[ souda has a completely different type of inappropriate language that is usually just him continuously putting his foot in his mouth. hajime thinks it's endearing. ]
Anyone will be lucky to be buds with you, Hotaru-chan.
That doesn't make you any less of a good friend. A lot of people here have things about them that makes them hesitant to come together with everyone else!
[ it may not be the same reason as being possessed by some evil spirit or. whatever it is. but still. ]
I guess... that's true. I'm not what's possessing me, and what's possessing me is not me.
[ She nods, buoyed by Hajime's words. ]
Okay, I'll try to think like that more. I'm not the only one with problems, and while I hope it's not the case, some people could have it worse than I do, and they deserve friends, too.
she mentioned it to two ppl... IT DOESN'T SEEM IMPORTANT TO BRING UP
[ Hotaru is all about believing in people, but she hesitates on blind faith because she wouldn't have blamed anyone if they chose not to believe her or to believe in her. Even so, she wants to believe in Hajime's words with all her heart. ]
We'll crumble... United, we stand. Divided, we fall. Is that it?
look.... no one has asked her if she has shared bodies with a murderous alien? so it's fine
Right! I mean, we've been doing pretty well here, haven't we?
[ like... there was the toilet issue and how badly they organized the base before annabeth showed up. and maybe their priorities aren't always pointed in the right direction? but overall, the crew members have done a fairly decent job at adapting into this new situation they've all been forced into. and despite all the very different personality types and arguments they might have, they more or less get along. especially when it matters?
hajime thinks they are doing pretty well, indeed. ]
I don't know everyone here yet, and some of the people I do know, it's not well! But I think that if things got rough, they would still be there to support me.
[ It may not be the best organized crew around, but it's a very well-meaning crew that responds to crises appropriately as they pop up. Probably. Well, Hotaru does think they've handled thins pretty well. It's not like she thought anyone knew anything about plumbing, so the toilet thing is forgivable? Or maybe she likes to forgive. ]
Yes, I believe that, too. I've never encountered so much support in one place in such little time. It's... honestly amazing. It's like a fairy tale or a dream.
[ She honestly still can't believe how kind everyone is on base, but it makes being stuck on Iniidae so nice and a lot less worrisome than she would consider it otherwise. Normally, she'd be thinking about if she should think about when the other shoe drops, but... she has already started to think that's not the case here. ]
Maybe that's why we were brought here? The planet thought that we could all help somehow because of something... [ she pokes at hotaru's shoulder ] heroic inside of all of us!
[ and then she laughs. ]
Or it could have been totally random! I have no idea.
[ Hotaru's cheeks redden. Hajime has said similar things before about how she could be a hero, too, but the impact isn't lessened every time. ]
I guess it's a mystery we'll have to solve, or maybe the answer will be revealed when we all get to go home. It'd be nice... if we could all be heroes, though.
[ maybe not immediately, and maybe not in some flashy way that a lot of people would expect out of a word like hero but. hajime has a lot of faith in the people here, even if she doesn't know them all that well. ]

[ Because Hotaru is still a little intimidated of Rin. ]
no subject
[ if hajime knew hotaru was scared of rin, she'd also say he isn't scary? she and rin cook together. ]
I'm sure you'd be good friends. [ or like... okay friends. souda can be a little. not kid friendly with his word choice. ]
no subject
[ If Hotaru doesn't mind Karkat's language, she'd be okay with Souda's, too. Probably. ]

I don't know about that. I'm still a little dangerous even if I've found ways to manage it.
[ Still, that Hajime says that so easily makes Hotaru smile. ]

has hajime told anyone about berg katze yet
[ She nods, buoyed by Hajime's words. ]
Okay, I'll try to think like that more. I'm not the only one with problems, and while I hope it's not the case, some people could have it worse than I do, and they deserve friends, too.

[ she traces the shape of what looks like a house into the air. ]
The base is our home for now and all of us are the foundation. If we don't work together, then the base won't be worth much.
HAJIME...berg katze is important??
We'll crumble... United, we stand. Divided, we fall. Is that it?

We're going to be friends for a long time, right?

[ she shifts the position of their hands so it's less of a hand shake and more. actual hand holding now. ]
I promise.

She moves closer to Hajime and wraps her free arm around the older girl in a hug. ]
