa and cat ears will be waving back.]

Good morning?

[He should get to know people, right?]

[Whoa dude is built. He only takes it in for a second before flashing a smile though.]

Hopefully. Hey there, I haven't seen you before.

Makes sense since I just got here this morning.

Which really is a mix bagged, but hey. Chocolate and sugar. So looking up.

Positive attitude, I like it.

I'm Rean, got a name, stranger?

I try. [Outwardedly. Inwardly he's ready for evidence either for or against this being terrible.]

Nice to meet you, Rean. Working on the name thing. [Supposedly Clovers will name him quick. WE WILL SEE.]

Ah. Amnesia huh? That's pretty common unfortunately.

I am getting that impression.

As well as the wide variety in fashion taste.

[Some of these outfits man. And he's in pink overalls with a unicorn shirt.]

Yeah... good news, you can buy new clothes. But they're going to still have pink on them. Not that pink is bad or anything, but you're a bit stuck with the color.

[He's in the standard ginger sweater and cozy look himself.]

I really don't mind the pink. I'm...kind of fond of it, I guess? It's a nice color.

[Then one day he will also remember the guilt associated with pink.] And really, pink is just a lightish red.

But I would like something that's a little easier to move in.

Yeah pink's not bad. You'll just have to coordinate around it.

At least style is totally under your control for buying clothes, so once you make a few sparks you can get an easier outfit to move in.

You must be some kind of active guy. Military maybe?

Maybe something to make it a little more neutral. Less eye catching.

Which is this Spark thing, right?

Yeah, probably. [He gestures to himself and even though it's mostly his arms and ankles that are exposed, there are a lot of scars. Burns and bullets and it looks like something tried to cut off his feet.] There's too much variation in the scars to be from a singular incident. Whatever I did, it was definitely a lot of fighting.

Yeah, for sure. Pretty rough too, from the looks of it.

It'll probably be good if you're a bit tough. Things can get hairy here on occasion.

I'm sure I'm gonna love remembering it all. [Oh, the sarcasm in his voice.]

...do like the thought being able to protect people though.

I think I'm going to like you a lot.

Good news, you can take memories when you want to, so if you ever remember anything too rough you can take a break.

[Oh. He's. Not used to that bluntly? Like ninety percent of people he knows are emotionally stunted, so it catches him off guard a bit.] Oh. Uh. Thanks?

Something about tokens and the sparks, right?

[Get used to nice things said to your face.]

Yeah. I haven't done it myself, but if you earn enough sparks they'll give you a token with a memory that you can use at your leisure. It seems pretty exhausting to remember stuff like that though.

[BUT THAT'S WEIRD? Only family does that.]

....it does sound frustrating.

[Sorry welcome to your new life. ]

I don't know much about your team but I'm sure they'll help out if you need it. Same here though, if you ever need to talk something out I'm always game to listen. We're all in this together. So there isn't any need to take on things alone.

[Ugh, more emotional terrorists in his life.]

[~~It's good for him, especially when he starts remembering.~~]

... [Well, you just go right for his kokoro and his soul deep belief why don't you.]

Well, I don't have a lot to talk about, but I'm glad someone else thinks that way. It's always better when people take things on together.

[Lets be best friends unnamed dude! Rean's just glad this guy also seems kind despite whatever life he's led.]

That's how I feel. I think you'll find quite a few people feel along the same lines, even if some of them are kind of awkward about it.

[Wait until you see his memories because he has a hard time conceptualizing why memories should be private thanks to the AI related brain damage. There was a time kind went away.]

[Though hearing that is helping his anxieties he's been trying to ignore.]

Sounds like a lot of people know what it takes to do a lot of good then. Nothing wrong with awkward, all that matters is getting it together when we need to.

Yeah. I well everyone here is more or less doing their best I think. People disagree but that's normal.

I think as long as we all approach each other with open hearts it's possible to work anything out.

And all that said, you really do seem like someone I'm really looking forward to getting to know. I don't know if you have any idea of things you might like or dislike yet, but it's important to take it easy when you can. So if you want a tour or to just sit and chat, whatever you think might help you settle in, I'm your guy.

[UGH WHY THE SUDDEN DERE TO HIS FACE. He looks taken aback a moment and then he laughs, putting a hand over his face.] You're pretty blunt, huh?

But that's not a bad thing. Can be important someone is like that, it can be hard to be super open. [Its easy for him to be supportive. His being open is a whole other story. He's still got some anxiety he's sitting on, a nagging at the back of his mind.]

People might not always do their best, but that's why people help each other. There's a lot of reasons to hold back and other people can help bring out the best and cover weaknesses. Things like that.

....I like cats. And hot cocoa. But a tour would be good. I did just wake up a bit ago. [Just ignore the bags under his eyes, that's just. A thing for a while.]

I just say what's on my mind.

[But he smiles, getting up.]

For a guy who just woke up with amnesia you have a good sense of things though. You're right. It's only together that people can really cover each other's weaknesses to emphasize all our strengths. I think that's an important perspective.

I also think cats are cocoa are great. And that you look pretty tired, so I'll make it a quick tour.

[Honestly, this guy looks like he needs a nap, but Rean totally understands wanting to get your bearings before relaxing.]

It's not a strength everyone has.

[He's always been adaptable.] I'm mostly following first impulse. I figure if I lived this long through all the stuff that scarred me up this bad, I probably have fairly good instincts.

They really are great.

I'm fine. I don't think I could sleep anyway. [What is a normal sleeping pattern, sounds fake.]
