"U-um, th-th-this is E-E-Edensphere. I-I-I'm your g-gree-greeter, I-Iris." She mumbled it out and tried to shield her eyes. "N-no t-t-t-towels, s-s-s-sorry."
She had tried so hard too.

"There's always a greater extreme than the one you're experiencing right now," he conceded, "but...yeah, I can't really think of any right now either." Waking up naked with two strangers had to be pretty high on the list.
He made something of a face as the older man (er...well he was visibly older, anyway) volunteered to go look around. He wasn't so sure he wanted to see Old Man Butt so soon after waking--most assuredly not the best part of waking up. Thankfully a sound caught his attention, and he turned to see a girl--this one clothed--approaching them, looking infinitely more traumatized by their advent than they were. She had brown hair and big eyes and was...stammering ( ... )

Before she could follow this train of thought, the young man--he drew the eye for his brilliant red hair if nothing else--spoke up. Had she not been preoccupied with covering herself up, she would've already reached out to the other stammering girl.
"Umm, it's all right! I think. I mean, it's just some..." She experimentally wiped the goop off her forearm. It left a sticky residue on her skin. "Some goo?" she added hopefully. "I'm sure it would wash off very nicely, too."

He held out a hand, palm down, to Iris. "Take a breath. In and out. By breathing you increase circulation to your brain, and thoughts are that much easier to form. As a lily on the water's surface floats when the river is flowing smoothly, so will your thoughts come together." He smiled at the scared young woman, even though the no-towel news was disappointing. "Are there at least blankets or clothing?"
The young woman sounded optimistic too. At least he was with people who weren't lashing out. They would figure this out, he was certain.

When the oldest man begins to speak, she looks over. She takes a deep breath and tries to calm herself as directed, but her nerves were already shot, as was typical for the girl. "C-C-Clothes, yes, there a-ar-are." She quickly walked back and handed the one-size-fits-all clothing over to the newborns.
"I'm r-r-really sorry a-a-about this." She really was trying, and the poor girl, surrounded by two men and naked. Iris blushed a little. This was the most disconcerting part of greeting, always the same questions, which was nice, but her nerves could only handle so many newborns.
