[ hi willaknet! did you miss this ragequitting voice booming through your dinky devices? because oh, she mad. she real mad. ]Look, I don't know if there's been some recent spike in the magical disappearing people act but I think I've had enough. Either there's been some unannounced hide-and-seek game going on or somehow people are getting tickets

[too much fail on this end... is ashamed to say anything ok except

YOUR SISTER LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG

damn it serah!!]

[hopeslittle]

I...

[radiating shame right now why is he always so useless;;;] L-Light?

[aveclumiere]

[ GOD MY SHOTA. it's okay if you're useless as long as you're not dead. ]

Hope. There you are.

When...? When did you guys get there, wherever there is?

[hopeslittle]

-I don't know. [sounds so sincere it hurts. because it's true. :C]

I mean, I was walking back to my room last night, and all of a sudden, I woke up here... wherever this is.

[aveclumiere]

None of you are hurt though, right?

[ some shuffling around. she really cant just sit and wait for them to come back, it's time to do some exploring. ]

And how many people would you say you're with? Can you do a headcount?

[It takes him a few minutes to respond; they're moving now, away from whatever threat that's following them... or something like that. A little hesitant, a little worried, a little bit of everything-optimism not included.

It all seems the same as the beginning, and Hope can't help but to feel useless, especially with his powers slashed as is.]

[hopeslittle]

No, just a little disoriented. Uh... there's fourteen, including me. I think we're planning to move around until we can get out of this place.

Something... [A pause.] ... I hear water.

[aveclumiere]

[ she cant help the small bit of despair that tugs at her at the thought of the three of them in danger but she crushes it as soon as she can, regaining what bit of calm and composure she can find. ]

Stick together. It might be better to keep an eye on everyone collectively instead of breaking up into parties to scout the area.

[...water? ]

...stay on your guard. Remember what I told you back in the Gapra Whitewood. You and Snow should be able to give whatever's making that noise a decent run for its money if you keep your head on straight.

[hopeslittle]

It's also probably better if he doesn't tell her about his magic being downplayed, huh. He keeps silent about the matter for now.]

... yeah. I'll be watching Snow's back, and Serah'll be safe with us.

[Reassurance! Though, it seems like he's repeating this more for his sake than Lightning's, but no one's asking for details, right?]

[aveclumiere]

...good. That's all I can ask for.

[ a beat of silence. ]

And Hope...? Don't do anything reckless.

[ she knows it's not in his nature to act out irrationally but you can never be too sure. snow tends to bring out the raging bull in a lot of people. ]

that raging icon was appropriate /edits :')

[hopeslittle]

You got it.

[but baby don't you want hope to act irrationally and stab snow in the back again. :C]
