[ Jo's on her way to the bank with the ticket the creepy woman gave her when she turns on the feed, so it bounces a little as she walks. ] Okay, other "transports", quick question: who all here thinks the woman that greeted us is completely insane, and who all bought her load of crap? [ Jo's not going to reveal, in so many words, how she feels but it's probably pretty obvious by the tone of her voice and the look on her face. ]

She pauses in front of the door, weighing the key in her hand for a moment, then moves to slide it into the lock. Part of her wants to say screw it and go find her own place, but she's not entirely sure how well that would work out. Judging by the woman and how adamant she was about this being her key to her apartment, she figures moving isn't exactly easy.
So she opens the door and steps inside, slipping the key from the lock as she shuts the door with her foot. Her thumb trails over the edge of the metal while she glances around the place. ]
action }
Anyway.
She must be a new transport so he doesn't ask about that, nor her circumstances or whatever else. ]
Since it's your apartment too, you can come in.
[ Instead of hovering by the door and all. ]
action }
Ah!
[-And as she's reeling back to rub at her nose, she finally notices Jo's entrances and catches the end of his sentence. A blonde girl's just entered the room (both of them were blonde? Man, she felt a little left out..) So that meant...]
Hey! Are you another roommate?
action }
Yeah. The name's Jo. [ She takes a few steps further into the apartment, hands moving into the back pockets of her jeans. ] How long have you guys been here?
action }
[ Not that he's been counting or feels like this is his place being invaded or anything. ]
I'm Barnaby.
action }
I'm Maya! Nice to meet you, um... [Slightest hesitation as she tries to figure out how to address her] .. Ms. Jo.
action }
Instead, they seem to be Grumpy and Cheerful. Interesting combination. ] Nice to meet you guys, too. [ I guess. ] I guess you guys have already staked claims on the rooms.
action }
ANYWAY he nods rather than say "nice to meet you" or anything, but that totally counts right. ]
I have, yes, though all of the rooms seem to be built the same way.
action }
I'm investigating, though, and I'll share whatever I find!
[Maya doesn't expect to be staying in these rooms anyway, so] They're the same! But if you wanna trade with me, you can. I barely have anything in there anyway.
action }
Jo glances towards the hall, in the direction the rooms must be in, and then shifts her attention back towards her roommates. ] Oh, no, it's fine, I just didn't want to snag a room that was already taken. I'm the last one here, anyways, so...
[ She pauses for a moment, brow furrowing. ] I am the last one, right? It's only us three?
action }
There are only three bedrooms, so it'd be logical if it were.
[ Heaven forbid they also be expected to share bedrooms. ]

If you're willing to train, you can contact a member of the Initiative and make your schedule. It's daily, more or less.
action }
You don't have to train?
action }
She's got a similar reaction to Barnaby's response, too, though she doesn't bother repeating the question. ]
action }
action }
[Woah, things are getting a little too serious here]
Hey, have you guys explored this place yet?
action }
[ Jo just kind of raises an eyebrow at the question. ] I literally stopped by the bank and then came straight here, so no. Have you? [ She glances from Maya to Barnaby. ]
action }
[ He shakes his head. ]
No, I haven't yet.
action }
Maybe we can go on an expedition, then! You know, the three musketeers.. a roomie adventure kind of thing.
action }
[ The three musketeers. Jo's eyebrow lifts slightly. ] I think I'm just gonna go crash, actually. [ And by that she means look over as much of the network as she possibly can. ] Maybe a rain check on the exploring?
action }
While there's safety in numbers, a spur of the moment expedition isn't the wisest idea.
