[Nobori is standing outside and not in horrible weather for once! He's recording by the fountain, while Chandela watches the water shoot through the air, flames dancing as it flits from left to right and back again, perfectly cheerful in stark contrast to its grim-looking human companion.]

The City feels congested once more. It remains to be seen whether or not these guests are of the dangerous sort. Are we to play dispatcher again?

I wonder if we've done something to offend these so-called deities... unless someone else has a better explanation for so many curses in rapid succession. I cannot wait for the last stop; I've grown tired of counting off the miles.

[He's too uneasy for the usual "all aboard!" closing, it seems?

He adds as though it were an afterthought:]

Look both ways, listen, and proceed with caution.

Old habits die hard, Madame. [He acknowledges her with a nod, arms now crossed behind his back.]

I am Nobori and I was one of the two Subway Masters of the Raimon City Underground. My only job here is to keep track of new arrivals, however I doubt the permanence of your stay. There's too much of an influx, today.

[He does glance down briefly, but avoids staring.

Chandela, sensing the third person's arrival, abandons its fountain-watching to fly towards her in curiosity.] Shandera-shan~? [It certainly seems friendly!]

There is a hospital in this City should you feel the need to visit one.

[Subway worker. She doesn't know why he says that with such pride, but then she's always been a judgmental little rich girl.]

I will be going there shortly.

[She disliked this interdimensional travel business. Some of the girls she had gone to school with had powers of that variety, it struck her as unpredictable at best. It concerned her what it might do to an already rather unstable pregnancy.]

Why keep track of arrivals?

[brothertragedy]

[He's Japanese! Even train pushers take their jobs so seriously that you'd think the entire subway, no, their entire country depended on how well they did their jobs.]

Take care of yourself.

Because another keeps track of departures and I hate for a job to be done halfway. [Also, the man likes paperwork a little too much.]

What does it matter who comes and goes, if it is so frequent?
