First Flight - [Video]

[albioreii]

[The voice feed pops up first though there's not much to hear, then quickly switches to video to show a confused blonde girl. It looks like she's testing buttons, though it's clear from the look on her face she's dissatisfied with the results.]

I don't think this is going to be much use... it looks like a book, but on the inside... I can't really

[... Wow. He might not have seen her in a long while, but he still knows that face and that voice anywhere. The second... he has to think about before a name pops into his head. But...]

... Noelle? Ginji?

[Video]

[albioreii]

[Noelle's surprised to hear the voice come out of the book she'd set aside, which she quickly turns her attention back towards. Though that's not nearly as surprising - or as worrying - as who she saw there.]

Luke? Is that you?

[Video]

[albioreiii]

[He definitely recognizes the voice, but as far as Ginji can tell, Luke's nowhere in sight. That is, until he notices Noelle tinkering around with the book again. He shuffles over, curious, and peers over her shoulder for a better look.]

Luke, you're all right. Is everyone with you?

[Video]

[cakeblocked]

Yeah, hey!

[He grins upon seeing Noelle. Yes, Luceti might be an awful place, but it's still really good to see familiar faces here. Especially when one of those people happens to be someone he practically trusts with his and everyone else's life almost every day on Auldrant.]

They're not really... with me, but... they're in the village, anyway.

[He's seeing how no one else has commented yet, so...]

Oh, those books are yours. See the cover?

[Voice]

[mirrorbirth]

Now you're here too?

[What is this, Auldrant week?]

[Still Video]

[albioreii]

[The voice is obviously familiar, but they're already talking to Luke and he has the video up... so she takes a guess.]

Asch...?

[They'd only spoken a few times, so she wasn't sure. She glances over at Ginji - he'd probably have a better idea than her.]

[Video]

[albioreiii]

[Ginji confirms Noelle's guess only a second later.]

Ah- Asch!

[He considers thumbing through the spare journal, but it'd be too difficult to maneuver one-handed. Nevertheless, Ginji sounds relieved.]

You made it out okay. [Thank goodness.]

[Video]

[mirrorbirth]

[Erk. It's the sister he doesn't know. Asch is tempted to just leave it up to Luke, but when Ginji responds, he pauses for a long moment, then focuses back on the journal.]

You mean Eldrant.

[So he's from... hmm. That could complicate things. Then again Ginji himself is a complication, considering what he knows. He'll have to deal with this more carefully than usual.]

[With Natalia's arrival only a few days before, if that, Ion hadn't been expecting to see anyone else from Auldrant arrive... let alone two people seemingly at the same time! He almost calls out to them through the journal, but... er. Right. He doesn't know what time they might be from. It'd probably be best to do so under a filter, just in case.]

Noelle, Ginji, are you both all right?

[Video/Voice/whatever we'll work it out //Filtered 25%]

[albioreii]

[... that voice makes Noelle freeze. Unlike Natalia, Luke and Asch's presence did not raise any alarms for Noelle, nor would it for Ginji. They were still alive and well in their time. But... she knew that voice.

... perhaps it might've been that other replica, the one Luke and Anise had rescued at Absorption Gate. And yet she was fairly sure that one hadn't learned her name, let alone Ginji's. There's no real way to tell from the little picture, either... But...

Her voice is hesitant, and more than a little confused.]

Fon Master...?

[Video/Filtered 25%]

[albioreiii]

[Ginji hasn't spent as much time around Ion as Noelle and the others have. In fact, Ginji's only met him a few times in person, but it was Ion who had given them permission to use the hover drives in the first place, and he's helped everyone plenty of times since then, too. It's just... According to what Noir and the others had said, wasn't he...?]

[Well...]

We're fine for the time being, Master Ion. Just a little disoriented is all.

What about you...?

[Video/Filtered 25%]

[soreplaceable]

[...well. Ion may not know exactly when, but Noelle's tone is enough of a hint she's probably from a time further than he. If they arrived together, Ginji is likely the same. Clearly the filter was a smart move.]

I'm not the one who needs to be concerned over right now. Has anyone directed you to the village yet? Hopefully it shouldn't be too far from where you are, but... [The malnosso aren't exactly known for making things convenient for new arrivals.]

[voice]

[offallingsnow]

[Only one of those voices sounds familiar...but there's just something about it.]

Hello?

[voice]

[albioreii]

[The voice is familiar to Noelle too. They'd only really spoken once, but they'd worked together to make sure Luke and the others were able to get to Absorption Gate to stop Commandant Grants...]

Nephry?

[Not one of the voices she expected to hear, certainly.]

Re: [voice]

[albioreiii]

Yes, hello. We can hear you loud and clear.

[Where has he heard that name before? Mmmn... Oh!]

You mean... the governor of Keterburg? [He looks to Noelle for confirmation, since his sister seems to recognize the speaker. There sure are a lot of people from Auldrant here, especially if this really isn't Auldrant at all anymore.]

[voice]

[offallingsnow]

[it seems this is the time of year for new arrivals from Auldrant. Ginji gets double points - most ordinary Auldrant people don't recognize her by first name alone.]

That's right. [Now. Can she place either of them? Hmm...]

You're the pilot, aren't you? [Directed, of course, to] Noelle.

[Action] Hope you guys don't mind an action one? ;w;

[moehealer]

[Aaand Yellow just happens to be venturing around when she sees the two fumbling around with their journals and talking about finding roads. New Feathers, maybe? Regardless, she walks on over with a Pikachu by her side.]

Are you two lost?

[Action] Yes, we do 8| (No, we don't XD)

[albioreii]

[At the sight of another person, Noelle can't help but sigh in relief.]

Thank goodness... Yes, my brother and I woke up here and we're not sure what happened. Also, we need to find medical attention in the near future, if you know where we can get it.

[She still doesn't entirely buy the 'just knocked around a bit,' Ginji. Also not too concerned about the yellow cheagle-like thing, though she does glance at it a little in surprise. It was kind of cute...]

[Action] AW YEAH ACTION TAGS!

[albioreiii]

[Ginji turns his head towards the newcomer, trying not to jar his arm more than he already has. She seems friendly enough and, well, he's guessing the unusual looking cheagle is her pet.]

[He won't protest about the doctor. Ginji realizes his arm could use an examination, but he doesn't need Noelle worrying too much about it right now. It's really not all that bad in the grand scheme of things.]

And... directions to an inn, if you don't mind. It's a little cold out.

[Action] ACKSHUN /o/

[moehealer]

["Woke up here"... Yep, definitely New Feathers. Yellow gives them a smile and a nod.]

I don't mind at all! There's a clinic but... there aren't any inns here. [She scratches her head a bit.] Umm... There is a Welcome Center, though.
