Um...

[ megumi is staring rather intently at her communicator. ... she does not look like she entirely understands. cue her punching in a few numbers...

no dice. ]

... it's not like the Loveline at all... [ she exhales and slumps before she shoots back up. ] But this is important! It sounds like a lot of people need help...

Is everyone okay? Um-- [ she presses her fist against her mouth. ] It looks super dangerous out there!

Where is everyone? If we weren't separated, we wouldn't have things like this... so there must be more people! I'm Megumi Aino, I'm fifteen and I'm from Pikarigaoka, Japan!

[ SALUTES. ] I'm ready to help however I can!

[Another kid. Well, at least she wasn't on a ship that got attacked. She looks about Hiro's age, maybe a year or two older. She sure seems enthusiastic, though.]

Not so dangerous anymore, it seems, thank Light. [Knock on wood.] Pikari... gaoka? That's a bit of a mouthful.

[isinvincible]

Light? [ ??? ]

Ah, it's not too hard if you break it up! What's your home like, mister?

[got_it_memorized]

... Yeah, Light. You know, the opposite of Darkness? [Does nobody else thank Light? Come to think of it, he's heard people say God or Maker, but he's never heard anybody say Light that way. Huh. Interesting.

[He has to laugh a little then.]

Pi-kah-ri-ga-oh-kah. Yeah, I guess it's easier once you know where all the syllables go. It just sounds really long at first.

Uhm... Well... [This is kind of a trick question. Where's home? Radiant Garden, which he hasn't returned to for more than a mission or two in over ten years? Or The World That Never Was, which was more like a prison than anything like home...? Maybe he'll cheat and pick somewhere else entirely: somewhere he would've liked to call home. It's not like she'll know the difference.]

Oh, ah, there was a beach, and a tram that ran through town, and a big clock tower at the train station. Great view from up there, I used to watch the sunset a lot. Of course, it was always sunset, but it never really got old.

A beach!

[ STARS IN HER EYES. ]

[isinvincible]

You like high places, then? It's a bit scary, don't you think?

[got_it_memorized]

[He laughs a bit.]

Yup, it's a pretty nice beach. The surf is pretty gentle--it's a good place to find shells, apparently. Friend of mine used to pick them up a lot. [Come to think of it... he's really not sure why Roxas started picking up shells in the first place. He feels like there was a reason, but... there's something fuzzy about it now. Huh.

[He shakes his head then.]

Nah, high places are great! You can see everything, when you're way up high. It's like maybe your problems are stuck at the bottom and for just a little while you can rise above them.

[isinvincible]

Mm, I love picking up shells too! It's funny to watch the crabs, don't you think?

[ she mimics the pincers of a crab. ] They move so strangely!

I've never tried that before... it's difficult to find a tall place in space. It's all around you!

[got_it_memorized]

I especially like the crabs that have one giant claw and one little claw, they look so lopsided.

Mm, I guess it's kinda hard to find a high spot on the ships, really... Maybe on the catwalks in the cargo bay, but that's about as high as it gets. When we're able to stop on planets and way stations, though, I like to look for a high place to sit, even just for a little while. Helps clear my head.
