They wake up lying on the ground.
Outdoors.
It's a bright, clear day.
Their body feels different.
Who's in front?
Warm, eager curiosity, with a side of playful smirk? Okay feels like it's Sable.
The Pirates wake up in the sky

"There might be no particular rush, but I don't necessarily want to wait on this, either. What sorts of art do you like to do?"

She also provides a variety of accessories, e.g. a sleek metal case for the sketchpad that has clasps to hold it shut, (removeable, if necessary) unfoldable legs on the back to stand it up with, and some tools for scoring paper precisely, to go with the roll of 'scrap' paper.

Neo claps her hands happily and scoots in to look everything over, bouncing like Ruby in a cookie store.

Y'know what, this is a time for celebratory kisses. She closes the case, bounds to her feet, and scoops Momo into a twirl and kisses her.

Oh, gosh. She's not used to this, you know!
...Which is not at all to be read that she might even remotely want it to stop, because this is very nice, actually, it's just continually surprising!

And they haven't had a girlfriend since before the eggshell cracked and before Neo joined the system. It's a bit of an adjustment for everyone.
That doesn't stop Neo from twirling Momo into her lap, sitting down in the same motion, though. She cups her cheek and leans in for another kiss.

This time, Momo is possessed of enough presence of mind to kiss Neo.
"...We probably shouldn't get carried away again." As much as some part of her really wants to, even knowing that that may be Company influence speaking for all she knows and wanting to spite them for it.

She smirks at Momo, almost daring her, then nods and sets her back on her feet, kipping up beside her.
«What next?»

...Hm.
"I feel as though I should turn that question around on you. What do you think we could do to better prepare ourselves?"
Oh, and while you're thinking about that, catch.

Neo dives backward at the ledge in something like a backward handspring and twists to web the falling dummy.
the-void-beneath
She considers the question while she grabs the dummy and swings back up, then sets it down next to Momo.

«Maybe we need to check what kinds of environments we can blend into? How's your library of clothing types?» she signs, once she lands.

"...Ooh. That might be a problem. I can definitely make clothes that would blend in in Asia in most any time period, or in the industrial age anywhere, though I can't guarantee they'd be fashionable - but I'm not sure quite what I should do for medieval Europe or fantasy versions thereof, or the Americas in a similar timeframe... I would lean on my own foreignness, but that won't work for you. Hm."

Neo taps her lip for a moment, then replies, «Buy an artbook or two? Fantasy fashion and historical medieval fashion?»
how-it's-made
"Seems workable, if we have enough luck to hit somewhere modern enough to have that sort of thing before we hit somewhere medieval. ...Come to think of it, we should probably think about what sorts of things we'd want to introduce - or avoid introducing - to worlds that haven't caught up to wherever we are when we get there, technologically speaking. We're not going to be dealing with the plot every minute we're in a world, and we'll likely be close to important people, given the plot-relevant deployments. I'd say that guns are generally a 'no', germ theory is generally a 'yes', and industrial revolutions should be deployed on a case-by-case basis?"
