[He is a little apprehensive about doing this, but he doesn't have any of his usual resources. Nor his friends or family. He takes a breath, to which his Minccino, sitting on his shoulder, nuzzles his cheek to keep him calm.]

It would seem I've been derailed from my original journey to a new world, landing here instead. My name is Hope Estheim, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could let me know if others who were with me are here as well.

[Text appears at this point.]

Nora Estheim, Bartholomew Estheim, Lightning Farron, Serah Farron, Snow Villiers, Oerba Dia Vanille, Oerba Yun Fang, Sazh Katzroy, Dajh Katzroy, Noel Kreiss, Paddra Nsu-Yeul, Alyssa Zaidelle.

That being said, I was made aware of a Met-...sorry, I mean, Minior shower and are best seen at the observatory on Sevii Islands. If I can make it, even for a little bit, I would like that very much. I understand it is in the Kanto region but I'm unsure what the best and fastest way to travel once I take the ferry from here.

If you could kindly give me directions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

[He sounds like he's addressing a large crowd, making some sort of speech. Something he has done in the past when he actually looked his age, so it may sound odd now coming from a child. He's also probably unintentionally making a sad puppy face. But Hope is making due with the lemons given to him.]

_{[Oh. Shoot. She hasn't heard any of those names in a LONG time.]}

Hey, uh.

I recognize a couple of the people you mentioned. Snow and Lightning, mainly. They're not here anymore, unfortunately, but at one point they were. And they might be again, one day.

This place operates kinda weirdly when it comes to that sort of thing. You never know who's gonna show up.

[distantfuture]

So I've been told.

[A small sigh. To realize that his friends had already come and gone. It was a bit heartbreaking.]

I guess I can only wish I arrived sooner.

[foolishwren]

_{[SORRY HOPE. :(]}

Yeah... bummer.

_{[... An understatement, but.]}

I don't know if it makes you feel any better, but I know people who have left and come back... like, three, four times even.

So leaving... doesn't mean anyone's for-sure gone forever.

[distantfuture]

And no one has figure out why that happens?

[foolishwren]

Not really.

There's a Legendary Pokemon-- a god, basically-- that supposedly watches over us. Like, us, the otherworlders, specifically.

But it wasn't here when I got here.

So who knows.

[distantfuture]

A god Pokemon watches over us but he didn't originally? How did you guys find this out?

[He's genuinely curious and not questioning the validity of the statement. He's a researcher at heart.]

[foolishwren]

We were kind of there when it was... made.

Long story and other people could probably tell it better than me, but I guess if no one else steps up to the plate I could talk about it.

_{[IT'S KIND OF EMBARRASSING BECAUSE SHE WAS PARTIALLY A POKEMON AT THE TIME]}

There used to be a different one, and I don't know if that one was ever born, only that it passed the reins over to the new one.
