Nova would walk through the doors of Prota (the restaurant), her movements a bit aggressive and giving away her agitation. She couldn't help it. This was a very...strange situation. One she'd hoped would have happened much longer ago. Now? She wasn't nearly as sure about her feelings as she used to be. It created complications. What...what side was she even on? There were now THREE.
She'd head towards a table, the restaurant pretty empty as usual since it was past lunch and not quite dinner, and more or less collapse on a chair with a hard sigh.

Daniel pokes his head out from the back, curious to see if it's a customer. Once he sees Nova, however, he drops what he's doing and takes his apron off, walking over.
"Hard day, Nova?"
He asks, going to sit down next to her.

"Not quite." she'd say, raising a finger to tell him to wait as she gets up and grabs two beers. She wasn't going to make him stand back up to get them, for once.
Once she set them on the table, she'd pop hers open and take a hard drink.
"There's good news, bad news and neutral news. Got a preference?"

Oh. This was something important, if she needed the beer first.
Daniel thumbs his own open, then watches her.
"Nah. Hit me with all of it."

"Brave." she'd say before taking another drink. Just to try and figure out how to start.
We'll start off with the good news and work our way from there.
"Alright, well, first of all...I have evidence that Junior is alive out there." she starts, knowing it had been a source of worry for him.
"The bad news is how I found out."

Daniel's momentarily surprised, keeping him from even taking a drink.
"That's... that's very good. But what happened? Is he hurt?"

"I doubt it."
She can't really know for sure, but, something tells her he wasn't the one losing.
"He was chasing down your older brother I take it. I saw Terry's clothing scorched when he fell out from some kind of tear in the sky. So. Yeah. Terry's in this world. He was also being chased by a Reclaimer and some rabbit lady."

The frown that forms on Daniel's face is the stuff of legends, and he leans forward.
"...you're kidding."
He knows she's not, but... he doesn't know what else to say, right away.

"That's...not all." she grimaces.
"I...may have helped him with some other people...and I may have been branded a traitor for it."

"Oh good."
He just drops his beer on the table, letting some of it spill before he grabs it to right it.
"...just.... just good."

"AND."
Since the fun never ends.
"Prota's divided in two. Our families and half the population are part of a traditionalist group trying to keep Prota as it was under Strike. The other half want to do it different so everyone's fighting."

"How is that possible?"
Daniel slumps over.
"I thought the programming prevented infighting."

"It's hard to say what's changed when we haven't been there. But Terry's the only one with that sort of information. You'd...have to see him if you needed to know more."
She'd admittedly left as fast as she could so that she could find some time to think.

Daniel stays slumped.
"....I don't want to."

"Yeah..."
She lets that hang there for a bit, thinking away quietly as she drank.
After a while of dead air, she'd inhale audibly.
"Danny. What do we still believe in?"
