Summer 10 - newcomer mingle
[ It's late morning when the ferry comes around, landing on the jetty and letting off a small but valued group of new arrivals. Olivia is out there, greeting and handing out information packets.
Later in the afternoon, there's a small welcome party set up at the community center. The tables are laden with cinnamon buns, elderflower lemonade, fresh strawberries and an assortment of small cookies and other treats. There's also thirium lovingly set up to the side of the buffet, for the android population. Ingvar shows up a little later with his accordion, setting the mood with some traditional folk songs like he's wont to do. ]

[FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS. SOB. Anyway, as weirded out as she is initially (look she's weirded out by a lot of stuff), she's also really relieved. It was starting to seem like everyone in the house felt Some Kind of Way, and she wasn't sure how she felt about that. At least she has reason to think she might get along with one of them.
She'll apologize eventually. Just...not right now.]They're very cozy, huh?
[Charming! Rustic! Her bag immediately goes on the floor, and while she peers around, most of her curiosity is for the people.]
So...how long have you been here, Hope? What do you think of it so far?

[It's said with a small laugh and he shrugs lightly.]
Four days now. It's... different. I think I have too much time on my hands now.
[And he wasn't sure what to do with that time. Nothing changed back home and the thought of even returning really didn't sit well with him just yet. He would be returning to nothingness, basically. Would he be saved? Would he get to be reborn? Hope didn't know and until he could face that uncertainty, he would remain here.]
