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. ]

................. Mountain Dew activates them. [He says this with a kind of, like sigh. Because he was hoping she would just believe him!! But obviously not.] So, um. You know. Please don't, uh. Don't drink any? Just to. To be safe. And I won't drink any either!

Hmm...

[Christine gives Jeremy a searching look for a moment, but whether she sees what she wants to or not, she eventually beams and holds out a hand, pinky stuck out.]

It's a promise, then.

[He breathes out, tension releasing from his shoulders as he hooks his pinkie around hers.]

Promise. Cross, uh. Not that I actually, you know. Want to die? I'm not. It's just. You know. Cross my heart and hope to die, but just. Yeah.

[Smooth, Jeremy. Very coherent.]

[Christine just gives him a sideways smile over their connected fingers.]

Cross my heart and hope to die. So long as we don't break that promise, we don't have to worry about dying!

[It's... something to hold on to, she thinks. She's read plenty of tales about people beating the odds to fulfill a promise. Obviously, it will work the same way here.]

[personal profile] justmeheere 2020-07-07 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah. Definitely.

[He's pretty sure that it doesn't work like that and also that if Christine dies he's going to have some kind of breakdown? But it's fine. It's definitely fine to make this promise week 1 that neither of us will regret later.]

Good!

[She gives him a gentle pat on his shoulder and smiles sideways at him.]

You going to be okay now?
