[Punctuality in planning is important: the ballroom itself will only be ready for guests at exactly 8 o'clock, bedecked in glittering golds and the red-green of Christmas' vestiges, still clinging to the old year. Dining tables surround a central dance floor, bars and buffets dot the edges of the room and both holly and mistletoe are expressed liberally through the interior.

Mingle, dance, eat and be merry! The New Year will come in at midnight - the band will play and the drinks will flow for long after.]

"Difficult" is really just a way of life here. Even the fun times have a way of torturing you. But they're mostly psychological.

[ She guesses that she hasn't had as much training as he has, but she's learned how to react and respond to others in fights, and dancing is like a fight where you don't constantly challenge the person. So long as she remembers that her goal isn't to drop him on the floor, she should be okay. And honestly, the shoes are helping. She doesn't wear heels very often, and she's starting to remember why. ]

We didn't have magic back in my world, either. Well, not really. And alien stuff was... limited. I know people who use magic here - I'm just glad they're not homicidal.

Like the events where they make you think you've lived a completely seperate life. Or the weird dreams we had around Christmas.

[Not to mention the whole idea of losing memories over time. That's what scares Bruce the most - losing memories of the people he's lost, the people who he only has in his memories now.

Without those, who would he be?]

People not being homicidal is always a plus -- we had too many people who were exactly that in my city.

[ She nods along as he speaks. ] Exactly. Even in the events where you're happy, when you come out of it... [ When they come out of those events, it's a shock to discover how different they are to their happy selves, how things will likely never be like the events where they were happy. ]

If you're going to say something like that, I have to ask - Where did you live? And just to be on the safe side, were you one of those homicidal people? [ She's teasing, Bruce. Really. Mostly.

Just doing her due diligence. ]
