[Terra can be found outside, staring at the Rec Center with uncertainty. She's heard about the celebration, but the thought of being among so many people has her a bit uneasy. How many of them know her and her secrets? How many will be disappointed when she doesn't remember them? It's all a bit overwhelming to think about, and so she's frozen where she is, indecisive.

Nudge her?]

[He's not sure how to take it, but he chooses to do so in a good way.]

I guess it's pretty weird for you, since so many people already know you, yeah?

[heavenslament]

[She nods.]

It would be like...well, if you had that watch, but people constantly told you about how they knew anyway, wouldn't it? I mean, it's nice that people don't seem to mind, but...I wish I could remember trusting them enough for that. You know?

[onebluebamf]

[A nod. He can sort of understand that.]

Yeah... and you can't just start trusting them all over again. Who knows how they found out originally, right?

[heavenslament]

Right.

[And she's at the point where trusting people is not exactly the easiest thing to do.]

...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to keep you from the party, if that's what you wanted.

[onebluebamf]

Nah. [Handwave.] I talked to you, remember? Besides, if this is all new to you... then you'll need someone to show you how to have fun, yeah?

[heavenslament]

[...well. Since he put it that way, she nods shyly.]

I guess that's true. Thank you, Kurt.

[onebluebamf]

It's cool. [He turns around, stepping to one side of the tables.]

So, do you know anything about Table Football?

[heavenslament]

...Table Football?

[That would be a 'no'.]

[onebluebamf]

[He thought so. He starts twirling the handles, causing the little wooden player to spin around.]

It's like football. You have a ball and you have to get it to the goal on the other side. You use your little players, spin them around, and make them kick the ball. I do the same thing, while trying to stop you. First one to ten wins.

[heavenslament]

[She nods cautiously.]

I think I understand. It sounds simple enough.

[onebluebamf]

[He sets the ball in the middle.]

Go ahead and start us out.

[heavenslament]

[She stares at the ball for a moment, then nods and tries to do as he mentioned just a moment ago. Using one of those players, she tries to make them kick the ball over toward the other side.]

[onebluebamf]

Ahh, see? You've got it.

[He blocks the ball of course and then sends it to the other side of the board. Since Terra is a beginner, he sends it slow enough to be easily blocked.]

[heavenslament]

[Terra has to work to block it in time, but she manages, barely. A small smile forms a she sends it back toward his side.]

This isn't so bad....

[onebluebamf]

[Naturally he blocks it, sending it back a little more aggressively.]

You seem like you've got it down pretty good too!
