Anyone know where to get party supplies? If I have a place of my own, I'm going to be getting down with it. And I'm definitely going to be inviting anyone who wants to come do it with me.

[ Yes, this guy is young. Sixteen, to be exact. He's been spending his time at a boarding school, so it's not like he's not used to living away from home, but he is used to living with strict rules. But no more! ]

I do need more of a music collection, though. Anyone willing to share their home music with me?

So? It'd be more personalized. More you. Whoever you are.

Hi. I'm Gwen. Did you just get off the train?

[120vision]

I'm Satoru. I sure did. It's way too hot here.

[hibana_incursa]

Good to meet you, Satoru. Welcome to Haven. Has anyone warned you that this place likes to change entirely every few months?

Throw the party outside at night, maybe? The Aurora Borealis is amazing and happens every night without fail.

[120vision]

Change... entirely?

That's a great idea. But still brings into question the music.

[hibana_incursa]

Up until a couple weeks ago, it was a ski resort. Before that, it was a big city and before that? A beach town.

Try the music store. Listen to what the locals are interested in.

[120vision]

I was warned about the locals. Are they tired from the changes or something?

[hibana_incursa]

Worse. They're not aware of the changes. Right now, to them, this place has always been haven. Always. They don't know what Driftcrest or Wechester City or Beachville are because none of them have ever been there.

It was the same while we were in Driftcrest and Wechester and Beachville. To them, it's always been that city or town or whatevever.

[120vision]

Sounds like quite the mental whammy.

[hibana_incursa]

It's definitely trippy. There are a couple of guys from Driftcrest who were the school bullies. We didn't get along, because I have a zero tolerance policy for people like that?

And they remember it. But not the high school we all went to. They just remember me stopping them from harassing people.

[120vision]

Did you? Good on you. Anyone who bullies the weak is a useless shit.

[hibana_incursa]

What about reformed bullies who are working hard turning over a new leaf and trying to protect the weak? I know a couple of people like that. I'm even dating one of them.

[120vision]

If someone has something to make up for, they better do their best to actually do it, I guess.

[hibana_incursa]

He's doing his best and I'm pretty proud of him.

Hey, how long have you been in town for? Did you just get here?

[120vision]

Good! You sound like you have a nice head on your shoulders, so if you say that I believe you.

A few hours.

[hibana_incursa]

I try to.

A few hours and you're already looking to throw a party? Hmm. I like you. You waste zero time and adapt quickly. That's awesome.

[120vision]

There's no use crying over spilt milk. Just do your best with what you have, that's what I say.
