Listen, I need some information. I was here about a month ago, when there were a lot of people new people here who I guess left. I need to know if anyone else who was here then came back.

And I'm looking for a woman. With green hair, has a thing for metal, goes by Polaris.

If you can help me out, I owe you one.

Does she also have a questionable taste in fashion?

[God it's good to hear her voice.]

It grows on you.

[ferrokinetically]

Oh, it does? You don't find yourself embarrassed around it?

[brightboy]

I...just learned to accept it? Is that better?

[ferrokinetically]

No, it's really not.

[brightboy]

[He chuckles, but his voice turns more gentle after a moment.]

How long have you been here?

[ferrokinetically]

Around a month now, I guess.

[brightboy]

Really? [Time...is weird.] How, uh...how have you been?

[ferrokinetically]

Missing Dawn. [ She pauses for an exaggerated second. ] And you too I guess. [ Him too a lot. ] And everyone. [ She sighs. ] Nobody seems to know any promising ways to get back.

[brightboy]

Hey. We'll figure it out. [He pauses for a moment.] Where are you?

[ferrokinetically]

There's someone that's been here for a year. [ she sounds about as dejected by that as she feels. ] Market areas. Where are you?

[brightboy]

The residential...uh...domes? I can head your way.

[ferrokinetically]

I can probably make it to you faster.

[brightboy]

What are we racing now?

[ferrokinetically]

We are. I'm already almost there.

[brightboy]

What the- Oh it's on.

[And he's definitely moving.]

[ferrokinetically]

I've got the advantage. You might as well just admit your defeat and accept it.

[brightboy]

[He laughs.]

You've always got the advantage, babe.

[ferrokinetically]

If only everyone recognized that so quickly and easily.

[brightboy]

Quickly? It's been three years.

[ferrokinetically]

Good point. I'll go back to being annoyed with how you didn't recognize it sooner.

[brightboy]

Hey, I'm a stupid man. That's my defense.

[ferrokinetically]

At least it's a true defense.

[brightboy]

...thanks.

[ferrokinetically]

Said with love of course.
