So maybe you've just gotten back from the most mellow kidnapping ever and you're itching to tell your bandmates about what went on with the cool helmeted guys while everyone else was at that stuffy party. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait a little while to tell them, but that's okay - surely you can keep yourselves occupied until everyone else returns.

Or maybe you're one of those who wound up at that party of Naomi's, and your night was a little less fun. Now you're back at HQ, possibly with mended physical injuries and almost certainly with a few new psychological scars. Now's your chance to check in on your friends and bandmates who missed out on all the trauma and deal with things as best you can.

How was that?

[blindfoldcode]

[She... actually has a kinda dreamy smile on at that.]

It was nice. I never sang in front of a crowd before that, but...

It was really nice.

[wounds]

Definitely sounds like you enjoyed it.

Just because your girlfriend was there?

[blindfoldcode]

She's Virgo. Everything I do with her is more than I expect it to be.

[wounds]

That's gotta be harder now.

[Considering everything that's gone down.]

[blindfoldcode]

... I haven't talked to her since then. [And there goes the dreamy smile.] It feels like I'm missing something.

[wounds]

Do you know what kind of something?

[blindfoldcode]

I have these memories of her. It's like we're connected. I feel different around her... like a better person, I guess. You ever felt that way?

[wounds]

[Maybe there's somebody in his past that convinced him to be a better person.

He doesn't remember them though.]

I feel like my body isn't right. But... I'm starting to feel like I'm not this person.

[blindfoldcode]

[She peeks out one eye.]

That's a damn shame. He seems pretty decent.

[wounds]

[There's something different driving him. It's not music, it's not a thirst for fame...]

Maybe just a few things are off. Flirting seems weirder now than it did when I first got here.

[blindfoldcode]

[Okay both her eyes open and she gives him a look.] You flirt?

[wounds]

I did. Before these.

[He taps his sunglasses.]

And all the memories.

[blindfoldcode]

Were you good at it?

[wounds]

... I guess? Molly seemed to enjoy it.

[blindfoldcode]

You know I have to kill you for making moves on the new kid in my band right?

[wounds]

I'm not going to do anything.

[Because she's tiny and he's extremely uninterested in the first place.]

I just called her cute.

[blindfoldcode]

Then I'll have to kill you for disappointing her. [This is an incredibly useless threat.]

[wounds]

Do what you have to.

[blindfoldcode]

Trucy expects me to protect the band. I've gotta do something, right?

[wounds]

Fair enough. I might fight back though.

[blindfoldcode]

I'll wait until I can feel all my fingers. [It's a damn weird feeling that's come over her.]

[wounds]

Just let me know whenever you're ready.

[blindfoldcode]

I'll text you. [She lets out a long breath and finally--]

... Can I ask a favor?

[wounds]

[He trusts Kido. They both have things they need to hide.

So he nods.]

Ask away.
