My roommate since I arrived in Lunatia one year ago, Lobco, has gone home. The apartment is terribly quiet without her, even though she was never the loud type. Strange how that happens.

Will you remember what has transpired here when you return? Do you wish to remember?

Perhaps focusing on work is what I need to move past this, at the moment. It would not hurt to try.

[dereban]

Sometimes you just need a distraction, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

After all, people do need some space to give things some thought - people disappear from this world every now and again, after all. It's not an uncommon thing, unfortunately.

[hagrides]

She is sadly not the first I have lost here. There is little to be done about it, or so it seems.

[dereban]

I understand.

Well - that's "for now", anyway.

[hagrides]

There never seems to be a good time to investigate such things. At least the rain has stopped...

[dereban]

The space between the triple moon and the end of the month is probably your best bet, if you'd ask me.

But - agreed.

[hagrides]

Oddly convenient that the inconveniences here seem to run on a schedule.

[dereban]

It's the worst.

[hagrides]

Would you find it more comforting if events seemed to happen at random?

[dereban]

Not really.

But my birthday falls at the end of the month, so I can't exactly look forward to it when I'm worried about what the next shitshow is.

[hagrides]

Perhaps you could celebrate it ahead of time? It seems a shame to miss out on the festivity entirely.

[dereban]

I suppose I could. Or have it belatedly.

[hagrides]

How old will you be turning, may I ask?

[dereban]

I'd be nineteen this year, actually. It's kind of crazy, if I'm going to be honest, that I'd have two birthdays in this world.

[hagrides]

Congratulations. That is still fairly young for humans, if I am not mistaken?

[dereban]

It is, yeah.

Back home, I'd still be considered a child for at least another year.

[She's not sure how she feels about potentially staying here for another year, though.]

[hagrides]

I see. I would be somewhat concerned if my own child were here without me - are your parents in Prismatica as well?

[When she says child he thinks she's the equivalent of like, ten.]

[dereban]

No.

I'm the only one from home here.

[hagrides]

I am sorry to hear that.

Would you be interested in a playdate with my child?

[dereban]

That's nothing to apologize about.

You'd be okay with that?

[hagrides]

Of course. They very much enjoy meeting new people.

[dereban]

[I hope that will continue to be the case, she thinks but doesn't say aloud.]

Just let me know whenever you're free, then.

[hagrides]

[They're baby and they fear no one.]

I have performances on the weekends, but apart from that I am usually free.

[dereban]

How about the Monday after Triple Moon?

[hagrides]

Very well. Let us meet in Lunatia's largest park.

[Inaba can meet The Baby and Grimm can be surprised that she's as old as she is.]
