Hez didn't really care about Harahel's little 'research project', nor about much else going on - she was often detached from what was happening around her, preferring to just blend in the background and let her partner do the socializing. Lin had no idea what to be more baffled by; the floating piano, or the guy studying it with exuberant intent.

"I'm not gonna bother..." she sighed in exasperation.

"Certainly doesn't look like it," Lin nodded. "Well, time's a'wasting! I know I'm being rude about not asking your names or anything, but that anomaly isn't gonna fix itself! We can handle the introductions on the way there!"

Lin grabbed Hez's hand and guided the group out of the museum, pulling up a scribbled map of Remniche to find the closest route to the freak triple-fusion dungeon. They encountered Dice loitering around the facility's main steps.

"Not just something unusual, but an uber-mega catastrophe if we don't get moving!" Lin exclaimed. "I'm assuming you're here for the same reason these folks are. I don't have time to explain right now, but I'll tell you everything while we're on the move. That if, if you're planning on joining us. We could use all the help we could get for this trip."
