@TALYNARTHUR The Bell tower seems feasable. I'm sure they'll let us in. We're young, after all.
[ he worries if they'll ask them about parents, however.... she's right. Celebi IS a deity, minor one aside. ]
... C'mon, you're right, it's the best place to start, I think.
@TALYNARTHUR It'll probably help Hibiki in the future to not be shackled by them — or at the very least it'll give us the tools needed to stop *them.* Maybe it'll help some other things, too.
[ a child should not look this serious, yet his gaze is steady. ]
We need to find that Celebi.
@TALYNARTHUR Hey, Kotone... do you think this is related to YES, somehow? Since it was his Celebi that brought us here.
[ PAUSE. ]
Wait, you don't think that he—
[ he doesn't want to speak it into existence. ]
... i think Celebi is trying to get us to stop the league doing something. —
@TALYNARTHUR do you think it's possible that something happened, enough that they had to remove him from the history books? Or—!
[ pause. ]
The league.
[ oh thank god, the embargo doesnt affect him in the past. ]
Did they do something *to* him?
[ hes always been supersticious. ]
@TALYNARTHUR [ he holds onto the clipping, reading through it. 'RADIO PRESENTER DJ MARY AND FOUR REGION CHAMPION HIROKI UNVEIL NEW DEPARTMENT STORE IN GOLDEN ROD CITY'. ]
[ DJ Mary AND Hiroki? Wasn't it just DJ Mary who opened the store? This really doesn't sit right with Soul. ]
Do you...
@TALYNARTHUR ... i dont know about you, but it seems kind of fishy to me. Why did Celebi bring us back here? Who *IS* this guy?
[ pause. Wait. ]
Actually, better question; why do *we* not know about him?
@TALYNARTHUR Money.
[ thats the only explaination he gives for the first question. No one is above the offer of a free $100, even if its from an 8 yr old. ]
Wait, Hiroki... I heard people on the boat talk about him. Apparently he's recently returned from Unova to continue his "duties".
—
@TALYNARTHUR I— I'm glad you're okay.
[ That's Soul for I Missed You Too. She'll probably notice him holding onto her just as tight. ]
I'm fine. I— I walked here. Got a boat at Tohjo Falls. Figured some interesting things. How are you *here*?
[ he has no idea. ]
@TALYNARTHUR A a—AH!
[ Tries to catch!! But he is Small for his age. He is at risk of faling—!!! ]
[ sneaz came to save the day, holding souls leg steady. ]
Kotone...!
These walls are familiar to Kotone, as much as she doesn’t want them to be. As much as she wants to run to where Soul is, they might end up missing each other.
So she waits. Patiently. In the meantime, she’ll gather as much information as she can.
— JOURNALS; Prison Saga edition.
Sometimes Soul writes in a journal. Most times he destroys the evidence, preferably with fire. Sometimes, he refrains, or is unable.
