"That's good! It really isn't so bad," the Balladeer agrees. There's a few questionable types running around New York, but most of the rifties he's met are perfectly nice. "I actually like it here! It's like a free vacation."

Most people are at least ambivalent, he knows. No matter how good things get here, it'll never be their home. But that's exactly why he enjoys it! He's not going to bother going into detail about all that, though, not right now. "And these dream things are interesting too. The ones I've seen have mostly been fine." That thing in the kitchen was the worst of it, and he can sorta see what it was going for. Slapstick comedy is just not his genre.
