Everybody's talking about Valentine's Day coming up...

[And Jimmy's confused as hell, which is clear from his expression.]

How is that even here? This is like some whole other planet, how come an Earth holiday is celebrated?

And there's other stuff, too. It took me a little bit to realize it, but there's lots of stuff that's pretty familiar. Not the same, but close, you know? You'd think there'd be all kinds of differences. Not that this place ain't weird, it's weird as hell, but... come on, you get what I mean.

[Or at least he hopes other people from Earth get it. He's still trying to come to terms with the fact that all of this is real, but he's reached a point where he can start paying close attention to this wacky world he's ended up in.]

Is that 'cause of us, all the people who get dumped here? Or was it always like this?

Beats me. This place doesn't make a whole lot of sense, if you think about it long enough.

[And she had. quite a bit, really.]

[anexcitableboy]

That's what I've been told, but...

How do you not think about it?

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[That... is a good question, Jimmy. Veronica has to think about that.]

You just try to block it all out, like that music you can always hear no matter where you go. Don'y worry, you get better at it over time.

...But, I'm still trying to figure out what the hell is going on here, so that doesn't really help me.

[anexcitableboy]

Easier said than done, huh? Yeah, I get it.

Doesn't seem like anybody knows the answers.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

By the way, you're going to hear the music wherever you go. It changes sometimes, though, so there's that.

No, and I don't think anyone wants to give us the answers. So, we have to find it ourselves.

[anexcitableboy]

That I can deal with, there was always music back home.

[Carnival music half the time, he's gotten used to tuning it out.]

I don't think I care enough to do much more than ask other people what they know.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Good. I was always used to silence.

[So basically her first few weeks here had been absolute hell.

On the bright side, she can now whistle the pokemon center theme from memory.]

...Is there anything you want to ask? I don't know that much... but I'm trying to figure everything out.

[anexcitableboy]

Hey, thanks. I appreciate the offer, but... I think I've got the important stuff covered.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

W-welcome. [She doesn't do this very often. Sorry, Jimmy.]

Just consider it, then.

[anexcitableboy]

I think of something I wanna ask, I'll drop you a line!

I'm Jimmy, by the way. Jimmy Darling.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Right.

[Just what Veronica needs, people calling her at random times to chat.

...Oh. Right.]

Veronica Madaraki.

[anexcitableboy]

Nice to meet ya!
