THE TIME BETWEEN.

[lockdownmods]

Regardless of whether or not you've explored, you're pretty thoroughly stuck here. Which means... well, you'd best get acquainted with everything that's available to you. There are things to do, places to see... And maybe there are some surprises in store.

You won't discover them until you look for them, though.

And who knows when you'll get out of here? Or when new people will show up? Only time will tell...

Fuuuuuu.... you really had me worried for a minute. It's not like you.

[Which was why she couldn't help but fly off the handle. Ah-- but then...]

...are you nervous?

[She suddenly breaks out into a big smile.]

Don't worry sweetie, I know they're just going to love you.

I've never met others before...

[she folds her hands in front of her, and then raises the small fist to just under her chin, pulling her shoulders forward.

She's definitely nervous.]

I'll do my best, though. To make sure everything goes smoothly here?

[newhire]

Don't worry. I was really nervous at first too. But if I was able to overcome all that then... I know you can too! Besides. You still have me. I'm going to be working hard too.

[She puts a hand on the other girl's head and smiles softly.]

These people... if you open yourself up to them I know you'll be able to show them the wonderful person you are.

[honestly, that looks like it makes her feel a lot better, and her shoulders relax.

and she moves forward to hug her.]

Thanks. I'll do my best. You won't have to worry about me at all, so you can focus on what's important.

[newhire]

I'm always going to worry about you.

...but it's true, I might not be able to hover for much longer. At least not as much as I want to. But I know you'll take very good care of them all for me. Hopefully it'll be over soon so we can spend more time together-- no work involved.
