[Raven is sitting on the grass in the back yard of House 12, looking at a large patch of fire lilies that have grown. He knew he must've planted them at some point in the past, because they had always reminded him of her. It was still strange to see so many growing in what was otherwise a relatively empty garden.]

Ya know, with Jack showin' up again so quickly, Old Raven has been thinkin'. If the me that was here before was pulled into Luceti from a point that's in my future, and I'm from his past, but I'm in Luceti's future... Then did he know all along what was gonna happen in Luceti, because he remembered it all from me? Or did he just arrive like the rest of the New Feathers tend to do? If that's the case, then it means when I do go home, I'm goin' ta forget everyone I've met here... Oh! Maybe he was from some kinda alternate timeline, and I will remember stuff?

[He stops rambling, letting out a huge sigh.] I just realized that I'm sitting here by myself, talkin' to a bunch of flowers... I'm losin' it, really! I'm goin' insane, this is the proof! The flowers are telling me things! [And with that, he throws himself backwards, arms stretched wide as he laid down, staring up at the sky.]

Or maybe I'm just wonderin' what's going on back home. Gah! I'm not the type to be homesick! I need to do something! Anything!

Maybe I am... my head's been all over the place lately thanks to the kids gettin' themselves into trouble.

[ voice ]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[ voice ]

[crisisrain]

A robot chick killed Flynn and attacked Yuri! Oh, it was just awful! We barely made it out alive! Kid spent a week in the clinic thanks ta her.

[ voice ]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

Flynn was killed!?

[ voice ]

[crisisrain]

... Yeah, he was. Turns out some robot-chick went on a rampage for no good reason and he got caught.

[ voice ]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

Did they catch her? Is Flynn all right now?

[ voice ]

[crisisrain]

Flynn's fine! I asked him what his penalty was, but he hasn't quite figured it out just yet. As for her, she was killed as well.

[ voice ]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

...I see. [sighs.]

What do you mean by penalty?

[ voice ]

[crisisrain]

Huh? Oh, well, if ya read the guide, you'd know that once ya die here, you come back with a penalty. Sometimes it's things like losin' your sight, other times it's just stuff like becomin' weaker.

[ voice ]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

[thinks for a moment before recalling the information.]

That's right, now I remember. Hopefully Flynn's penalty isn't too serious.

But what happened to the...robot girl...? [she's a little unsure as to the term. robot?] Has she...revived? [and slight frown here, though he couldn't see it.]

[ voice ]

[crisisrain]

[He pauses. Knowing who that girl actually was makes it difficult for him. She's not that kind of person, it's the Malnosso's fault that ever happened to her.]

Ya don't need ta worry her. Everythin' has been sorted already.

[ voice ]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

Hm...

[small little pause.]

Raven, what exactly is a "robot"?

[ voice ]

[crisisrain]

They're machines, made from metal and can do things like walk, or attack. They're programmed by a script, similar to how a blastia is programmed by a formula.

[ voice ]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

Machines that can be programmed to perform such tasks? Do such things exist in our world in the present time?

[ voice ]

[crisisrain]

Yup, sure do! You'd be surprised but it's really not any different from blastia, actually robotics seem normal for most other worlds in comparison.

[ voice ]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

It's still a little hard to believe, but it does sound rather amazing that such technology exists.

[ voice ]

[crisisrain]

Alexei had made a few little robots himself! Called them 'murders', not exactly an appealing name, but he'd be better ta ask about robotics than me. I don't know much.

I only just learned what a helicopter was.

[ voice ]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

[...no that. really wasn't an appealing name, and she once against has to question it.]

A helicopter?

[ voice ]

[crisisrain]

They're kinda complicated, and I don't understand 'em much myself. They're basically flyin' vehicles? I think.

[ voice ]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

Vehicles that can fly? [the disbelief is clear in her voice as she just shakes her head.]

I'll have to take your word for it.

[ voice ]

[crisisrain]

Will ya take my word on the fire lilies too?

[ voice ]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

[small sigh.]

I'll stop by once I've finished.

[ voice ]

[crisisrain]

I'm not goin' anywhere. Drop by whenever ya feel like it!

[He's quite happy in the garden.]

[ voice ]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

I'll see you later, then.

[and books is now closing.

TIME SKIP!?]

[ action ]

[crisisrain]

[TIME SKIP.

Raven is still in the same place. Only now he's kinda asleep. Let's assume it's in the evening.]
