[ Flowers are addressing you, Crucible. And these flowers? They've got a calendar in their petals. She finds this network malfunction silly,and thinks it's time for some more cheer! ]

Crucible passengers! Maya! According to the calendar I started last time, it's New Years Eve. And we all know what that means --

Lots of celebratory drinking!

'Zat so?

[Talks like a hobo, takes interest like a hobo, but it looooks... like a puzzle piece. Oh well.]

[goldenpine]

Lying's too much energy~

Join me for a drink, Jigsaw?

[exstinctor]

True, that!

Haha, all right. Y'got a place in mind?

[goldenpine]

I hadn't picked a place in particular yet! the observation deck sounds nice to me.

[exstinctor]

Guess that works. Y'gonna be recruitin' those robots t'help y'carry the drinks?

[goldenpine]

Some of them have to be delivery bots! might as well put them to work!

[exstinctor]

S'true, that. Oi oi--

[The puzzle turns. There's the sound of snapping fingers, and a robot wheeling to await orders. Apparently he's in one of the restaurants.]

Port up a box'r two of those [and the puzzle edge seems to point at something off-screen] to th'observation deck, hey?

[goldenpine]

[ The flowers like your style, there, Mikk. ]

Guess that's my call to duty, then~

[exstinctor]

Hah! Yer duty t'be drinkin', yeah?

[Amused hobo is amused. And liked by flowers!]

[goldenpine]

Nothing that fancy~ but if I'm not there to receive your order, then who will be?

[ Flowers on the move! Sort of freaky floating flowers. ]

[exstinctor]

Y'ain't th'only one headin' over there.

[Having secured his order, Jigsaw is also on the move. And the race is on!]

[goldenpine]

See you there, Jigsaw~

[ She's far too lazy to win; besides, she gets visibly distracted along the way. The flowers stop into a nice little alcohol store on 15; she's very well distracted indeed. Humming, too! ]
