[There's a clatter and the video turns on, showing the cloudy twilight sky above the baseball field and the puffs of snow surrounding the ground near the NV. All is still for a moment before a cough, and then another and another

[lesbiansnowbike]

[Hang on I think someone just had a heart attack.]

[video]

[lesbiansnowbike]

Hope!

[You have NO IDEA how pissed off/worried not!dad was.]

You...hang on, I'm coming to get you.

[video]

[escapedpandora]

[Hold on, he's getting his bearings again. Someone who knows his name is calling him from somewhere, what's going on?]

Wha-- whah?

[Coherency may be earned within a few more minutes...]

[lesbiansnowbike]

[You know Snow's not the most patient person around 8|]

Take it easy, kiddo. If you're disoriented, just sit down for a moment. I'll be there soon.

[OH MY DEAR GOD---i mean reaction, what]

[tiersdes]

[So Seth nearly fell off where she's perched atop a light fixture inside a seedy club in the Underground Mall. SHE'S SUING, HOPE.]

voice;

[tiersdes]

[When she finds it in herself to speak again, Seth's voice is unnaturally loud, breaking slightly when she exclaims:]

Hope! What...what happened to you?!

voice;

[escapedpandora]

[Give him a minute, he's remembering where he is and all.]

...Seth?

[Brain. On slow. It'll take him a while to process the question.]

I don't... I don't know?

voice;

[tiersdes]

[Goddammit, if this had anything to do with any of those stupid disappearances, by God, this was getting close to the final straw for her. She makes a noise that sounds like a hiss-sigh of relief, so there's a pause as she gets to reasserting herself.]

Yes, Hope---it's me.

[Beat.]

...Do you know how long you've been gone?

voice;

[quackery]

Hope? You're back?

voice;

[escapedpandora]

Back?

[Headrush. But he's slowly regaining his bearings.]

Here? I mean-- Oh. [Siren's Port. Not Palumpollum. Guess he wasn't home.] Was I-- was I gone?

voice;

[quackery]

Yeah, you were... gone.

voice;

[escapedpandora]

I was just-- I was just walking home, and--

[Nope, he doesn't remember more than that.]

Gone? What-- what day is it?

Voice

[makes_asteroids]

Hope, lad? Someone coming for you?

Voice

[escapedpandora]

[His words are a little slow and he still sounds confused, but it's getting better.]

Yeah-- Snow's coming here.

Re: Voice

[makes_asteroids]

Good. Are you all right? [Stupid questions, he knows.]

Voice

[escapedpandora]

[It's not a stupid question when he's not too sure of that himself.]

Yeah. I think so. I mean... I don't think anything's wrong.

[Other than the fact that he seems to be missing a few days in his memory.]

action if...... okay--?

[elderyouth]

[because he's tearing out to the baseball field in wolf-form right as he sees this. warnings on kidnappings be damned.]

[he'd turn back into a human-looking person once he rounded close to it, but-- right. moving fast.]

sure, Snow's just coming to pick him up after?

[escapedpandora]

[Hope's just trying to figure out what happened from the responses he's been getting over the NV right now, not daring to move too much yet since his limbs are still shaky.]

Sure! A-aha, thank you. ;;;

[elderyouth]

Hope?

[at the edge of the baseball field, looking in with a mix of uncertainty and worry - the scent matched up, but hadn't Hope... died?]

np~ <3

[escapedpandora]

[He looks up, vision still a little blurry. He's in Siren's Port, right? That's what it sounded like, and that's what it seemed like with the people talking to him.]

...Toboe?
