[ Cloud looks only slightly irritated. Though, for him, that might mean he's extremely so. The hand that isn't holding his communication lifts to rub the back of his head as he gives a small sigh. ]

This is...

[ What? He's not entirely sure. The pamphlet gave answers enough, sure, though none of it makes sense. He's still not fully convinced this isn't some kind of dream. He can't treat it entirely like that, though, especially given that he did everything he could think of to make sure it was reality. It doesn't feel like the Lifesteam. He doesn't feel dead. At least he's pretty sure he doesn't.

So what was it? What could he say? Ridiculous? Unbelievable? Downright disturbing in the long run? ]

... Inconvenient.

[ He holds up the welcoming pamphlet. ] Missing anything?

Well, there is an upside to this!

[Wait for it...]

Nothing will have happened back at your homeworld whenever the coral decides to return you.

[...Botan that's not an upside.]

[ There's actual a small glimmer of relief at that. Nothing happening back home means people stay safe. ]

You're positive?

Most definitely! But you don't have to take it from me, sir, there will surely be others that can corroborate my information!

[She's positive in more ways than one, hur hur hur.]

I hope you've arrived in good health and will find someone familiar to you. The last new arrival I spoke with was injured, and healing them was quite a task!

[ He hopes it's true. It doesn't help the anxious desire to get back home any, but it at least eases the worry for his family some. Having two kids to take care of is nerve wracking, man. ]

In one piece. Found some friends already. Guess I'm lucky for once.

Chin up! At least you have some familiar people here! Starting over with relationships can be hard for some.

[Like for instance she's alone, and though it's not hard for her to interact with others she knows how anxious humans can get about it.]

[ He decides not to mention that he is starting pretty far behind in a relationship with at least one of them, which is just stupidly awkward. He gives a small shrug. He definitely would be one to struggle with making friends (if his lack in conversational skills didn't make it obvious), but he's not sure whether that would be a bad thing for him or not. ]

I'm usually fine on my own.

I'm sure you are, but certainly it gets lonely sometimes doesn't it?

Being lonely isn't so bad.

[Jiiii~]

Really? Being alone isn't bad sometimes, sure, but if you were feeling lonely you might be feeling pretty sad about it.

There are worse feelings in the world.

Oh, I know. Regret, despair, grief...goodness, I realize how I look, but that doesn't mean I haven't experienced this. I've probably been alive longer than you!

[ there's a surprised pause. ]

... Didn't mean to imply anything.

Well that's all right. You'll be meeting a lot of different people here, I think.

Name's Botan, by the way, what about you?

So I'm seeing.

[ A lot of mostly nice people and the amount of conversations he's had are more numerous than the ones he did at home. People sure are... social. He really ought to learn how to be a little bit better. ]

Cloud.

[People sure are social and this one especially so, she pretty much lights up at hearing his name.]

Cloud! I love that! Clouds are wonderful things, aren't they? It's quite invigorating to fly through them, and watching them change shapes is fun too!

[ He can't help but give a small smile at the reaction. That's a rare one, at least. And a lot cuter than teasing. ]

So long as they don't turn dark, yeah. Storm clouds aren't most peoples favorite things.

Hmm, no, not so much. Getting struck by lightning isn't that fun either.

[Le shrug!]

Though I suppose the weather down in this bubble is controlled, so we'll never see rainfall or storms unless we go up to the island.

Mmm. Right. [ He was still getting used to that concept. Not that he saw a whole lot of sun in Midgar anyway, but... ]

I guess that limits the chances.
