Don't give up Hope. [Accidental voice]

[good_breakfast]

[The feed comes on and you hear the voice of a young man muttering to himself under his breath. His voice sounds like he’s been crying, and it is also drenched with puberty.]

No... this can’t be happening! It can’t! The world’s gone!? Just like that!? There’s gotta be some mistake! Dad...Is everything we did for nothing!? Did Barthandelus win!?

Ca-- Spanish Inquisition? [What is that indeed?]

[Whirling around.]

Who said that!?

Re: [Voice]

[motherofthesun]

Ah, the Guide please. Or at least, I think that's where my voice is supposed to come out.

Re: [Voice]

[good_breakfast]

Guide....?

[Finally finds where your voice is coming from.]

Oh... you mean, this is some kind of communications device too?

Re: [Voice]

[motherofthesun]

Yes. Would it be easier to talk to you on video or is this alright?

Re: [Voice]

[good_breakfast]

This thing can do video too?

[Voice] -> [Video]

[motherofthesun]

Yes.

... Okay, wait. I-I know how to do this... no, not... yes! [Her voice gets cut off for a few minutes] Ah, that didn't work. That was the map so this should... [She appears for a second but then clicks off] Huh, this works when you don't want it to, but when you purposely want to change to video, it doesn't work.

[good_breakfast]

H-hold on a sec.

[You can hear some fumbling noises as he fiddles with the guide, and then the video feature comes on to show Hope in all his 14-year-old five-feet-tall glory. This conversation, and playing with the guide is a nice distraction, but he still looks to be having a very bad day. He also has his hand over his left wrist. Which is certainly just a habit. He's not hiding a brand that marks him as an enemy of mankind, oh goodness no.]

I think I figured it out.

[She's just bad with technology; she knows that much, but she's amazed that he's got it down already]

That's it!

[Huh? Another kid? She frowns; definitely too young to be handling this... well, that's what she believes anyway]

Oh my... are you injured young one?

Re: [Video]

[good_breakfast]

[He comes from a "technological utopia" according to the people who run it. Also, wow she's pretty.]

H-huh? Oh, uh, no. No I'm fine.

[He removes his hand but quickly pulls up the yellow bandanna he keeps wrapped around his left wrist. Ammy might catch a quick glimpse of this before he covers it up.]

I'm sorry, this is just.... alot to take in.

Re: [Video]

[motherofthesun]

It is, but don't give up. You can still do something.

[Oh, she's not really paying much attention... nah, actually she is. She just saw red for a second.]

Are you sure you don't need to visit the medical ward?

Re: [Video]

[good_breakfast]

Yeah? Like what?

No, I'm fine. Thank you.

Re: [Video]

[motherofthesun]

Well, we're all here to rebuild our worlds and you never know if others from your world might be here. I'm not even sure how they rebuild the world; it might made as though nothing happened. [Though she has some doubt in this.]

[She has to check the list anyway. How many new people did they get?]

Re: [Video]

[good_breakfast]

They.. they can rebuild worlds?

Re: [Video]

[motherofthesun]

Yes, but it isn't for free or just charity. They have a price so we need to work on this ship.

Re: [Video]

[good_breakfast]

... do you honestly believe that?

[He's not trying to make fun of her. He's earnestly asking if she believes that. He still isn't sure himself.]
