[ There's a knock on his door and when he opens it, it's Phoenix with a bookbag and a sheepish smile: ]

Ready for a history lesson?

[tilts his head, but letting him in]

What sort of history lesson?

You wanted to know more the other day, right? Everything that happens here is more-or-less a history lesson.

Ah. Yeah, I did want to know.

[gestures for him to take a seat]

[ nods and moves to take the seat, ]

I wasn't here at the very beginning, but I've been here most of the time we've been on board now. [ A beat, as he tries to think of how to start and decides- ]

What do you want to know about most?

[he also takes a seat, putting a hand to his chin as he thinks of an answer]

All of it, if I'm being honest.

But as a starting point . . . the dating game. You all seemed to recognize some of them.

Sure, there's details we've all been learning.

[ A beat. ]

I've shown you what I know of Wilhelm. I've met him, too, here in the suite. I'm sure you've looked around, but the pink door that has 'the Legends of the Unholy Disorder' on it is... A place where we can connect with older family members.

Family members who've - I don't think they've died necessarily because they're Legends. They disappeared, because they were forgotten?

[mulls that over, frowning a little. He nods after a moment]

So would a performance like the dating game be a way to bring them back? Because we're learning about them in some manner?

Yeah, they've started being able to do more because people are remembering them. They're the ones who renovated our suites.

I spent a while trying to talk to them? So they've given me a couple things.

[ For emphasis he tugs out an old chain with a rusted coin on it from beneath his shirt collar and moves to the bag where he takes out a giant chicken plushie and puts an iridescent feather next to it. ]

The chicken and feather is from Riu. Who I think was 'Smile' in the dating performance. They said they liked chickens and she was supposed to be a young school girl. It fit the vibe.

[he leans closer to look at the items, humming softly]

I didn't know you could speak to them outside of the performances.

Are these just representations of them . . . ? Or are they items that belonged to them at some point?

They used to not be able to, but they can now.

[ He shakes his head. ] I'm not sure about the coin. I should ask, it was given to me after I introduced myself. The stuff from Riu was a present to me, after I visited them a lot.
