[Rich, as per usual, is in the music car, once all the excitement of the platform is over and done, His guitar is sitting in his lap, and he looks a little tired, but there's at least a small smile on his face.]

Yo. Rich here. So I thought I'd better get this out of the way, but if you've had to deal with me being a mega asshole in the last month, I'm sorry.

[He looks properly ashamed, and has to take a minute to run his hand through his hair.]

Ugh. I don't even know what to say about it. Basically, I wasn't in control of myself, and then when I was back to myself, I guess I kinda crashed super hard. You know, dopamine machine broke and all.

...If you wanna talk to me about that, or about anything, I guess, come and find me. I'm not gonna try to run away this time.

[Rich exhales slowly then, and then hoists his guitar up with a much brighter grin. It might look a tad ingenuine, but Rich is an expert at faking it until he makes it.]

Anyways, I've still been really into practicing my music and all, and I was kinda wondering if someone would wanna do a concert again? But instead of me just flying solo, we could all do our own sets of a couple songs? Hell, maybe some of us can start up bands, I've been wanting to do that for ages. If you wanna jam, hit me up!

Heh, almost too nice, huh? Don't worry about it! Most people are genuinely as nice as they act. And the people who are real jerks aren't good at hiding that.

[Jack certainly isn't good at hiding it... Rich is just an idiot.]

Sometimes paranoia is just what you think you need... if your last world was really intimidating, I wouldn't blame you.

When you look like me and walk into town armed, people tend to assume you're not there for a meal and a hot bath. Even when you are.

Yeah? I can't see you, but I do kind of know what that's like... my burn scars definitely get me stared at more than a little.

[gathersnomoss]

I was transformed by magic, so I don't look human. At least, not if you get a look at me, rather than just noticing a size and shape.

Well, that isn't a problem here at least? Lots of people here aren't exactly human-looking. I don't think any of us are really going to judge you on that. So... at least it's better here?

[gathersnomoss]

Yeah... I'll see how it goes.

[he's never really lived among strangers who didn't mind; he's had a few friends, but currently, those were people who had been forced to interact with him at first due to circumstances pushing them together.]

Hey, no pressure. If you aren't feeling up to socializing, that's okay too. Not all of us can be extroverts.

[Luckily, there are plenty of places to hide out when they aren't up for conversation.]

[gathersnomoss]

Given the close quarters, some level of socialization is inevitable.

You have a point there. Still, at least my roomies are okay if I need to keep to myself once in a while. Maybe yours will too?

[gathersnomoss]

One can only hope.
