mingle!

Who: anyone!
When: Day 6, morning
Where: the lounge carriage (or, like, wherever, I'm not your boss)

[What's shakin', heroes? That sure was a trial last night, huh? What's on the agenda this morning-- still exploring, for new folks? Having team talks in light of having two trials'-worth of info on how this stuff is gonna go? Cooking something up in the public kitchen? Taking memories or testing out new powers? Playing with new purchases from the sparks shop? Just hanging out in the lounge? You do you; everyone's gotta find their own path on their magical interdimensional spacetrain journey.]

[Having made a killing between his team winning in the trial and waking up to an event, this scarred-up Thyme is broadcasting not one, but two memories this evening!]

[In the first, Fang sees a girl around his own age (~late teens at the time) seemingly struggling to climb down to the river. He approaches her, grabs her arm to pull her back onto the shore, and says something dismissive along the lines of "Did you think you'd be able to cross it yourself? Pay more attention to your limits. I'll carry you." The girl seems flustered and confused, but gets on his shoulders like he asked, and he wades across the river with fast-flowing water nearly up to his shoulders in places. When he reaches the opposite shore, he lets her down and walks off without another word. cw suicidal ideation: image 1, image 2.]

[And after a moment to blink away his impressions of that-- the second is just a few minutes of Fang sitting cross-legged on the floor of his house, carving an individual rail for a crib. Other completed rails and a mostly-completed headboard are scattered on the ground around him, in a room that's clearly lived-in but a little plain and bare bones.]

[oh, honey...]

Yeah, I thought my impression of you was right. Looks like these prove it.

[grimpa]

[--goes RED]

What?

[crimeson]

You're a good man.

[grimpa]

--Tch! She was just being ridiculous! I couldn't bear to watch.

[two memories and he's unlocked tsun]

[crimeson]

Sure, whatever you say.

Anyway, I should apologize to you.

[grimpa]

[h-huffs but then that registers, and he looks at him, confused]

For what?

[crimeson]

I lied to you, before. I have all my memories, and my name is Randy Orlando.

[friskmanagement]

[It's another guy in Thyme clothes. That means he's a teammate, right?

You watch what happens on the screen. After it's done, you blink and look at him.]

You really crossed a river with someone else on your shoulders?

[grimpa]

[looks down at them...]

...It appears that way. You must be one of the children.

[friskmanagement]

[Your brows fall a little.]

I guess.

[You're kind of touchy about that.]

[grimpa]

My name is Fang. Are you Saber or Smile?

[friskmanagement]

I'm Smile.

[You look over your shoulder.]

Can you see them? Saber?

[grimpa]

[he furrows his brow for a moment, before he remembers that Eliza told him one of them was a ghost]

No, I can't. I'm glad to meet you both regardless, as we'll be cooperating.

[bowtiedbones]

Oohh? Who's she? She's cute.

[grimpa]

--I don't know anything more than you do!

[WHY WAS I MAKING A CRIB]

[bowtiedbones]

So you also know she's cute.

[GOOD QUESTION ZOL WHY WERE YOU]

[grimpa]

That's-- what does that matter?

[bowtiedbones]

It's just something noteworthy~

[grimpa]

[h-huffs]

She should have chosen a better place to cross.

[ghostfromthemachine]

...

An experienced piggy-back giver, I see.

[ where the heck did she come from. ]

[grimpa]

[where the heck DID she come from. also, he's kinda blushy]

...It probably wasn't a common occurrence.

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ cute, ]

Even so! Doing it through a raging river is arguably challenge mode.

[grimpa]

It wasn't too difficult. I knew how to keep my footing.

[a little??? confused????]

this is ancient, I'm sorry

[ghostfromthemachine]

Yes, but not everyone would? I'd certainly get washed away.
