[PRETEND THIS IS TOMORROW MORNING, OKAY. The gear clicks on. You see first the ground, then a nice view of blue sky. Then Snow's face appears, and his brows are furrowed for a second as he scrutinizes the gear, then glances around.

A grin slowly forms on his face, but it ends up being a huge one.]

Yea-ha-heaaaaah! [Translation: "YEEAAAAAH" plus

Comments

[Video] 1/---I'll let you know.

[soggypastry]

[It's so late it's early, and Light's awake. What's she doing at this hour? Staring at her gear. She really...just can't believe what she's seeing.]

[Video] 2/???

[soggypastry]

[It takes a moment for it to sink in. That's Snow, he's back, and he's...happy to be here, apparently. It's a lot to take in on so little sleep, and Lightning..really doesn't know what to think. She'd promised herself to yell at him and call him an idiot for vanishing all those months ago, but now, after all that's happened...]

[Video] 3/3

[soggypastry]

[She wants to yell. She wants to scream and tell him he's a total idiot. But she can't. All she can manage is a choked sound in the back of her throat, and one quiet word through a lump that's just decided to surface.]

...Snow?

[She knows it's him. She just...still can't believe he's come back. She'd given up all hope of ever seeing him again, no matter what she'd told Serah or Hope.]

[savethefarron]

Heeey, knew you were too stubborn to disappear that easy!

Now c'mon, how long've I been out?

[He is actually shocked by how affected she is by this, but he's not letting it get to his head.]

[video]

[usedroaroftime]

You've been here before?

[video]

[savethefarron]

Definitely. Somehow, this five-house corner of what-the-heck is pretty hard to forget.

[video]

[usedroaroftime]

Do you remember being taken home?

[video]

[savethefarron]

[His brow furrows for a minute, and then he shakes his head.]

Nah, I don't. Sorry.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

I'm gonna take a guess you ain't exactly new to this place, so congrats, welcome back and all that jazz. [He says that with a smile, but when that's out of the way, his expression darkens a little.]

Heather's here, dunno about Aerith, but Kay-- [...it's been three weeks and he's still not used to saying that.] ... She's gone.

[video]

[savethefarron]

What? You're kidding.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[... does he look like he's joking?]

Wish I was.

[video]

[savethefarron]

[He didn't mean that seriously. He's just shocked, is all.]

Man... of all of 'em, I figured she'd still be around. She always felt kinda permanent, y'know?

[eidolonracing]

[Only one person could be this energetic at this time of day. So when Sazh takes a closer look at his Gear to confirm his suspicions, he can't help but smile.]

Hey, look who's finally here.

[video]

[savethefarron]

Hey, hang on now. I was here first, you got it? [But he's grinning back.]

[video]

[eidolonracing]

[Sazh holds back whatever joke he was about to say. The idle chat will have to come later. After all, they've got plenty of time.]

How long were you here before?

[video]

[savethefarron]

Months. Like six of 'em.

[video]

[restardom]

-- Whoa! Now there's a face I haven't seen in awhile!

[video]

[savethefarron]

Rise! Long time, no see!

[video]

[restardom]

Hey! I know someone who's gonna be thrilled to see you.

[video]

[savethefarron]

Who?
