[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.

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.]

One would hope. [Pun intended. He even smiled a little.] If my friends arrive at all, I will be grateful. But I don't want to be let down either.

[he was speaking from experience, actually.]

Unfortunately, son, I'm so new that I haven't heard those names, even if they might be around. But I'll make a note of them in case I do hear them.

[He doesn't mean to be condescending with that. It's the sort of 'son' that comes with showing sympathy and concern rather than generally talking down to him.]

[distantfuture]

That's alright, anything is better than nothing. It's appreciated nonetheless.

[Better than kiddo by stupid Snow Villiers.]

[sociallychallenged]

Any of them especially notable? Height, age, race, a few special characteristics?

[His mind defaults to easy descriptors that maybe can lead to later investigating.]

[distantfuture]

We're all human, no real special height or anything like that. I'd say look out for the type of clothes, but we all arrive in new ones, so that won't help. I guess just look out for anyone who mentions Cocoon or Gran Pulse, that's where we're from. Nova Chrysalia would be another location as well.

[sociallychallenged]

I was meaning specific people, like their hair color or like... pasty pale or dark-skinned. You're from a place where there's more than humans or things that look generally like them?
