trust you've got a game plan

[ At noon on Wednesday, Riley's standing ready in the dining hall, with a clipboard and a big smile to anyone who shows up. She's set blank stacks of paper on the table, but we'll get to that. As promised, there's some basic snacks as well as some tasty banana bread. Snacks for everyone! ]

Welcome everyoooone~! Thank you so much for showing up. This is a new and confusing experience for all of us, but I'm sure if we strive to stick together and cooperate, it'll help us foster the most productive environment that we can. [ Bright, bright smile. ] So! I've gathered all of you so we can share any discoveries and compare basic information that might give us any idea of why we've been brought here. Good? Okaaaay!

[ That smile never leaves her face. She sets something down from her clipboard and starts passing out that blank paper. ]

Sooo, following my example, if you could fill this out, that...can be a good starting discussion!

[ Her example is essentially a survey. Wonderful penmanship, again. ]

[Have a heavy breath as he rubs his face]

Deep inside of a parallel universe...
It's getting harder and harder to tell what came first.


[And then he makes a face. He hadn't meant to say- to sing that, dammit.]
37773972: ('cause i can't feel)

...there has to be some sort of common thread. Other than us all being-

[a beat, and he looks at Spinel]

-most of us being human.

...

[He inhales...then lets out a breath.]

Was anyone else missing time before this?

...What does that mean?

[It sounds like something very philosophical. Are we gonna be discussing the meaning of life again?]

If you forgot a day, or a- week, or-

[oh no. OH NO. He can feel it coming, and quickly bites the inside of his cheek to stop from continuing. Not gonna sing!!]

[Well, too bad, because she will!]

Or daylights?
Or sunsets?
Or midnights?
Or cups of coffee?

[Christine beams, reaching out to try to tug that hand away from his mouth.]

In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, a year in the life?


Everybody!

[She's going to start a dance routine soon if she doesn't get her duet partner!]
37773972: (in a sandbox in the entropy?)

ChristiiiIIIIiiine!

[At least, that's what he tries to say. Instead he sings it, even in protest, and the notes pitch just so in a way that may seem very familiar to some.]

Isnobodyelsebotheredbythiiiis?

[Same notes. Just. A rush of words, this time]
justmeheere: (but now they're just the normal kind)

ChristiiiiiiiIIIIIIIne ChristiiiiiiIIIIIINE CANIGULA-A-A!

[Christine gasps excitedly, and waves her fingers around like she's conducting an imaginary orchestra.]

That's my name, that's my name! Sing for me, my angels of music!

[A chorus singing her name? It's just what she deserves.]
37773972: (am I just a ghost in my own machine)

[personal profile] 37773972 2020-07-05 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Enough- why do we keep singing, anyway!?
madgiganticfeelings: (frozen)

[personal profile] madgiganticfeelings 2020-07-06 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Because it's fun? I think it's pretty much because it's fun.

[She's seriously not seeing a problem with this. It's hard to tell if this is because she's used to expressing her emotions in this way or if she's just oblivious.]

Good.

[He lets out a heavy breath.]

Good. Than that's not a thing we have in common.
