[There is a girl in pink wandering around, a mildly curious expression on her face, as she runs her hands along the cave walls]

Where am I...?

... You may.

Um... O-okay then... A name for you...

[Well, there's always something that could describe her, but.... not really knowing her, it's kind of difficult to describe.]

[I could always go with something about her physically, but... well, I don't really know enough words for that, and Brownie just doesn't have the right sound.]

[M-maybe if I said something that's similar to the others' names... but... they have really different names don't they? Blood and Dove and Justice...]

[What about Ikki though? Did he ever have a name here? Did someone know him when he first arrived? Why don't I know this? Wouldn't that be something a teammate should know?!]

[What if I pick a name and she doesn't like it or someone else already has it? I don't know everyone here! What if no one would want to use it?! What if she hates it? It could be horrible if I picked a name and she thought it was stupid! Maybe it would be better if someone else gave her one! I can't even think of anything, and I don't really know anything that would be good to call her. I mean, what if she's nothing like the name I pick. She'd be horrified to find out and then it'd be even worse and she'd hate me forever for giving her such a horrible suggestion and --]

[It she going to melt? Or combust?

...

That probably wouldn't be good.]

[Reaches out to pet Miranda's hair.]

Don't worry about it.

It's not worth suddenly dying over.

I-I'm really sorry! I-I'm really not... I mean... m-maybe you should stick with Sis. I-it's not a bad name, really... I think.

[Seems to consider that a moment.]

...

I like it.

... R-really?

[Nods.]

I-I'm glad then. E-even if I didn't really pick it. I'm really glad you like it.

Thank you.

U-um... H-have people told you about this place yet? Are you hungry? I think there's some dinner left over still. I could warm it up for you.

You can tell me more.

Um... W-well... we play games for the Judges to get our memories back. We just got two new teams today. [pointing across the cavern] They're Corvus and Lynx so now we have fourteen colored teams here. There's also Delphinus and Pavo, Lacerta and Canis, Cepheus and Orion, Monoceros and Lepus, and Hydra and Vulpecula. Everyone has partner teams who they can trust in and work with. We can stay over at their dorm overnight without getting into trouble and we can give them food or things without having to trade for it. Um... there are a few other rules that can get us into trouble too. If we do, it's the black team -- Ophiuchus -- who are sent to punish us. They also have other tasks too, and sometimes they give us special things for doing tasks for them. They had bacon once and fruit and things. Everything has to be paid for though, and the tasks are really strange sometimes like punching people or letting them taze you or getting things for them.... um...

So ... they hurt one way or the other.

Ah... the black team? Um... I guess so, but some of them are really nice too like Wolf and Kieran and River and Slick. They're not bad people a lot of the time. It's... just part of their jobs here.

Strange...

So it's okay if you're nice...

What is?

To be cruel.

N-no! No, it's really not okay!
