[ roxana is here for things like a toothbrush or a hairbrush. ]

A name of someone you miss?

[doublefists]

... Nah, just. [ shifts her weight back and forth. ] It's not an uncommon name, but I swear pretty boy's partner was named this same thing. Seems like a weird coincidence.

Whatever. [ puts it back, and glances up at her, and visibly mentally stutters. a beat. ]

Oh, uh. Hey. Have we met yet?

[disingenuous]

[ hmm... ]

If you go by what others say, there are too many strange coincidences in this place, so you never know?

[ it could be the same pretty boy partner. ]

I don't think we have. Vi, if I remember right? I'm Roxana.

[doublefists]

Vi, that's right. I think I saw your identification thing. Hey, Roxana.

[ a little smile. she glances back at the keychains. ]

... Anyway, you're right, I never know. You see any names on this thing you recognize?

[disingenuous]

I haven't looked at each and every one, but none of them stand out as familiar to me yet.

[ though there are names that should, if she tries to look harder. ]

[doublefists]

[ her fingers pass over Wriothesley, Ema, and Kiruko, before she huffs and reaches up to ruffle her own hair back out of her face. ]

Creepy. It's like being watched.

[disingenuous]

Were those all people you knew? They want to remind us this is a repeat situation... or to remind you of the stakes.

[ if vi cares about those people. ]

[doublefists]

Yeah. Not long, we were only there like, a couple of days.

[ but she gets attached quick, even if she doesn't like to admit it. ]

The only stakes I have to worry about are whether I die or not. We didn't get shit at the end of ours, did you?

[disingenuous]

That's enough for some. People do prefer to live.

[ she shakes her head. ]

A phone, not unlike the one we got with our luggage.

[doublefists]

[ she squints her eyes like nyehhghghghh i GUESS at the first bit. ]

Some of them got wishes. [ she's not jealous or anything ] Does the phone do anything?

[disingenuous]

You would like a wish. [ she can tell. ] It worked like any other phone.

[ in that it could message people even if the network was wider than a normal one. ]

[doublefists]

[ gazes in arcane like do you bitches even have phones. ]

Who wouldn't like a wish? [ grouchily. ] So what, it calls people?

[disingenuous]

[ i do not remember seeing a phone while watching but my memory is bad ]

You'd be surprised, but there's nothing wrong with wishing for something. What would you wish for?

[ she nods. ]

It could reach anyone in my last "game."

[doublefists]

[ get you a canon where they don't have cell phones but they do have teleportation and arcade machines ]

World peace. [ dryly. ] And hey, that's not a bad prize.

[disingenuous]

How benevolent of you. [ she nods. ] It was more than I expected.

[ which was just being returned home. ]

[doublefists]

Are you the only one from your... you know, first place?

[disingenuous]

As far as I can tell. Even if they can't say so, I don't think any of our hosts are either.

[doublefists]

[ oh

wow, that didn't even occur to her. ]

You think they're from some of ours?

[disingenuous]

Some of them mentioned also doing what many of you have. One of them could be familiar to some of you unless there are many more of these "games" than we could ever imagine.
