[George appears on screen, face as neutral as ever. She's sitting in a gross, olive green booth, a plate of food in front of her. She doesn't seem to notice it. In fact, if anybody cares to look closely, it's pretty clear it's been sitting there a while. It's probably not even hers.]

I don't suppose anybody wants a tour of ghost city Seattle, huh?

[Oh, hey, Minato's never been to America or anywhere outside of Japan.]

... Are you in the waffle house?

[That place is practically famous by now.]

[video forever]

[akapeanut]

I guess.

[She looks around.]

Except it's empty as fuck.

[jivitadana]

[Minato nodded.]

But it's winter there?

[akapeanut]

Yeah. Must be the same time here as it is at the mansion.

[jivitadana]

Did you want company?

[Because it looks really lonely and abandoned there and at every other world.]

[akapeanut]

[She shrugs and looks away.]

I'll bring you in if you want.

[Yes.]

[jivitadana]

Only if you want.

[But he smiled a little. It shouldn't be his decision alone, although he is on the move to get to where they should meet.]

[She's too proud to respond. Instead, she just moves to be in position in case he arrives.]

action

[jivitadana]

[Sure enough after a few minutes, Minato arrived.]

Thanks.

[akapeanut]

[She shrugs and extends her hand. She's not sure why she thinks that it's necessary-- nobody's told her, exactly. But somehow it just makes sense.]

[jivitadana]

[Minato carefully took her hand, and stepped into her world. He still wasn't sure how this was possible either, but it had happened.]

So this is what it looks like.

[akapeanut]

Yeah.

[She looks around.]

It's empty, though. I never saw it like this.

[jivitadana]

I think every world right now is like this.

[Well, "right now" being "for this event" since it clearly wasn't empty before in his own world and her world either.]

[akapeanut]

It's creepy. This place was always so busy.

[jivitadana]

Did you come here a lot?

[akapeanut]

Almost ever day. My coworkers and I met here for...

[She glances at him.]

Did I...uh. Did I tell you?

[He's similar to Souji...No reason to keep it from him, really.]
