Uh...is this thing really on? Oh, okay. Um.

[ At first, it's just a voice; Hope isn't sure it's okay to show his face after everything that happened. Then he decides that on one hand, it probably won't work anyway. And on the other, so what? If people can't find him they can't chase him, either. ]

L-look, I'm kind of new to this going other places thing, and this has all gotten weird enough, so if someone could tell me how to get back home, or at least closer to it, I'd really appreciate it.

Oh, right. My name is Hope Estheim. A-anyway, if someone can actually hear this, can you answer? Thanks.

Loud and clear, kid.

Okay, first things first. Do you see a town anywhere? You're going to want to work out someplace to stay the night once it gets dark, unless you feel like taking a midwinter camping trip.

Oh. Y-yeah, there's a town. But I don't know anyone here. I don't know if I should really just ask for a place to stay...

[ Obviously he'd never just tell someone he's a l'Cie if they don't know that, so he doesn't mention why he's uncomfortable. But it's clear that he is. ]

Don't see why not. You showed up here, you're our guest.

[ It's just a tiny hint of recognition at first. The boy looks familiar, but she can't quite place him, and it nags at her until he says his name. Her fight with Odin, the city of Palompolom, everything hits her almost at once, and she winces.

Her voice is full of worry and relief. ] Hope!

[ He stares into the Linkshell, disbelieving at first. ]

Light?! Oh man! I am so glad to see you!

Where are you?

This is...what was it, Troia? Something like that.

Where are you?

Fabul. Are you okay? You're safe, right?

I have no idea where that is.

But yeah, I'm fine, I'm just...

How did we get here?

Good luck with that.

[Stares.]

There's something familiar about you...

[ He looks a little worried. ]

Oh. I-is there? It's probably nothing...

[ He's not sure he even wants to be recognized at all. ]

Hm, maybe you're right. No...

[He squints his eyes and looks deep in thought.]

Oh! It's probably the scarf!

[ Hope visibly glances down. ]

Huh? My scarf...?

Sorry, as far as we can tell, there's no way to get home right now. It's disappointing, I know.

But...!

[ He looks away for a second, then back. ]

Are you sure?

I hate to say it, but that's how things are -- for now! We're all working on finding a way to get back to where we belong! But it's not so bad here, really. There's a lot of really great things about this world! It's just... different from what we're all used to, that's all. But none of us are stranded here alone! We're all in the same boat.

[This one gets Hilda's attention immediately. A young boy being dragged into the midst of a situation... This boy, though, is even younger than Firion was.]

Anyone with a linkshell can hear this. As for getting back home, I am sorry to say it, but we do not yet know how.

Really, there's...not a way? What am I going to do now.

[ The second half was obviously not to her, and he didn't even mean to say it out loud. ]

Oh, um.

Wait, how many people have these things?

We have not yet found one. Have you found anyone you know? It seems that many have someone else froem their home, when they come here.

Quite a few. I do not know the exact count, but I would estimate at the least several dozen.

Well, actually, I did find someone I know...

This is kind of fishy, you know.

Good. Are you going to meet with them?

I know. I found myself in the same situation you did, and it sounds ridiculous, but it is the only explanation we have.

Well, I'm gonna try, at least.

...This is really happening, isn't it.

If you should need help, I would be willing to offer my assistance in any way I can.

Yes. There is little more we can do than accept it, and do the best we can to continue on.

Thanks. I think I'm okay right now, I mean, I'm meeting someone. But I'll let you know if I do need anything?

Very well. Take care, Hope.

I'm Terra...and I'm sorry, but it seems that at least for now, there's no means to leave this world and return to your own. We're searching for answers, though.

Terra, huh? Okay.

...you're sure there's not a way?

If there is, no one has discovered it yet. I wish I had better news, but if it seems that we're here to stay for the time being.

Are you somewhere safe?

Edited 2012-01-21 02:06 (UTC)

Oh. That's.

[ He sighs. ]

Huh? Yeah, I'm in a city, I guess. I don't know where to go but I'll figure it out, as long as...people aren't hostile or anything.

[Headshake.]

Just about everyone I've met here so far has been kind and welcoming. I don't think I've met anyone truly hostile to newcomers.

R-really?

They're not hostile to any newcomers?

[ He clearly finds that hard to believe, though he tries not to sound too shocked. ]

Well...if they are, I haven't seen or heard of it. I think most people know that this isn't our fault and are just trying to make the best of it.

... Hope?

Fang?!

You all right? Where'd you land, exactly?

This place is...Troia. I don't know if it's really a landing, but...

A-anyway, where are you?

Troia? Well that's convenient. That's just where I was headed. Why don't you stay put? I've got some business in that town.

Really? Oh. Um, okay. It's not like I have anywhere to go anyway.

[ooc: did you want to backdate a log or just action it up here or]

All right. Try not to get into too much trouble. I'm on my way.

( ooc; we might as well just action it up here if thats cool! )
