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.]

....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. ]

[Considering.] You might be able to. If you used a grappling hook or utilized those shields. Get enough distance for jumps.

I'll add it to the list of things I've gotta try.

Who knows, maybe Felix will be good for something if I've fought him before.

... Maybe.

[ makes a face ]

He seemed like an awful person.

He pretended to be nemesis with Locus and on the side of the rebels. Which means Locus and Felix are part of the pirates both factions were fighting that I remembered about before.

Which means they were probably egging on the fight in the first place.

Hence the ... the dropping the ship on them thing.

[ she doesn't LOVE THAT, actually, but also, it sounds like it might have been a necessary evil ]

I think the ship was more to destroy whatever device would kill everyone on our sides and they were just a side bonus.

...

[ ... ]

[ FLOPS. Against his side. ]

[ hi ]

Well ... I'm glad you guys saved the day.

[Purge is a constant threat, AND THEY NEEDED IT GONE. And keep the Mercs distracted. Freelancers had best chance to Not Die.]

....I am too.

Chorus might have a lot of problems, but....I think I like the people.

You're the type of person who manages to make friends wherever you go, no matter how messed up things are. It's not surprising.

....I dooo seem to do that a lot, huh?

Yup! It's like a special talent.

....huh.

[And yet it feels. Wrong somehow? Like that can't be quite right for Reasons.]

Though to be fair, I'm sure the Reds and Blues were involved in that friend making too.
