[it's a new week, and they've got some new rooms to check out! shi qingxuan happens upon primrose in the planetarium, and is duly impressed by their surroundings. how lovely...
she greets the other woman with a smile.]
Do you like the stars, Miss Primrose?

... You know, I feel like I haven't had much opportunity to gaze up at them. They're beautiful though, aren't they?
[ Have a smile in return! ]
[ Have a smile in return! ]
They are. Though - they certainly look different here than they did back home.
[she supposes that lends credence to the idea that they're somewhere else entirely...]
[she supposes that lends credence to the idea that they're somewhere else entirely...]
Oh? What did they look like back home?
[ Entirely different? ]
[ Entirely different? ]
The shapes the stars made were different - and we would see them from a distance.
Here, it's almost like we're among them.

Ah... yes, where I'm from, they were also much more distant.
But how interesting, to think that even stars would take different shapes. Was your sun round, at least?

It was - so I suppose that's one thing our homelands have in common.
[she smiles]
Did you have names for the shapes the stares would make, where you're from?

Ah... yes, though I'm not as well-versed in them as a scholar or one dedicated to Steorra would be.
[ She glances up again, thoughtful. ] I mostly knew the ones for direction.

Oh, that's another similarity! There were stars that people used to navigate in my homeland, too.
It's interesting, how some things line up, don't you think?

I would agree! I do wonder if that was intentional, bringing us here but still ensuring that there was something that we could relate to in the smallest of ways.
[ Although then there was Aoi and that had been a Lot. ]

[aoi is so much. i live in fear of cola's power.]
I think it might have been. They want us to indulge, and it's hard to do that if we're feeling uncomfortable, right?

To most people, yes. [ P-Prim. ]
But they do say alcohol soothes most worries and you do seem to be taking things rather calmly.

[prim,,,
that earns her a slight look of concern, but she says it so casually that sqx isn't sure if she's meant to be concerned about it or not...]
I'm trying to be calm, anyway! I agreed to be here, so there isn't much point in getting worked up, wouldn't you say?
[smash cut to someone dying this week and she's just screaming internally the whole time]

Yes, you're right. I can't deny I'm a little wary about too much of a good thing but I also believe answers will reveal themselves in good time.

They always do in the end! I think it's alright to have a good time, as long as we stay aware of what's going on around us so we can adjust what we're doing if they need to.
[so, like, have fun? but also be careful about it.]

It's truly... ever so nice to keep company with a sensible adult.
[ She sounds so pleased. ]

If you're looking for another sensible adult, Ming Yi is very sensible!
[
i'm so sorry she keeps bringing him up everywhere.]

He's my best friend! He's wonderful. We work together, back home.
[they're coworkers, and he's the braincell in this partnership.]
So, we're lucky to have him here, too!

Your best friend... that's wonderful news. You must feel relieved to have him with you.
[ ... She thinks briefly that it would be nice to have any of the other Travelers here, but then she also thinks about someone like Tressa or Cyrus here and...
Yeah, better to avoid that entirely. ]

I do! He's a really steady kind of guy, even if he's kind of grumpy sometimes. I'd probably be a lot more freaked out about this if he wasn't here.
[smash cut to when someone dies and she's freaked out anyway.]
Of course, I've become more at ease now that I've gotten to know the rest of you a little better, too! Of course it'd be better if people weren't breaking things or making messes, but everyone seems pretty nice so far.

Yes, I similarly wish they would desist with the destruction and the stealing...
[ Haaaaaa. ]
But I'll have to make the acquaintance of this friend of yours... he seems truly interesting.

I think you'd like him!
[is she trying to make friends for ming yi since he's a loner and she's worried about him being able to indulge like he's supposed to?
yes.]

Well... I do like you, and if he's your best companion, I think that seems likely.
Good! If he's all quiet and grumpy, don't let it discourage you - if he was really as grumpy as he acts sometimes, he'd just walk away.
