[ Some of them are not sickly yet...! Tifa seems to be in decent shape, and she answers the door in her pajamas (a plain white shirt and some cotton shorts) with still-dying hair. She was dying for that shower! (Also, her cuts are cleaned out and bandaged.) ]

Oh, it's you two! So you're Usagi's friends, huh?

[undefinery]

That's right! I'm Blossom and the cranky-looking one is Botan.

[ Sparkling. ]

I didn't know you were on the same team! I guess I should've taken a closer look at the colors before...

[suplexer]

[ Cranky-looking one...? ]

To be fair, there was a lot going on. I didn't realize you were on my friend's team either! Funny, that you all picked flower names!

[ Even though... it kind of makes her miss Aerith that much more. ]

[undefinery]

... Your friend?

[ wait, flowers? ]

Oh, you know Rose??

[suplexer]

Yep, that's right! She probably already told you all about Materia, right?

[undefinery]

She did! She had a little song about it and everything.

[ Very cute. ]

[suplexer]

[ Laughs. ]

That sounds about right.

[ It's definitely Yuffie's favorite topic. ]

It's kind of strange, isn't it? That there are so many links between our two groups...

[undefinery]

Yeah, no kidding... I wonder just how many people here know each other, too. Like does every person have someone?

[ But her teammates hadn't mentioned that... ]

[suplexer]

So far, I only know about me and Rose and then you two and Usagi, but...

[ She shrugs. ]

I definitely haven't spoken to everyone on every team yet.

[ There's so many of them! ]

[undefinery]

There are definitely a lot... I haven't, either.

[ Mizuki gets it. ]

[suplexer]

It's still kind of unbelievable that so many of us have been brought here. I wish I could just assume it's some kind of weird dream, but...

[ She shakes her head. It all feels so real. ]

[undefinery]

I wanted to, but I should've woken up already...

[ Tragic. ]

[selfportraiture]

[hey]

[undefinery]

[ no falsehoods here ]

[selfportraiture]

Oh! Yeah, that's us.

[Yuffie talked her up so much that Ena feels a little nervous all of a sudden, even though they already met... she brushes down her school uniform, clearing her throat.]

Nice to meet you again, but properly this time.

[suplexer]

[ It's a good thing Tifa doesn't know that she was talked up, or it would potentially make her a lot more nervous in turn. ]

Yeah! You're going by... Botan, right? I like the new uniform.

[selfportraiture]

Ah, thanks. It's... pretty much just like my uniform back home, aside from the class color.

[Which gets a frown out of her, arms crossing.]

It's kind of creepy they replicated it like that, but I was glad to get into something not bloody.

[suplexer]

[ Tifa nods at the comment about getting out of bloody clothes, but frowns at the rest of what Botan has to say. ]

Between that and the stuff in those yearbooks, it feels like they know way too much about us. But somehow not our names?

[ She tilts her head. It's weird. ]

[selfportraiture]

Maybe that's why they're trying so hard to figure them out. It's the last bit of information they need to, I don't know, possess us or something.

[suplexer]

Ugh...

[ She shivers at that. ]

Yeah, probably. We can't let that happen. If I slipped and accidentally said Rose's real name by accident, I'd never forgive myself.

[selfportraiture]

Yeah, I get it. It's tough, but we gotta be careful... it'd be bad enough to be here alone and have to take care of your own name, but it's way scarier having someone else here who knows it too.

[suplexer]

Yeah. I don't use my own name all that often, though, so the fact that I know someone else's here feels like even more pressure, you know?

[selfportraiture]

Right, exactly. Now we've got responsibility for more peoples' well-being than our own.

This is seriously stressful.

[suplexer]

Speaking of that, I wonder if I could ask you for a favor?

[selfportraiture]

Huh? Oh, uh, sure. You can ask, anyway.
