[ How do you unwind after several hours of seriously intense socialization? ]

[ Do you, perhaps ... mingle? ]

You were all a team together, right? A team full of amazing space warrior secret agents. [ When you're working with people like that, you have to be able to trust and rely on each other ... she'd hope that means being friends with them, too. ]

[ Squeaks and nudges him back, lightly with her elbow. ]

As your friends, it's our duty to be concerned. [ And to give you shit. ] Whether you've been in one recent ordeal or a whole bunch of them. Besides, you've been busy since you got here.

That's right. I mean, you can work with people you aren't friends with. But at that level, it'd be real hard to not form friendships. Because you really do gotta trust people to have your back when you need it, to want to do their best to keep you alive. Even if they sometimes kick you out of windows.

Better than having an existential crisis, right? [He's joking. Maybe.] Though now I have to tell a lot of people my name because I figured it out so late....it's Dusk, by the way. Which I'm going with because pretty sure Wash isn't my real name considering the US state theme.

A little defenestration between friends never hurt anybody.

[ Ohh, his name though! ]

Dusk is really nice! It suits you. Not that Wash is bad or anything ... it's just, like you said, it sounds like a code name, and if your team has a theme it wouldn't fit. [ Pauses a beat. ]

Maybe save telling everyone until tomorrow, though. It's getting pretty late.

[He laughs.] True. She wouldn't have gotten far if Maine really refused going out the window. [At least not so easily.]

Yeah. It does explain why I think team names are important though. I'm sure to having at least one code name. And I like fitting with the theme, we're all times of day.

I will, I will. Just gotta remember to tell people when I talk to them.

Pfft, yeah, I could see that … he was huge. [ And heavy-looking. Very, very heavy. Like a solid brick wall of Man In A Fancy Space Armor Suit. ]

[ …! ]

Ah! Idea! You could get a t-shirt or a hat with your name on it, like, "Hi, I'm Dusk." That way you won't have to tell anyone, you can let your clothes do it for you! Or badge. Problem solved. [ Nods sagely. ]

It's too bad Ginger doesn't have a theme, though. Rean and Rufus are both their real names. Maybe if we get new people ... I could name them all after sweets.

That's a team heavy for you. He had a left of trust in Carolina and made that save too. [In a car was definitely over comms.]

Get one of those stickers. Maybe get a pack for future newbies.

You should. That's be cute. [Pause.] Start with R sweets. See how long until Rean and Rufus notice.

Carolina seemed super cool. Like, scarily cool. [ SO COOL. ]

[ R names, though. R names, R names ... ]

Rocky Road, Reese's, Rainbow Cake, Rice Krispies ....

Yeah, she was pretty cool. Seriously, that plane bit was showing off.

Rice pudding, red velvet, rum cake, raisin oatmeal, rhubarb pie, raspberry tort.

Red Velvet would be a super cute name! Raspberry Tort, too, or Rasberry or Ras or Berry ...

[ Oh no, now she's seriously considering it. ]

Or Cocoa or Mallow!

[He chuckles.] Sounds like you have a theme right there.
