Okay, so I found out a bit ago it's March, which means I've been gone for at least six months. Someone mind telling me what's been going on in this place? It'd be appreciated.

[He pauses but goes on to add one more thing.]

My name's Cross by the way for anyone who knew me.

[hero_of_smiles]

Probably. But, like I said, I'll be fine.

[He does tilt his head curiously though upon what Neal says.]

You've been to another world before?

[He's quickly latching onto that topic, if only to avoid more uncomfortable talk about himself.]

[wegotlucky]

Yeah, a long time ago. It sucks being alone. But... it gets better.

Even if this place sucks, too.

[hero_of_smiles]

[It gets better? Did it though? All he could feel is that loneliness crushing him on the inside.]

Maybe there's a way to bring everything back.

[But was such optimism even warranted in this place?]

[wegotlucky]

I hope so. I want to be able to go back.

I'm sure you do, too, right? The people in charge here might not want us to find a way, but I know we will.

[hero_of_smiles]

[Go back...he would but what would he be going back to?

Neal's statement though just makes Cross shrug.]

I'm not sure...one of the admins didn't seem like a bad guy and he did say they were trying to save us. But, I dunno...

[wegotlucky]

There's gotta be a way to restore our worlds to normal. I know it.

[hero_of_smiles]

It'll have to be some pretty strong magic or something to pull something like that off.

[wegotlucky]

Could be.

But we need to hold onto that. If they can bring us here, there must be ways to fix our individual worlds.

You can count on it.

[hero_of_smiles]

If that were the case, why wouldn't they have done it sooner?

[wegotlucky]

I don't know.
