[betabangs]

Heeeellloooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[She counts to three, then cups her hands around her mouth again and --]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellloooooooooooooooooooooooo?

[It's ringing down every hallway. Fuck yeah echoes.]

For a place that's supposed to be a Lab, it's sure is [Deep breath, girl!]

Emmmmmmmmmptyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

[desserthobo]

[Far away, from the opposite wall of the hallway, comes an answering voice:]

Haaaaaallooooooooo!!

[If Blue peers down its vast expanse, she will see someone dressed in red waving their arms excitedly back at her.]

[betabangs]

[A sign of life! She waves her arms right back.]

Hiiiiii!! Whaaaaaat's youuuuuur naaaaaaaaaaaaaaame?

[Blue could totally just go over there, but this shouting thing's pretty fun.]

[desserthobo]

Diimiitriiiiiii!! Whaaaat's youuuuuuurs?

[There's just something fun about having a conversation across such a big distance. He'll come over eventually, but for now it's fun just to shout.]

[savedover]

[From behind Blue, there is the faint sound of static--as if a radio weren't tuned into a station.]

Be quiet. Shouting like an idiot won't get you anywhere. [Oh, it's just a grumpy kid.]

[betabangs]

[This really is too fun.]

Bluuuuuuuue! B! L! U! E! Bluuuuuuue! Aaand it's niiiice to meeeet youuuu!

[betabangs]

[Oh. Just like Green.]

You don't oh, uh, sorry. You don't know that!

Echooooooo!

[Someone's gotta be around one of these corners! Time to play follow the (very loud) voice.]

[deserthobo]

It's niiiiiiice to meet you tooooooo!

[Blue can't see it, but Dimitri is grinning like the big doofus that he is at heart.]

[savedover]

I do. Unless your goal is to look like an idiot, you're only wasting your time.

[betabangs]

[Same over here!]

I've never seeeeen clothes like thaaaat! What are you weaaaaring?

[Not that she can see his clothing like, stellar well, but.]

[betabangs]

I'm just looking for people to talk to, since this place seems really... [You know. The forbidden word.]

[betabangs]

[!!!]

Echoooooooo!

[She'll hunt too -- a fellow girl, wowee, that'd be exciting to meet!]

[spiritcrystal]

[Hmmm...]

[betabangs]

[...Marco??]

[spiritcrystal]

You're suppooosed to say Polooooo!!

Nice to meet you, Blue! My name's Kris! K! R! I! S! And don't you forget it!

[betabangs]

Ohhhh! Sorry!

It's nice to meet you too, Kris! I don't think I'd ever forget a boy's name!

[She sounds like a girl but that name so (shrug).]

[spiritcrystal]

Hey! It's a super cute girl's name, oka-

[...There she is.]

Oh.

Hi!

[betabangs]

[Oh.]

Hi! What's with your hat?

[...beanie thing. It looks dumb.]

[deserthobo]

It is my uuuu-niiii-foooooorm!

[Okay, the conversation is getting a little complex. Time to move forward!]

[spiritcrystal]

Huh? What about it? [It is the coolest looking thing, okay.]

[savedover]

[Silver waits for her to finish her sentence, tapping his foot impatiently.]

Well? Spit it out.

[betabangs]

It looks weird.

[betabangs]

[...]

I'm not allowed to say it.

[betabangs]

[She will too! She wants to see his uuuu-niiii-fooooorm up close.]

Is it a poncho?

[deserthobo]

No, it is not. [He flips the hood up, smiling cheerfully.] It is a cowl! It shows that I am a member of Team Magma.
