Sometimes it feels like there's only a few people around here who actually care about making enough of a life in this place to stay. I guess lots of you count on getting your day where those scientists will pull you out of here, back to wherever-you-come-from-home

... If it's okay, I'd still like to come.

[not_riku_thx]

Then I'll be seeing you soon.

[oneenemyleft]

Right. I'll... definitely be there.

[nomnomguts]

Mm, I suppose it is entirely too late to join in~ Bit of a pity, though it can't really be helped~ Which way will your expedition be heading?

[not_riku_thx]

Yeah, in case you missed the memo up there, the team's closed.

We're going where the exploring groups went last spring.

[nomnomguts]

I did notice~

Ah, I don't believe I was in the city during that time. I've only been here for perhaps a month and a half?

[not_riku_thx]

Oh right. You're one of the newer people.

[beanie_pwns_u]

Well, isn't this gonna be fun. [He's Mr. crabbypants today.]

[not_riku_thx]

If you don't wanna come, you know, Sorata's all but begging to fill your shoes.

[beanie_pwns_u]

Heck no, I'm goin'.

[not_riku_thx]

Thought so.

As a latecomer, I don't think I'll get my hopes up too much.

Besides, someone has to stay and keep "this place" safe.

About what you said before...
I might have had those thoughts sometimes... about wanting to go back home. But it's because I can't ignore the feeling that there's still something important that I have to do there, and someone I want to be able to protect.

Still... I've made a lot of friends here, and this place has made me stronger. -- As long as I keep that in mind, I'll never regret being brought here.

[not_riku_thx]

There's a lot to hold down, isn't there...if you need help, call on Riku okay? He promised me he'd help out if Gohl needs it.

If you have someone important to protect, then I understand: It's a totally different story, wanting to be there.

[to_blossom]

Mm. I'll remember that. Just leave it to me!

[There's a pause, and she just smiles softly from the other side of the frequency.]

...Thank you, Prydain. I'm glad that you can understand.

[not_riku_thx]

And....look out for Namine especially, for me. I think she's taking her chip out soon.

[embracethewaves]

I think...if we're gonna be here, we'd might as well make the best of it. It doesn't mean I don't want to go home, but...

[...] Anyway, I'm still going! Just doing some last minute getting-ready.

[not_riku_thx]

But you've always been all-in with us.

Great! Make sure you've bathtubbed enough water supply for the rest of the house.

[embracethewaves]

Yeah...Gohl's my home. Or a home away from home, at least. Kinda like a second family.

Got it! That's the last thing on my list. The fresher the better, right?

[not_riku_thx]

It's a first family, for me at least.

Right.
