[ooc: Alright everybody, here's how it works! Comment spam is the name of the game here and yes, my inbox can handle it! First comment is for anyone who's volunteered to help out and there's a lots of people so Selphie has already split everybody up into groups. aka: feel free to make your own groups. After that, there's just going to be general partyness going on! Threadjacking is more than encounraged (hell, it's expected and demanded) and there you have it! The grumps can come btw, they just can't grump at the party! xD]

The party was all set up and ready to go. The food had been delivered, the rec centre was thoroughly decorated and cheerful with its spring colours and Selphie was just hanging around waiting for the guests to arrive. Her small army of helpers had been hard at work since the day before and it hardened the perky brunette's resolve to make this one of the best parties she's ever thrown. A small part of her wished that her other friends from home and those who had left this place could be here to enjoy the party with everyone here. Even then, a larger part of her knows that it's better that they're not here.

Regardless, Selphie goes about getting this latest New Feather party arranged with every ounce of cheer and assuring those new people that not every people associated with Luceti is crazy. Giving them a welcoming environment to get to know some of their fellow residents is better than wondering what's going to happen next. Besides, it could help those shy people make some friends or get over their anxieties about social gatherings. Overall, Selphie felt that these parties were worth the hard work and would do them as many times as necessary.

[ That unnaturally subdued voice -- he whips around in search of the owner. Hubert looks down at the girl in surprise. ]

Sophie?

[ She nods. ]

Why are you here?

[ He assumes she means the party, though he won't be surprised if she's talking about Luceti as a whole. ]

Well, the party is for welcoming this cycle's New Feathers. . . . When did you arrive in Luceti?

When ...?

[ Mmmm, she looks around for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, though she isn't exactly sure when she arrived. She hasn't been keeping track. ]

I don't know.

[ Ah. Surely, she's talked with Asbel by now. Hubert will ask him later. Just to be sure . . . ]

Have you met with Brother?

Yes, Asbel helped me when I got here. [ She can't help but smile. ]

Then he must've explained to you the situation.

[ All right. This is good. ]

When it's time to leave, we'll head back to the house together.

... The situation? [ What situation does he mean, exactly? What did Asbel explain to her? ]

[ He nods. ]

Us being here. Luceti isn't situated in Efinea.

[ Oh! Yes, she is aware of that. ]

Hubert, do you know how to return? [ He's smart, right? He can help them out of Luceti and back home, right? ]

[ For some inexplicable reason, this makes him feel incredibly bad. On top of that, it's frustrating to know that he doesn't know. ]

. . . No one does, Sophie.

... We can't see the others again?

[ She misses them. ]

We can and will. If there's a way in, there's a way out.

[ People are known to be "sent back," anyway. ]

All there is to do is to find it.

Do you know where it could be?

Unfortunately . . . [ he trails off there. ]

Possibly somewhere beyond or around the barrier.

Then, let's go to the barrier.

The barrier encompasses more than the village. It'll take weeks to investigate one side alone. As of now, we're ill-prepared for that kind of journey.

Then ... what do we do ...? Will we be able to go eventually?

We should talk to Brother and Miss Pascal about it first.

. . . I can't promise that we'll find anything if we go.

[ She just nods in response. ] Okay.

[ He fixes his glasses. ]

Whatever happens, we won't be held here forever.

... You spoke to the Malnosso, Hubert?

[ That's how he must know that, right? ]

[ Well. That was sudden. ]

. . . Not yet. We shouldn't need the Organization to ensure our return.

[ Shouldn't, because they apparently don't know how to, anyway, and he doesn't like them. ]

Not yet?

[ Well, Hubert, she would like to meet them anyway. She wants to meet them before she leaves this place. ]

... Can we go meet them together, then? Asbel and Pascal, too.

[ Huh. He's not surprised about her wanting to see the Malnosso, but the reason why eludes him. ]

I . . . suppose we can, given the opportunity. Though it may be easier to speak with them over encountering them in person.

Why do you want to meet them?
