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. ]

Well, apparently there's magic and aliens and time travel, so...why not throw alternate universes in.

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.]

Somewhere out there where thoughts can breathe easily,
Far away you were made in a sea just like me.
Let's...try to focus on what we have in-common, instead of what's different. Right?

[a beat, and he looks at Spinel]
-most of us being human.

That's what I was hoping to figure out. We can rule out year, location, what we were doing, knowledge about the Phantom...
no subject
[He inhales...then lets out a breath.]
Was anyone else missing time before this?
no subject
[It sounds like something very philosophical. Are we gonna be discussing the meaning of life again?]
no subject
[oh no. OH NO. He can feel it coming, and quickly bites the inside of his cheek to stop from continuing. Not gonna sing!!]
no subject
Or daylights?
Or sunsets?
Or midnights?
Or cups of coffee?

[HAND OVER MOUTH]
no subject
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!]
no subject
[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]
no subject
[goddamnit why you gotta out him like this]

no subject
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.]
no subject
no subject
[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.]
no subject
Missing...time? No. No, I don't... No.
no subject
[He lets out a heavy breath.]
Good. Than that's not a thing we have in common.
