[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.]

[Chin propped in her hands as she stares at her 'gear with a big smile and fluttering eyelashes, Mabel is laying it on thick.

Really thick.]

Hope's a really pretty name for a super pretty guy~

[Did you ask questions? Because she didn't hear any of them.]

[distantfuture]

[Um. What.]

Th-Thank you, I think?

[maybeitsmabelline]

You're very welcome! I'm Mabel~ It's nice to meet you, Hope~

[More eye lash batting because she has to look good for her new potential boyfriend.]

I bet you had girls fawning all over you back home huh? You totally have the looks for it.

[distantfuture]

[He... actually kind of did. But he'd generally ignored it aside from Alyssa's constant presence on his arm. But he wasn't going to answer that because even now, the thought was a little embarrassing. Even his dad ribbed him for it.

Time to act like he didn't notice! Which was actually true half the time.]

Well, I'm not sure about that. I didn't really notice anything out of the ordinary with the girls around me.

[Nailed it. Hopefully.]

[maybeitsmabelline]

They clearly weren't giving you the right attention! You would have noticed.

[Because you're noticing the attention she's giving you right? Right?]

You're totally a hunk and we should meet and get milkshakes sometime!

[distantfuture]

[Uncomfortably so, Mabel, yes.

Also, milkshakes? If he wasn't blatant that she was hitting on him, he'd probably would have said yes but right now, he's not so sure he's comfortable with that.]

Maybe. I think I would like to get the lay of the land, so to speak. But thank you for the offer. [He gives her a smile because yeah, it's kind of a no and he feels bad.]

[maybeitsmabelline]

[It wasn't an outright no so Mabel is going to take it!

She waggles her eyebrows at him, biting her lower lip as she grins.]

Sure thing, handsome~ [And now a fingergun. She's been hanging around her Grunkles too much.] Keep me posted okay? Because I am totally there when you want to hang out.

[distantfuture]

[He can't help a small laugh. Well, he's in for it now, he supposed.]

You got it.

[No answers to his questions but that's okay.]
