one laugh

[undespairing]

--t's this thing, anyway? [There's a soaking wet kid dripping onto the screen, when it turns on.] Some sort of magical object? Haha, that'd be pretty interesting. [He wipes it off with a wet sleeve, making the screen...wetter. A laugh.] Guess I should figure out where I am first, anyway.

[And with that, he pockets the communicator; viewers may hear him saying "Hey. Hey, excuse me," to random strangers, as he didn't bother to turn the thing off.]

[[Feel free to be the random strangers! He's bothering people around the fountain area.]]

Haven't found any so far, but I've only been here a couple of days. [His tone says he's been trying.]

Well, I'll keep my eye out too. If there's two of us looking, and if they're looking too, it'll be easier to find them. [He sounds strangely confident for a boy who's never seen a Gaian before today.]

[There's a hint of surprise on his face, but he's brushing it off a second later. Shouldn't surprise him so much for strangers to be helpful.]

Sounds good. If you find any, tell them Cloud's looking for them. [He figures that as good an introduction as any.]

Cloud, huh? I'll make sure to tell them that. [He says it as if he's already met them.]

--Oh yeah, and my name's Elmer. Nice working with you!

[He smiles, putting his goggles back on.] You too.

If you need someplace to stay, the tall buildings around this place are apartments.

...Woah, you mean people live in those things? [There's a definite note of curiosity as he glances up at the buildings.]

Thanks for the help! I'll look into them.

You're gonna have to hold down a job to make rent, but it'll be a roof over your head at least.

Good luck.
