Jamie and X coming to Eureka.
It may be awkward for X-23 and Jamie, transitioning from Milliways to Eureka. SARAH herself does not notice much of anything when she moves back and forth, but she advised her two guests to sit down on the living room couch before they left the bar.
"Exterior sensors have resumed function," SARAH announces. "Welcome to Eureka."
"Exterior sensors have resumed function," SARAH announces. "Welcome to Eureka."

Meditation helps with motion sicknesss and disorientation, apparently.
"You are okay, Jamie?"
no subject
"Fit as a fiddle. You?"
no subject
Beat.
"There is no one outside, SARAH?"
no subject
"There is also no alternate forms of transportation available this far from town. I hope walking is acceptable."
Suddenly, it occurs that it might have been better to mention this earlier.
no subject
(Though trains are always nice.)
no subject
"I do not mind."
She may already be starting to head for the door.
no subject
A wall panel close to Jamie recesses itself; a small shelf moves forward on its track. Two devices, no wider than two fingers and each with an important-looking button on the left, are revealed.
"Take them -- just press the button to call me if I can help with anything.
"Thank you."
no subject
"We'll check in every so often, all right? So you won't have to fret."
no subject
"Yes."
Beat.
"I do not want you to worry."
It is still an alien thought, but--
Jamie would know, right?
no subject
"Good luck."
no subject
Another important thing to note: nobody else around. Jamie turns to X, as they walk, and says, "We're going to need a reason to be in town, in case anyone asks us. You can follow my lead on that; I've done this loads."
no subject
Hey, X is good at this, too.
no subject
"There's no reason not to use our own names, really. Would you mind being Hamilton, or is there a surname you'd rather?"
no subject
Beat.
"It is okay."
no subject
"I've used plenty. It doesn't much matter."
no subject
Eventually--
"Should I start chewing the gum now?"
no subject
"Did SARAH tell you chewing was a common custom in Eureka?" he hazards.
no subject
Beat.
"But I have seen teenagers chewing it before."
A second, longer pause.
"And Lilly said it was okay."
no subject
He'd rather get in and see the customs for himself, but to each their own. (And SARAH has assured him that his pants and t-shirt are quite usual clothing for her time period.)
no subject
She also fights the urge to tuck her button-down shirt into her pants.
The flapping is getting annoying. At least the tank top is comfortable.
no subject
Eventually he can see the town in front of them. He can see people, too.
He turns to X and says, "All right, you're sure you remember the directions Mum gave us?"
Aside from the slip of 'Mum', he's mimicking X's accent fairly well.
no subject
X nods, just once.
"I have a very good memory."
This is not a lie.
And if she chooses to take them by the cafe--it's only so their story makes sense.
And it's on the way.
no subject
(Jamie remembers how to be a brother very well.)
no subject
Hearing the two new arrivals outside of Café Diem, Vincent waves them in from outside. "Just sit down anywhere; I'll take your order in a minute."
no subject
"Okay. Thanks."
She looks at Jamie.
"Don't be picky. I'm hungry."
