The Grandfather of the Reunion

Prologue 3-4

They're in the trees!

Starting major memory playback with: A different perspective for enhanced serotonin dose

[Inside the back carriage of W's 'borrowed' armoured semi-truck, are the entire Union movement main cast, either leaning on the walls of the truck, or sitting down, using the crates of provisions as chairs, waiting to be taken to safety. The ride was silent, with only the rattles and rumbles of the armour jingle jangling from the outside making the sudden noise.]

[Daniel is operating the doors at the time, and not being the most talkative person he is, remained silent until he has a reason to open the doors. He does admire the scenery using the windows. Frostnova sometimes sneaks a look, towards Daniel's direction, who apparently notices it, but decided not to ruin her moment.]

[Gordon was obviously next to his best friend at the time, who's clinging onto his arm, and napping on it, using it as some sort of teddy bear. He eyes the main cast individually, and gulps nervously as he finds a few of them staring right back at him, making direct eye contact.]

[He scratches the side of his neck, sweating, not from the heat, but from awkwardness as he tries to find ways to entertain himself.]

[Eventually, Talulah, upon consistently eyeing Crownslayer and Gordon up and down, decides to talk to him.]

Talulah: "I do wonder, Mister Monroe, just what did you and Crownslayer went through to make her look at you as if you're her precious invisibility ring?"

Gordon: "Come again?"

Frostnova: "I'm sorry, my fault."

Gordon: "Ah, right... Well, it's...probably because I...was being myself?"

Talulah: "And...please bear more specifics?"

Gordon: "Look, I...trying to...remember stuff is not my strong suit. I...would like to forget some of those, and I, uh, accidentally, might've...indefinitely forget some...good ones, on the way and-"

Skullshatterer: "Cut to the chase, you carrot, why does Crownslayer like you?"

Gordon: "Carrot?"

W: "He's...referring to your jacket."

Gordon: "Wait, my jacket is orange? That...might makes more sense actually. Okay, uh, I...to...answer your question, um-"

Skullshatterer: "It's not my question, it's her's." *Points at Talulah, who waves at Gordon casually.* "Just translated it from Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness."

Gordon: "... How do people even come up with those damn words?"

W: "Answer the question, damn it."

Talulah: "Now now, let's not pressure him."

Gordon: "Look, I... I just don't know, okay? It's...by damn chance, I think. Like... I'm...not exactly much of a man, like what my dad kept trying to do to me. I, uh-"

W: "Yeah, you're not exactly much of a man now that you kept saying it."

Frostnova: "Wu! Be nice!"

W: "What? He wants to believe he's not a man, then he's not a man. Like Alex over here."

Skullshatterer: "You're on thin ice, Wu."

Gordon: "I believe she's right. Like... I..."

Talulah: "I'm gonna change the subject now, if it makes you feel uncomfortable."
