When: day 57, afternoon
Where: anywhere it's a mingle

[This is a mingle but there is a comment in a Chain Chat to the whole train!]

Rean: A while ago some of us were discussing a festival where every team puts on a production, game, booth, whatever, maybe based around team bonds or interests.

What do people think? Maybe it's a good time to to talk about it again?

[Feel free to discuss with each other! Or just mingle as usual.]

Didn't think you could just remember feelings ...

[ Blinks up at him, looking at him looking at her. ]

What? What is it?

I didn't either.

It's...something's different?

Something good different?

[ He doesn't look like he suddenly hates her guts. ]

Or just ... different-different?

....different-different.

[It's a mix of feelings that is hard to describe.]

Huuuuuuh ... how mysterious!

But I guess that's fine, as long as you don't suddenly see me as a mortal enemy.

D'you have more? Memories, I mean, not feelings.

No! No, not at all.

....do feel like I want to train you with more sparring?

I'm always game for sparring! Especially with you.

We'll work something out.

How about this time I try for a memory where I actually remember something? [TOKEN IN.]

[So how's that Carolina crush?]

[ hhhhhholy ]

[ holy shit ]

[ holy FUCK ]

... Wow. [ She doesn't know what more to say than that. Wow. They ... sure did that thing. They sure did. ]

That dick! [LISTEN. He didn't know about Felix.] Though I guess that explains how we unified a civil war....

He is a ... was ... a dick. [ could anyone even survive that ]

[ ... ]

On the bright side, Carolina is the most badass person I've ever seen in my life.

[Boy Locus sure is gonna be a surprise.]

What? Oh, you haven't seen her before? Yeah, she's definitely a badass. Absolutely crazy, but good enough to pull off her plans.

One of the first memories I got was us jumping off a skyscraper.

No, I've seen her before, it's just ... wow. [ SHE'S SO ]

[ SO IMPRESSED /// ]

... And I guess you're a little cool sometimes, too.

....yeah, she is pretty cool. [Smiling fondly.]

Well, I was in my element. Kicking asshole butt, helping people, being annoying.

Yelling a lot ...

[ She shouldn't find the grappling hook thing funny. She really, really shouldn't. ]

You seemed happy.

I have very robust vocal cords.

[He pauses, tilting his head. Its true. Most of his memories, there is that....underlinibg feeling of tension. After whatever happened between Feeelancer nd the Reds and Blues. A sort of fear and a need to have his guard up.]

[Not there. It was him and Carolina and Epsilon (didn't she have two AI?) Working together without hesitation.]

It felt right.

Good! It's nice to see you less ... [ gestures ] Tense? Stressed? You usually seem to be ... at least a little bit.

...yeah.

I mean, I usually have a reason to be stressed, but you'd think saving at least two factions worth of people would be worth the stress.

Maybe it's because we had a really solid plan?

That could be it! Or maybe you just like working with Carolina that much ... [ I mean. Who wouldn't? ]

Or both!

I've worked with her before.

I think it's the plan mostly. A bit maybe with Carolina.

[ Pats him on the shoulder. Pat, pat, pat. ]

You're such a dork.

Considering the other times involved a car flying at my head and skydiving without a parachute?

Let me love having a plan.

You're still a dork!

[ It's just a fact. ]

[He laughs.] Yeah, okay, FAIR.

But at least I'm a dork who can do a cool fight on moving platforms.

Bet I could do that, too, if I really wanted to.

[ Or not, but she'd be game for giving it a damn good try. ]
