To those who've met her, Serah Farron's not in the city anymore. [Light's keeping her face as straight as possible. Why emote in front of all these strangers?] It's been over a week since her disappearance. She may have been sent back home.

[Which is... honestly better for her, as far as Lightning is concerned. She's her big sister, and she'd have liked to spend more time with Serah, but she has a duty. They both do, but better for Serah to do hers, because it's far more important.]

To the newcomers: take this as a sign that we'll go home someday. No one knows when, but someday it will happen.

[And that's enough of an announcement for today. Just talking about it hurts her.]

Lightning. I like it.

[It sounded strong.]

And you're...human, right? At least organic?

[Video]

[lightstrike]

I'm human, yes, even if I do wear a suit of armor on a regular basis. [Saaarcasm.] Some aren't around here, but there are more humans than those who aren't.

[There's a huff of amusement at the sarcasm.]

Figured you looked squishy enough.

[Teasing? Nooo.]

's what I'm starting to find out. Over four million years of not seeing even one of them, and suddenly they're sprouting like sparks on a new hotspot.

[lightstrike]

If you ask me, there have been more of you people coming in during the past few months.

[Video]

[toughtalk]

Yeah? I saw a few of em at that 'Welcome Party' --[She completes it with finger quotes]--But they've been here longer, I'm guessin'.


[Which was a fun time in itself, since no one remembers her.]

[lightstrike]

About last month. Then this month, it was as if the floodgates had opened.

[toughtalk]

I've heard we make a pretty big impression.

[HAHA that's...her trying to make a joke. Don't mind if it's terrible.]

[Video]

[lightstrike]

Big is right. You're all very unmistakable.

[Video]

[toughtalk]

We try.

[In all seriousness, though, she rolls her shoulders.]

Guess we can't fault this Say-Song place on hospitality.

[Video]

[lightstrike]

They probably want you all to be as comfortable as possible. After all, most of us are much smaller.

[toughtalk]

So I'm finding out. Don't worry, anyone breaks anything? I'll make sure they pay for it.

[In...some way.]
