Fib is briefly surprised to find Strawberry waiting there, but beams with a shade of gold not dissimilar to the orichalcum he's been working on. "Thank you Strawberry! I like to think I've gotten pretty decent at it over the last few years."

"Your people shot me out of a railgun, it was pretty sick. So what's the plan after this?"

"What? Why?" Fib briefly startled with small tongues of blue and purple, but quickly settles into his colorful baseline. "Uh, well I've still got the rest of the plates for the engine car to do, which is going to take up pretty much the rest of my day. Then it's dinner and bed for me, then tomorrow after breakfast it's off to Yomi. It's not a pleasant place, and I'll be pretty busy reviving kagemono and sending them back here for orientation and basic training."

"Hmmmm." She leans on a wall. "Sounds like a plan. I'll ask your buddies about Yomi tomorrow." She pauses for a moment. "Y'know, you are a man engulfed in magic rainbow flames building a train out of a shiny fantasy metal on a growing ringworld inhabited by dinosaurs and surrounded by people that you have casually rescued from hell by bringing them back to life as part of your day job of walking the multiverse." She inhales.

"If you were anyone else I would've told them that they've peaked."

Fib blushes in green at the unexpected flurry of personal compliments. "Th-thank you! I'm glad to hear you think I haven't peaked. I think? Oh, and, you should definitely be carefully about who you ask, and probably stick with Sniper or with one of senior engineers. A lot of the others are still kind of triggered by it if it's not talked around pretty circuitously."

He'll wait a moment in case there's more she'd like to chat about, before getting back to praying for more orichalcum.

"I'll be careful." She stretches. "I'm going to explore. I'll be back for dinner." She walks out. Maybe she can find a good spot to do parkour for cash, she has recently come to appreciate the value in a wingsuit and she has seen those on sale in Rorch.

"Man, I wonder how big this world is. A giant ring circumnavigating a star." It was probably orders of magnitude bigger than whatever her first guess would be.

She's enveloped in light as she crouches, completing her transformation in the middle of the arc of her jump, as she lands she braces herself for the next one.

The whooping magical girl leapfrogs across the alien landscape, in a simple celebration of existence and an uncovering of new unknowns.
