[grigori]

[ suriel will find her at a cafe, and offer yelena a fresh cup of coffee! they appear to have a green tea latte for themselves. ]

How's it going today?

[spydey]

I'm fine.

[ a pause ]

Are you into fishing? Yesterday I learned everyone is very into fishing.

[grigori]

[ they pause. ]

I don't know. I've never done it before, actually. Do you like fishing?

[spydey]

[ she takes a sip of the drink. ]

Fish can be high in protein. And apparently it's relaxing.

[grigori]

I do like fish dishes... I guess it's just never come up. Normally we'd just get fish at the supermarket.

You don't sound that convinced about the relaxation part...?

[spydey]

I have never gone fishing where I wasn't already hungry.

So it makes it harder to relax.

[grigori]

I guess that makes sense. It's a useful skill, though, isn't it? Maybe I should learn, just in case.

...But you shouldn't have to go hungry while we're here. We can't conjure up a whole feast for you guys or anything, but we can at least give you lunch?

[spydey]

[ she lifts up the drink. ]

I see. Then we should have lunch.

[grigori]

[ with a wave of their hand, two bento boxes appear on the table in a shimmer of gold dust! nom. ]

How's this?

week 0; wednesday

[grigori]

[ shamisel will be found in the hotel's lobby with their hands folded over their lap. ]

Hello, are you taking the time to meet all of us?

[spydey]

Yes. Isn't everyone?

[ it's a genuine question, since it makes the most sense to her to find out about the other people here. ]

[grigori]

[ closes eyes i didn't have this tracked... ]

There are still many of you that I haven't met or spoken to.

[spydey]

[ puts a hand on your shoulder. i understand. ]

Mm, maybe they are getting around to it. I still haven't gotten to all of you yet either.

[grigori]

[ thank you francy. ]

Perhaps, but regardless I'm happy to speak to any of you at any time.

[spydey]

So, what do you think about...

[ she gestures ]

All of this.

[grigori]

It's certainly a lot.

[ sheepish. ]

It's probably just as overwhelming as it is for me as it is for you.

[spydey]

But do you want to be doing this? To be here?

week 1; tuesday

[grigori]

[ time for a trek out to the plaza. their daemon, a northern goshawk, settles on a nearby balcony to watch. ]

Did you need something?

[spydey]

So. Where are we?

[grigori]

[ spreads their hands. ]

Underwater city. Kind of an Atlantis deal, I guess.

[spydey]

Are we close to the same place we were before?

[grigori]

Nowhere near. Try a whole a different world.

[spydey]

[ she just closes her eyes. mother help worldhopping is too scifi ]

Great. Why are we traveling?

[grigori]

[ mood, yelena. ]

It's a way of helping the worlds we visit. Don't think I can say much more than that yet.

[spydey]

But it'll be a new one each week then? For... however long we're here?
