Neil had received the message and, of course, known the name immediately-- the sense of vague relief and gladness that he felt was overtaken by the same anxiety that he had felt with the arrival of every person that he knew here since he came here back in November. There seemed to be some kind of pattern with it, as though every person who showed up was from a later and later point in their timeline. There was a chance that she was from before he had died, but... There was no way. Nobody had been from before that time, so far.

So it was best to prepare himself to go into this thinking that she would have the 'but you're dead' reaction. He could tell that she was by the fountain in Espoir just from her description and made his way over there. He saw her long before she spotted him. Her hair looked shorter, and that was already worrying.

"Neil," Lyle came up behind his brother, interrupting his move towards Sumeragi. This was all very disconcerting to Lyle, how much was this Sumeragi going to know? Of course she was going to react badly to Neil, everyone did it seems. He hoped that the commander was at least over her "drunken and depressed" stage at the very least.

He moved to put his hand on his brother's shoulder. "Might wanna take it a big slow, or else you'll give her a heart attack." His face became more serious, "I think this is the Sumeragi from my time and things have been rough lately, so like I said, no heart attacks please."

[neraiutsuze]

Neil turned slightly to look at his brother. "...You don't think it'll freak her out more to see us together?" He sighed. But he knew that Lyle was right. "Did you want to go over and introduce yourself first?"

[nocatchphrase]

"Well, if we introduce ourselves together at least she'll get over the initial shock quickly," He patted Neil on the shoulder. "But if it makes you feel better, I'll take one for the team and go out there first."

Kyouya had taken to wandering the city and the village, it was the best way to gather information, especially on new arrivals. Since he still hadn't solidified a position in this world, gathering intell was his best course of action.

It was on his most recent trip to the village that he spotted the well-endowed lady acting distressed and mildly confused. Must be new.

"Excuse me, Miss, may I offer some assistance?" again, until he determined her worth, polite was the best option.

[livebythebottle]

The voice she heard came from behind her. The first thought that went through her mind was that it was unfamiliar. But as she turned around with a guarded stance to receive the person, Sumeragi stopped short. Not only was the voice unfamiliar, but the person who had approached her was young enough to be in high school. There really wasn't anything wrong with that, but the obvious country surroundings did not seem to match the refined tone of his voice. No, this boy was most definitely not from the country. However, his nationality, at least, gave her a clue as to which continent the Ptolemaios had fallen to.

After several long moments of studying the boy, she offered him a pleasant smile. "Some assistance would be greatly appreciated." Her gaze drifted to the fields behind them. "This may sound like a very silly question," she said," hazel eyes returning to his face. "But what country is this?"

[kage_kingu]

"I'm afraid the answer to that will not be to your liking." he grinned a little, "This is not a country, but another world called Somarium." he skillfully flipped open is notes and readied a pen to record any new information she might provide about herself, or her world of origin.

Afterward, however, he remembered his 'manners' and extended his hand, "My name is Ootori Kyouya. Kyouya is fine. What is your name, madam?"

[livebythebottle]

She was caught off guard, first by his words, and then by the pad of paper and pen he held. When he extended his hand, Sumeragi took a step backwards, staring down at it. She eventually put her hand in his and shook. Instead of answering his question, however, she went back to the first part of his explanation. "What do you mean another world? Somarium is not a planet that we or the ESF have recorded."

When Feldt found the message in her inbox, she had first been shocked, and then smiled as she pocketed her Dreamberry and darted out the door to the fountain in Espoir. Once she was closer, she slowed down and stopped near the captain, looking just as she remembered her. Feldt couldn't help but smile a little.

"It's good to see you again, Sumeragi."

[livebythebottle]

The sound of her voice immediately helped to soothe Sumeragi's anxiousness, and her gaze shifted to the pink-haired girl smiling at her from several feet away. "Feldt." She took a couple of steps toward her, her lips forming a relieved smile. "So it really was your name in this communication device," she noted, looking down at the archaic item that had been lying next to her when she woke up.

Her eyes settled on the younger girl again. "Do you know where the others are?" she asked urgently. "What about the Ptolemaios?"

[feldtgrace]

"The others are scattered around the city that surrounds this village," she said, automatically. "The Ptolemaios is not here but there's quite a few of us from Celestial Being, including Soma Peries, Anew, and...."

