-Ruby- It's not like we can do much about that right now.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

X: You two are instigating it.

<Snipped quote by Host>

-Ruby- We're just waiting. We can't do anything until Data gets here.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

X: *Sighs*
Allow me to rephrase. You two are being unnecessarily "mushy."

<Snipped quote by Host>

-Ruby- Siblings who don't poke fun at each other all the time exist, you know.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

X: Yes, but siblings who are not sickly sweet also exist.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

How?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

X: Ugh.

<Snipped quote by Host>

-Soren- We can tone it down.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Not sure. I wasn't there, so I don't know the specifics, but there a re always multiple ways to do something.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

X: Noted.

<Snipped quote by Host>

*we continue to wait, Soren playing violin under a sound-proof barrier so it doesn't irritate anyone*

<Snipped quote by Balance>

-*Appears through a portal*
Data: Hello.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

"No matter how bad the odds, there's always another way?" That seems to be a theme here.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

-Maddie- Yay! Data! Who's this?

<Snipped quote by Host>

Yep. You got it.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

My name is Spiral Horizon. It's a pleasure.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

How well does that work?

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

-Maddie- Nice to meet you! I'm Maddie Hatter!
-Soren- Are you here to help contribute mental power?

<Snipped quote by Host>

Pretty well, most of the time. Depends on how flexible you are.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Flexible as in adaptable?
