Who: YOUR NEW MOM
Where: Future is Now
When: 97, late night

[ Depending on how long it takes you to notice either the update to the team roster or the voices from the common room, you will see the newbie poking purposefully around the dorms, or perhaps even already sat at the table busy mending whatever she could find in the closet that looked to be in need. She's pleasant-looking woman in a crisp retro-futurist dress, her hair and makeup somehow already perfectly styled. She seems absorbed with the task at hand, but once she notices company, her smile brightens. ]

Well hello there. Shouldn't you be in bed about now?

[pauses on his way out with a slightly confused face]

Ah... hello.

[motherglowsbest]

[ she looks at him like she's already quite fond ]

Couldn't sleep?

[asonoficeandfire]

I haven't gone to bed yet.

[but yes, also can't sleep. which. he's not talking to a total stranger about]

Are you new?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[Erika on the other hand is returning to the dorm from outside, and looks extremely unimpressed]

You don't have any idea what I should be doing.

[motherglowsbest]

[ gives her a fond sort of "oh, you" look ]

Don't be silly. Sleep is crucial for growing minds and bodies.

[motherglowsbest]

Mmhm, I got here just a few minutes ago.

You must be quite the night owl.

[asonoficeandfire]

[raises an eyebrow, and looks to the door. it looks unlocked and all...]

A few minutes? You've already looked up information on your profile?

[motherglowsbest]

Of course.

[ stich stich, then snips off the thread and begins folding the garment ]

[asonoficeandfire]

[whose closet did you go into to get that?]

I see. Welcome to future is now, then. I'm Duality.

[nohalation]

[peeks over the table, peek a boo]

Oh, should I?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[She holds up her left hand, which is made of some kind of white ceramic, and looks at it thoughtfully.]

Whether any part of me is "growing" after having been to the depths of hell and returning to this slightly greater height of hell is questionable.

And either way, I sleep when I want to.

[motherglowsbest]

[ :o -> :D ]

You definitely should!

[nohalation]

[:o -> :D!!!!]

Okie dokie! Are you going to sleep too?

[motherglowsbest]

[ and how did she get in there without anyone noticing? a mystery! ]

Hello Duality. I'm Jane Doe.

[motherglowsbest]

[ huffs ]

I suppose you will. Planning to sleep all day, then?

[motherglowsbest]

There's a good girl.

I'll go rest a bit once I'm done with this, I think.

[asonoficeandfire]

[so far, he's at ease. she seems pleasant enough]

It's nice to meet you.

[motherglowsbest]

It's wonderful to meet you.

So are you going to tell me about what's keeping you up?

1/2

[nohalation]

Oh okay, that’s good! Good night!

[goes to her room]

[asonoficeandfire]

[frowning slightly]

Nothing is keeping me up. I was going to the kitchen to get tea.

[nohalation]

[ten minutes later, angel pops right back out]

WAIT YOU’RE NEW!!! WOWEE!!!

[motherglowsbest]

Tea, huh? A growing boy shouldn't have to go all that way at this hour.

What kind do you want? I can bring it up to you.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

You should have better things to worry about than my schedule. Did you just get here?

[takes out her phone to pull up her profile]

..."Jane Doe"? You know, your husband John is on LiLiS.

[joking, but not good-naturedly]

[asonoficeandfire]

[he was already a few steps further to the door before he glances at her]

That's all right. You don't have to do that.

[motherglowsbest]

[ OK that gets a genuine out-loud laugh ]

Hello there, Angel. It's nice to meet you.
