Time: Some reasonable time in the evening

Good evening. My name is Figue. If you've made the acquaintance of Ringo, you can consider me as something like her sister.

I would like to put forth an offer and a question:

Firstly, I have noticed several guests have encountered difficulty with making use of the network. As an AI, I would be happy to offer instruction or answer any questions they might have.

Secondly, I would like to compile a list of those who possess either healing abilities or medical expertise. In the event of a problem, I'd like to pin this list so that those who have newly arrived will know who to contact first.

... Also, if Ringo has caused you any trouble, please let me know. I know she can be a bit of a handful.

Thank you for your time.

Well then, we'll have to meet up in person at some point!

[vecna]

If you're not busy now, we could explore the our "home" floor more.

[He will play at being sociable for the sake of knowing who he's sharing a floor with.]

[refiguered]

I'm not. I'd be happy to spend some time exploring!

[vecna]

Then let's meet up. I'll be just outside the elevators.

[refiguered]

Understood. I'll see you shortly.

action!

[vecna]

[No more correspondence on his end, then. He isn't far from their meet-up spot, and so it doesn't take long for him to get there, waiting patiently until she arrives.]

[refiguered]

[ And here she comes! With her flowy sleeves and her flowy strands of her hair and her--she's hard to miss. ]

Henry... correct?

[vecna]

[Goodness, she is. This would be more surprising to Henry if he hadn't already met Ringo. The aesthetic is the same.

Anyway, here's his fit check, minus the jewelry.]

That's right. It's nice to meet you in person, Figue.

[Without prompting, just because he can-] I like your hair.

[refiguered]

[ A blink. ]

Ah, thank you. It's a pleasure to meet you as well. Your hair is also... well-maintained.

[ HELP. ]

[vecna]

[i'm never going to forgive you for that gagtag

Hey, he counts that as a win.]

Thank you. I always try to be presentable.

[A completely normal social exchange! Like a pair of robots.]

Anyhow, I've already poked around on this floor before, but things are always changing. We might find a surprise or two, still.

[refiguered]

[ what gagtag there's no gagtag. ]

Are you an artist, Henry?

[vecna]

[don't lie to me]

I'm not someone who makes a living from it, but I've always enjoyed drawing. And painting, from what very little I've done.

[refiguered]

Painting does seem soothing... I haven't really had the time to develop too many hobbies.

[vecna]

Too busy saving the world, right?

[Well, they’re going to pick a direction and go!]

You’ll have plenty of time to now.

[refiguered]

[ A faint smile. ]

That's true. The world should be just fine now.

[vecna]

[He leads them down the hall, where he remembers one of the larger studios was located.]

And I’m guessing you left it in good hands, too, if you and your sister both thought to accept the invite to this hotel.

[refiguered]

I actually woke up here with no real memory of agreeing to come here at all. But...

... I do trust those who were left behind.

[vecna]

[He quirks a brow at her.]

Really? That's unusual. And why do you think that is? Because your sister was already here?

[refiguered]

We are more or less twins. I wonder if our connection did it... without the data, I couldn't say for certain.

[vecna]

The bond between siblings, unwavering even throughout the multiverse. Wouldn't that be something.

[Yeah, tell that to Alice Creel.]

The two of you seem like opposites, though. I bet you'd even gravitate toward different kinds of art. Speaking of...

[Henry turns a corner, and they're greeted by a nice, well-lit studio. Art supplies for various mediums are spread about across the tables, organized accordingly. Huge canvases are propped up against the farthest wall, in various states of completion; some are completely blank.]

[refiguered]

[ Poor Alice. ]

Well, we were created to be polar opposites. I even that might translate to art too... but oh my.

[ Look at this. ]

What an organized-looking studio!

[vecna]

[Isn't it, though?]

I appreciate it when the staff can keep a clean space. Though how neat you can stay if we decide to paint something is still up for debate.

[refiguered]

If I've noticed correctly--ah. Yes. [ She points to a space on the wall where there are aprons neatly hung. ]

At the very least, we shouldn't be at as much of a risk.

[vecna]

[Ah, good eye. Henry crosses over unhurriedly, then takes two aprons off of their hangers, turning on his heel to hold one out for her.]

Still no guarantee you won't get it all over your hands, though.

[refiguered]

That's all right. I don't mind getting my hands dirty.

[ And she'll accept the apron! ]
