[Action]

[Today Seto isn't going to really be on his journal, in fact he's feeling rather restless.  After talking to Terra about training, it got him thinking that he should be prepared for anything as well, who knows?  He might be drafted sooner or later and even though he doesn't exactly want to fight, he doesn't want to be weak either if he's

[a slight stirring sound, and the image of shifting leaves pieced over night sky-- then a low, drawling]

Hehh. Sometimes you get more answers than you expect, in this place.

Uh huh! It can be really surprising.

[He chuckles a little] But it's really nice.

[there's nothing like simple conversation when you've got more on your mind than you care to think about, and Ginko sticks to this philosophy with quiet determination]

Don't think I've heard you over the journals before. Or not spoken, anyway. What's your name? [he refrains from adding the instinctive "kid": you never know in Luceti]

[presumablyalone]

[Any type of conversation easily makes Seto happy. He just wants someone to talk to him in general. He instantly perks up]

My name is Seto! I don't talk very often over the journals. [Sheepish laugh] What's your name??

[one_green_eye]

Ginko. [even if he's still not to be seen in the view finder] Have you been here a while and just don't like to talk-- or is this place still a little new for you?

[presumablyalone]

It's nice to meet you Ginko! [A thoughtful hum] I just normally don't think about talking through the journal to people. I like to see them face to face.

[one_green_eye]

Heh, it's actually kind of nice to hear that from someone. [he rolls up, now, and the view-finder shows a man with Japanese features, white hair making the age a little hard to read]

Most people just take it for granted.

[Why hello there. Seto smiles brightly now that he's able to see the man]

Haha, w-well, after being alone for so long...I like to be with the person I'm talking to. But hearing their voice over the journals is fine with me too!

[one_green_eye]

"Alone for so long"? -- do you mean here, or back home? [personal questions, Ginko asks them without qualm. Part of the job without the actualy job, you might say.]

[presumablyalone]

Back home! I wasn't exactly around a lot people for most of my life...[Just one person for ten years]

[one_green_eye]

Really? How'd that come about? [he thinks of a girl, locked in a shed away from the light. That kind of alone?]

[presumablyalone]

[He pauses for a moment, kind of hesitant about telling him]

Y-You see...um...everyone in my world is dead. It was like that during my entire childhood. [At least what he can remember from it] The only living person I knew was my grandfather.

[one_green_eye]

Everyone? ... [alright, not expected.

But not exactly unheard of, either. He thinks of a very old conversation.] --in your whole world? [a pause] How did you and your grandfather come to be the only ones left alive?

[presumablyalone]

Yes, everyone in my world...[Though his grandfather thinks differently]

To be honest, I'm not sure. I can only remember so far back and we just somehow survived whatever had happened.

[one_green_eye]

[he thinks about the images he once saw of another kid's world... all destruction...]

-- only remember so far, huh. [he can empathize, even if he own't say so] It must really be a strange mix of feelings, being in this place.

[presumablyalone]

[Perking up now] Not really! I'm mainly just happy to finally be with people.
