[ The video starts up but when the figure comes onto the screen he doesn't appear to be aware of the function. Holding the watch in the palm of his hand, he brings the other limb to his head and slides down against what appears to be a wall. Shaking his head to and fro, there are sounds of frustration that build up to a shout- he throws the watch

[She leans in close to the camera, her brow furrowed, all concerned-looking. Braids swinging everywhere around her face.]

Hey, are you okay, pitto?

[resolvetolive]

[The voice catches him off guard so he jerks back, but when he looks to the watch, shock stays with him.]

Y-yeah, kind of-- pitto?

[chrysophilist]

[Grins.]

Oh, that's Al Bhed for "buddy." Anyway, s'your name? Didja just get here?

[resolvetolive]

I've never heard of that before, where're you from?

Er, I'm Hope and yeah- I got forced out of the train... [ He almost had a mini panic attack, thinking that he was being purged again, somehow. ]

[starshipcommand]

Don't give up.

Where are you? Someone can be sent to come get you and bring you to safety.

[video]

[resolvetolive]

Can't afford to now, heh.

Uh... I'm by this wall, near the station I think?

[video]

[starshipcommand]

Okay. I'll be right there.

What's your name?

[video]

[resolvetolive]

Thanks, this is confusing enough by itself so I'm grateful for the help.

I'm Hope Estheim.

[Video] Because Tifa must watch over all child arrivals >3;;;

[raiseyourhart]

[Have a soft, slightly melancholic Tifa smile, new kid.]

Don't worry. You aren't alone. Are you at the station still?

[video] m-mom is that you? : <

[resolvetolive]

[ Someone seems familiar, the way she's looking at him through the.. watch, yes the watch Hope- technology is okay. ]

I wandered away from it. There's this wall.. is that a good thing?

Are you.. do you live here?

[video] <3;; Not quite, but I'll watch over you just as one should, sweety. [/XD;]

[raiseyourhart]

[She... paused a moment. Not quite sure how to phrase this, but eventually. Completely ignoring the wall comment for the moment.]

I've been here a while, yes.

[Hm... Time to distract him while Jim decided to go meet him. Gently.] I'm Tifa. Can I ask what your name is?

[video] ... That sounds nice. [Oi. xD]

[resolvetolive]

... In a good way or bad way?

[ Oh, distractions! Hope loves those.] I'm Hope, it's... I don't think I can say it's nice to meet you here.

[harrysbackup]

Just from experience, Tantrums don't solve problems.

1/2

[resolvetolive]

I know that! I--

[resolvetolive]

[ No Hope, bad. He straightens up and nods. ]

.. sorry. But.. this isn't normal.

[harrysbackup]

I know it's not. Just, calm down, alright? My name's Thomas. What's yours?

[sitarrockstar]

[Oh cool. Another angsty blonde kid. Seems like the Interloper is collecting them.]

Welcome to the party, kid. It's a great place to be, if you like never leaving and being hunted by monsters every night.

[resolvetolive]

[ I'm not blond, just angsty and pensive and-- oh. ]

Well it might sound weird but I'm used to the being hunted part? What do you mean you can never leave though, can't I just walk out the way I came...?

[sitarrockstar]

No. I really don't think you should. People who try just end up in the middle of the park, where the big monsters are. You're better off staying in the city.

[resolvetolive]

Well I am a fan of keeping alive, okay. [ At least he knows where to go to train, for positives.]

Thanks, I'm Hope. Should I just follow the path near the station, then?
