dear_mun | Because that new trailer...

It's because my back's showing, isn't it?

[ that or the ~~poledancing~~ sliding down that pole ]

N-no!!

..... maybe. A-a little.

But if I'm being honest, it was the colour that stood out the most to me at first. Black... doesn't suit you.

It's only the first of Nomura knows how many, Hope. [ at least twenty. ] I told Serah this already but, I look like I walked off the set of Alien vs Predator.

[ or some other sci-fi flick ]

[Hope can't help but chuckle.]

My mun is saying you look like you've been adopted into the Belmont Family.

He'd also like you to say you 'never asked for this' while wearing those sunglasses.

[Which Hope unironically loves by the way. To say nothing of his own role in the trailer.]

My mun is hoping her friend would give her an icon of me in those sunglasses sometime in the next hour.

[ but if she does, she might humor you Hope. might. ]

[You hear that sound? That's the sound of Hope not holding his breath.

He does give her a gentle smile.]

Regardless of the circumstances... or the apparel... both my mun and I are happy you're back.

...I only wish you weren't on your own.

I'm not alone. I got you, don't I? [ wry smile ] Or at least your voice in my ear.

[ a small pause ]

My mun's been playing me in a game lately. Found a relatively good place. With Snow and a younger you. Might nab a Fang and Vanille come next cycle.

[ caius, too, perhaps ]

Though honestly? Mun's been debating on posting again with me at the Hotel. Something to do with me in that new outfit or... something else.

You know I want to be more than just a voice to you, Lightning. I made you a promise after all, a promise I've been doing a poor job of keeping.

[He offers a smile at those words.]

I'm happy to hear that. You deserve a relatively quiet place with friends.

[Annnd now he's turning red.]

A-ah... Even though my mun is notorious for not finishing a thread with yours... and even though he's busier than ever... he wants me to pass on that he would not object to that.

[And neither would Hope.]

It isn't your fault, things were... just out of our control. Too far out of our control in the end. [ returns the smile softly. ] You know I don't blame you for not keeping it, right?

[ she scoffs suddenly, shaking her head ]

Please, quiet is probably the last word I'd use to describe that place. They confiscated my gunblade, Hope. [ nevermind she and snow got into one vicious verbal fight--one that might lead to them not talking to one another for a month ] Rather be somewhere else than there.

...You know, it's just as much my mun's fault as your own. Pretty sure it's her tag in the last thread we did.

[ and secretly, she wouldn't mind seeing him being in on that post either. ]

I know you don't. [Lightning doesn't need to blame Hope, but he's not about to tell her that.

And he can't hide a chuckle at her scoffing. Oh dear, a Lightning without her weapons is not a happy Lightning.... not that happiness is an attribute one would readily use to describe Lightning.]

I'm sure it isn't quite that bad. And I'm willing to bet you could think of worse places to be.

[Speaking of worse places...]

Atleast your mun can remember who tagged what thread last. But still, my mun is willing.... and so am I.

Mm. Mun's torn between a Choose Your Own "Adventure" concerning family "relationships"', me in that new outfit or me dealing with her assumption that I reached godhood in the new game.

Does your mun have a preference?

.... My mun says to tell you "How about this?"

I apologize, he was writing that tag when you replied here. Though he says that if your mun is still open, he's not against doing something with that outfit.

[And Hope agrees.]

Mine says this: That works, too.

We'll see what happens on her front. She's supposed to be without internet from Sunday to Tuesday due to the holiday.

If she's not doing something with that outfit now, then maybe next week.

[Oh god she's smiling. That always brightens Hope's day.]

And my mun is going to be more available come sunday, but he's willing to wait.

We'll both keep our eyes open for you.

Seems like life can't ever give us a break. [light scoff]

Well, mun tagged yours back. She's apparently letting you sort of get to have me in my new clothes.

I.... yes. I can see that.

[Excuse him as he blushes.]

And... forgive me and my mun for the other thread. My mun claims he can't resist such scenarios. A friend of mine in this headspace has already fallen victim numerous times to his 'inability to resist'.

[ rolls her eyes ]

It's fine. My mun would have put her post up... If the universe didn't eat the part she wrote up in Dreamwidth.

I guess we can call that second thread payback for the first one?

[A small laugh.]

I guess so, but truth be told I'd much rather be the one tied up.

[...]

Uh.... and by that I mean I'd rather be tied up to spare you from that fate!

I... I didn't mean that I...

[Except deep DEEP down... yeah he did.]

[ ...There's no way she can stop herself from laughing, even just a little]

Well, I did tend to help you out of rough spots back when you were fourteen, Hope.

[And that gets a blush out of the scientist.]

Well... yes, but falling off of a robot is a little different from being tied up by a magic sex-crazed hotel.

...

[Well those are some words Hope never thought he would say.]

[Alright, she's just going to laugh full heartedly right now...]

Point but the sentiment is almost the same thing. Don't you think?

[..... Lightning can laugh? He's heard her chuckle, but this is something else entirely. The sound is... beautiful. So much so that he almost misses what she said, he's so entranced.]

Um... y-yeah. I guess.

[He chuckles a little.]

It seems you're always taking care of me.

*laughs just a little bit*

Miss Mundane just watched that several times in a row...

[Siiiighs.]

So has mine. He hasn't stopped laughing about my promotion to "narrator" either.

She just bought one of those boxes so she can finally play, so even though she says she'll app one of us after the holidays none of us plans to hold her to it...

"One of us?"

Do you share a headspace with Lightning?

Ah, no! No... [Soooo many flaaaaiiiils.]

Nobody quite like Lightning, not yet anyways. Miss Mundane hasn't played your canon yet... But there are over twenty of us muses living with her already, so... Well, I'm not sure someone like that would be willing to share with so many.

[ Don't mind Kairi, she'll just be over here wishing she could end up being nearly as amazing. ]

[And tiny!Hope will be over here wishing for more of the same.]

Woah...

She's... amazing. My mun's told me that she's just that, but seeing it is totally different.

[And of course, talking about Lightning just brightens his day.]

Y-yeah! You should try actually fighting with her! She's even cooler up close!

[But his mood darkens a miniscule amount.]

I just wish she wasn't alone...

Maybe someday, I'll get the chance to. Though I'll probably end up in the way at first. I'll definitely try my best if it ever happens, though.

[ Oh no, none of that Hope. Nope. None at all. ]

She's tough, isn't she? I mean, I wouldn't want Sora or Riku fighting alone either, but they have, and they managed just fine. I'm sure she'll be okay.

I'm so proud of you guys! This looks really exciting.

[Hope laughs sheepishly.]

Th-thanks Xion, but... I didn't really do anything.

You narrated it!

Y-yeah. A little.

But I don't just want to be a voice in this game! I promised Lightning I'd watch out for her... and look at everything that's happened since then.

[Fuck Hope's life.]

Well... I'm sure you'll play a bigger part. And you did everything you could. Don't feel bad.

That doesn't change the fact that all this stuff happened to her... and everyone else.

.... I'm not giving up though. Even if all I am is a voice to her, I'm not going to let things end for Lightning. Whatever it takes...

I know you can do it. I believe in you, Hope.

[at least she didn't say "I have hope in you" or something to that effect.]

Because that new trailer...
