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.]

... 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.

It takes two to friendship! Or, more than two. You know what I mean.

More the merrier, huh?

There's no such thing as too many friends!

True.

So, next one?

If you're ready for it.

[ what could possibly go wrong ]

I think so. Things have been good so far, if kind of weird.

[In the memory goes and-]

[YEAH OKAY, HE NEEDS A MINUTE BECAUSE FUCK THAT PANIC ATTACK. Excuse him as he leans against the wall and just tries to get his breathing back under control.]

[But hey, there's a familiar face.]

[ wh ]

[ holy shit ]

[ holy shit what ]

[ tears her eyes away from the screen to focus on dusk, reaching out without actually touching him ]

Dusk!

[Much like he did with Kaito]

[Holds up a hand.]

[Though he's asking for five, because it's Been A Bit since he's hand a panic attack.]

I- Okay.

[ Okay. She can do that; she can keep calm and wait, if that's what he needs to feel better. ]

Take your time. I'm not going anywhere.

[He nods and he's just.]

[Gonna force himself to breathe, calm down his racing heart, get himself together because GOD that was the worst kind of rush.]

[In]

[Out]

[In]

[Out]

[And after a few minutes, will push away from the wall and just take a seat.]

Fuck.

[ It's hard — so damn hard — not to try to take his hand. To keep her distance. But she does it, because the last thing she wants to do is make this worse for him. ]

Do you want to talk about it? Or something else …?

[ She wouldn't fault him if he needed a distraction first. ]

I'm not even sure what to SAY. I don't know why I panicked like that. I just....did.

To be honest … I don't know if I understood even half of what was going on there. It looked like a lot. [ Understatement of the century. ]

We could get some hot chocolate, if that'd help.

....it would, yeah.

[Help ground him, at the very least.]

Gotcha. One cup of Faito's best ever hot chocolate, coming right up!

[ She stands - and hesitates, glancing between him and the kitchen. ]
