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.]

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.

[grimpa]

[oh]

[...huh.]

...Why did you feel the need to lie?

[crimeson]

There are a few people from the same place as me that I wanted to avoid some awkwardness with, since one doesn't remember me and one was... Well, I wouldn't call us allies, before this.

[grimpa]

...Have you come clean to them as well?

[crimeson]

I have, yes.

[grimpa]

Very well. I'm glad to hear you thought better of it, Randy.

...My team has named me Fang.

[crimeson]

Then, it's nice to meet you properly, Fang.

[grimpa]

Yes.

...Do you think the people you know here will turn out to be a problem?

[crimeson]

... No, I don't think they will be.

[grimpa]

[nods!]

We all share the same goals here. It would be foolish to carry over grudges from home.

[crimeson]

I don't know about foolish, but it couldn't hold up to those bubbles, at any rate.

[grimpa]

[looks................... a little embarrassed]

...I'm sorry for prying under the influence of those things. They were more troublesome than I originally realized.

[crimeson]

Ehhhh, don't worry about it.

[claps a hand on his shoulder]

Normally I wouldn't have been so freaked out about it but the whole strange new place and lying parts really added to it.

[grimpa]

[nods, still a little embarrassed, but]

...You really made things harder on yourself starting out.

[crimeson]

Hah, I sure did.

[grimpa]

Try not to make a habit of it.

[teasing gently]

[crimeson]

I'll do my best.

[grimpa]

I'll hold you to it.

[hmmm]

...Are you feeling more settled now? With that sorted out.

[crimeson]

...Yeah. I think I'll be handling things a bit better, going forward.

[grimpa]

Good. I get the feeling we'll all have enough to look out for each other over, here. ...It's encouraging to know that they really can return our lost items to us.
