A life so demanding;

[The sound of a battle can be heard clearly from down the hall as a new member of the dressing room enters. She has no problems finishing the beasts off, returning Blaze Fire to the holster before turning and noticing the different surroundings.]

Is this some kind of joke? Come on, Hope.

[She sounds clearly annoyed, her voice stern. That is, until she realizes Hope isn't behind her where she left him.]

... Hope?

[She spins around to look at Kairi, giving her a once over before speaking.]

A kid not much younger than you, silver hair, about this tall--

[She makes a motion referring to his relative height.]

-- He was just here.

I didn't see anyone, sorry. You're not... a new arrival, are you?

[astracera.livejournal.com]

That would depend on my location. This isn't where I was before, that's for sure.

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

You're in the dressing room. People wind up in here all the time and from all different places.

[astracera.livejournal.com]

So why didn't he?

[She crosses her arms, looking all but pleased.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

I don't know. It takes some people and not others... and sometimes it takes people from the same world later than others. It's hard to predict.

[She frowns hard.]

So he might not even be here at all?

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

Yeah. But he might wind up here later, you never know.

[Lightning sighs hard, pretty much groans, really. She still sounds everything but happy as she turns away slightly and crosses her arms.]

So we're stuck here for good?

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

Mhmm. Sorry, but that's how it's always been.

[She looks sympathetic, at least?]

[astracera.livejournal.com]

Huh.

[She frowns hard, just lost in thought.]

You'd be best to find a place to stay, since you're going to be here a while. There are plenty of empty rooms.
