It's the only thing that makes sense. You've been there before, you know what to expect, and at this point you would give anything for a sense of familiarity to rely on. Having made up your mind, you get dressed and leave your room, for the first time in weeks, with a purpose.

You pass a few people on your way there, but your thoughts are too busy worrying about your upcoming trip to really notice them. What if no one is there? What if someone is there, but they don't want to see you? What if something horrible happens like the last time, and everything falls apart, and then they'll kick you off the ship, and-

You find yourself standing at the door to the kitchen. Taking a breath to steady yourself, you shake off your thoughts and step inside.

Your worries about the room being empty are immediately dispelled, as the sound of laughter echoes loudly through the room. The half of the room dedicated to proper kitchen equipment is deserted, but the half consisting of one large table is currently occupied with three people playing what appears to be a simple card game. Two of them look up when you enter.

"Lyf!" It's Marius who speaks first, standing up from his seat the second he sees you. "You actually came!"

You simply nod, trying to think of what to say. The person on the left- Brian- seems surprised at your appearance, but greets you pleasantly. "You look well. It's nice to see you up and about!"

You laugh nervously. "Y-yeah...It's nice to see you too." Was that it? Was that all you had to say? Surely you had something better.

The person in the middle- Tim- hasn't even looked at you. He seems too focused on the cards he's holding in his hand. Marius looks quickly back and forth between you and the cards before running to your side, dragging you to the table. "If you want to, we can deal you in! We just started, it wouldn't be a problem at all."

Unsure of what else to do, you nod again. Brian hands you a small group of cards, and you sit in a seat offered to you by Marius.

You realize too late you didn't ask which game they were even playing.

"You sure you're doing alright?" Marius places his hand on your shoulder, and you hold back a flinch. "I can explain the rules if you-"

"No! No, it's fine." Why were you refusing? You had no idea what you were doing! "I'll figure it out. Maybe...You should go first?"

He laughs, and proceeds to place down a few cards. You follow his lead for a few turns before you begin to relax.

Brian and Tim both seem fairly nice, and you remember that the whole point of this trip was to talk to new people. You can't hide behind Marius forever. But as you continue to copy his movements in placing cards on the table, you begin to grow worried.

I Love Your Gunpowder Tim Design! Especially His Eyes.

Thank you!!! I had fun designing how I'd want the eyes to look so I'm glad someone else enjoys them too!

I've literally never drawn him as Not A Chibi before so this was a fun excuse to <3

As soon as you make up your mind to talk to Brian, he looks up first, eyeing you carefully.

"It's been a while since we've seen you out like this. What's the occasion?"

You don't know what to say. You hadn't planned for this, and you certainly didn't want Marius to know you were only doing this because he asked. What kind of first impression would that be?

"I was just...curious about the rest of you. There's...a lot I don't know about you, that's all."

He smiles.

"Well, if it's me you want to talk to, I have no issues with that."

How would he know you wanted to talk to him if he was the one who spoke first? You don't bother to ask, as he begins to rattle off facts that you're sure he's had to recite to you before.

"My name is Drumbot Brian, I'm the pilot here on the Aurora. Well, she mostly flies herself, but me and Nastya work together to make sure everything stays in order."

You nod along, absentmindedly playing cards as you try to hold onto the information he gives you.

"You've been here for quite a while, but it's true we haven't had a lot of chances to talk. It's a shame you went and ruined everything."

...What?

You can feel a static in the air, your hair standing on end as you struggle to focus.

"Why did you leave? Why did you come here? And why would you stay?"

"You should go back. We don't want you here."

No. This was wrong, and you knew it, so why wouldn't it stop? You try to focus, to ground yourself, but the voice ringing in your ears was a painful distraction.

"Do you know who I am? Would you be sad if your fate led to my demise? Who am I? Who are you? Do you even know?"

No, you don't. You're not sure how to respond, or if it would even be the right thing to do. Should you just ignore it until it goes away? But you can't do that every time. What if he's actually trying to talk to you, and this is simply interrupting him? What if he asks you a question and you can't respond?

"HA! Take THAT!"

"A full house! This round is MINE!"

You jump in your seat, suitably distracted and frankly terrified. The world around you shifts back into focus, and you're relieved. Marius seems to be looking at you strangely, but everything looks...Normal.

You lean to the side and whisper "Does this game even use full houses?"

Marius shrugs. Perhaps you chose the wrong person to copy.

In any case, it seems you've once again missed out on the conversation, as the others begin to chat without you. Were you not meant to be here? Should you try again? Was it even worth it?

...Usually this is the part where you would feel your will being taken from you, that awful sensation of the world slowing to a halt as your choice is made for you. Where had it gone? Were you...alone?

"I need your help."

No one seems to understand what you mean.
