[The video feed starts with Darcy looking intently at the screen and reaching over to poke at the various functions on her newly acquired tablet. So far, she's met two people. One she hadn't seen in a while but the other was brand new. Her room is still dark and Darcy looks a little uncomfortable sitting in it.]

Comments

[trepidations]

Yeah, we had some, but. They're probably gone now. I heard some of them were... well, they were explosive?

[ It doesn't matter, really. Easter and chocolate. All things Peter likes. But her question surprises him, and he blinks at her through the feed. ]

[ What an odd question to ask. But in this place, there were dozens of different types of people from all over the place. ]

[she laughs]

Nah, dude, the guy that you remind me of is still in high school. I think.

[trepidations]

Oh. Yeah, not that young, anyway.

[ And it's probably for the better, really. ] The hotel gets... well. You get used to it? There's just... a group of us that have been here since the beginning. Or... we were the first group to arrive with no one here. So... so if I can help at all. Er. Let me know?
