[ Don't worry, he's not older this time. Instead, it's just his confused face coming up on the feed. The watch is pointed at the ground, but from what anyone can see, he's somewhere near the station and the sound of paper is hear faintly. No training today, no mid-life crisis here today

[Well well, whatcha up to, Hope? Lavi's all sorts of curious from what little he's seen.] Getting your coordinates?

[As for the light.] It was pretty odd, the light this morning. [A wry grin.] Can't say I think much stuff that happens around here can be all that good.

[ The voice startles him but not to the point where he jumps up. It's a small jerk, and he's reaching for the watch. The guy on the other side isn't so familiar, but... maybe he'll get a hint.]

T-Trying to, yeah. Have you made a map too? [ The second part gets him though.] W-what about-- ... Oh, yeah. Guess you're right.

[video]

[weaponsofwords]

[Lavi nods a bit at that.] Yeah, I did. Back when I first got here. I'd love to see what you've got though. Never hurts to keep improving the product, right?

[He grins.] But we've managed pretty well so far, in general. So it's not all so bad. I'm keeping my eyes open either way.

[resolvetolive]

Ah! [ Oh-! At that, his face brightens a little and his memory's working at what people have told him. He sits up a little straighter before leaning in to get a better look.] You're.. L-Lavi, right? Someone told me to talk to you about maps...

[ A nod.] Mm. Better safe than sorry.

[resolvetolive]

[ By now he's got the watch in front of him, and he's... Fish?]

Think it'll be worse than what just happened?

[video]

[resolvetolive]

[ He wouldn't know - never had a pet, unfortunately. Robots don't count.]

Least we know something's going to happen? [ A small smile in return.]

[dawnlotus]

Did you just figure out where the light came from?

A lot of the events that happen around here are usually bad, but we will survive them.

[video]

[resolvetolive]

[ A shake of the head - hi stranger.] N-no. You didn't either, I'm guessing.

And.. yeah, we've got a tendency to endure. [ A small smile at that.]

[video]

[dawnlotus]

[Hello little one!] Unfortunately not, but I'm sure we'll figure out something...if not, then it will show itself to us.

This city, everyone here has such strong spirit. It's admirable.

Ah, I am sorry, I am Vietnam. You are?

[video]

[resolvetolive]

[ He listens to her words, and he has to agree. A smile makes it to his face this time around.]

Y-yeah... no one's willing to give up, everyone wants to fight. It's good. [ He's fumbling with his gloves around now.]

Oh, er... I'm Hope. It's nice to meet you.

[After that light and talk of going to find out what happened, Naminé's taken to staying inside, comfortably seated on her bed with a blanket covering her shoulders and furry friend snoozing in her lap. She's rather relieved to see you normal sized too Hope. You were too tall.]

You didn't see it this morning, Hope? It was really bright.

[video]

[resolvetolive]

[ Hope can't keep inside for so long - being sick and cold has just about ruined his energy so he'll be trying to get it back. Once he sees Naminé though, he does stop his work to offer her a wave and look at the watch.]

I think.. I might I have still been sleeping?

[video]

[rewritethesky]

[She gives a little wave back and goes on to stroke the kitten a bit while it lounges on her.]

Did your illness come back after... all that? You said it was gone before...

[video]

[resolvetolive]

[ He shakes his head.]

N-no, it wasn't that! I just... [ He looks a little embarrassed.] I'm not.. good with waking up early.

[Video]

[tempervale_npc]

Lost or found, Hope?

The light is nothing to concern yourself with. Or, at least, nothing you can do anything about.

[video]

[resolvetolive]

Y-You! You're.. [ Sorry, name memorizing isn't that easy here.]

Did you have something to do with it?!

[video]

[tempervale_npc]

Mm. I am.

[A head tilting towards the communicator just slightly.] Hmm. I wonder. It's certainly possible, isn't it?

[video]

[resolvetolive]

[ You're confusing him just a little more now.]

... O-or are you still just an.. observer?
