[look at this grin of his. this apologetic. grin.]

Uh... yeah. Took a nap for like. All of November, and then I got busy with Christmas presents, and maintaining all the cool stuff on the ship...

I'm Hiro Hamada. Nice to meet you.

[experiencepoints]

[well, now she just looks worried.]

A month-long nap? Are you okay?

[everydayhero]

Yeah, Atroma does that... I guess. It happened a lot to a friend of mine, but he's left the fleet since.

[he looks a little concerned for a moment, but he just rubs the back of his neck and shrugs.]

Not a huge deal.

[experiencepoints]

... Oh. Sorry to hear that.

I'm Nightingale, by the way. Gray Nightingale, from Takshaka.

[everydayhero]

Nightingale... That's a really pretty name.

[he perks up a little, mostly out of force.]

You've been settling in pretty good on this ship, right?

[experiencepoints]

[She turns a little red at the compliment to her name, and busies herself with the cooking.]

Th- Thanks.

I hope so? I'm mostly just trying to stay out from underfoot, honestly.

[everydayhero]

[he grins a little.]

You work with a lot of busy people, I'll admit it. But we're friendly.

[experiencepoints]

... Well, it's a better kind of 'friendly' than getting crushed under Nimbus's fuzzy butt, I'll grant you.

How long have you been here, anyway?

[everydayhero]

Uhh. About a week and it'll be a year?

[experiencepoints]

... Ouch. My sympathies.

[everydayhero]

It's not that bad, for me. I miss being home, and I miss my friends, but I'm not in a huge hurry to get out of here.

[experiencepoints]

Yeah... I guess if you have to get trapped in an interdimensional shithole, this is the one to do it in. Better than my last one.

[everydayhero]

What was your last one like?

[he doesn't show any shock at there being a last one, not with how many people claim that.]

[experiencepoints]

... It started with the total annihilation of hundreds of worlds.

It went downhill from there.

[everydayhero]

[oh.

[well that's some dark shit.]

... Was your world..?

[experiencepoints]

... Yeah. Everyone who was there was in that same position.

[WHY ARE ALL MY CONVERSATIONS SO DEPRESSING okay. okay try to make it sound not as bad now, nightingale.

... and just quietly pray Hiro doesn't ask about how it went downhill from there.]

At least, as much as it sucked, everyone who showed up also got amnesia as a result. So it's not like we remembered much about our worlds to be upset about at first, anyway.

[everydayhero]

... I guess that'd help, but that's not really any better in the long run, is it?

[he looks disappointed. why are all these places so bad???]

[experiencepoints]

Well... Maybe not, but we got pieces of memory back pretty often, at least?

[everydayhero]

Yeah... Do you remember much about your world now?

[experiencepoints]

Bits and pieces? I've got about half of my life back, but they didn't come back in any kind of reasonable order.

[everydayhero]

That's gotta be frustrating. I'm sorry.

[experiencepoints]

[It really is. But, she doesn't want to get into that. She's going to have a decent, not depressing conversation if it kills her.

Which it might.]

Honestly, it's more embarrassing than anything else, since memories got shared there all the time. Imagine remembering embarrassing yourself in front of your crush before remembering your own name.
