( It's everyone's favorite person, Kromer!!! She whistles to announce herself, then more properly introduces herself— )

Been a while, hasn't it? For those who don't know me, the name's Kromer. Pleasure's mine. I posed some questions last time I posted here, but I won't bother repeating them for you—I got the picture the first time. ( She pauses, then laughs shortly. ) Actually, speaking of questions—

I'm sure you've seen them! The kiosks over at the tourist center in city hall. You can ask them questions and you can get mostly useless answers. They've got some interesting ones every so often, though, like how this isn't the first time this has happened.

( She's been thinking on that answer for a while, and now she's just casually dropping it into conversation. Whatever. )

I'm collecting questions and their resulting answers, so if you've posed any, let me know... or you can pass them along to Junpei instead, if you're familiar with him. We're partners. ( in a way. ) It's nice to be able to make sure we're not needlessly going in circles, right? And putting all the information in one place makes it easier to put the pieces together.

( ... )

That's all. Let's do our best to work together and find a way home, alright? Chin up, everyone.

( more or less. that's the heart of it. )

Yep. They've run past iterations of this type of thing—found that people working together made it work better, hence all the cute make friends ideas that've just sprung up out of nowhere the past month or two.

yeah okay that logically follows

[ There's at least a little sense of vindication, at least, that Peter totally called it – but it's one of those things where knowing he was right on that particular front is different from being able to do anything about it. So, predictably, the victory is short-lived. ]

as long as we don't have to do any of those stupid ice breaker games next

like Find Someone Who Speaks Four Languages or whatever

what'd you ask it?

Something about why this city seemed to be pushing us to share things with one another, be friendly, all of that. It's been a little bit since I asked—I wanted to think about what it meant before I presented my findings to the class.
