Do you really have time for this? Do you even know where I'm going to?

[thirdly]

Hikari! You're here, too!

[fourandagainst]

It looks that way.

What does everyone do around here?

[thirdly]

It really depends on your mun, though. You could be hanging around this place and talk to people you know, like I am, or you can be heading some place else.

[fourandagainst]

I guess I'll leave that up to her. It's not like there's anything I can do about it.

Are there that many people we know here?

[thirdly]

I've seen Right, Tokatti, and Kagura, though not all at once. Fortunately I've yet to run into any Shadow, or Shadow Monster for that matter. I'm told that can change, though.

[fourandagainst]

What about -

(It's too early to mention this week's episode)

Never mind. How is Kagura doing?

[thirdly]

[ yes it's too early to talk about him ]

She's all right, Hikari. Last I saw her she was asking about something... though I didn't know what she was talking about either, so I couldn't give her a straight answer.

How are you handling this, though? I know it can be a bit confusing, at first.

[fourandagainst]

I don't know. It's a little strange? Mun says she hasn't done anything like this since Livejournal, but I don't know where that is.

How long have you been here?

[thirdly]

A few months, I guess? My mun's excited to meet us, and it seems she's taken a liking to me, which is why she 'picked' me up.

It's all very strange, like you said.

[fourandagainst]

My mun thinks I'm -

[SIGH. why do I have to say this?]

"cute".

I guess I'll find someone to talk to. I just don't really know what I'm supposed to do here.

[thirdly]

...cute?

[fourandagainst]

That's enough.

[thirdly]

[ stifles giggles! ]

I'm sorry, Hikari. I didn't know muns can be so-- well, amusing.

[fourandagainst]

It's good that yours doesn't just say embarrassing things. The banana guy won't even talk to her.

[thirdly]

--banana guy?

[fourandagainst]

He kind of lives here too. And some other people. Doesn't your mun have anyone else?

[thirdly]

She has a lot of others, so it's hard to keep count. She does seem fond of picking up people from teams like ours, though.

[fourandagainst]

Mine does too, so I don't know why I'm the only one here?

[offers kendama! Because it's something fun to do.]

[thirdly]

[ takes it! but, hikari's the only one good at it... ]

Are you bothered by it, though?

[fourandagainst]

I don't know. It's just ...

[awkward! Like me. So let's change the subject.]

Wagon's not here, is she? I'm kinda hungry.

[thirdly]

I haven't really seen Wagon anywhere. Ticket and the Conductor, too. But, wait - your mun hasn't been feeding you?

[fourandagainst]

I just miss our food. And Red Ressha. Don't you?

[thirdly]

Yes, of course I do.

[ just not ice cream, though... ]

I'm trying not to, though.

[fourandagainst]

[please don't mention ice cream again for a while]

It's not like there's anything we can really do about it. If there were a way out, Right would have found it by now.

[thirdly]

Or, if given enough time, you'd be able to figure it out.

[fourandagainst]

I'm working on it.

But what about you? Are you happy?

[thirdly]

I'm-- [ not happy. not sad, either. midway? ]

I'm all right. I get to talk to all of you whenever I want and my mun isn't making things too difficult.

Don't worry about me.

[fourandagainst]

[I probably will worry, a little. I just won't say anything about it.]

Okay.

At least it's quiet. It won't be, if Right and Kagura come back.

[thirdly]

[ no that's my job, though ]

Things are too quiet without them, ne? Tokatti, too.

[fourandagainst]

[I leave all that for you. And also the sandwiches]

I'm almost surprised he's not here flapping about it. Maybe he found a library, or a shopping mall.

[thirdly]

--surely he knows he can't use his pass freely, right?

[fourandagainst]

There's no cleaning for him to do around here. He won't have to pay for it until he gets back to Red Ressha.

[notrightinthehead]

HIKARI!!!!!!!!!!

[fourandagainst]

Yes?

[notrightinthehead]

I'm really glad to see you here too!

[donotpass5]

Why not? Rainbow Line makes unscheduled stops all the time!

[fourandagainst]

[not this kind of stop!]

Kagura. Are you okay?

[donotpass5]

[Ack!] Hm? Why wouldn't I be?

[fourandagainst]

Just asking.

How long have you been here?

[donotpass5]

Hmm... I don't remember! [:D]

Did you just get here, Hikari?

[fourandagainst]

Yes! Just yesterday. Mio says Right and Tokacchi are around, but I haven't seen them.

[donotpass5]

Yesterday?

[She walks in a circle around him.] Nope! You seem just the same as you ever were! I'm sure Right and Tokacchi will be the same when they show up, too.

[fourandagainst]

Um. I'm glad I haven't changed?

[honestly, I hadn't even thought about that]

What do you even do around here?

[donotpass5]

Nothing much. Shadow aren't here, and Conductor and Ticket aren't, either. But there's lots of people to talk to! I met the Horned Hero! [She says proudly.]

Did your mun bring you here for some reason?

[fourandagainst]

Who's the Horned Hero?

She says it's because she likes me. And no one else wants to come.

[donotpass5]

A pink member, like me! You can meet other green members, here, Hikari!

Who's "no one else"?

[fourandagainst]

Do you know any?

The banana guy. And some other people that mun likes.

[donotpass5]

Um, um... maybe... black members, too...? I haven't heard of a banana guy, though. Does he wear a banana suit like those people at amusement parks?
