Hey there. Thanks for telling Hope to bring me back - hopefully you all can get some use out of these vehicles I made. I think they're pretty neat.

How are you all liking the place? I forgot how messed up the city got before I died. It looks like Hope fixed some of it up, at least. I'm too low on power to do any real improvements, but this temporary facelift should last for a little longer. Enjoy the vacation while you can, uh - 'humans', right? That's what most of you are called?

Enjoy the vacation, humans, and the vehicles. I'm Tranquility, I made this city, and it's sure nice to be back.

That makes sense. It won't hurt you, though.

[outstandingbalance]

It doesn't seem like it will.

Like I said, I appreciate the sentiment. This is lovely.

But in the end, it's more playing with people's heads.

[fifthreturned]

That's true enough. You humans are very easy to affect in that way.

[outstandingbalance]

I guess we must be.

[fifthreturned]

You have interesting minds.

[outstandingbalance]

You think so? Hard to imagine how they could be interesting when you can manipulate them like this.

[fifthreturned]

You don't have any serious control over what you feel. You simply feel emotions, strongly or weakly, and can't stop yourselves.

[outstandingbalance]

That would be relevant to you. Some of us are better t controlling it than others, though.

[fifthreturned]

You control how you express it, but you don't seem able to control the feelings themselves.

[outstandingbalance]

Maybe so. It doesn't always seem that way from my perspective.

Sometimes you can let it go.

[fifthreturned]

Hey, that's great. I'm all for people who don't get too worked up over stuff.

[outstandingbalance]

No, that's sort of your thing, isn't it? If I understand how it works correctly.

[fifthreturned]

It sounds like you've got the right idea. We all want more of our emotion, and with all of you that can be difficult.

[outstandingbalance]

Probably easier for some of you than others. I haven't been here all that long, but tranquil isn't the word I'd use for it.

[fifthreturned]

Yeah, it might be kind of a challenge. I'm sure it'll all work out, though.

[outstandingbalance]

One way or another?

[fifthreturned]

That's right. I like your attitude.

[outstandingbalance]

You might. Guess I just like to keep an even keel.

[fifthreturned]

Not everyone can do it, so you should feel good about yourself.

[outstandingbalance]

[Oh, very rarely that.]

I do okay. Better than getting worked up over something out of my control.

[fifthreturned]

Some people seem to like getting worked up. I couldn't say why.

[outstandingbalance]

Some people can't help themselves. And maybe it's better for them.

[fifthreturned]

Do you think so? I guess to each their own.

[outstandingbalance]

I can only speak from my experience. I'm sure there's more ways than I can count that's different from your own.

[fifthreturned]

That's sure true. But I'm learning a lot about all of you.
