Madison giggled at the grand gesture (and the banana), then sobered slightly. "Hey, um. I was kinda, like, wondering... did you guys have problems with seeing monsters and ghosts and things too? Before, I mean, not here? Wherever you came from?"

The urge to deny it was reflexive, but Jordan pushed it back. That had been another life. "Yeah," he answered. "Always did." He shrugged one shoulder trying for casual and sort of failing. "Learned not to tell anyone about it. You, too?"

"I always assumed it was some sort of psychotic hallucination my brain concocted. But ah... I'm still a bit nervous about dark places, ahahaha..." Jerry mumbled, pushing his glasses up his nose as he moved another folded napkin into his growing pile.

"Quickest way to the psych ward," Jordan agreed. "Logical in the circumstances, right?" He stared into his coffee, a faint frown appearing between his eyebrows. "Well, the only logical conclusion with the available information."
There'd always been a flaw in that argument, though; it didn't explain why Andy could see them too. Even deep in denial, that had always troubled and unsettled him. Now, though, he wondered. If Andy had lived, would he be here too?

"Yeah, me too," Madison made a face. "I never, like, told anyone either. They'd think I was, like, crazy or something, y'know? And then I'd lose..."
... She couldn't think how to end the sentence. Friends? Popularity? Boys? Mall invitations? It all sounded so stupid now. So completely stupid and useless. "Stuff," she finished, awkwardly. "That I didn't want to lose. So."

"Well," Jerry tilted his head to one side as he examined the careful work in front of him, "If we hadn't made the decisions we made, we wouldn't be on this grand adventure, would we? I much prefer this alternative to... what could have been. Ahaha... Here! Put these on everyone!" He immediately began passing out the napkin hats with a manic smile.

Madison stared at the hat. Put on... a napkin hat? Here? There were other people here! Why would she want to put a napkin on her head-
...
She sighed, then plopped the hat atop her head.
"Yay."

"I think I agree. Given a choice between staying asleep and waking up and being able to do something about it, I'll take doing something about it." Jordan blinked at the makeshift hat being presented to him, then shrugged and put it on his head. Jerry reminded him of his high school chemistry teacher: not always all there, often bizarre, but so enthusiastic about his subject that you couldn't help liking him. Anyway, he'd already discarded a fair amount of his dignity this morning, and if he refused, he'd put a sharp crack in the tentative camaraderie the group was forming.
Robert probably wouldn't like it. Jordan smirked at the bigger man, half a challenge - would he decide to look silly with everyone else, or look silly by being the guy who refused to look silly?
