Not the library. Who even knows how her friends will react.
[ They were already weird enough with the questions. This also explains the questions Rinoa had about his romance life. ]
You might enjoy the garage. [ His brows raise as something clicks in. Then he looks pretty excited. ]
And the training center!
[ Now he has an excuse to actually take someone to the make out spot. ]

[ Jim can play spot the blonde eight year old in a photo. The framed photos around around the place have pictures of a younger Zell, his Ma, and someone much older in a uniform and a white beard.
Once Jim joins him in the living room, he'll clap a hand onto his shoulder. ]
Ma, this is Jim Hawkins.
[ The woman is stand by two desks with papers and books opened. Jim may get a sense that she helps watch and tutor some of the local kids. She smiles brightly with relief in her expression as she looks at Jim. ]
What a surprise. Are you taking care of my rowdy boy?
[ Zell rubs his nose as he ducks his head. ]
Ma!
[ The woman laughs. ]
It's nice to meet you, Jim.

Angel would help if we told her. She might have something we could use.
Or maybe we'll get lucky and find a feather boa.
[ You know, after Zack dances with it... ]

[ You know, after Zack dances with it... ]
I might just have to ask her then and see if she can hook us up with something.
a feather boa though? OH. you mean one of those long feather scarves?
[ He would totally dance with it first, yeah. ]

We can use those feathers to make lures. And I still have paperclips we can make into hooks.
[ Some day they need to try a thing. ]
[ Some day they need to try a thing. ]
but don't you need those paperclips to pick locks? I mean I'm all for pranks but I wanna make sure we have enough just in case you know?
but yeah! we could definitely use the feathers for lures. sure there's other stuff around too.
[ They definitely need to try the thing though. Kunsel will be so happy. Only not really, but details. ]

I have enough! I have a couple packs still.
We should go to downtown again. Get supplies.
[ Or maybe they will find another craft store. ]

I'm gonna get jumped by a bunch of library girls and it'll be all your fault.
[ The indignity, Zell!
Jim does perk up at the mention of the garage, but he pulls back to give Zell a look. ]
Wasn't the training center where people go to make out?

[ Snorting as he tries to imagine it. ]
I don't think they will. If anything, they will probably be mad at me.
[ Zell isn't really bothered by it. They can say or do whatever the hell they want. He's not going to be bothered.
He will look like he just got caught doing something. Giving a sheepish smile. ]
Yeah, it is.

We'll just have to find out.
Guess he should have a break before we pull something. He is donating blood.
[ So they can be butts later. ]

I don't think he ever gets one considering who he travels with. this is probably the most peace and quiet he's got in a while.
[ Jim's sharp eyes pick out every one of the pictures, darting around to each. It's the same bright eyes and goofy smile that he loves, just in miniature, and he feels lighter for it -
-even as his stomach drops at being introduced. He stands up a little straighter and tries to look like a respectable person. He thinks he's probably not succeeding, but then she's laughing and seems alright.
Jim realizes he really hadn't put any thought into what to do now. ]
-Uh. Hi. It's nice to meet you too, ma'am.
[ That works, right? He's got manners. ]
I'm trying my best.

Yeah, keeping you occupied would give him some peace, huh. :)
You keep things lively for him at least.
Okay. I'll let you go. Take care, man.

[ Zell is already getting antsy with Jim being right here in his living room. Sure, it's a dream or whatever the hell this all was, but his heart was still thumping and his cheeks were red. His hand is moving to Jim's waist as he starts to guide him away from his Ma. ABORT ABORT. ]
Let's go, Jim.
[ His Ma doesn't seem bothered by her son trying to flee already. She just beams a smile, probably in a similar vein of energy of her son's. ]
Thank you for trying. It's not often he brings people home.
[ Zell, meanwhile, is trying to direct Jim back to the first room and towards the stairs. ]
C'mon, I'll show you to my room.

Hey, Zell. Are you guys alright?
Yo, Steph. [ After all of that hell and conversations he had, he's tired. But there is a real undercurrent of warmth there. Like things are already looking brighter. ]
Yeah, we will be alright. Going to meet up with the other two soon. How are you?
Yeah, we will be alright. Going to meet up with the other two soon. How are you?
[ Steph's tired, but... she's too tired to really even care anymore. At this point she's just going through motions. ]
I'm not dead, so I've got that going for me.
I'm not dead, so I've got that going for me.
I'm glad. Glad you're alive. [ He's not even sure what she needs to hear at the moment. :( ] Who did you see?
Whoa. That sucks! [ Putting it lightly. ] Did you- Did you get your light back?
Yeah.
Zack- with a 'k'- he found me, and took care of it.

You already know I'm gone.
It's pointless to tell you but don't come after me.
Something's happening. Something bad. I don't want you to see.

[ His heart was thumping hard in his chest as he headed across the skywalk when the message alert sounded. Pulling it out quickly and feeling everything stop as he sees the name on the screen. Opening it up quickly and reading it.
Reading it again.
And then just making a frustrated noise
It didn't explain much. Immediately he fires a response. He's pretty desperate and that scared him. He was afraid this place spirited Jim away... or worst... ]
What's happening? Jim? Talk to me please
