The one you had in the subway, right? That weird compact?

Anyway, I need two things, too - the Cure Lovies, the little golden pin thing, and the Lovely Commune, which looks a lot like a cell phone with Raquel's head sticking out where the speaker should be, because it IS Raquel. So it's... a little different.

[sun_sun]

ok I need to stop you here for a second
who the heck is Raquel

[peacefulwinter]

[How had they gotten this far without this question coming up?]

You know the plushie I carry around everywhere, right? Blue, diamonds on the ears and a few other places, talks, flies...?

[sun_sun]

that does sound familiar yse

[peacefulwinter]

That's Raquel. Sorry, I guess I didn't introduce you.

[sun_sun]

makes sense ok
what is Raquel anyway
like
do we know

[peacefulwinter]

Not really. He's

[A pause for a few seconds.]

He doesn't know any more than we do. He knows how to use the powers he's gotten back, but I think he's the same way we are - nothing from his past. Nothing on what he is, or where he's from, or his old partner, Rikka - the girl I'M getting memories from. Maybe he'll start getting memories from pulses, someday?

[sun_sun]

so wait you echoed back an entire person
is it just me or is that kinda freaky

[peacefulwinter]

[Conveniently, Annie can't see the look of quiet contemplation between Winter and Raquel on this point. Raquel's head is cocked in question, while Winter looks horrified. A moment passes before they both start laughing.]

I think it's fine. It's weird, to be sure, but Raquel doesn't seem to mind too much. Besides... we don't know what he IS. So that question needs to be answered before you start worrying about that, I think. Still... I wonder if HE has powers to gain, in addition to myself. He CAN turn into a Lovely Commune, which is pretty much a cell phone, after all. Who knows?

[sun_sun]

do you ever have one of those moments where like
all of the weird shit of this numbers stuff hits you at once
and its like
when did this become my life

[peacefulwinter]

I do. Every day. And you know what? I don't really mind it at all. Sure, it's dangerous, with the people trying to kill us, and the aliens, and the police. But before all this - before the numbers, and before Raquel - I didn't HAVE a life, really. So... I can't really complain. I enjoy everything I've gotten from this; powers, Raquel, friends, all of it.

So maybe you see it a little differently than I do, but... I wouldn't trade any of this.

[sun_sun]

yeah I get where youre coming from
I wish I could come up with all these cool speeches like you but
me am no good with words

[peacefulwinter]

[A few seconds go by.]

Does that make me actually the pink one?

[sun_sun]

not cute enough

[peacefulwinter]

Meanie.

...I'm sure I'll be cuter than whoever we find, anyway. It's not like we have THAT many options. And besides, I'm the oldest, and I've had the power back the longest. That has to count for something, right?

[Poor Winter. Just wait until your castmates get Echoes back.]

[sun_sun]

just you wait
once I get all my memory back ill be unstoppable
im not the leader either tho

[peacefulwinter]

I get the feeling we're going to have a lot to answer for, once we get everything back... surely the power we have now wasn't enough to deal with everything our past selves ran into.

You don't have to be the leader, Annie. There's only two of us right now; we don't really NEED one, right? If we do, I can serve well enough, I guess. Otherwise, we'll see if a pink shows up eventually, and we'll pass the role to them?

[sun_sun]

alright sounds good
until we get a pink one youre the leader

[peacefulwinter]

Got it. I'll try not to let you down, and I'll be counting on you to be with me when things happen. If you need me... call on me, and I'll be there. Sound fair?

[sun_sun]

just tell me what I have to throw and ill throw it

[peacefulwinter]

You'll be the first to know.

[sun_sun]

btw I dont think Karis gonna be joining the team

[peacefulwinter]

That's not surprising, after what she said before. Give her time... if the pink ones are leaders, they're probably masters of the friendship speech. We'll get her sooner or later.

[sun_sun]

yeah........
I tried to convince her but we just ended up arguing

[peacefulwinter]

It'll be all right. Let her be for a little bit. If she doesn't want to be part of this, she doesn't have to be - that's her right. If she changes her mind, we'll still take her.