Her voice faltered for a moment as she studied her feet, debating whether or not to tell her about two others who were here. She'd find out eventually, but maybe it was better to lessen the shock a little. When she spoke, she looked back at Sumeragi with a very solemn expression on her face, but her tone was quieter.

"Sumeragi... Lockon and Chris are here too."

[livebythebottle]

She had seen Anew's name in the phone after sending the message. Along with Ribbons Almark and Regene Regetta. "Lockon? Yes, I sent him the same message as you. Along with Setsuna and Tieria," she told the girl, tilting her head slightly as she tried to read her expression. "Chris?" Sumeragi's confidence faltered for a moment as she continued to stare at her. Did she mean Christina? Christina Sierra? The same Christina that they heard die with their own ears

[whatwouldvedado]

Tieria was rather alarmed at receiving a text message early this morning on his Dreamberry. He certainly was not expecting it to be from Sumeragi Lee Noriega. However, he had believed it to be a matter of time before the rest of the crew on board the Ptolemaios arrived in Somarium. He promptly got out of bed upon receiving the message and dressed himself appropriately, making sure things were tidy around the apartment before leaving.

He made his way toward the fountain in the center of Espoir, finding that there was nobody to be seen upon his arrival. He frowned, crossing his arms, "Sumeragi Lee Noriega?" he called out. "I do not appreciate being sent an urgent message and arriving at the specified location, only to find that I am the only person present at the current time. This is not humorous."

[livebythebottle]

Tieria's choleric temperament did little to phase her, despite the 'unhumorous' circumstances. Sumeragi was, however, shocked to see him in the flesh. His physical composition had been disconnected from his mind as soon as his heart stopped working during their final mission. And he had continued to live on metaphysically through Veda. Sumeragi rubbed her forehead, closing her eyes for a moment as she tried to think through this. She shook her head slightly.

I need a drink.Not only was she surprised to see him, but his words were... confusing. "Humorous?" Her eyes glanced about them. "What about this situation is humorous? We have all been split up, and I have no idea where the rest of the crew is. My message was meant to contact each of you to ensure your safety so that I can locate the Ptolemaios and assess the damages

[whatwouldvedado]

He turned to see the woman approaching, "The Ptolemaios is nowhere near this place, Sumeragi Lee Noriega. I cannot tell you where it is, considering I have been here for nearly 10 months. The last time I saw the Ptolemaios, it was in pieces

[livebythebottle]

It took her a moment to process what he was saying. She put a hand to her forehead as if she was, indeed, nursing a hangover. Sumeragi had already seen several other names in the communication device she had found. Neil and Lyle? What on earth was he talking about? There was no logic to it. How could he have been there for ten whole months without her knowing? And the Ptolemaios was in pieces? Had anyone gotten hurt

[00_agent]

He'd been here for so long - and had grown so accustomed to people coming and going - that he almost wasn't surprised to receive a message with their tactical forecaster's name on it. Still, Sumeragi's instructions were never to be taken lightly, so Setsuna quickly headed to the village of Espoir as fast as he could.

...her hair was short, which meant that she was from his time, if not later. He would not have to explain the dissolution of Celestial Being to her, then. Good.

"Sumeragi Li Noriega," the young pilot called out as soon as he was within speaking range.

[livebythebottle]

She turned quickly, her hand clenching the device tightly to her chest. She had recognized the voice, and as her eyes fell on the narrow mouth and wide eyes, she was not at all surprised to see Setsuna standing there. However, he looked different. A bit older, maybe. No. Not older. Just different. "Setsuna," she said after taking in the sight of him. "Thank you for coming so quickly. Have you been able to contact any of the others?"

[ooc: This is hard because she hasn't gotten any information from the others yet. :|]

[00_agent]

"Yes," he answered with a nod. "We have all been here for some time - all of the Meisters, and most of the support staff from the Ptolemaios. We were waiting for you."

[livebythebottle]

"Some time?" She gave him an uncertain smile. "How long have I been separated from you?" Her gaze drifted toward the field she had woken up in. Was it possible that she had been unconscious for a long time? Turning back to him, she continued with a bit more urgency in her voice. "Where is the Ptolemaios? Have you been able to locate it?"
