[Leon didn't waste his time making a post from the baseball diamond, instead waiting until he was settled in the newcomer's apartments.

His gunblade's visible in the shabby room, propped carefully against the wall by the door. The scene's lit from behind Leon, throwing his face into shadow--but his blue eyes and scar can still be picked out.]

[Vincent's voice is low in warning. People asking about his friends? He's suspicious to say the least.]

What do you want with them?

voice

[their_knight]

[Leon's is even. He is unperturbed by your cranky.]

They're my friends.

[chaos_bound]

[A moment passes in silence before Vincent speaks again. He doesn't recognize Leon, but he knows that if Tifa and yuffie do, they'll respond on their own in due time.]

You're new here.

[their_knight]

I am.

[walkthedawn]

Leon? You're back?

voice;

[their_knight]

...I can't recall ever being 'here' in the first place. Riku?

voice;

[walkthedawn]

But you were, months ago.

...Yeah, it's me.

[their_knight]

I haven't left Hollow Bastion since the Keyhole was sealed.

[Hm. But he's pretty sure you're trustworthy, so he'll believe you.]

What's the situation here?

[Excitement is a funny thing. When there is a lot of it... people tend to do really stupid things. Like this...]

Oh my god.

Where are you?

[Video]

[their_knight]

[and there's not a hint of recognition in his face. Confusion, yes--but not much, and only for a moment. You don't have a familiar voice, after all.]

Inside.

[there's a pause, long enough to almost think that he's done speaking. But after a few moments of trying to place your voice...]

Who is this?

[Audio]

[starlithysteria]

[It took her a minute to respond because she was laughing at his first response so much that she missed the last part of what he said, even with the pause. She was too anxious to talk to him to replay the message.]

I can see that you're inside. I meant where. You just got here right? So that means you're probably in the apartments.

[She paused to think.] Hmmmm.

[It is dark outside after all. Lots of monsters and other stuff out.

But! It seemed that she wanted to see him bad enough that she'd actually travel out in the night.]

Don't go anywhere, Squall!

[Yep that's it! Now she left to find a Greeter or anyone else around in the apartments that would have seen Leon and know what room he's in. As for the Darkness and monsters... well...

...

She'll be fine.]

[their_knight]

[and now there's blank surprise in Leon's face--because why does she know that name.]

Wait...!

[and she's hung up. dammit wat do.]

[meteor_heart]

[Here's Tifa, as requested, although she's looking a little...confused. Elbows propped up on a table, chin in her hands, she peers curiously at Leon through the NV.] You rang?
