[ their shoulders droop a little as they look at the floor ] I wish I could tell you. I don't know. Time isn't passing back home, since there's this a whole... sync thing I don't get? It passes differently. [ they wave a hand ] But for how long we'll be here, it's until we "fix" things. Except we still don't know how, exactly.
[ They groan, loud and long, throwing their head back ]
Ughhhhhh. I KNOW. Everything's going wrong and people are dying and on top of everything we're not even close to being in the lead? [ swan, priorities. ]
Uh, yeah! What the fuck is up with that? Points? Please tell me that's not alive people. Actually, if it's alive people, I don't want to know. I'd rather live in ignorance.
And you get that how, exactly? I know you've explained this, but listen, I'm not so good at picking up plot explanations the first time, because sometimes people bullshit and lie!
And I don't take notes between sessions. That's for overachievers.
Oh, uh, your PHS collects nova if it's near you, and then keeps track of it. And then how you gather nova is a mix of existing and what we ask you guys to do sometimes? I don't know! A bunch of people got nova without us knowing how, and this place is useless and won't tell me ANYTHING because it's BROKEN.
[ they started off calm and got increasingly frustrated, to the point that they summon another pillow to scream into ]
[Such comfort. Good relating to another humanoid.]
Geez, and you guys are supposed to be the NPCs that dole everything out. You mean the side-quest we got last week? I guess that's the thing you asked us to do, and we got Macguffin from that. So people got some of the Macguffin [sorry he REFUSES to call it nova] just . . . randomly.
I understood like, half of what you said. [ but they take the pillow off to speak properly ] Yeah, the quest thing last week. And it's not random, but whatever you did, since we don't know who exactly collected the nova or when, just that it's from our team, we don't know how yet. And I'm supposed to give you guys guidance but I can't help if I don't know what's happening. [ they seem to have calmed down as they recognized taako was not ready. for an emotion. ] I know it must be awful. I promise I'm trying.
A dude? It's a you. Or anyone else. Just like, a person.
Guess it's mostly gender-neutral, 'cause I'm not exactly a strict adherer to those rules, but I guess I'm just asking how you want to be, uh, casually referred to whatever?

[ was it obvious, swan. also please don't tell anyone the trick is to just ask their pronouns ]
