[Hi, everyone. Remember that kid with a bit of a chip on his shoulder? The one who came through all that bereavement and strife to face his fears and confront his Fate head on and (insert ten-minute-long speech about coming up against the world and taking on Hell himself and... you know, stuff)?

The one who takes no nonsense (well, most of the time) and might secretly strive just a little to be just like the crotchety soldier woman who was just days ago ordering someone off their lawn?

Yeah, well, now he's sitting in the middle of the Plaza on his butt, SOBBING LOUDLY like a hysterical five-year-old and not caring who sees.

What do, citizens. What do.]


(ooc: Can apply to any day during the event if you wish. :] And uh. What trait of his have I amped up? Just his typical melodramatic tendencies. Nothing major. :') Haaave fuuuun.)

[What do? Comfort the poor boy, surely. Kay can't just leave a child weeping on the street. She crouches down next to him, the very picture of concern.]

What's wrong, son?

[You certainly didn't ask for it, but Lucy's now patting you gently on the arm and making soothing noises. This extra-kind-and-friendly version of her can't help but comfort people, after all.]

[Mama Bear!Terra so can't ignore this. She drops what she's doing and darts over, all concern.]

What happened?!?

[It's hard not to hear that. The first sob he hears is more than enough to send Hubert whipping around and in Hope's direction. He feels and looks alarmed, because why is a boy wailing so prominently in the middle of the square?]

Are you all right . . . !?

[Oh lord what. Seto notices the boy just sobbing in the middle of the plaza when he comes out of a store and runs over to him with a worried look on his face]

E-Excuse me?? A-Are you okay? Please don't cry!

[frost_jewel]

[There's nothing at all different about Mia. She always wouldn't leave someone to cry like this.]

What happened?

[ And ironically, the one who probably cares the most about Hope in Luceti, the one who's basically his sister in everything but blood by now, mentor, partner in crime... the one who WOULD DIE FOR HIM WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT... is also the one whose reaction is likely the least sympathetic to his impromptu plight. There's a moment of alarm, of course, the upset over hearing him cry, but she's smart enough to know when there's an experiment going on, and as intensely whiny, moody, and dramatic as Hope can be, she's pretty sure there isn't anything that would cause him to do that unless there's also something else at play.

So she just kneels in front of him, hands on her legs, her face absolutely serious as she peers into his. ]

... Hope.

[This is not okay. :c Even though the kid looks like he's been sitting there and crying for a while now, Claude can't just ignore him, so he cautiously approaches him.]

Hey. Is everything okay?

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

[Whoa there! Is Hope crying?

This looks like a job for super derp, as he rushes over to his friend.]

Hope? Hey, what's wrong?
