Thank you to Yalena for getting us sorted. [Sort of sorted. Sort of.] Now that we've arrived in New Tokyo and we're stuck inside for a little while, I think we should talk about some new changes that we're facing. I can't be the only one.

But first: a good number of us are here unwillingly, but we have to wait until we're fully prepped before we can go anywhere. Heading outside in these temperatures while unprepared could cost you your life. We all hate being trapped somewhere. I think that's pretty well-established. We also hate having to do anything or be anywhere when we didn't ask for that to happen. At least it doesn't seem like we were drugged, though it wouldn't hurt for Katelin and I to take some blood samples to confirm that. We'll have to store them until we get back.

As for the changes in your lives: have you noticed any? For instance, apparently I'm a lab tech at Giles Bell. I tried to set myself up for a new internship there that I could get easily, but I got ... elevated. Or hired beyond that? I'm not sure what the right terminology is here. Has anyone else noticed this? Or had it happen to them? I got permissions to take leaves from both of my jobs. And no, I'm really not prepared to work as a lab tech. I don't even know the first thing about setting up gels.

As a bit of a personal request ... does anyone think we can make pancakes in the small kitchen here? I have a craving for them. I've not really had cakes of the "pancake" variety before, but I want them now. And if you think we can, can you make them?

[This last bit is Loki's fault.]

I... I can explain

[ can she tho?? ]

[deicider]

It was a good choice! You were amazing.

[windowsills]

Thank you... I just
I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. I thought it would be fun at the time.

[deicider]

You looked like you were having fun. What are you worried about?

[windowsills]

I've only ever performed for a small crowd before, now everyone knows my face. It's a little overwhelming.

[strove]

I didn't know you could sing.

I'd like to hear you sometime.

[windowsills]

Yes, just a little.

[ Fibs. She's got a set of lungs on her when she wants to use them, that's for sure. ]

Yes, I could sing something. But I only know songs from my time, unfortunately.

[strove]

I don't know a lot of music as it is. I think whatever's from your time will work.

[Plus, Alex should feel like she can sing.]

[windowsills]

[ CLARKE too good too pure ]

Next time I'll choose something more mellow and less... flashy.

[strove]

[Says Alex and literally no one else.]

If you can pull off flashy, shouldn't you?

It sounds like you made a major impact on the world, and ... helped everyone remember an artist.

Don't doubt yourself.

[windowsills]

[ her immediate reaction is to deny it, downplay it in anyway possible, but their whole journey to the radio. What was that all for if she is going to continue the same habits? ]

Yes. Yes , you're right. I'll try my best. It's just about becoming more comfortable. I'll pick something out that I think would suit your tastes.

[strove]

I'm looking forward to it.

[deicider]

You'll be fine, but if anyone bothers you, you can let me know.

[windowsills]

Thank you, I appreciate that.
And also, congratulations on your new clients. I.... I hope they are good and generous people.

[deicider]

They seem like they'll be fun. What kind of work do you do? You could probably get a job as a singer now, if you don't already have one.

[windowsills]

[ Fun?? oh boy ]

... I hope they are that as well. I work as a waitress serving drinks.... I'm not sure if I would be a successful singer. I've always had friends cheering me on... everything is so public here.

@prom.argentum

[mercurio]

you sing?

[windowsills]

... For fun. Nothing professional. I think there's been a misunderstanding.

[mercurio]

we should karaoke when we get back to new amsterdam!

[windowsills]

Of course. Me, you, Clarke and perhaps Sansa? I'll let you choose the songs for the night.

[mercurio]

we're gonna have a really hard time recognizing any of the songs
but i'm down
