[OPEN MINGLE]

WHO: Everyone! It's a mingle!
WHAT: Discussing recent reveals about the simulation
WHERE: Pairidaeza Architectural Studio
WHEN: Feb 3rd morning to evening
WARNINGS: Potential existential crises, discussions of death, memory manipulation, basically everything to do with their actual situation in a simulated environment.




[The actual setup within the garage-turned-studio is away from all the actual workbenches.

On one folding table are copies of multiple documents available around the X: The main document is a summary of a resident from a prior iteration that's clearly been redacted via scanning copies with stuff blocked out. Additionally are copies of the most recent newsletter with the memo on the back and photos of the hotel journal printed in black and white.

Lined up on another folding table away from the one with the documents is an array of finger foods: hummus, chutneys, and yoghurt dips with a variety of sliced vegetables, cheeses, cold cuts, and fresh pita bread. cardamom cookies, panipuri, and both vegetable and chicken samosas take up the other side. Mint water and fresh juice are in pitchers to the center. It's actually a little crowded.

Chairs are set up in small grounds and around the document table. And finally, a whiteboard has been rolled in for people to make use of in group discussions.]




((This is a mingle, so everyone is encouraged to threadjack, make toplevels, etc prior plot mingles have been done. Alhaitham and Kaveh will be around and participating but not taking the lead beyond making sure people stay orderly in the studio and have enough papers.

If you character has discussed the simulation with either Kaveh or Alhaitham, you can also handwave they texted them directly about it.))

[ There's absolutely no way Daniel isn't going to notice what Tsuruno is doing. Especially when he is here for the information, sure, but.. he's definitely put 'looking after the kids here' as his extra special little task when he decided to go along with Robby.

Especially when Tsuruno is bound to follow wherever that boy goes.

And while he will give her space to read everything and process it, there's no way he can leave her alone when she seems on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Which-- Daniel gets, really, in the light of all this, but..

He still moves over to her. There's a smile on his face, though it's small. He'll even move to squat down if she's sitting while hunkered down, just to be on a more even level with her. ]


It's okay. I know it's all scary. You don't have to be alright.

[ But she does, she thinks. She has to be more alright than most right now, because if she lets this get to her, it's going to cause Problems.

But her gaze lowers slightly, eyes dark. Shove the worst part of it down, for now. ]


I will be... just, gimme a minute.

[ She takes a breath. ]

[ Daniel is quiet for a moment, but he does seem to get it - if not just from the way she looks. Maybe that's why he gives her a quiet moment, rather than insisting on something right away and potentially overloading her.

But he doesn't leave her alone. The man doesn't move away, and after a moment he speaks up with a gentle: ]


Do you maybe want to breathe together?

[ Easier to not get stuck in your own head when you aren't focusing only on yourself.

.. that's Daniel speaking from experience, really.

He moves his hands, putting them together palm to palm, holding them in front of him. ]


Look, try holding your hands like this.
