[here they are at the bowling alley!
nahida is ... well ... trying to find a bowling ball that isn't too heavy for her to lift. one of the lanes is set up for a game, so apparently she is trying to play.
unfortunately, she is tiny, so this is a little easier said than done. help, monika.]

[her baby hands...]
Why are all of these so heavy?
Why are all of these so heavy?
It seems a little excessive...
[she finds one of the Bowling Balls For Children and is able to pick it up]
Ah, this should do.
[she finds one of the Bowling Balls For Children and is able to pick it up]
Ah, this should do.
Oh, good. You found one.
[She is still going to poke around to find more Bowling Balls for Children, since Nahida will need more than one to play anyway, and move them to the top of the line in the pinsetter dispenser thingy.]
Well? Want to try knocking a couple of those pins down?

Yes, let's see how this goes!
[she moves to the edge of the bowling lane and... rolls the ball! (runs to go roll a dice - d1 will be 0 pins knocked over, d11 will be all ten pins knocked over)
she beams when eight of the pins get knocked down.]
Oh! Look at that!

Oh! Look at that!
I didn't think I would get that many of them!
[she'll go again for the second throw and... ping! she gets the remaining pins. wow.]
Hehe, you next!
[she'll go again for the second throw and... ping! she gets the remaining pins. wow.]
Hehe, you next!
You're a natural.
[Meanwhile, Monika takes her first throw! And rolls a 1 so none of the pins are knocked down. She closes her eyes when the bowling ball falls into the edge of the lane and rolls past the pins without touching the pins.
Then she only rolls a 2 for her second throw, and ends up knocking down a single pin.]
... Okay, well, that was terrible.

[oh... hm.
nahida frowns a little.]
That doesn't seem right... was there something weird about the ball?

[Welcome to (throws dart) the park. Monika is sitting on one of the swings and staring blankly at her phone, occasionally starting to type something — before she clicks her tongue and leaves her finger pressed against the edge of her screen, where the backspace button would be.
This is probably fine.]
This is probably fine.]
[probably fine indeed.
anyway, nahida often comes to the park and sit on the swings to think, so ... she's on her way here when she spots her. she pauses, and then approaches carefully, her voice soft when she speaks up.]
Monika?

Monika?
[she is so short.]
Hello. [...] How are you feeling...?
Hello. [...] How are you feeling...?
It's been a very long day.
[trials!! trials. and tomorrow is going to feel even longer.]
...I hope you'll try to get some rest tonight.
[even if it might be hard to sleep after All Of That]

Don't worry. I think I'm around the point where I might just fall asleep as soon as my head touches the pillow...
[Or whatever passes for a pillow with their rare unicorn beds.
Anyway, she gestures at the other swing.]
Do you want to sit with me, Nahida?

[was monika one of the lucky few to get an actual bed, she wonders...
but she nods, and takes a seat on the swing.]
Sure. ...it's peaceful out here, isn't it?

I wish we hadn't had to wait until we had teams to have a place to live... although I can kind of understand why now.
[since they're. restricted and all.]
...I still wonder why we weren't able to find this place before. Of course, I'm glad we have it now, but... how this all works is still kind of a mystery to me.

[sports are a lot when you're the god of nerds. nahida is looking for somewhere peaceful and quiet to sit for a bit after the olympics are finished, which will be when she finds monika.]
Hello, Monika.
Hello, Monika.
[honestly she is probably sitting on a basic chair she's dragged outside of her warehouse to get some fresh air.]
...Monika. [she smiles faintly.] I'm sorry for worrying you earlier...
