sunday morning ~5:14am, after the earthquake

[imaginist]

Did anyone else feel that?

[...] I'm going to Research.

You'd better be prepared to chug that coffee, because I'm not slowing down once we go.

[beautyfull]

i'm just gettin my shoes on and i've been to way more spin classes than u so who's really gonna be making us slow...

[imaginist]

And I'm already out the door. We can make coffee at the lab.

[beautyfull]

i'd yell at u but i'd predicted this betrayal
hello knock.

[rainbowfish]

I also want coffee.

[imaginist]

What do you think about getting three coffees and bringing them to Research?

[rainbowfish]

Now hold on a second.

[imaginist]

Look at it this way: if the ground crumbles and the entire station falls into the lake, you of all people will probably be fine.

[rainbowfish]

If keeping you caffeinated is the thing that's going to stop us from falling into the lake then I will get you coffee.

[imaginist]

Once again providing the people of Enodia with life-saving drugs. What would we all do without you?

[rainbowfish]

Make your own coffee, probably. But I’m happy to help however I can.

[imaginist]

Ah, but it's just not the same when I have to work for it.

[Raine]
Have you ever been seriously affected by one of the rift events?

Enoch/Raine

[rainbowfish]

No, never. Not to jinx it.

Enoch/Raine

[imaginist]

I wonder if it's because yours are physiological. Although there were people who swapped physical mutations during our last major fiasco.

Enoch/Raine

[rainbowfish]

I don't know. Maybe I'm immune for some reason. [...] I wouldn't wish it on anyone anyway.

Enoch/Raine

[imaginist]

Come on. Is it really that bad?

Enoch/Raine

[rainbowfish]

Well. It wouldn't be that bad if it was just for a day or two, I guess.

Enoch/Raine

[imaginist]

I was surprised by how much I missed mine for those few days. Even the lie detection. I didn't feel like myself without my powers.

Enoch/Raine

[rainbowfish]

Having Crysta's powers instead probably didn't help either.

Enoch/Raine

[imaginist]

That had its upsides, at least. I better understand now how harrowing Crysta's daily existence is. [...] And I got to see your cellular structure.

Enoch/Raine

[rainbowfish]

Is it weird?

Enoch/Raine

[imaginist]

There is no one in the world like you. [...] Probably. I haven't seen everyone in the world.

Enoch/Raine

[rainbowfish]

Don't look too hard. I like being special.

Enoch/Raine

[imaginist]

Any looking I do is purely out of scientific interest. [...] Does it ever bother you that I like your mutations?

Enoch/Raine

[rainbowfish]

[...] It used to bother me a little. I felt like you were only interested in me as an experiment.
