[Simon's feeling kind of down on his luck today; Denzel's gone, Cloud's still with Tifa, and Anise's kidnapping is sort of the icing on the cake. He's hanging out by the southern river closest to the shop plaza, attempting to skip stones.

Someone come cheer the kid up?]

[A side glance. He supposed trying to keep him occupied wasn't working too well.] Did something happen?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

...People go missing so easily here.

[freedomofscore.livejournal.com]

... Was it one of your companions?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Two of them.

[freedomofscore.livejournal.com]

Do you know where they might have brought them? [Is there something he could do about this?]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

No... nobody knows where they're taken. Papa says Denzel was sent back home, though.

[freedomofscore.livejournal.com]

People can return home from here?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Um... sometimes. If the Malnosso send people back.

[freedomofscore.livejournal.com]

What would be the purpose of that, though? It's rather strange that they'll go through the trouble of bringing us here and modifying our bodies, only to return us home when they see fit.

I don't know. [Simon frowns, tossing another stone.] No one really understands them or what they do...

[freedomofscore.livejournal.com]

[He watches the stone for a while, little contemplative.]

Forgive me. I had been intent on cheering you up, but it seems I have driven us to an upsetting topic.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Huh? [Wow, what a formal guy.] No, no! It's okay! It's nice of you to talk to me anyway...

It's never good to keep negative thoughts bottled up.
