[fairly]

[Zack is hanging around the shop plaza, doing a little investigating to try and see if there's anything special about the place now. If the supposed portal is going to open there, he's curious to know if there's anything in the area that's changed. You might find him poking at the fountain, circling the sunken well, stopping and crouching down to check the ground beneath the snow sometimes. He's pretty focused on his work, though it probably looks strange.

Bother him?]

No worries. The plaza's not that big, and I'm not really expecting to find much. But it was worth a shot, right?

[goldenglasses]

Of course! Never know what you'll find unless you try!

Although... it would have been nice if they had just put a big: Portal to open here sign.

[wingenvy]

[Zack laughs.]

You're right, that would've helped a lot! Maybe it'll show up when the portal does open?

[goldenglasses]

Hopefully. Otherwise people may not know where to go! [He grins before holding out his hand] My name's Vash by the way.

[wingenvy]

[Zack likes this guy already. Have a handshake!] I'm Zack- it's nice to meet you.

[goldenglasses]

Likewise! So... are you going home? [He'd like to know if he just made a new friend to lose him. :(]

[wingenvy]

[Poor Vash. :c] Nope! I'm afraid Luceti's stuck with me for the long haul. How about you?

[goldenglasses]

Actually I'm not sure. I don't think I'm going - I'd hate to forget the people I met here. But there's friend from my world here. If she wants to go I'm going with her.

[wingenvy]

That makes sense. I guess it would suck if your friend wound up leaving without you.

[Hitting kinda close to home, but stay cheerful, stay cheerful...]

[goldenglasses]

I doubt she'd leave without me. But if she wanted to go - I'd go with her. I have... something I need to take care of when we get home; but I'd like to do it without forgetting people. [Vash gets a small hint that he might have hit a sensitive subject. Just not completely sure.] But it’s nice to know I know one person staying behind [The fact that he met you all of two seconds ago means NOTHING to him XD]

[wingenvy]

A lady friend, huh...? [Well Zack's all for making instant friends, it's kind of how he rolls. So he's glad for the company too.] Well, from what I've seen over the journals, a lot of people have their doubts about it. I'm sure there'll be others still in Luceti even if it does work.

[goldenglasses]

[Blushing at lady friend comment - uh focusing on other comments. Yes.] Yeah, there are a lot of people staying but when you're new it doesn't take many to leave to make a difference. I must admit though most I've talked to aren't going to try it. [He smiles] I hope those that do get home alright.

[wingenvy]

[Mwahaha, blush get.] I hope so, too. Even if it might get a little lonely here, if they're really needed...

[goldenglasses]

[Vash gets it now.] Got friends going home?

[wingenvy]

...They haven't decided yet. [And he's worried.]

[goldenglasses]

[Good job on the sore topic there Vash.] I'm sure it will all work out in the end.

[wingenvy]

[Zack won't hold it against him |D] Yeah, things usually do around here, surprisingly. I'm not worried. [Except he is, but he's not telling.]

[goldenglasses]

They do? Well, that's good. From the way some people were talking it seemed like nothing good ever happens here. But I've kinda enjoyed myself so far.

[wingenvy]

Well, even if bad things happen, it's usually only for a couple of days and then things are back to normal.

[goldenglasses]

Well that’s good to hear! I guess I can handle one or two bad days if most of them are nice like the past few have been! [I mean… it’s nice to go a day without someone trying to kill you for 60 billion double dollars]

[wingenvy]

Yeah, overall Luceti's not bad! Part of why I'm not jumping at the chance to go home. [Zack can relate to that, since Luceti was kind of an escape from his life on the run.]

[goldenglasses]

Gotta love that everything here is free too. It makes me wonder what home would be like without money.

[wingenvy]

I wonder about that too, sometimes. Though I wonder how many people would get fat and lazy because they didn't have to work!

[goldenglasses]

Y-yeah... Hahaha! I bet a lot of people would probably stop working.

N-not me of course. I'd still kinda work. [At which point he's going to break off into nervous laughter.]

[wingenvy]

Hey, I can't say much to criticize. I haven't worked in seven years.
