( Kromer's decided she quite doesn't like this place. It doesn't seem like her opinion is an unpopular one, looking at other posts that have cropped up, so that's great. Wonderful when all of humanity is on the same page.

A whistle comes through the phone first, then her voice. It's a little on the grating side. )
Testing, testing.... Looks like this works! How wonderful.
( It might also be a little familiar to certain people, too. )
What an interesting situation we've found ourselves in. ( "interesting". ) It looks like some of you are already starting to get to know each other a little and make allies, huh? Ahahaha...
( ...... )
Since everyone else is posing questions, let me do a few too. Did you get a waste-of-time text before you left the train? What did you answer? What is your "business"? What Nest are you from? And finally, of course, the most important question of them all...
( Kromer pauses deliberately, relishing in her own dramatics. )
Have we any heretics among our number? I'm looking forward to hearing your responses.
[ ooc: a reminder that her opt-out is here! i'd highly encourage at least glancing at it. ]

she knows if she pushes back, if she lets go, sinclair will go tumbling down the stairs like in an old nursery rhyme she heard once. jack and jill went up the hill just to kill each other / jack fell down and broke his crown / and jill stood laughing after...
that isn't how it went. it isn't how it's going now, because her sinclair's grown stronger, and kromer recognizes something is off about herself. her leg slowly bends, first the left, until it hits the step, the odd angle driving stone beneath her knee. her right bends second, but she keeps her foot planted firmly. they look all the world like a couple mid-proposal, if not for the unmatched expressions on their faces.
despite her position, kromer tries anyway: she shoves her weight against him, not as steady as she could be on the stairs, not as overwhelmingly strong as she'd been before but nowhere near "weak", either. )
