Hello, passengers! Today begins just like normal, but it’s far from an ordinary day. On this fine point in space-time, passengers will notice a little something different when it comes to the glyphs marked on the backs of their hands.

They're glowing. The light is a deep shade of blue, and it's slowly blinking on and off. Maybe it's searching for something? It's entirely possible, because affected passengers will also feel a gentle tugging sensation that stops once they've come face to face with their partners. The glyph will switch to glowing a steady blue once partners are synced with each other, and they'll be able to communicate telepathically with each other, too.

Have fun getting to know each other a little better! Or, you know. Yelling at each other. Just try to keep the murder to a minimum, OK?

There isn't much that truly frightens Jack; she herself is the stuff of nightmares, literally, and when you're on the giving end of fears, it's a little harder to end up on the receiving side. Still, the electricity is unexpected, and she takes a step back when Lucy approaches her. Not because she's scared of her, of course - just because she'd like to avoid an electrocution. She can't imagine that would be fun.

"It's the partnering thing," she answers, because she paid attention to what the kid on the video screen told people that first day, after the crash. "It's like Bluetooth pairing - once you connect with your partner you'll stop flashing." She holds up her own hand, and what do you know - it stops blinking and glows a nice solid blue.

At least Lucy Fugue's not one who attempts to intimidate, unlike some of the others. Not if there's no calculated reason to fight, at least, and as of now there isn't. She doesn't share Jane's strong opinions about Jack yet. She needs more information to analyze before drawing any conclusions.

Wʜᴇʀᴇ ᴅɪᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ʟᴇᴀʀɴ ᴛʜɪs? It seems Jane either hadn't taken careful notice of the orientation or hadn't passed the information on. Both were equally likely, Lucy figures. She observes the change in the glyphs with interest. Wʜᴀᴛ ᴅᴏᴇs ᴛʜɪs ᴘᴀʀᴛɴᴇʀsʜɪᴘ ᴇɴᴛᴀɪʟ?

"I paid attention," Jack answers, flatly, then decides to be a little more helpful with her answer, adding: "That first day, after we crash-landed, there was a kid on the screen in Navi's room. I listened to what he told the others. He said he'd been here a while."

Jack hasn't had a need for controlling her thoughts until now, so she isn't very good at it, and it's likely Lucy will be able to hear her sarcastic inner monologue: Apparently it entails getting stuck with all of you.

"You get a fun new brain roommate," is what she says aloud, with a tight-lipped smile. Jack is not thrilled about this in the least, especially since she knows it's only a matter of time before Jane returns.
