Hey there, sleepyhead.

[showmelove]

...Ah! You must be the "dad"!

[shutthefoxup]

...I mean you're not wrong, but also is it that obvious....

[showmelove]

Oh, uh! N-no, sorry, I just. Nychta mentioned a Silver being the dad and that sounds like something my dad would say, even if this situation is so weird that that seems like a really strange thing to say... but dads do that kind of thing, right?

[Having a seat on the other couch across from Talon and Nychta before patting the spot next to him]

It's fine, don't worry about it. You got it in one. I'm Silver, nice to meet you.

[showmelove]

[Sits down but like nervously. This is a lot of people for Venus and it's only three so far.]

I'm... Venus. They're saying it's uncommon but I've got my memories of home.

[shutthefoxup]

It's not common, but it's also not unheard of. And I've been here since day one, so you can trust me on that.

[showmelove]

How long ago was "day one"...?

[shutthefoxup]

About six months now.

[showmelove]

Only six months... that's insane. That's the beginning..... Gosh. It seems like no time at all but also a little like forever?

[shutthefoxup]

Exactly, it's not thaaat long but it feels longer because of the way this place is.

[showmelove]

I was just thinking about how long it would feel like if I had to go to summer camp for six months. That's half a year... when things are unpleasant, they feel like they last a lot longer than they do.

[shutthefoxup]

Wild City makes it easier though. You're lucky, you joined a good team. I'm probably biased though.

[showmelove]

I don't know, maybe it is bias, but if you think it is a good team, then that is a good thing too. People can really dislike the groups they are assigned to, too. So if you like them, they're a good team. Right?

[shutthefoxup]

That's a good way to look at it.

[showmelove]

I'd say it was a bias if you said it was the best team, though. Because of course we'd be the best to ourselves.

[shutthefoxup]

We are definitely the best team. Fight me scrub lords, I'm ripped.

[showmelove]

Fighting is no way to determine the best team, I think.

[She's smiling anyway.]

[shutthefoxup]

Ah, I'm just joking. My sense of humor is a little weird.

[showmelove]

Haha, I think I got it, but also it's important that we're recognized that there's room for everyone here, right?

[shutthefoxup]

In Wild City?

[showmelove]

In Wild City, yeah, but everyone else here too. In this world. Her world. That's really important to me. Though... I suppose I'm here and my friends aren't, but I'm sure it just means they're out there somewhere.

[shutthefoxup]

The world needs all kinds. Something like that. You'll get to meet a lot of very different types here.

[showmelove]

Oh boy...

[Look she appreciates all types but like MEETING them? Oof. This is going to be an exercise in not fleeing from people, she can tell.]

Well, I'm glad I got to meet you all first. You have been really kind.

[shutthefoxup]

I promise you don't have to meet them all at once though. You can take your time. We can even take you on a tour when you're feeling up to it.

And, of course. Wild City looks out for Wild City and you're one of us now.
