I've been here almost six months now, with nothing except a bit of a lost bracelet situation to call a holiday, and anyone would think I'd be exhausted. I am, a little, but mostly I'm worried. I do want us all to come out of this alive, even if it takes a lot of hard work and a lot of effort.

[ Because, really, optimism is all she has left. After everything that's happened and with everyone that's come and gone. ]

Would anyone like to spend some time somewhere quiet, maybe? Things have been so strange around here lately that I've barely had time to go and read, or make any new friends. It's better late than never, though, I think.

And, um. Has anyone seen Spike? I think he might have... Let me know.

I'm hardly a new friend, but I wouldn't mind doing something nice and quiet, Hermione.

Funny, you never struck me as the quiet type.

[Garrett, being sarcastic? Never. Hermione's always fussed over him in public anyway, he'd hardly count that as quiet.]

[windbreak]

How quiet were u thinking
You want to meet new people, gotta make allowances right?

[brainiest]

Do you think we've earned a few years of it by now?

Speak for yourself. You never stop talking.

[ hah. C: ]

[brainiest]

Did you have something in mind, Yosuke?

[blackhand]

Only because you keep fussing.

[Banter is okay with him but Hermione pls, he is a grown man who can take care of himself.]

[vampdetective]

Spike?

[Forget the rest of the message -- well, no, not forget, Angel has thoughts to share on the rest of it too, but what are the chances that they're thinking of the same Spike? If Connor is here, if Fred and Gunn are here, then it stands to reason that Spike being here, past or present, was entirely possible.]

Looks a lot like Billy Idol, likes freeform poetry?

[brainiest]

Well, someone has to. If I don't who will?

[ :T you're not getting out of this one friend. ]

[brainiest]

I can't say much about Billy Idol, but he did like poetry. Talk, a little gangly, leather jacket, bleached hair? That's my Spike.

[vampdetective]

[Her Spike. Well, that never boded well.]

Sounds like we have a friend in common.

[He uses the term loosely.]

I'm Angel.

[windbreak]

more like I'm surprised you'd be short on people to hang out with??
in all seriousness though, you could come chill with us sometime
whenever really
It wouldn't be awkward at all!
all work and no play, u know

[brainiest]

It might be 'had'. I'm not sure if he's here anymore.

[ Even though he had promised... But no one can promise to stick around in Asgard. It didn't work like that. ]

I'm Hermione. It's nice to meet you, Angel.

[blackhand]

That's the whole point. I'm not dead.

[He will avoid the point however much he likes tyvm.]

[brainiest]

A lot of people have gone home, I suppose that's why. I'm used to not being ridiculously popular but - I miss my friends.

'Us' being you and Souji, right?

text;

[brainiest]

That doesn't mean much here. I've died once.

[windbreak]

Or whoever else is around, lol! Were not joined at the hip.
Just didn't wanna say you + me in case you took it some other way

besides at least you know you have them? friends
That's something.

[blackhand]

I still don't see why you want to fuss over me.

[thoughts]

it's always quieter here.

[ than home, in some ways. not so much in others. ]

i like it.

[brainiest]

Think of it as an occupational hazard.

Never any harm in making new friends. I'm Lee, and if you wanted to talk or anything, I've often got a few hours free.

And I hope you hear from your friend.

[brainiest]

That sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe we could have a picnic or something? I know we're still being careful with things but I bet we could make something work.

And I know. Thank you, Yosuke.

[windbreak]

Hey why think small? they were making headway on the ice and all, right??
well that's what I heard, idk, i've been staying away
but once they get all the way through, it could be worth celebrating!
just a little.

[Naturally, the other friends he mentioned don't get a say in this.]

[brainiest]

I suppose it depends on what you mean by 'quieter'? There's less running away from things, certainly.

It's nice to meet you, Lee. My name's Hermione Granger - and that's really nice of you. Thank you so much. How long have you been here?
