I do not know if I will actually try to get a bingo. But this seems like a fun way to meet new people.
[speaking of which... she holds out her hand]
My name is Li-Na.

My name is Li-Na.

[Li-Na feels an odd frisson at the name. Her hand hovers over the plastic cup, sharpie half-dangling from her fingers. She looks at Myca with a slightly distant expression, as if her thoughts are suddenly far from the coffee shop. She still sees the shop in front of her and the customer whose name somehow seems important, but it's like she has suddenly taken a step back. Myca. They have something to do with the odd dream she's been having recently. She doesn't know how she knows this, but she knows she needs to talk to them.
It only lasts a brief moment, and then Li-Na blinks and smiles again. She quickly finishes writing on the cup and passes it to the barista next to her.]
We will have that right out for you.
[She lowers her voice.]
This may seem strange. May we speak?

[Myca is briefly lost in thought themself, that strange sense tugging at them again: after a moment, they're aware enough again to notice the barista's blank, distant stare. A similar expression to what they were probably wearing, to be perfectly honest. And then the barista blinks and smiles, back to herself again, the moment broken.
One slender eyebrow lifts at the barista's request. It is strange, yes, but everything about this situation with Retrospec is strange and defies logic, not a feeling that they like at all. Especially not with...the ill-fitting vision.] About something we may have in common? [a guess in the dark, really, but 'strange' and private...
Myca retrieves their cell phone off the counter at just the right angle that the button for the app would be visible to the barista.] When you're on break, then. [and going to get their money out to pay for said drink.]

Oh. That is why I am in line...
[of course, the line has been moving past them the entire time and they've lost their original spots, but an older lady who has been watching them duel with some amusement is kind enough to wave them in front of her]
Are there any snacks you would suggest?

Li-Na immediately zeroes in on a bottle of bright purple polish, which she then holds out to Chiyo.
"Do mine, then I will do yours~"

[Li-Na's eyes flick down at Myca's cellphone, and she spots the blue icon of the app. She nods. Yes, something in common indeed.]
I have one in about fifteen minutes.
[She quickly processes the payment and hands Myca their receipt.
Sure enough, about fifteen minutes later, the rush has trickled off and Li-Na is able to escape the register for a short break. A small latte for herself in hand she quickly scans Expressive for the person she'd spoken to earlier.]
[Myca had found themselves a seat in a less populated area of the coffee shop and settled down to work a little while they waited, head bent over their binder as they read through their notes.
they're fairly easy to pick out, sitting with perfect posture as they read and nurse their coffee.]

[Li-Na soon spots Myca and makes her way over. Sitting down across from them, she cups her latte with both hands.]
Pardon me.
[She struggles to find a way to broach the subject, even knowing Myca is a Retrospec user as well.]
I can see you are busy, but I think you are connected to a dream I have had recently.

[they're going to close their binder and face her, calmly, taking a sip of their coffee before they speak.] Go on. [they pull out a slip of paper and set it down in front of her. it's the fortune from the glowing blue cookie they had found in their bag just before all of this had started. the fortune says 'learn to walk a mile in someone else's shoes.' it's a guess, but it's the best that they have.] A dream that is somehow wrong, as if it doesn't fit?
Chiyo takes the bottle and gives it a shake. She holds out her left hand for Li-Na's.
"Goit it! I'm going to give your nails the best paint job ever! I'm not a manicurist, but I know how to color."
Chiyo's focus when it comes to doing a task is strong. She'll make each coat even and smooth.

Yes. And it happened right after I found that.
[Li-Na looks at the 'fortune,' identical to the one she'd found. She hadn't been sure what to do with the bright blue cookie at all, but considering how few things are blue, it had seemed strange. However, after a day it had crumbled on its own, revealing the slip of paper inside.]
Every time I think about the dream, I feel like there's a name on the tip of my tongue. But I couldn't quite grasp it, until you came in today and said your name, Myca.

They balance each other out since Chiyo's dancing ability is passable but not great, and she's not that talented at sports in general.
"I'd be a different kind of artist if I didn't. The more sure I can be with my hands, the better I can do my work. Is dance similar?"
That's not to say Chiyo won't make any mistakes, but that's why she has cotton pads on standby to clean up any stray spot of color.
