[ Chrono doesn't bother to close the door when he finally decides to try one of these rooms for himself. Something about the last few days (weeks) (months) has left him unwilling to stay in enclosed spaces too long, with no obvious path of exist. Too much like a lab or an undead-lined hallway.

But these concerns slowly melt away as he sets about instructing the AI, and the room gives way to a place that isn't a room at all.

Mountains rise up in the distance, framing a blue, clear sky, and a faint breeze rustles the treetops of a thick Michigan forest. Birdcalls ride that wind, and the air smells cleaner, fresher, than any moon base could reasonably boast. Where the blanket of trees ends, a large, glassy lake gleams in the sunlight. He takes care with this part—instructs the AI to make the water a temperature a bit too low to be entirely comfortable for swimming, knowing full well that this won't actually be a deterrent. But it wouldn't be right, otherwise.

He takes his time strolling from one familiar landmark to the next, having the computer make adjustments as necessary. He doesn't miss details, either; for all the times that Rosette brought him to this very place, his eyes had missed nothing. They were wide and all-absorbing, like someone who had been born anew and was discovering the world for the first time.

(Likely because, in all honesty, he had been.)

He stops once he circles back around to the open door—a black silhouette hanging oddly in the landscape, and the only giveaway that none of this is real. It's here that he surveys the scene as a whole, the sum of all its little memory-parts. ]


Perfect.

[ Well. There's still a thing or two missing. ]

... Almost.

[He gasped. That was for him? While he could have eaten a dozen muffins, he took only one. Yet he treated that one as if it were a treasure. He held it gently in two claws and he smelled it first. It smelled so good! Then he bit into it.

It tasted even better! He kept his mouth closed while he chewed though that did not stop him from smiling. He cooed, making a sound that would better fit a happy bird than a giant monster.]

[That is sort of endearing and terrifying at the same time. Kevin is not quite sure how to cope.]

...I say, someone like Jules Verne would be excited to meet you.

[Jules Verne? Francœur leaned his head in, wordlessly encouraging Kevin to continue. He had never heard of anyone being excited to meet him. Who could this person be? He wanted to know.]

A French author. He enjoys telling stories about journeys to the moon, voyages around the globe and such.

[He chirped excitedly. This Jules Verne was also from France? He wanted to meet him very much. His claws twitched as he chirped and waved around, looking at Kevin. Where was this author? Was he here?]
