[ If he were one of the others, maybe he'd lecture her about calling in ahead of time before doing crime or else Vane would die of concern... but Ponta decides that Norma doesn't need that right now. ]
I'm glad you tried to help her, for what it's worth.
[ Not much, since she's dead. ]
Do you want a hot drink or something? Jail can't have been too comfortable.
Just enough to see that we finally have a supermarket.
[ This will become immediately apparent as soon as they enter the kitchen because it's stocked up very well - and also there's a whole bowl of oranges on the counter.
Ponta's going to get out a pot to heat up some milk and then chop up some chocolate while they talk. ]
Sure did... I don't even know where to start untangling all this.
[ But what he does know is that he's finished stirring chocolate into hot milk, so after some finishing touches there's two mugs of fancy hot chocolate here.
It doesn't solve their problems, but it's a start. ]
We gotta figure out who's really pulling the strings, but we have no clue how to get to them...
[ Yeah, gripping a warm mug is a good motivator. Ponta's grabbing his and guiding them over to the couches because that's the more comfortable space to sit. ]
Us all being from different worlds was really confusing at first, but on the other hand it means we have all kinds of angles to approach this from. Maybe that'll do some good?
[ Dorm is good, dorm is nice. Citrus certainly is feeling (muted) shrimp emotions, seeing Norma back in the common room. It's happiness but also a hint of regret at having missed out on weeks of hanging out like this. ]
I didn't think I'd ever get to see you in here again... Welcome home, Norma.

This place stinks.

[ Hi Norma, welcome back Norma! ]
We were worried when you guys didn't come home. You alright?
no subject
[ she got hers back today. ]
I'm okay as anyone can be after the weekend.

no subject
[ scientifically this is not true, but it still might as well be. ]
no subject
[ He doesn't know if jail is actually as cold as the stereotypes make it out to be, but he feels like that one might be realistic. ]
no subject
[ it sucks no matter what. ]
Have you looked around the city yet?

no subject
[ she goes to grab an orange... not really to eat it, but to sort of roll in around in her palm. ]
This place is so fancy.
no subject
[ His kitchen at home isn't awful, but he could truly get used to this kind of arrangement. Well, with a little caveat... ]
Almost like someone is hoping we won't complain too much, out of gratitude or something.
no subject
[ she snorts. ]
Maybe. I also wondered why they give us so much money.
no subject
So how does the change keep showing up in our pockets anyway?
no subject
I wonder why the people who live here don't find any of this weird.
no subject
... or maybe all of this happened before, even earlier than that.

We really landed into a mess.

no subject
It makes sense that we don't know the answers yet, I guess. It wouldn't be a conspiracy if it were easy to solve... but I think we're smart!
no subject

no subject
[ she'll follow along, settling down on the couch before sipping the cocoa. ]
Ah! You're amazing again.
week 7, tuesday
It really is weird to be back.
no subject
I didn't think I'd ever get to see you in here again... Welcome home, Norma.
no subject
[ just long enough to suffer being a prinny. ]
You've all been taking care of yourselves, right?
no subject
[ Vane called him his child to his face once and it's been sitting in his brain ever since. ]
no subject
[ their team meals... poncitrusta (that's not his name) was dead long enough to see what their food situation was like... not the same homey feel... ]
I'm sorry you all had to go through that though.
